About COSERO

COSERO is a spatially distributed, continuous rainfall-runoff model developed at BOKU University Vienna. It simulates the full water balance at the catchment scale, including snow accumulation and melt, glacier dynamics, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, interception, and streamflow routing.

Designed for both research and practical applications, COSERO is used for hydrological forecasting,

Modelled Processes

  • Precipitation partitioning (rain / snow)
  • Snow accumulation & melt (degree-day)
  • Glacier mass balance
  • Interception
  • Potential ET (Thornthwaite)
  • Soil moisture & actual ET
  • Surface, subsurface & baseflow
  • Routing

CoseRo Package

An R interface for running COSERO, reading outputs, and performing sensitivity analysis.

  • run_cosero()
  • read_cosero_output()
  • launch_cosero_app()
  • run_cosero_ensemble_parallel()
  • load_parameter_bounds()
