Identification of hydrologic models, optimized parameters, and rainfall inputs consistent with in situ streamflow and rainfall and remotely sensed soil moisture

An increased understanding of the uncertainties present in rainfall time series can lead to improved confidence in both short- and long-term streamflow forecasts. This study presents an analysis that considers errors arising from model input data, …

Application of the patient rule induction method to detect hydrologic model behavioural parameters and quantify uncertainty

Finding an operational parameter vector is always challenging in the application of hydrologic models, with over-parameterization and limited information from observations leading to uncertainty about the best parameter vectors. Thus, it is …

Estimating rainfall time series and model parameter distributions using model data reduction and inversion techniques

Floods are devastating natural hazards. To provide accurate, precise, and timely flood forecasts, there is a need to understand the uncertainties associated within an entire rainfall time series, even when rainfall was not observed. The estimation of …

A comparison of the discrete cosine and wavelet transforms for hydrologic model input data reduction

The treatment of input data uncertainty in hydrologic models is of crucial importance in the analysis, diagnosis and detection of model structural errors. Data reduction techniques decrease the dimensionality of input data, thus allowing modern …
