  • New hydrology domain (ROADMAP item 4): the catchment water balance and
    runoff coefficient, Darcy flow and hydraulic head, Dupuit's unconfined
    aquifer, the Theis well function and drawdown, the Cooper-Jacob
    approximation and transmissivity, Gardner's conductivity and steady Richards
    profiles, Green-Ampt and Horton infiltration, Chézy and Manning channel flow,
    Nash and Sherman unit hydrographs, Muskingum routing, Dalton, Penman and
    Penman-Monteith evaporation with the aerodynamic and surface resistances,
    Horton's stream laws and TOPMODEL's index, deficit and baseflow: 38
    algebraic models and the dynamic simulate_infiltration (Green-Ampt under
    steady rain). Its history is a dated chronology of 17 breakthroughs, from
    Perrault's catchment water balance (1674) to TOPMODEL (1979), each with its
    own executed example.
  • New constants LATENT_HEAT_VAPORIZATION and VON_KARMAN.
  • New glaciology domain (ROADMAP item 5): Forbes's viscous slab, Glen's
    flow law with its rate factor, effective viscosity and laminar velocity
    profile, Nye's plastic ice sheet and dry and water-filled crevasse depths,
    Weertman sliding, the driving stress, the shallow-ice flux and diffusivity
    with Vialov's steady profile, linear mass balance, the accumulation-area
    ratio, equilibrium-line shift and response time, Stefan sea-ice growth and
    freeboard, glacial isostasy and Haskell's viscous rebound, Dansgaard's
    isotope thermometer, the Nye and Dansgaard-Johnsen time scales, the gas-age
    difference, flotation thickness, ice-shelf spreading and Schoof's
    grounding-line flux: 37 algebraic models and the dynamic
    simulate_flowline_glacier (a shallow-ice flowline under a linear mass
    balance, by the method of lines). Its history is a dated chronology of 16
    breakthroughs, from Agassiz's ice age (1840) to Schoof's grounding-line flux
    (2007), each with its own executed example.
  • New constants ICE_DENSITY and LATENT_HEAT_FUSION.
  • The docs landing figure shows one panel per domain, all nine, and is
    regenerated by docs/make_readme_figure.py.
