Multi-criteria evaluation for parameter uncertainty assessment and ensemble runoff forecasting in a snow-dominated basin

Abstract

The increase in global temperatures undesirably affects the ever-growing world population and reveals the significance of hydrology science. Hydrological models might estimate spatial and temporal variability in hydrological components at the basin scale, which is critical for efficient water resource management. Satellite data sets with enhanced snow mapping with high spatial and temporal resolutions have been developed. The potential of these satellite data sets is evaluated in this study for multi-criteria evaluation of a conceptual hydrological model to improve model performance and reduce uncertainty.
