Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Spatial dimensions Spatial extent Model domain One-line model description Large scale SPM based on irregular spatial discretization Extended model description Makes use of fast Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram calculations to represent surface processes on an irregular, dynamically evolving mesh. Processes include fluvial erosion, transport and deposition, hillslope (diffusion) processes, flexural isostasy, orographic precipitation. Designed to model processes at the orogenic scale. Can be easily modified for other purposes by changing process laws.

Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other None Memory requirements depends on model size Typical run time minutes to hours Describe input parameters SPM parameters (Kf, Kd, lf, etc) geomtrical and other parameters imposed by modifying the code Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters H, fluxes, discharge, catchment geom, etc, at all time steps, as welle as grid connectivity Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software very limited X11 based graphic output Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software interface not included Describe processes represented by the model Fluvial erosion, deposition and sedimentation, hillslope (diffusion) processes, flexure, orography Describe key physical parameters and equations see Braun, J. and Sambridge, M., 1997. Basin Research, v. 9, pp.27-52. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Large scale (100 km+) model, suitable for orogenic scale modeling but could easily be adapted Describe time scale and resolution constraints Evolution of Myrs, due to the model parameterization used (no human-scale proceses) Describe any numerical limitations and issues Limited to medium-size resolutions. Typical runs 256x256 Describe available calibration data sets -- Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets -- Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing -- Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Used by several collaborators in a variety of modified versions, adapted to each one's needs Is there a manual available? No Upload manual if available: Model website if any Model forum / discussion board Comments This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant No but possible WMT component Not yet"Not yet" is not in the list (Yes, In progress, No but possible, No not possible) of allowed values for the "Code CMT compliant or not" property. PyMT component Is this a data component Can be coupled with:
