H23E:
Intercomparison Studies of Hydrological Models: Beyond Comparing Streamflows, Snow Water Equivalent, and Evapotranspiration Posters


Session ID#: 8414

Session Description:
In water resource engineering, the spatiotemporal resolution and physics behind hydrologic models used in climate / land cover change assessments can have a significant impact on the outcomes. To compare models, there exists, on one end, a few theoretical problems and, on the other, there is a wide range of monitored rivers.  While theoretical problems have analytical / numerical solutions, routinely forecast river systems provide basic hydrometeorological data which have been used in intercomparison studies (e.g., Distributed Model Intercomparison Project). Meanwhile, there are experimental watersheds (e.g., Critical Zone Observatory) that can provide at various scales hydrologic variables such as streamflows, snow water equivalent, evapotranspiration, etc.  Abstracts are solicited on comprehensive intercomparison studies of hydrologic models using benchmarks including theoretical problems as well as point- and watershed-scale data.  Special focus will be on studies that have developed a robust methodology at the watershed scale using distributed simulation and observed data sets.
