Inter‐comparison of high‐resolution gridded climate data sets and their implication on hydrological model simulation over the Athabasca Watershed, Canada

Abstract Several different gridded climate data sets have recently been made available with the purpose of providing a consistent set of climatic data for many hydro‐climatic studies. Recent advances in land‐surface schemes and their implementation in fully distributed processes‐based hydrologic models have demanded even higher‐resolution gridded data. It remains, however, a challenge to identify the most reliable gridded climate data for …
