Hillslope River Routing Variable Infiltration Capacity Model (HRR-VIC) and Calibration Results

This resource is a modified version of the Hillslope River Routing (HRR) model (Beighley et al., 2009), which now derives surface and subsurface flow using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model formulation equations (Liang et al., 1994), termed the HRR-VIC model. HRR is a topography-based routing model that integrates surface and subsurface runoff laterally into river channels and routes discharges throughout the river network based on the Muskingum–Cunge method, resulting in discharge estimates for each river reach. Model results and code for 39 gauges in the Ohio River Basin over a 9 year span is presented, as a reference for the study, "The Applicability of SWOT’s Non-Uniform Space–Time Sampling in Hydrologic Model Calibration," doi:10.3390/rs12193241.
