Note on status model
Date note status model
Incorporated models or components:
Spatial dimensions 2D
Spatial extent Continental, Regional-Scale
Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology
One-line model description DHSVM is a distributed hydrologic model that explicitly represents the effects of topography and vegetation on water fluxes through the landscape.
Extended model description DHSVM is a distributed hydrology model that was developed at the University of Washington more than ten years ago. It has been applied both operationally, for streamflow prediction, and in a research capacity, to examine the effects of forest management on peak streamflow, among other things.

Describe input parameters Input parameters are:
  • Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the basin
  • Soil textural and hydraulic information
  • Vegetation information
  • Meteorological conditions at a subdaily timestep, in particular precipitation, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, incoming shortwave radiation and incoming longwave radiation
  • Information about the stream and road network (location, width, etc.)
Input format ASCII, Binary
Other input format
Describe output parameters There are a number of different types of output that the model can produce. In short, the following possibilities are available:

DHSVM hydrologic output

  • Default output (these files are always produced)
  • Model state files
  • Network flow files
  • Travel time based hydrograph file
  • Optional output files

Sediment Module output

  • Default output (these files are always produced)
  • Network flow files
  • Optional output files
