6. One paragraph description of your model (e.g. abstract from report or
   paper);

RGM is a physically-based, spatially distributed model for simulating
meltwater flow through snowpacks. It uses a finite difference scheme
for computing the energy balance conditions of the snowpack, as well
as for the routing of the produced excess meltwater downslope. Time
steps can be selected by the user (typically 1 hour). The model uses a
recursive approach to split the time interval into two parts, if the non-
linearity of the processes are too strong. This enables to regard short-
term processes as well as such ones acting on the regular time scale.
