Heron Hydrologic

This introductory-level, hands-on training course provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to use Raven and its associated tools for hydrologic modelling and calibration. Designed for both researchers and professionals, the course begins with the fundamentals of the Raven model structure and execution, and progresses toward model modification, semi-distributed model development, reservoir and lake representation, and calibration workflows using Ostrich.

This course will be delivered in person at ETS in Montréal over two full days.

The course follows the itinerary provide here.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the required Raven input files and the tools available to help build and manage the files
• Run, modify, and extend an existing Raven model
• Build a semi-distributed hydrologic model from scratch
• Represent lakes and reservoirs in Raven and configure storage-based processes
• Apply calibration principles and run DDS in single-objective mode using Ostrich
• Use tools such as RavenView and RavenR to visualize and analyze model outputs
• Understand the hydrologic modelling workflow from setup to interpretatio
