This release introduces significant updates to enhance functionality and usability.
Updates:
1. Bathymetry Parameter:
- Added bathymetry parameters in the reservoir parameter file.
- Improved representation of reservoir bathymetry using detailed hypsometric curves that relate area, storage, and elevation.
2. Step-By-Step Option:
- Introduced the ability to run the model in step-by-step mode, which enables coupling VIC-Res with external models (e.g., sediment transport or power system models). The model can run one step at a time, exchange outputs (e.g., hydropower or streamflow) with external models, and then progress to the next time step while maintaining state information.
