Development of an open-source software package for watershed modeling with the Hydrological Simulation Program in Fortran
Developed an operating system-independent interface to the subroutines for the Hydrological Simulation Program in Fortran (HSPF) in the Python Programming Language. Developed an open-source suite of software tools for gathering data and building input files for HSPF using Python scripting. Demonstrated the application of the software tools for automatically building a baseline HSPF model using publically-available data on the World Wide Web. Demonstrated automatic calibration using a parallel processing routine that performed favorably compared to existing software.
