FINAM v1.1

FINAM is an open-source component-based model coupling framework for environmental models.
It aims at enabling bi-directional online couplings of models for different compartments like geo-, hydro-, pedo- and biosphere.

The framework is built in Python, with well-defined interfaces for data exchange.
This approach allows for coupling of models irrespective of their internal structure, architecture or programming language.
