The workflows allow data access and processing for a number of public data sources in Canada and the US. Primary data sources are the [NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS)](https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/) [Meteorological Service of Canada Open Data](https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/readme_en/), but also include a variety of snow and meterological re-analysis products, such as ERA5.

SUMMA can be used to configure a wide range of hydrological model alternatives. Different modeling approaches can then be implemented within the structural core, enabling a controlled and systematic analysis of alternative modeling options, and providing insight for future model development. SUMMA allows different model representations of physical processes and spatial configurations to be flexibly implemented and tested.
2323
Creation of SUMMA models is enabled by the well documented [CWARHM](https://github.com/CH-Earth/CWARHM) workflow. This provides all tools necessary to build SUMMA models from scratch.

In NextOpenFEWS, a SUMMA model is implemented for the Bow River basin, using a semi-distributed Hydrological Response Unit approach to better represent the spatial distribution of snow and other variables.

### Raven

27+
[Raven](http://raven.uwaterloo.ca/) is flexible hydrological modelling framework, allowing flexibility in spatial discretization, interpolation, process representation, and forcing function generation. In this repository, a semi-distributed HBV-EC concept model is implemented to demonstrate the model bindings and connections.

### MESH

[MESH](https://research-groups.usask.ca/hydrology/modelling/mesh.php) (short for Modélisation Environnementale communautaire – Surface and Hydrology) is a Canadian community land-surface–hydrology modeling system developed primarily by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). It is designed to simulate both the energy and water budgets over watersheds, regions, or the entire country, and is often used for river forecasting, climate change impact studies, and water resources planning.

### wflow

35+
[wflow](https://deltares.github.io/Wflow.jl/stable/) allows multiple distributed model concepts are available, allowing the use of open earth observation data, making it the hydrological model of choice for data scarce environments. Based on gridded topography, soil, land use and climate data, wflow calculates all hydrological fluxes at any given grid cell in the model at a given time step. Creation of wflow models is enabled by the [HydroMT](https://deltares.github.io/hydromt/latest/) python package. In CanOpenFEWS, a wflow_sbm model is included for the Bow River. The parameterization of this model is automatically derived using HydroMT, by making use of transfer functions that relate open geographic data (soil, land use, land cover, etc.) to a parameter value. The model can be further improved by calibrating its most sensitive parameters.
