WBMsed is a distributed global sediment flux and water discharge model that extends the WBMplus (WBM/WTM) model by introducing a riverine sediment flux component based on the BQART and Psi models.
More detail on WBMsed can be found in Cohen et al. (2013) and at Prof. Cohen's research website, Global Sediment and Water Discharge Modeling.
WBMsed can be built and installed on Linux and macOS.
It requires an installation of the
Global Hydrological Archive and Analysis System (GHAAS),
with the GHAASDIR environment variable set to its install location.
The build system is CMake,
and an install script is provided.
As an alternative to building WBMsed from source, it can be run through Docker. Pull the latest version of WBMsed from Docker Hub with:
docker pull csdms/wbmsedClone this GitHub repository,
or simply download the Docker Compose file, compose.yaml, from it.
From the directory that contains the Docker Compose file,
start a container:
docker compose run --rm csdms/wbmsedInteractive shell access is provided for WBMsed and its run scripts in /opt/wbmsed.
The local current working directory is mounted to the container at /work,
allowing access to local data.
Additional software (e.g., vim) can be installed into the container with apt.
