Humidity#

humidity loads relative-humidity forcing and climate context. Loaded records can support atmospheric forcing summaries, evapotranspiration context, and HELP-style soil-water coupling, alongside other climate variables such as Temperature and Wind.

Accepted sources#

custom

A local humidity field or station series is authoritative.

custom

sim2

SIM2 gridded relative humidity should be retrieved over the project period.

Minimal example#

[[data.humidity.sources]]
source = "sim2"
extent = "watershed"

Field defaults, types, and validators for every key shown here are documented in the generated reference: [data] DataManagersConfig.

Loaded shape#

A custom source pointed at a directory is read station by station: each location and its chronicle are combined into point records carrying a relative-humidity time series. A custom source pointed at a single .nc or .tif file, and every sim2 source, returns a gridded field record instead; sim2 always covers the full grid for the requested bbox and period. Both paths normalize values to HydroModPy’s internal humidity unit, percent (%). See path for the field that decides which shape is loaded.

Downstream uses#

  • atmospheric forcing summaries alongside Temperature, Wind, and Radiation;

  • evapotranspiration context;

  • HELP-style soil-water balance coupling.

Humidity Source: custom#

Use source = "custom" for local humidity fields or station series.

[[data.humidity.sources]]
source = "custom"
path = "data/humidity/humidity.nc"
source_unit = "%"

Check whether values are fractions or percentages before any preprocessing uses them, and check units, period coverage, and spatial alignment with the other forcing families. Set source_unit when the file metadata do not carry explicit units.

Humidity Source: sim2#

Use source = "sim2" to retrieve SIM2 humidity fields.

[[data.humidity.sources]]
source = "sim2"
extent = "watershed"

The overview climatic summary panel plots precipitation and ETP only, so humidity has no dedicated figure. Check the loaded records directly: period coverage, unit convention, and spatial support.
