KYERMO—A Physically Based Research Erosion Model Part I. Model Development
ABSTRACT AN event-based erosion-model, known as KYERMO, was developed as a research tool to isolate important sub-processes within the overall erosion process. The model was developed using physically-based relation-ships to allow its use for evaluating simpler procedures for erosion estimation. Model development is described in this paper, with the results of sensitivity analyses and testing to be described in a subsequent paper.
