Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style.

The Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model (PIHM) is a fully coupled multiprocess hydrologic model. Instead of coupling through artificial boundary conditions, major hydrological processes are fully coupled by the semi-discrete finite volume approach.

The model has been "tightly-coupled" with GIS (PIHMgis). Along with integration of model, it also provides several GIS based pre- and post-processing tools, which are referred to collectively as the Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Modeling System.

PIHM system has mostly been written in C/C++ and GIS interface is supported by Qt.
