โฆ Synopsis
The minimum set of assumptions underlying TOPMODEL are explored, together with conditions under which they can or cannot be relaxed. It is concluded that it may be necessary to move towards spatially explicit solutions of the governing equations if the underlying qยฑD relationships are to be modiยฎed.
The simplicity of TOPMODEL invites its use as a submodel within a range of geomorphological and ecological models that are driven by hydrology. Some example applications are outlined for both soil erosion and solution.
