The package TOPMODEL contains some functions and code snippets for hydrological data analysis with R, that may eventually make it into a properly released R package. For now, the code can be downloaded on this page and used at your own risk, without official support (although I very much welcome all feedback). The core of the package is an implementation of the venerable TOPMODEL.

Information on R, including downloads, installation and a great choice of manuals can be found on the R website. If you follow strictly the examples used below, you will be able to run TOPMODEL with a very limited R knowledge. However, R has a great potential for pre- en postprocessing of the data (including uncertainty analysis and statistics), so a more extensive knowledge of R is highly recommended!

This page contains various code snippets that may be useful for hydrological analysis and modelling in R. Stable functions with some broader relevance may eventually make it into the TOPMODEL package. The packages has its own topmodel:page.

Importing data

Topographical analysis

Hydrological modelling

Uncertainty analysis
