Despite the increasing use of regional climate model (RCM) simulations in hydrological
climate-change impact studies, their application is challenging due to the risk of considerable …

Runoff estimation in ungauged catchments is probably one of the most basic and oldest tasks
of hydrologists. This long-standing issue has received increased attention recently due to …

The topographic wetness index (TWI, ln(a/tanβ)), which combines local upslope contributing
area and slope, is commonly used to quantify topographic control on hydrological processes…

The dialog between experimentalist and modeler in catchment hydrology has been minimal
to date. The experimentalist often has a highly detailed yet highly qualitative understanding …

Calibration of a model against more than one output variable is important for reliable simulations
of internal processes. In this study, a genetic algorithm combined with local optimisation …

Computer models, especially conceptual models, are frequently used for catchment hydrology
studies. Teaching hydrological modeling, however, is challenging, since students have to …

The HBV model, a conceptual rainfall-runoff model, was applied to 11 catchments within the
NOPEX area. The catchment areas ranged from 7 to 950km 2 with between 41 and 87% …

Gridded digital elevation data, often referred to as DEMs, are one of the most widely available
forms of environmental data. Topographic analysis of DEMs can take many forms, but in …

This article reviews recent applications of regional climate model (RCM) output for hydrological
impact studies. Traditionally, simulations of global climate models (GCMs) have been the …

In hydrological climate-change impact studies, regional climate models (RCMs) are commonly
used to transfer large-scale global climate model (GCM) data to smaller scales and to …
