Model:PCR-GLOBWB

PCR-GLOBWB

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

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Global, Continental, Regional-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Hydrology
One-line model description	PCR-GLOBWB is a large-scale hydrological model intended for global to regional studies
Extended model description	PCR-GLOBWB 2 has been fully rewritten in Python and PCRaster Python and has a modular structure, allowing easier replacement, maintenance, and development of model components. PCR-GLOBWB 2 has been implemented at 5 arcmin resolution, but a version parameterized at 30 arcmin resolution is also available.
