The bahm model is a tool to analyze the potential impacts of hydrological changes in land development projects and to grade structural solutions to mitigate the increased stormwater runoff in these projects. The software was developed in three counties in the San Francisco Bay Area: Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara.

High resolution land data assimilation system (hrldas) is an off-line driving force of land surface model existing in weather research and prediction (WRF) model. Hrldas uses a combination of observational and analytical measurements (precipitation, solar and longwave radiation, and surface wind, humidity, and temperature) to drive land surface models to simulate the evolution of land surface conditions (e.g., soil moisture and temperature, snow, etc.). The system has been developed and can run on the WRF domain or multiple site locations.
