CMF: A Hydrological Programming Language Extension For Integrated Catchment Models.

Hydrological models are created for a wide range of scales and intents. The Catchment Modelling Framework (CMF) extends the Python programming language with hydrology specific language elements, to setup specific hydrological models adapted to the scientific problems and the dominant flow processes of a particular study area. CMF provides a straightforward method to test hydrological theories and serve as a transport module in integrated, interdisciplinary catchment model approaches.
