Submodels

The WEPS 'science' model refers to the computer code and executable program that performs the actual calculations of field conditions and erosion processes for a simulation run. The "WEPS Technical Description" provides a more detailed description of the science behind WEPS and is available from WERU. The current WEPS science model is coded in FORTRAN conforming to the ANSI FORTRAN 77 and Fortran 95 standard. The science model consists of the main program and the submodels listed below.
  • Weather
  • Hydrology
  • Management
  • Crop
  • Decomposition
  • Soil
  • Erosion
