The SalishSeaNowcast package is a collection of Python modules associated with running the SalishSeaCast ocean models system of daily nowcasts and forecasts. The runs use as-recent-as-available (typically previous day) forcing data for the western boundary sea surface height and the Fraser River flow, and atmospheric forcing from the four-times-daily produced forecast results from the Environment and Climate Change Canada High Resolution Deterministic Prediction System (HRDPS) operational GEM 2.5km resolution model.

The model runs are automated using an asynchronous, message-based architecture that:

  • obtains the forcing datasets from web services
  • pre-processes the forcing datasets into the formats expected by NEMO and the other models in the automation system
  • uploads the forcing dataset files to the HPC or cloud-computing facility where the runs will be executed
  • executes the run
  • downloads the results
  • prepares a collection of plots from the run results for monitoring purposes
  • publishes the plots and the processing log to the web
