Description: 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
