HydPy-H (HBV)

HydPy implements a very close emulation of the central routines of the famous HBV96 model, introduced by Lindström et al. (1997). As discussed by Tyralla (2013), the results of hland_96 and the IHMS-HBV96 implementation of the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute agree very well for the tested river basins. This documentation focusses on technical aspects of HydPy-H and tries to be as precise as possible regarding the implementation of the process equations. The background of the scientifical development of the HBV96 model is more thoroughly covered in Lindström et al. (1997).

Available models:

• hland » HydPy-H (base model)
• hland_96 » HydPy-H-HBV96 (adoption of SMHI-IHMS-HBV96)
• hland_96p » HydPy-H-HBV96-PREVAH (fusion of SMHI-IHMS-HBV96 and PREVAH)
• hland_96c » HydPy-H-HBV96-COSERO (fusion of SMHI-IHMS-HBV96 and COSERO)
