1 What is theairGRteaching package?

1.1 Presentation

is anadd-on package to theairGR package. It simplifiesits use and is more specifically oriented towards teaching thanairGR. It provides access tothe GR rainfall-runoff models (GR4H, GR5H, GR4J, GR5J, GR6J, GR2M, GR1A)and a snow melt and accumulation model (CemaNeige) with limitedprogramming skills. This package also provides a graphical interface tohelp students exploring data and model results.

Thepackage has been designed to fulfil a major requirement: facilitatingthe use of theairGRfunctionalities by students. The names of the functions and theirarguments were chosen to this end.

1.2 Main features ofairGRteaching

The package is mostly based on three new families of functions:

• the functions that allow to complete very simply a hydrologicalmodelling exercise
• plotting functions to help students to explore observed data and tointerpret the results of calibration and simulation of the GRmodels
• a function which runs a ‘Shiny’ graphical interface that allows fordisplaying in real-time model parameters impacts on hydrographs
