The [mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM)](https://mhm-ufz.org/) developed by the Dept. Computational Hydrosystems at UFZ is a spatially explicit distributed hydrologic model that uses grid cells as a primary hydrologic unit, and accounts for the following processes: canopy interception, snow accumulation and melting, soil moisture dynamics, infiltration and surface runoff, evapotranspiration, subsurface storage and discharge generation, deep percolation and baseflow and discharge attenuation and flood routing.
The [mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM)](https://mhm-ufz.org/) developed by the Dept. Computational Hydrosystems at UFZ is a spatially explicit distributed hydrologic model.
It is implemented in the Fortran programming language and can be easily installed as software using the conda package manager.
Detailed installation guide can be found [here](https://mhm-ufz.org/guides/).
The model concept uses grid cells as a primary hydrologic unit, and accounts for the following processes: canopy interception, snow accumulation and melting, soil moisture dynamics, infiltration and surface runoff, evapotranspiration, subsurface storage and discharge generation, deep percolation and baseflow and discharge attenuation and flood routing.
