ABSTRACT:
This is a tutorial for installing and executing the stream temperature model, RBM (Yearsley 2012, http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011515). RBM was developed within the framework of grid-based system adapted to the modeling of stream water temperature by integrating a macroscale hydrologic model, variable infiltration capacity (VIC), with a computationally efficient and accurate water temperature model. The hydrologic model has been applied to many river basins at scales from 0.0625 to 1.0. The water temperature model, which uses a semi-Lagrangian numerical scheme to solve the one-dimensional, time-dependent equations for thermal energy balance in advective river systems, has been applied and tested on segmented river systems at scales of 0.0625 degrees, 0.125 degrees and 0.5 degrees.
