SAMS is a computer software package that deals with the stochastic
analysis, modeling, and simulation of hydrologic time series such as annual and
monthly streamflows. It has been developed as a cooperative effort between Colorado
State University and the US Bureau of Reclamation in Denver,
Colorado.
SAMS has been written in C++ and Fortran and runs under modern windows
operating systems such as WINDOWS 2000, WINDOWS NT, and WINDOWS XP. The package
consists of many menu windows that enables the user to choose among various
options that are currently available. SAMS has the capability of analyzing,
modeling and generating single site and multisite annual and seasonal data and
the results of the analysis are presented in graphical or tabular forms or are
written on output files.
The current version of SAMS, denoted as SAMS-2007, may be applicable for
annual and seasonal data such as quarterly and monthly data. SAMS allows for
three basic options: 1) Statistical Analysis of Data, 2) Fitting a Stochastic
Model (includes parameter estimation and testing), and 3) Generating Synthetic
series. Further details about SAMS may be obtained from Overview and SAMS
Description as shown below.
