Hydro Conductor

This repository hosts a set of Python scripts and modules written to couple a hydrologic model with a regional glacier model. It is written for the University of Washington's Variable Infiltration Capacity hydrologic model and UBC's Regional Glacier Model.

The "conductor" executes each model as a subprocess while translating inputs and outputs from each model to match the scale and requirements of the other.
