| Does model development still take place?
|
Yes

|
|
| Post-processing software needed?
|
Yes
|
| Describe post-processing software
|
JGrass (http://www.jgrass.org) for visualizing inputs/outputs. Interface with IDL, matlab and R are also being developed.
|
| Visualization software needed?
|
Yes
|
| If above answer is yes
|
|
| Other visualization software

|
Process
| Describe processes represented by the model
|
Please have a look at: http://www.slideshare.net/GEOFRAMEcafe/geotop-2008?type=powerpoint.
|
| Describe key physical parameters and equations
|
Please give a look at http://www.geotop.org
|
| Describe length scale and resolution constraints
|
Resolution is limited by RAM. Processes however are parametrized at a few square meter scale.
|
| Describe time scale and resolution constraints
|
Most forcings are required at hourly scale. Integration time step is what required by numerical algorithms to converge (depends actually on processes)
|
| Describe any numerical limitations and issues
|
Any of the processes modeling can be obviously improved.
|
Testing
| Describe available calibration data sets
|
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.
|
| Upload calibration data sets if available:
|
|
| Describe available test data sets
|
Please look at the GEOtop website.
|
| Upload test data sets if available:
|
|
| Describe ideal data for testing
|
The ideal data set is one as those of Panola catchment.

Model Description
| Model type:
|
Modular model for the terrestrial.
|
| Description:
|
GEOtop accommodates very complex topography and, besides the water balance integrates all the terms in the surface energy balance equation. For saturated and unsaturated subsurface flow, it uses the 3D Richards’ equation. An accurate treatment of radiation inputs is implemented in order to be able to return surface temperature.
