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) Through CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address https://github.com/csdms-contrib/golem Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements Variable Typical run time minutes to days Describe input parameters Standard input parameter files (ascii). For some conditions, also require additional binary file specifying boundary configuration. Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format Describe output parameters Elevation, drainage area, and related gridded information. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes IDL, Matlab Other visualization software some visualization scripts for IDL and Matlab available. Describe processes represented by the model Runoff, hillslope and channel sediment transport. Describe key physical parameters and equations Key state variables include surface elevation, soil thickness, and discharge. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Has been used on scales from small (few km2) watersheds to sub-continental areas. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Designed for time scales over which topography changes appreciably, which might be years for badlands, up to thousands or millions of years for other landscapes. Describe any numerical limitations and issues Equation set is still and uses robust but relatively inefficient solvers. Recommend testing with coarse grid resolutions (say, 20x20 cells) before attempting larger/finer grids. Describe available calibration data sets Few or none, unfortunately Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing [[Describe ideal data::See: Tucker, G.E. (2009) Natural experiments in landscape evolution. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, v. 34, p. 1450-1460, doi:10.1002/esp.1833.]] Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? -- Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any http://geode.colorado.edu/~gtucker/Software/Golem/GolemMain.html Model forum / discussion board Comments GOLEM was written in the 1990s by one of the creators of CHILD. Although it lacks many of the special capabilities of CHILD, it has a simpler, more compact code base (just a single C source file) and uses a raster grid data structure.
