eWatercycle II: Allow the user to retrieve the model coordinate system and the units of the grid point values. The coordinate system can be presented through an SRID-compliant string.
eWatercycle II: R Hut has created a Matlab version and we would like to see this merged back.
eWatercycle II: S. Verhoeven has created an R version and we would like to see this merged back.
eWatercycle II: When used for model coupling, BMI expects variable names of the corresponding models to be mapped to standard names. In practice, modelers are not using these standard names...
eWatercycle II: Currently it is not clear at what point e.g. querying the grid or model variables should happen (before or after initialization). Guidance is needed about what is allowed...
eWatercycle II: Lumped hydrological models, ungridded surface dynamics models and hydraulic structure control models often have no grid but rather geospatial shapes associated to certain variables. How to deal with...
eWatercycle II: MPI parallel BMI: provide global grid administration through BMI for partitioned domains. This is necessary for the caller to reconstruct the global grid more easily. Reconstruction is model...
eWatercycleII: add a function that writes a restart file at the current model time, and read the file to actually do the restart. Starting from a restart should still be...
eWatercycle II: We would like some way to pass metadata from/to a model, such as Author, settings, etc. We prototyped an extention called “attributes”, and would love feedback from the...
eWatercycle II: Although too soon for standardizing anything, we would like a discussion on if it makes sense to collectively think about a network/wire/serialization format for BMI.
