Model:WBM-WTM

WBM-WTM

Also known as	WBMplus
Model type	Modular
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Global
Model domain
One-line model description	Water Balance/Transport Model
Extended model description	Gridded water balance model using climate input forcings that calculate surface and subsurface runoff and ground water recharge for each grid cell. The surface and subsurface runoff is propagated horizontally along a prescribed gridded network using Musking type horizontal transport.

Memory requirements	--
Typical run time	--

Describe input parameters	depending on configuration, the model can be run with Air temperature and Precipitation only. In the most complex configuration, the model will also need vapor pressure, solar radiation, wind, daily minimum and maximum temperature. Built-in functions allow trading input variables (e.g. use cloud cover instead of solar radiation).
Input format	Binary
Other input format
Describe output parameters	The model can output any variables used for the water balance and transport calculations. The most frequently requested ones are: potential and actual evapotranspiration, soil moisture, groundwater storage, river discharge, irrigational water uptake.
Output format	Binary
Other output format

Describe pre-processing software
Post-processing software needed?	Yes
Describe post-processing software	The model is integrated into the in-house developed Global Hydrological Archive and Analysis System (GHAAS), which has a rich set of GIS tools.
Visualization software needed?	No
