version: 0.2.7

abstract: 'The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale hydrologic
  model that solves full water and energy balances, originally developed by Xu Liang
  at the University of Washington (UW). The version of VIC source code used is of
  5.0.1 on <https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/>, see Hamman et al. (2018). Development
  and maintenance of the current official version of the VIC model at present is led
  by the UW Hydro (Computational Hydrology group) in the Department of Civil and Environmental
  Engineering at UW. VIC is a research model and in its various forms it has been
  applied to most of the major river basins around the world, as well as globally
