Distributed Climate Water Balance Model
This is an R package containing the model code for the Distributed Climate Water Balance Model, as described in:
Moore, R.D., Trubilowicz, J.W. and Buttle, J.M. (2012), Prediction of Streamflow Regime and Annual Runoff for Ungauged Basins Using a Distributed Monthly Water Balance Model. Journal of the American Water Resources Association, 48: 32–42. doi: 10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00595.x
The model described in the paper is an extension to the monthly water balance model from the USGS:
McCabe, G.J. and Markstrom, S.L. (2007). A Monthly Water-Balance Model Driven by a Graphical User Interface. Open-File report 2007-1088. U.S. Geological Survey, 6 pp., Reston, Virginia
To install:
devtools::install_github('jwtrubil/DCWBM', build_vignettes=TRUE)
If you are on windows, you'll need to install Rtools along with the devtools R package in order to run the install_github() command. If you use osx, you'll need to install xcode from the Mac App store.
Load:
