Welcome to HydroBM’s documentation!

HydroBM is a shorthand for “Hydrologic Timeseries Benchmarks”. HydroBM is a Python package that provides a simple framework to create benchmark timeseries for hydrologic models. Details about this benchmarking approach can be found in Knoben (2024).

Extra features:

  • Calculate various performance metrics for the benchmark simulations.

  • Run a simple degree-day model for snow accumulation and melt simulation.
