Decomposition of the mean squared error and NSE performance criteria: Implications for improving hydrological modelling
5.2K
TL;DR: A diagnostically interesting decomposition of NSE is presented, which facilitates analysis of the relative importance of its different components in the context of hydrological modelling, and it is shown how model calibration problems can arise due to interactions among these components.

Bias correcting precipitation forecasts to improve the skill of seasonal streamflow forecasts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the skill of seasonal precipitation and streamflow forecasts in 16 catchments in France to provide insights into the way bias correcting precipitation forecasts can improve forecast skill at extended lead times.
Rainfall–runoff prediction at multiple timescales with a single Long Short-Term Memory network
Martin Gauch,Martin Gauch,Frederik Kratzert,Daniel Klotz,Grey Nearing,Grey Nearing,Jimmy Lin,Sepp Hochreiter +7 more
TL;DR: This study proposes two Multi-Timescale LSTM (MTS-LSTM) architectures that jointly predict multiple timescales within one model, as they process long-past inputs at a single temporal resolution and branch out into each individual timescale for more recent input steps.

TL;DR: In this article, the mesoscale hydrologic model (mHM) parameterized with the multiscale regionalization technique is comprehensively tested across 400 European river basins.
On the choice of calibration metrics for “high-flow” estimation using hydrologic models
Naoki Mizukami,Oldrich Rakovec,Oldrich Rakovec,Andrew J. Newman,Martyn P. Clark,Martyn P. Clark,Andrew W. Wood,Hoshin V. Gupta,Rohini Kumar +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the performance of three performance metrics: Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), KGE, and APFB, and conclude that NSE-based model calibrations actually result in poor production of high-flow events, such as the annual peak flows used for flood frequency estimation.

TL;DR: The GLUE procedure works with multiple sets of parameter values and allows that, within the limitations of a given model structure and errors in boundary conditions and field observations, different sets of values may be equally likely as simulators of a catchment.
