This R package contains the core code to perform a dynamic TOPMODEL simulation. A related package for processing GIS data to set up dynamic TOPMODEL implementations can be found here.
These two packages are intended as successors to the original Dynamic TOPMODEL implementation in R; the dynatopmodel package. Currently (as a design choice) not all the features of the original package are implemented.
If there is a feature or improvement you want or you experience problems please raise an issue (or better still submit a pull request with alterations or fixes!) rather than contact the maintainers directly in the first instance.
Over time there have been numerous variations on and applications of the R versions of dynamic TOPMODEL, selected references can be found in the Selected References vignette or here
Thanks goes to:
- Peter Metcalfe who developed the original port of Dynamic TOPMODEL to R during his PhD sponsored by the JBA Trust.
- The NERC Q-NFM project (NE/R004722/1) at Lancaster University for supporting this update to dynatop.
- The original developers of Dynamic TOPMODEL, Keith Beven and Jim Freer, who contributed to the original R port of Dynamic TOPMODEL.
Using the code
Alongside the packages available on CRAN the latest development version can be installed from the git repository from within R using the devtools package:
devtools::install_github("waternumbers/dynatop")Prebuild packages of the development version (which may be ahead of CRAN) are available from the r-universe
