Examples

This page provides example applications, typical workflows and example notebooks for using HydroMet data from the Destination Earth Service Platform.

Typical applications

HydroMet can support decision-making in fields such as:

• Urban and infrastructure planning in the realm of climate adaptation

• Assessment of changing insurance risk

• Visualising local changes in extreme precipitation strength

• Helping water management agencies in assessing changes in flood risk

Data access

HydroMet output is published on the DestinE Data Lake under the collection identifier EO.DWD.STAT.HYDROMET_EXTREMES. Different model experiments appear as separate items, so users can identify the experiment, period, and realization they need and open the corresponding files directly.

Data Lake access and STAC metadata conventions are documented in the DestinE Data Lake documentation.

Notebook examples

The following example notebook demonstrates data retrieval and simple plotting of HydroMet data. Additional examples will follow.
