Efficacy of a hydrologic model in simulating discharge from a large mountainous catchment

Three sets of climatic input data from weather station observations and reanalysis products were compared for use in the simulation of streamflow for a large mountainous basin in subarctic Canada. These data sets are statistically different or show biases for most months. Yet, when they were used in conjunction with specific suites of parameters optimized for individual data sets, the hydrological model (SLURP) was able to simulate flows from …
