RainyDay

Project Description

RainyDay is an open-source Python-based software for generating large numbers of realistic extreme rainfall scenarios based on modern gridded rainfall data. These scenarios are used to examine extreme rainfall statistics or to drive flood simulations, and the methodology has been adopted by FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Interns focus on activities such as identifying improvements to RainyDay (e.g., refactoring, performance improvements), developing containerized versions of the software, or building a web-based app version to facilitate usage by non-experts.
