| Model type | Modular |
| Spatial dimensions | |
| Spatial extent | |
| Model domain | , |
| One-line model description | Distributed hydrological model, water and energy budgets |
| Extended model description | GEOtop accommodates very complex topography and, besides the water balance integrates all the terms in the surface energy balance equation. For saturated and unsaturated subsurface flow, it uses the 3D Richards’ equation. An accurate treatment of radiation inputs is implemented in order to be able to return surface temperature. |

| Start year development | 1997 |
| Does model development still take place? | Yes |
| If above answer is no, provide end year model development | |
| Model availability | As code, As executable |
| Source code availability (Or provide future intension) | Through owner |
| Source web address | |

| Input - Output description | |
|---|---|
| Describe input parameters | Please see: http://www.geotop.org |
| Input format | ASCII |
| Other input format | |
| Describe output parameters | Please see: http://www.geotop.org |
| Output format | ASCII |
| Other output format | |
| Pre-processing software needed? | No |
| Describe pre-processing software | |
| Post-processing software needed? | Yes |
| Describe post-processing software | JGrass (http://www.jgrass.org) for visualizing inputs/outputs. Interface with IDL, matlab and R are also being developed. |
| Visualization software needed? | Yes |
| If above answer is yes | |
| Other visualization software | JGrass |
| Process description model | |
|---|---|
| Describe processes represented by the model | Please have a look at: http://www.slideshare.net/GEOFRAMEcafe/geotop-2008?type=powerpoint. |
| Describe key physical parameters and equations | Please give a look at http://www.geotop.org |
| Describe length scale and resolution constraints | Resolution is limited by RAM. Processes however are parametrized at a few square meter scale. |
| Describe time scale and resolution constraints | Most forcings are required at hourly scale. Integration time step is what required by numerical algorithms to converge (depends actually on processes) |
| Describe any numerical limitations and issues | Any of the processes modeling can be obviously improved. |
| Model testing | |
|---|---|
| Describe available calibration data sets | There are few test on Rio Corda, a ten square kilometer catchment in Trentino, Italy. Simulations on Little Washita will be made available soon, too. |
| Upload calibration data sets if available: | |
| Describe available test data sets | Please look at the GEOtop website. |
| Upload test data sets if available: | |
| Describe ideal data for testing | The ideal data set is one as those of Panola catchment. |
| Users groups model | |
|---|---|
| Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? | Yes, see list-geotopdev@ing.unitn.it and the developer's website. There is also a list for users: list-geotopusers@ing.unitn.it.
