Source code for NMP-Hydro 1.0

This model was crafted by creating a framework and accurately translating the original Noah-MP LSM code from WRF-Hydro 3.0, coupled with a Muskingum method-based river routing model(Liu et al., 2023). CSharp, recognized for its modern and object-oriented approach, is widely used for software development across various platforms, particularly on the Windows operating system.

NMP-Hydro offers several advantages over the original Noah-MP and WRF-Hydro. Unlike the original version that requires compiling for each computer and predominantly relies on Unix-like systems, NMP-Hydro can seamlessly run on Windows systems supporting the Microsoft Dotnet Framework. The executable files, once compiled, can be easily packaged and distributed to other Windows computers, providing convenience for users less familiar with Unix-like operations.
