WAM2layers
WAM2layers is an atmospheric moisture tracking model. It can be used to determine where precipitation originally evaporated (backtracking), or where evaporated moisture eventually ends up (forward tracking).
Reference paper: Atmospheric moisture tracking with WAM2layers v3
The animation above illustrates the concept of backtracking: you first see the water content and fluxes move forward in time (left panel). Midway through, the animation reverses and the moisture from the "source region" is tracked backward in time (right panel).
How does it work
The simplest experiment with WAM2layers could look like this
pip install wam2layers[viz]
wam2layers download example-input-eiffel
cd example-input-eiffel
wam2layers preprocess era5 config-eiffel.yaml
wam2layers track config-eiffel.yaml
wam2layers visualize output config-eiffel.yaml
See the documentation for a more detailed description. We also have a video walkthrough!
