Raven Utilities and Support Tools
RavenView(by J.R. Craig) (updated Apr 2024) An online visualization tool for Raven model output. Just drag-and-drop Raven input and output files onto your web browser to examine your model. YouTube Tutorial
RavenR R library(by R. Chlumsky) (updated Oct 2022) An open-source suite of R functions that can be used for viewing and analyzing Raven output - supports visualization and querying of hydrograph, state variable, forcing function, reservoir stage, custom output, model diagnostic, and Ostrich calibration output files. Requires installation of R. The RStudio interface is strongly recommended. The source code is also available via Github. See the RavenR page for details.
BasinMaker(by M. Han) A python library for watershed delineation with lakes. Provides routines for directly generating .rvh files from discretized basins. Pre-discretized North American basins may be directly downloaded.Magpie Workflow (v0.3)(by H. Burdett) (updated June 2024) An open-source python/R workflow package for building Raven models from scratch within the google colab environment. Users can upload their own data or use the workflows data collection services to acquire open-source North American topographic, land use, soil, and climate data. The data is then formatted for use in a series of tools, such as BasinMaker (to discretize the basin) and the RavenR software library (to generate configuration inputs for a Raven model). The end product is a model of anywhere in North America in less than an hour. Magpie getting started video
RavenPy(by C. Langevin, D. Huard, and Ouranos) An open-source python library for manipulating Raven input and output. Part of the PAVICS-Hydro system (Power Analytics and Visualization for Climate Science) developed by Ouranos.geoJSON converter for RavenView(by R. Arabzadeh, Feb 2022) An R-script for generating a RavenView-compliant geoJSON basin map file from a shapefile and Raven .rvh input file, with example input files. Check out the demo hereHydroGlyph(by L. Scantlebury) (May 2020) An online time series visualization tool for Raven outputs
Grid Weights Generator(by J. Mai) (Oct 2020) A python utility for generating Raven grid weights from an HRU shapefile and NetCDF gridded input datasetNotepad++ Style File(by J. Craig) (January 2021) User Defined Language style for editing Raven input files in Notepad++. Applies custom color scheme to comments and keywords. Dark mode contributed by G. Merritt (Jun 2023)Sensitivity Analysis Example(by J. Mai)Examples on how to apply the Efficient Elementary Effects sensitivity analysis approach of Cuntz et al. (2015) to an example Raven model. The tool can readily be applied to similar models. GRDC Flow Data/DWD Met Data to RVT Conversion(by J. Craig) (Sep 2023)R Scripts for converting publicly available German streamflow and meteorological data to Raven .rvt format |
