The goal of the HydroFrame project is to provide a community framework for sophisticated high resolution hydrologic simulation across the entire continental US. To accomplish this we are building an integrated software framework for continental scale hydrologic simulation and data analysis built with multi-scale configurable components. The multi-scale requirements of this domain drive the design of the proposed framework. A configurable workflow framework comprising high-performance portable model components and a collection of new analysis and data sharing components will provide a variety of users in the Earth system community with the data and tools required for their research goals.
