dynatop

This R package contains the core code to generate and simulate a dynatop dynamic TOPMODEL. It replaces the previous dyatop and dyntopGIS which are now archived.

These two packages were 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.

A manual and worked example can be found at the dynatop homepage.

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
