This is the official GitHub home for the tRIBS (TIN-based Real-time Integrated Basin Simulator) model and its associated tools. tRIBS is a physically-based, distributed hydrologic model used with a wide range of applications.
tRIBS is a C++ model that simulates the hydrologic processes of a watershed. Our goal is to provide a robust, open-source platform for hydrologic modeling and to foster a community of users and developers.
Here are the main repositories managed by this organization:
- tRIBS-Model/tRIBS: The core C++ source code for the hydrologic model. This is where you'll find the latest developments.
- tRIBS-Model/pytRIBS: A pre-to-post processing python package for tRIBS, making model setup and analysis much easier.
- tRIBS-Model/pytRIBS-examples: An example walkthrough for setting up and run a model using pytRIBS.
- tRIBS-Model/tRIBS-benchmarks: A set of official benchmark cases for the tRIBS to validate a new tRIBS installation and explore example datasets.
- tRIBS-Model/tRIBS-Workshop-Sandbox: An example walkthrough for setting up and running a tRIBS model inside of a web browser.
- tRIBS-Model/rtdocs: The source code for our official documentation and user wiki, hosted on Read the Docs.
- tRIBS-Model/MeshBuilder: A utility program required to generate files for parallel tRIBS simulations.
The best place to start is with our official documentation.
