The HYPE model an introduction

An introduction to the history of the HYPE model and the different functions presented by Lic. Göran Lindström, Hydrological Research, SMHI, Sweden. This lecture was given as part of the Open HYPE course, held annually at SMHI in Sweden.

 

 

 
 

Quick Guide on using HYPE

 
 

After reading this tutorial you should be able to download and run a demo model of HYPE. The HYPE model is available for download at sourceforge. You download the source code or precompiled executables and demos of small model applications. Included in download are a ReadMe-file with instructions for compiling the source files (ifort and gfortran compilers have been tested) to get an executable for your system.

 

Introduction to HYPE code structure

This short video series introduce the code structure of HYPE. The code is structured so that the algorithms of hydrology (actual model of HYPE) is embedded in a hydrological simulation system (HYSS). The videos present HYSS, HYPE and the interface between them.

How to build your own model

 
 

The HYdrological Simulation System (HYSS) that is used for HYPE is a framework that can be used to simulate other models. HYSS handles calibration, simulation, input data and writing results to files. The model handles the hydrological processes and calculates what happens during one time step. If you want to build your own model in the HYSS framework you only need to program the core of the model and couple it to the framework.

Starting a new model or digging into the HYPE-code can be daunting. We provide a simple hydrological model set in the HYSS framework as a template to facilitate this task. The simple model code is explained in detail in the code files and has only basic features. The template model is found on sourceforge (HYSS template model).
