Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, the team delivered a set of robust data-processing enhancements and model improvements across the GEB repository, reinforcing data pipelines, model reliability, and maintainability. Key improvements include a MIRCA2000 data processing refactor with NetCDF consolidation that enables location-based farmer allocations; an observed water-use processor to calibrate irrigation data and fill gaps by region and irrigation type; and refinements to irrigation efficiency distribution and yield-SPEI groupings to improve forecast stability. The streamflow calibration workflow was tightened with improved data loading, error handling, and GPU resource management, while the GEB model calibration/economics overhaul and CropFarmers refinements reduced estimation error and streamlined simulations. Code cleanup and linting efforts reduced debt and improved long-term maintainability, supported by targeted fixes to data thresholds and IO handling to boost robustness. Overall, this work increases forecast accuracy, operational reliability, and scalable execution for larger, region-wide analyses.
