Description
The Hydrological Discharge (HD) model
The Hydrological Discharge (HD) model calculates the lateral transport of water over the land surface to simulate discharge into the oceans. It has been validated and applied in many studies since the publication of its original global 0.5° version (Hagemann and Dümenil, 1998; Hagemann and Dümenil Gates, 2001). In 2020, a new version 5.0 has been developed that can be applied globally at a 5 Min. (~8-9 km) resolution. This HD version was applied and validated over Europe by (Hagemann et al., 2020; Hagemann & Stacke, 2022). The HD model has been coupled to several global and regional ESMs (cf. Hagemann et al., 2020). It separates the lateral water flow into the three flow processes of overland flow, baseflow, and riverflow. Overland flow and baseflow represent the fast and slow lateral flow processes within a grid box, while riverflow represents the lateral flow between grid boxes. The HD model requires gridded fields of surface and subsurface runoff as input for overland flow and baseflow, respectively, with a temporal resolution of one day or higher. The present version 5.2.3 comprises several changes that are described in the files history.md that should be previewed below as well as in the file ./scr/docu/history.md. It is consistent with the HD model version that became part of the ICON open source release 2024_10 where the HD model is included as an external component.
Installation
You have have to uncompress the tarfile hdmodel_5_2_3.tgz in your desired code directory and then follow the instructions in ./scr/docu/readme_hd_model.md to modify and run the compile and run scripts in a linux/unix environment. In order to run the HD model, you need to download the HD model parameter files Vs. 5.1 that are published as dataset on Zenodo.This dataset comprises parameter fields at 0.5° global resolution and at 5 Min. resolution (global, Europe).
The script hdpara_cut.ksh cuts out a regional subdomain from the global 5 Min. HD parameter file (see ./docu/readme_hd_model.md - Sect. 3.). Gridboxes that may laterally flow out of the domain at the regional boundaries are
converted into sinks to avoid numerical exceedances of array bounds. An examples is provided for Europe. Further regional domains should be implemented analogously.
Remark for coupling purposes
Note that this HD model distribution should include everything that is necessary to run the
standalone/offline version of the HD model. The HD model is also equipped with coupling capabilities using the couplers YAC or OASIS. Information on coupling issues is provided in the file ./docu/readme_coupling.md

Acknowledgements
We acknowledge contributions of colleagues (see code headers) from the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology (MPI-M) and collaborating institutions who developed various infrastructure routines and who contributed to the implementation of the HD model into the coupled system ECHAM5/MPIOM and its successor MPI-ESM. We especially appreciated the help of Otto Böhringer (MPI-M) who separated the HD code from the fixed association with the MPI-ESM infrastructure. We are also grateful to Veronika Gayler (MPI-M) for her adapatations to Fortran90 and the implementation of various diagnostics.
