NGWPC NWM Regionalization, Hindcast, and Coastal Tools 2026-06-09

Updated the model to use the nwm-ewts logging library and introduced a module-specific logging definition rather than relying on a generic EWTS implementation. Enhanced model functionality by adding precipitation rate output and implementing reset-time messaging support. Improved serialization by adding size headers to serialized data. Corrected and validated several model parameters, including updates to groundwater-to-stream recharge units, maximum soil type handling, and soil type value validation to improve model consistency and robustness.

Additions

• Integrated EWTS logging support across affected components, including module-specific logging updates, optional logging behavior, Docker/build integration, and unit-test coverage where applicable.
• Added state saving, state restoration, reset-time, restart, and hindcast workflow capabilities, including related time-management updates and model restart handling.
• Implemented and expanded serialization support, including serialized size metadata, message constants, integer-based transfer structures, deserialization bounds handling, and state-transfer messaging.

Changes

• Corrected unit conversions and size/type reporting across model calculations, serialized buffers, time-step handling, and BMI-facing data exchanges.
• Updated hydrologic model outputs and model-specific runtime behavior, including formulation outputs, GIUH/channel-inflow values, ponded-depth variables, and model-specific state/runtime handling.
• Updated CI/CD, security scanning, downstream pipeline triggers, and customer-delivery workflow configuration.
• Reworked serialization behavior, message metadata, reported state types, size calculations, buffer validation, and transfer logic for state save and restore workflows.
• Updated additional release updates covering updates to max soil type number () and check for soil_type value ().
