TopoCLIM v1.0 code

Model code and documentation for the downscaling model TopoCLIM which provides methods to downscale climate timeseries from CORDEX RCM data. This scheme specifically addresses the need for hillslope scale atmospheric forcing timeseries for modeling the local impact of regional climate change projections on the land surface in complex terrain. The method has a global scope and is able to generate the full suite of model forcing variables required for hydrological and land surface modeling at hourly timesteps.

A working example is provided in this code archive but for full running of the scheme TopoSCALE is required https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-7-387-2014 with code available at https://github.com/joelfiddes/tscaleV2. Standard library dependencies are given in the python requirements.txt of the archive with installation instructions in the README.md.
