The Centre for Hydrology is the home of the Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling (CRHM) platform. The system was initially devised to provide a framework within which to integrate numerical algorithms derived from the observation of a range of hydrological processes of considerable uncertainty, based solely on the underlying physical interactions which control them, in small- to medium-sized catchments. The public repository site is here.
CRHM has to date been installed by the following organizations;

Processes modelled by the software currently include;
- blowing snow redistribution
- snow and rain interception by forest canopies
- sublimation
- snowmelt in open and forested environments
- infiltration into frozen and unfrozen soils
- soil moisture storage and movement
- water movement along hillslopes (with and without permafrost)
- actual evaporation and evapotranspiration
- radiation exchange on complex surfaces and through vegetation
- wetland dynamics
- variable contributing area
- groundwater flow
- streamflow hydraulics
- gravitational snow transport
- glacier melt
The model also supports the concept of distinct landscape elements (Hydrological Response Units or HRUs), which may be linked episodically in process-specific sequences such as blowing snow, overland flow, organic layer subsurface flow, mineral interflow, groundwater flow, and streamflow.
The software has been implemented as an object-orientated framework within which new representations of specific processes may be incorporated very easily, allowing direct comparison of competing algorithms within the same contexts and forcings. Users are able to select from a wide range of process models, with varying complexities of representation, to build a basin hydrology model suitable for their investigations: the software then links these together in the most logical order.
This also means that the system is not limited to use in the investigation of high-latitude / high-altitude cold regions: by assembling and selecting a suitably relevant set of models, it may be used to investigate the hydrology for a wide variety of landscape / climate combinations.
Note that the software does not provide a means of calibrating these models from streamflow observations; the aim is to encourage reliance on improvements in the numerical representation of the hydrological processes at work to improve predictive performance, rather than to support application of 'fudge factor' parameters in order to force convergence between predicted and observed datasets. This in turn allows the model to be used as a self-testing tool through which to diagnose the adequacy of the hydrological understanding encapsulated within the algorithms employed, thereby reducing uncertainty when the same models are used for predictive applications.
The complete set of CRHM modules has been classified into the following categories;
- Basin: sets HRU physical, soil and vegetation characteristics
- Observation: interpolates meteorological data to the HRU, using adiabatic and precipitation distribution relationships, and saturation vapour pressure calculations. Includes climate change (temperature, humidity, precipitation) feature to permit sensitivity analysis
- Snow Transport: blowing snow transport and sublimation
- Interception: forest canopy and vegetation interception of rainfall, and interception and sublimation of snowfall, including drip and unloading
- Radiation: selection of routines for shortwave direct and diffuse algorithms, slope corrections, snow albedo decay, longwave radiation, canopy transmissivity, and net radiation. Permits assimilation of sunshine hours or incoming shortwave observations, and estimation of radiation terms using meteorological relationships where observations are missing
- Evaporation: including the Granger-Gray, Penman-Monteith, Priestly-Taylor and Shuttleworth-Wallace algorithms and optional soil moisture withdrawal curve and rooting zone control
- Snowmelt: implements Gray’s Energy-Balance Snowmelt Model, Marks’ USDA SNOBAL, Essery’s simple land-surface scheme melt model as well as simple radiation and temperature index techniques
- Infiltration: variety of infiltration routines for frozen soils, including Gray’s prairie method, Zhao & Gray’s parametric method, a frost depth calculation, Ayer’s unfrozen soil infiltration, Green-Ampt infiltration and redistribution
- Soil Moisture Balance: multiple flowpath two-layer model with depressional storage, macropore and groundwater options
- Wetlands: permits open water evaporation and fill and spill or traditional routing from wetland or pond depressional storage
- Flow: mineral and organic layer flow over permafrost based on physically-based model, with timing and storage control of overland, interflow, sub-surface, groundwater and stream flow using options including the lag and route hydrograph method, a Richard’s Equation solution and/or Muskingum routing method
- Gravitational Snow Transport: simulate snow transport by gravity along steep slope, this is topographic driven distribution of snow, more description by Bernhardt and Schulz (2010)
- Glacier Melt: estimate icemelt from glacier ice, firnmelt from firn layers and snowmelt from snowpack above glacier or firn layers based on energy-balance model, and melt fluxes can be estimated using the daily energy inputs or sub-daily energy inputs using katabatic parameterization, and optional debris-cover melt is also included; then movement of icemelt, firnmelt and snowmelt through glacier ice, firn and snowpack are handled by a simple lag and route method, more description by Pradhananga and Pomeroy (2022), Aubry-Wake et al. (2022)
- Freezing and Thawing Fronts Dynamics: simulate the freezing and thawing fronts in seasonal frost or permafrost soil based on a modified Stefan equation, more description by Xie and Gough (2013)
In most of these categories, a choice of process models is available, ranging from basic to strongly physically-based; this permits the most appropriate algorithms to be used for the available data, information reliability, basin characteristics, scale, intended output, and so on. For more details, download The cold regions hydrological modelling platform for hydrological diagnosis and prediction based on process understanding.
CRHM requires files (extension .obs) of high-frequency (preferably hourly) continuous time series of observed air temperature, wind speed, humidity, and precipitation. The R package CRHMr can be used to prepare these time series, including infilling missing values. CRHMr can also be used to post-process and plot CRHM outputs.
There are several other packages that can be used to acquire data for use by CRHM.
MSCr (https://github.com/CentreForHydrology/MSCr) reads data from Meteorological Service of Canada files.
Reanalysis (https://github.com/CentreForHydrology/Reanalysis) creates .obs files from several types of reanalysis files, including ERA, WATCH and NARR.
WISKIr (https://github.com/CentreForHydrology/WISKIr) reads data from a Wiski web server.
