Calibration at Finer Time and Space Scales
LMRFC March, 2009
Hydrologic Modeling Challenges• We cannot directly apply physical laws to some
components of the hydrologic cycle because boundary conditions and system properties are unknown at all locations, e.g.– Exact soil depth or plant rooting depth is unknown – Soil matrix hydraulic properties are unknown (e.g. hydraulic
conductivity)– Underground flow paths are unknown
• Errors and uncertainty in data an models• Model and data errors tend to increase at higher
resolutions• Modeling ungauged locations
– Difficult to verify models– Difficult to determining warning thresholds

Calibration with NEXRADat smaller spatial and temporal scales
Anytime a model is calibrated at one spatial and temporal scale it should be recalibrated if the
time/space scale changes

Data errors (noise) may mask the benefits of fine scale modeling. In some cases, they may make the results worse thanlumped simulations.

Distributed Model Implementation
• Use with, not instead of, lumped model at same time step
• Part of natural progression to finer scalesLumped 6-hr Lumped 1-hour Distributed 1-hour
• Calibration is good training process for forecasting
• Current:– DHM: operation in NWS for headwaters, locals– HL-RDHM: Large area, soil moisture, FFG, etc
• Feedback to OHD
