Exploring the relationship between hydroclimatic stationarity and rainfall-runoff model parameter stability: A case study in West Africa

Abstract: [1] Forecasting the hydrological impacts of climatic and anthropic changes assumes that the evolution of model parameters under changing conditions can be predicted. Hence it is necessary to study the relationship between hydroclimatic variability and model parameter values. In this paper, we explore this issue by implementing a daily lumped hydrological model (GR4J, Perrin et al. (2003)) on the Upper Oueme watershed (10,050 km2, Benin). West Africa was subjected to changing climatic and hydrological conditions during the second half of the last century, and changes in the water balance can be evidenced on this watershed. Contrasted periods are extracted from the available 1954–2002 data set, so that hydrological and pluviometric extreme periods can be defined. First, the magnitude of changes in model parameter values under changing conditions are analyzed, using a resampling method (first approach) and within an equifinality context (second approach). It is shown that significant changes in the rainfall-runoff relationship do not induce significant changes in the model's parameter values. A third original approach analyzes the signature of hydroclimatic variability in model performance. Hence a test is defined that uses interannual model efficiency variances to measure performance homogeneity and a resampling test to statistically characterize the calculated results. This test demonstrates the hydrological relevance of the calibrated parameter sets because the more stationary the rainfall-runoff relationship, the more homogeneous the model's performance.

Using Multiple Monthly Water Balance Models to Evaluate Gridded Precipitation Products over Peninsular Spain

TL;DR: This study evaluates four widely used global precipitation datasets (GPDs) against point gauge and gridded dataset observations using multiple monthly water balance models (MWBMs) in four different meso-scale basins that cover the main climatic zones of Peninsular Spain.

Natural evaporation from open water, bare soil and grass

TL;DR: It is shown that a satisfactory account can be given of open water evaporation at four widely spaced sites in America and Europe, the results for bare soil receive a reasonable check in India, and application of theresults for turf shows good agreement with estimates of evapolation from catchment areas in the British Isles.

River flow forecasting through conceptual models part II - The Brosna catchment at Ferbane

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt to model the runoff process on the Brosna catchment is described, and different models are compared and it is found possible to account for about 80 per cent of the initial variance of the discharge by very simple models.
