Model:HydroPy

HydroPy

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

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D, 3D
Spatial extent	Global
Model domain	Hydrology
One-line model description	A global hydrological model useful for assessment of the land surface water balance.
Extended model description	HydroPy model is a revised version of an established global hydrological model (GHM), the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology's Hydrology Model (MPI-HM). Being rewritten in Python, the HydroPy model requires much less effort in maintenance and new processes can be easily implemented.

Keywords:	Global hydrological model, land surface water balance, Python,
