One-line model description openAMUNDSEN is a modular snow and hydroclimatological modeling framework written in Python.
Extended model description openAMUNDSEN is a fully distributed model, designed primarily for resolving the mass and energy balance of snow and ice covered surfaces in mountain regions. Typically, it is applied in areas ranging from the point scale to the regional scale (i.e., up to some hundreds to thousands of square kilometers), using a spatial resolution of 10–100 m and a temporal resolution of 1–3 h, however its potential applications are very versatile.

Describe input parameters
  • A digital elevation model (DEM) as an Arc/Info ASCII Grid (.asc) file in a projected coordinate reference system, with the same spatial resolution in which the model should be run
  • and time series of the meteorological variables air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, global radiation and wind speed in NetCDF or CSV format.
Input format ASCII, Binary

Describe output parameters
  • Calculation of snowmelt using the surface energy balance or a temperature index/enhanced temperature index method
