Modelling and testing spatially distributed sediment budgets to relate erosion processes to sediment yields

TL;DR: The spatially distributed sediment budget model is described that assesses the primary sources (hillslope soil erosion, gully and riverbank erosion) and sinks (floodplain and reservoir deposition) of fine sediment for each link in a river network and is suitable for guiding the targeting of remediation measures within river basins to reduce downstream sediment yields.

The relationship between data and the precision of parameter estimates of hydrologic models

TL;DR: This analysis provides some interesting insights into the role that the quantity and quality of the data used play in the identification procedure in hydrologic model calibration and the precision of model parameter estimates.

Principles and Confidence in Hydrological Modelling

TL;DR: In this article, general principles in development and application of hydrological models are discussed and related to the confidence in the results, and a few ethical problems in modelling are mentioned, including the use of observations, calibration, control and sensitivity analysis.

Evaluation and Transferability of the Noah Land Surface Model in Semiarid Environments

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Noah land surface model at two semiarid sites in southern Arizona is investigated and a multicriteria, systematic evaluation scheme is developed to evaluate the transferability of calibrated parameters between the sites and to analyze model performance under various climatic conditions that can occur in this region.
