## KI map — what to read, and when

| when you need | read | why |
|---|---|---|
| FIRST, always | `preflight_check.py` | run it (`python preflight_check.py`): proves env/binary/data are usable and emits a machine-readable `PREFLIGHT_REPORT=` line. Do not debug a run that never had a healthy environment. |
| to run the pipeline stages | `tools/` (4 tools) | the executable pipeline. Read each tool's argparse (`--help`) before composing a command; SKILL.md's stage table says which tool serves which stage. |
| before running a stage | `docs/s*_*.md` (5 stage docs) | per-stage procedure, verification and traps — the how-to that SKILL.md's overview compresses. |
| on ANY error, before debugging | `diagnostics/triplets.yaml` (18 entries) | symptom → diagnosis → remedy for this model's known failure modes. Check here FIRST; the answer usually exists. Never renumber or rewrite entries. |
| to know what an output IS | `dag.yaml` | the model's identity: every output's medium, units, `validation_rank` (1 = the headline variable) and observability. Scoring and obs-binding read THIS — when asked 'what does this model predict', the dag is the answer, not a guess. |
| when building inputs / parsing outputs | `docs/format_spec.yaml` | exact I/O shapes + `known_issues`, projected from dag + triplets. Regenerate with `ki_tools_common/generate_format_spec.py` after changing either — never hand-edit. |
| to judge a run's skill | `docs/validation_convention.yaml` | how this model's field judges it validated: per-`dag_variable` metrics, directions and CITED pass-bands. A run is graded against these, not against intuition. |
| for claims and thresholds | `docs/gathered_papers.json` (20 papers) + `docs/papers_index.md` | the literature this KI is judged by; each entry's `text_path` is fetched full text in the central paper cache. `role: benchmark` marks the model's own skill paper. |
| for a machine-readable summary | `knowledge_infrastructure.yaml` | the manifest (package, pipeline, validation tier, counts) — projected by `ki_tools_common/generate_ki_manifest.py`; regenerate after structural changes, never hand-edit. |

**Version**: 1.0.0
**Created**: 2026-03-26
**Model**: openAMUNDSEN (fully distributed snow/hydroclimatological model)
**Domain**: Cryosphere — snow accumulation, ablation, energy balance in mountain regions
**Language**: Python (with Numba JIT acceleration)
**License**: MIT

---

## Data Preparation

### Forcing data

**Data Sources**: Use `from ki_tools_common.load_forcing import load_daily_forcing` for CMFD/MSWX/NASA POWER.

**Data Validation Reference**: See `data_ki/CMFD/SKILL.md` for atmospheric forcing documentation.
See `data_ki/SNOTEL/SKILL.md` for snow observations.
See `data_ki/BedMachine/SKILL.md` for ice topography.
See `data_ki/MEaSUREs/SKILL.md` for ice velocity.


## Overview

openAMUNDSEN is a fully distributed snow and hydroclimatological modeling framework designed
for mountain regions. It operates at spatial resolutions of 10–100 m and temporal resolutions
of 1–3 hours. The model simulates the complete snow mass and energy balance including:

- Spatial interpolation of meteorological station data (IDW, lapse rates)
- Solar radiation with terrain slope/orientation, hill shading, atmospheric transmission
- Precipitation phase partitioning (air temperature or wet-bulb temperature methods)
- Precipitation correction for wind-induced undercatch (WMO, Kochendorfer)
- Snow redistribution based on terrain factors (SRF method)
- Multilayer or cryolayer snow models with full energy balance
- Forest canopy snow interception, sublimation, and melt unloading
- Evapotranspiration via FAO Penman-Monteith
- Soil heat conduction through multiple layers
- Glacier mass balance (experimental, delta-h method)

**Key output variables**: SWE, snow depth, snow melt, runoff, sublimation, surface temperature,
albedo, radiation fluxes, evapotranspiration.

## Output Description

**Source of truth**: `dag.yaml`. This section restates the KI's dag facts for readers; if
this section and `dag.yaml` ever disagree, `dag.yaml` wins.

**Headline output** (`validation_rank: 1`):

`dag.yaml` rank-1 fact: `var='swe' unit='kg m-2' description='Snow water equivalent — mass of snow per unit area (CF surface_snow_amount).'`

> `swe` — Snow water equivalent — mass of snow per unit area (CF surface_snow_amount). (`kg m-2`)

| Output variable (dag `var`) | Unit | Description / role |
|-----------------------------|------|--------------------|
| `swe` | `kg m-2` | Snow water equivalent — mass of snow per unit area (CF surface_snow_amount). |
| `snow_depth` | see `dag.yaml` | Other dag output |
| `snow_cover` | area fraction / extent | Other dag output |
| `snow_melt` | see `dag.yaml` | Other dag output |
| `snow_runoff` | see `dag.yaml` | Other dag output |
| `snow_density` | see `dag.yaml` | Other dag output |
| `evapotranspiration` | see `dag.yaml` | Other dag output |

The dag's rank-1 output is `swe`. Other dag outputs are `snow_depth`,
`snow_cover` (area fraction / extent), `snow_melt`, `snow_runoff`,
`snow_density`, and `evapotranspiration`.

## Unit Trap Table

**CRITICAL**: openAMUNDSEN expects specific units. Getting these wrong produces silent errors.

| Variable | Expected Unit | Common Mistake | Effect | Diagnostic |
|----------|--------------|----------------|--------|------------|
| `temp` | **K** (Kelvin) | Celsius (°C) | Snow forms at wrong temps, energy balance collapses | dt_001 |

## Unit Table / Unit Conversion Table

**Source of truth**: `docs/format_spec.yaml`, `dag.yaml`, and the unit traps above. This table
summarizes the units this KI already documents; verify source-data attributes before converting
new forcing files.

| Variable | Model / dag unit | Common source or mistake | Conversion / handling documented by KI | Diagnostic |
|----------|------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------------------|------------|
| `swe` | `kg m-2` | none stated in extracted dag facts | rank-1 output unit from `dag.yaml` | n/a |
| `temp` | `K` | Celsius (`degC`) | add `273.15` when converting Celsius to Kelvin | dt_001 |
| `precip` (CSV forcing) | `kg m-2` per timestep | `mm/day`, `kg m-2 s-1` | provide per-timestep accumulation, not a daily total or rate | dt_002 |
| `precip` (NetCDF forcing) | `kg m-2 s-1` | `kg m-2` with missing or wrong `units` attribute | model auto-converts by timestep only when the units attribute is set | dt_007 |
| `rel_hum` | `%` (0-100) | fraction (0-1) | convert fraction to percent before forcing preparation | dt_003 |
| `sw_in` | `W m-2` | `kJ m-2 h-1`, `MJ m-2 day-1` | convert to instantaneous flux before model input | dt_004 |
| `wind_speed` | `m s-1` | `km h-1` | divide `km h-1` by `3.6` | dt_005 |
| `cloud_fraction` | `%` (0-100) | fraction (0-1) | convert to percent explicitly; auto-conversion is fragile | dt_006 |
| `altitude` | `m` | feet, km | convert to meters before station/grid ingestion | dt_008 |
| DEM elevation | `m` | cm, feet | convert to meters and preserve DEM filename convention | dt_009 |
| `resolution` | `m` | km | convert kilometers to meters before configuration | dt_010 |
| Soil thickness | `m` | cm | divide centimeters by `100` | dt_011 |
| Snow density | `kg m-3` | `g cm-3` | multiply `g cm-3` by `1000` | dt_012 |
| Lapse rate | `K m-1` | `degC/100m`, `K/km` | convert gradients to per-meter units | dt_013 |
| Coordinates (CSV) | degrees (WGS84) | projected meters | set `meteo.crs` to match station coordinates or transform coordinates | dt_014 |
| Timestep | pandas frequency string (`h`, `3h`) | seconds, minutes | use pandas-compatible frequency strings in config | dt_015 |

Output units to verify after every run:

- `swe`: `kg m-2`, from `dag.yaml`.
- `snow_depth`, `snow_cover`, `snow_melt`, `snow_runoff`, `snow_density`,
  and `evapotranspiration`: listed as dag outputs; read their exact units from
  `dag.yaml` and output NetCDF attributes before post-processing.

| Output analysis | `docs/s5_output_analysis.md` | Variable naming, aggregation traps |

---

## Critical Domain Knowledge

These are non-obvious facts that cause silent failures if ignored:

1. **Temperature MUST be in Kelvin** (dt_001): The model uses T0=273.15 K internally.
   Input filters reject temp < 200 K, so Celsius values (e.g., -10°C) are silently clipped
   to NaN, causing interpolation failure.

2. **Precipitation is per-timestep accumulation, not rate** (dt_002): For CSV input,
   precip is kg m⁻² per timestep (e.g., mm per hour). For NetCDF with units="kg m-2 s-1",
   the model auto-converts by multiplying by timestep seconds. Mixing these up causes
   massive over/under-accumulation.

3. **Station coordinates in CSV mode must be WGS84 lon/lat** (dt_014): The `meteo.crs`
   config must match the station coordinate system. If stations.csv has projected coords
   but crs is set to epsg:4326, stations map to wrong locations.

4. **DEM filename convention is strict** (dt_009): Must be `dem_{domain}_{resolution}.asc`
   where domain and resolution match the config exactly.

5. **Lapse rates are in K/m, not K/100m or K/km** (dt_013): Monthly lapse rate arrays
   in config are per meter. A typical value is 0.0065 K/m (6.5 K/km). Using 6.5 directly
   means 6500 K/km — temperatures crash.

6. **Input filter silently replaces out-of-range values with NaN** (dt_003): If humidity
   is 0–1 fraction instead of 0–100%, values are clipped to NaN by the default filter
   (min=1, max=100). No error is raised.

7. **Cloud fraction auto-conversion is fragile** (dt_006): The model converts fraction
   (0–1) to percent only if max(cloud_fraction) ≤ 1 AND len(data) > 10. Short time
   series or already-percent data bypass conversion.

8. **Wind speed minimum is 0.1 m/s** (dt_005): Values below 0.1 are clipped. This
   prevents division-by-zero in turbulent exchange but affects calm-wind statistics.

9. **Snow model choice affects layer structure** (dt_016): "multilayer" uses explicit
   thickness layers; "cryolayers" uses categorical transitions (new→old→firn→ice).
   Switching models mid-calibration invalidates all tuned parameters.

## Validated Results

**Source of truth**: `docs/validation_convention.yaml`. This section restates the
convention bars supplied by the KI. Do not judge a model run by intuition; compare run
metrics against these cited bands. If a convention band is null, write `no cited threshold`.

### Headline Output: `swe`

`swe` is the dag rank-1 output: Snow water equivalent — mass of snow per unit area
(CF surface_snow_amount). Unit: `kg m-2`.

| Dag variable | Metric | Direction | Satisfactory band | Good band | Very good band | Citation keys |
|--------------|--------|-----------|-------------------|-----------|----------------|---------------|
| `swe` | `nse` | maximize | `>= 0.76` (`strasser2024`) | `>= 0.93` (`strasser2024`) | `>= 0.95` (`strasser2024`) | `strasser2024` |
| `swe` | `rmse` | minimize | `<= 76.0` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `<= 55.0` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `<= 46.0` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `strasser2024`, `wever2015` |
| `swe` | `csi` | maximize | no cited threshold | no cited threshold | no cited threshold | none |

### Additional Convention Bars

| Dag variable | Metric | Direction | Satisfactory band | Good band | Very good band | Citation keys |
|--------------|--------|-----------|-------------------|-----------|----------------|---------------|
| `snow_depth` | `nse` | maximize | `>= 0.7` (`strasser2024`) | `>= 0.79` (`strasser2024`) | `>= 0.92` (`strasser2024`) | `strasser2024` |
| `snow_depth` | `rmse` | minimize | `<= 0.283` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `<= 0.269` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `<= 0.186` (`strasser2024`, `wever2015`) | `strasser2024`, `wever2015` |

Achieved calibration, validation, and full-period metric values are run outputs, not
convention bars. Record them only when produced by this KI's execution and validation tools,
then compare them against the cited bands above.
