Getting started¶
Pages of the website¶
| Page | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Home | An overview of CoSWAT and recent updates. The Updates page lists them all. |
| Explore | The map of model results. See Explore. |
| Calibration | The map of model regions, used to define a slice of a model and to contribute a calibration. See Calibration and contributions. |
| Data | Downloads of model inputs and outputs. |
| Research | Papers and reports that use or develop CoSWAT. |
| About | The model, the framework behind it, community contributions and how to cite CoSWAT. |
The avatar at the right end of the navigation bar is the sign-in link. Once you are signed in, the avatar opens a menu with your name and the pages your account can use.
Accounts¶
Most of the website works without an account: the Explore map, the Calibration map and the public pages are open to everyone.
An account is needed to:
- prepare a slice of a model for download from the Calibration page;
- submit a contribution (a calibration, observations or weather data);
- see observed river flow at gauging stations, while the licence for those observations is being settled.
There is no public sign-up. Accounts are created by the CoSWAT team, and contributors are given the Contributor role. Sign in with your username at the sign-in page (the avatar icon). After five failed attempts, that username is locked for 15 minutes.
Planned
Password reset by email is built and will work once the website can send mail.
Terms¶
The glossary explains the terms used in these pages, such as region, subregion, HRU, LSU, channel, slice and run period.
