T
TOPMODEL calibration procedures are relatively simple because it uses very few parameters in the model formulas. The model is very sensitive to changes of the soil hydraulic conductivity decay parameter, the soil transmissivity at saturation, the root zone storage capacity, and the channel routing velocity in larger watersheds. The calibrated values of parameters are also related to the grid size used in the digital terrain analysis. The timestep and the grid size also have been shown to influence TOPMODEL simulations. +
R
Tested against river temperature observations of the Kuparuk river on the North Slope of Alaska (described in Zheng et al., 2019). +
C
P
Testing described in various papers (see web page) +
1
The codes have been validated against laboratory experiments which are described in Eke's MS thesis. The results are summarized in her thesis and in a conference paper that she presented in Vancouver. +
S
The component is unit tested against known analytical solutions as part of Landlab. +
T
The experiments by Wong et al. (2007) were used to determine a relation to express the elevation of the maximum probability of particle entrainment in bedload transport to the characteristics of the flow and of the sediment.
The Wong et al. (2007) dataset is available in the github repository with the comparison between model results and experimental data. +
H
C
The model has been benchmarked against analytical solutions for simple cases, such as fluvial slope-area scaling and parabolic to parabolic-planar hillslope form under uniform erosion, materials, and climate. Testing and calibration of some of the individual components (e.g., linear and nonlinear soil creep, stream-power fluvial erosion law, etc.) have been reported in the literature (for a review, see Tucker and Hancock, 2010). Testing of the full coupled model using natural experiments (Tucker, 2009) is ongoing. +
M
The model has been compared qualitatively with Clarke and Werner (2004), Gallagher et al 1998, 2003 and 2005 and various Hay papers. +
O
The model is tested against the known analytical solution (see Adams et al., 2017 for more details). It is unit-tested against this analytical solution every time Landlab is updated. +
S
The model is tested against three known analytical solutions (see Shobe et al., 2017 for details). +
M
The model is validated against a set of laboratory experiments that have been performed in a unidirectional flume. +
C
The model produces virtual core-logs which can be compared with Ocean Drilling Program and other descriptive core logs and with outcrops. +
E
The model was zeroed on the pre-1930 Minnesota River between Mankato and Jordan, Minnesota, using data available in the literature and on the USGS website. +
G
The test is available in the main function of the code +

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. +
