Running the Examples¶
Prerequisites¶
# Ensure all dependencies are installed
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Verify GRASS GIS installation
grass --version
# Check data access
python -c "import requests; print('✓ Internet connection OK')"
Example Execution¶
# Run Arizona Sky Islands example
cd docs/examples/
python arizona_sky_islands.py
# Run large watershed example
python large_watershed.py --max-workers 4
# Run urban heat island example
python urban_heat_island.py --resolution 1m
# Run climate scenarios example
python climate_scenarios.py --scenarios all
Expected Results¶
Arizona Sky Islands¶
- EEMT Range: 5-45 MJ/m²/yr across elevation gradient
- Aspect Effect: ~5 MJ/m²/yr higher on north-facing slopes
- Elevation Effect: 300m elevation ≈ north-facing aspect
Large Watershed¶
- Processing Time: ~2-6 hours for Colorado River Basin
- Tile Success Rate: >95% with robust error handling
- Spatial Patterns: Clear elevation and latitude gradients
Urban Heat Island¶
- Urban Effect: +2-8 MJ/m²/yr in developed areas
- Land Cover Sensitivity: Strong correlation with development density
- Seasonal Variation: Greatest effects during summer months
Climate Scenarios¶
- Temperature Sensitivity: ~2-4 MJ/m²/yr per °C warming
- Precipitation Sensitivity: Varies by baseline aridity
- Spatial Heterogeneity: Mountain regions most sensitive
These examples demonstrate the flexibility and power of the EEMT framework for diverse earth system applications, from local ecosystem studies to continental-scale climate impact assessments.
