Runoff Modeling with TOPOFLOW

STEP1 Run and visualize a TOPOFLOW simulation
Go to the CMT Workspace and Open TOPOFLOW Project Now you are in the CSDMS Modeling Tool. It will automatically start up in the CMT Help, for the exercises we will use the ‘CMT Workspace’.

• Under the File Menu, choose ‘Open project’. • Go to the Terrestrial Group. Open Project: TOPOFLOW + GC2D.

You are ready to import examples, adapt and run simulations We will use the hydrological toolkit called ‘TOPOFLOW’ as an example to explore how CMT works, and what component modeling is all about.

STEP2 Run and visualize a TOPOFLOW simulation
Under the File menu, choose ‘Open Example Configuration’. Here examples of previously wired model simulations are stored. These files are called *.bld files.

>> Open the directory for TOPOFLOW. >> Find the subdirectory 00_Oct_27_2011 >> Click on the ‘bld’ file named: Treynor_June_20_67_Storm_Oct_27_11.bld
