PROFILE
Charles Seaton
Over six months, contributed to the schism-dev/schism repository by building and refining data integration and preprocessing pipelines for hydrological and hydrodynamic modeling. Developed automated workflows to ingest and merge GLOFAS, NWM, and HYCOM datasets, using Python and Fortran to streamline data preparation, enhance model initialization, and improve simulation fidelity. Implemented robust error handling, flexible argument parsing, and detailed documentation to support reproducibility and maintainability. Addressed edge cases in data quality, introduced climatology fallback mechanisms, and automated hotstart file generation for river and ocean models. The work emphasized scientific computing, geospatial analysis, and numerical modeling to support reliable forecasting workflows.
