GoldSim Webinars

We offer free, monthly webinars to present GoldSim features and applications. Upcoming webinars are listed below. If you would like to be placed on our Webinar Mailing List to be reminded every month of the upcoming webinar, contact us.

All webinars are recorded (and posted to the site within a day or two), and these provide an excellent resource for learning about GoldSim features and applications.

Materials and video recordings of past webinars are available on our Webinar Archive Page.

    Next Webinar: Stochastic Simulation of Daily Temperature

    Presented by: Jason Lillywhite

    Join us for our upcoming webinar where I will introduce and demonstrate TempGen, a GoldSim implementation of a daily temperature simulator. TempGen is designed to simulate stochastic, long-term minimum and maximum daily temperatures for any location, building upon the foundational work of the WGEN model. The model consists of two main components: the seasonal trend, which captures the cyclic nature of temperature changes throughout the year, and the daily randomness, which incorporates daily fluctuations and variability.

    TempGen provides a modular approach to simulating weather, allowing you to choose whether to simulate precipitation, temperature, or both. This flexibility facilitates realistic simulations of environmental processes affected by temperature, such as evapotranspiration rates.
