The HydroCouple project is a cross platform component-based modeling framework for integrated modeling in the environmental and earth systems modeling field. It is developed using C++ and its interface definitions aro better support simulations on HPC infrastructure, standard geospatial dataset formats, and customizable data exchange workflows.

Join our GitHub repository to contribute and use the growing list of compliant model components.
