Describe input parameters depending on configuration, the model can be run with Air temperature and Precipitation only. In the most complex configuration, the model will also need vapor pressure, solar radiation, wind, daily minimum and maximum temperature. Built-in functions allow trading input variables (e.g. use cloud cover instead of solar radiation).
Input format Binary
Other input format RGIS - .gdbc
Describe output parameters The WBMplus model can output any variables used for the water balance and transport calculations. WBMsed unique output are: sediment-flux, over-bank water discharge, and all the BQART parameters.

Introduction

WBMsed is a distributed global sediment flux and water discharge model that extends the WBMplus (WBM/WTM) model by introducing a riverine sediment flux component based on the BQART and Psi models.

For more information on building, installing, and running WBMsed, see https://github.com/csdms-contrib/wbmsed#readme.
