Abstract

In this paper we present a comprehensive framework developed by the Northwest River Forecast Center (NWRFC) for calibration of arbitrary hydrologic basins. The framework includes hydrology, snow, routing, channel loss, and consumptive use models. Data inputs include a wide range of open access datasets for land use, land cover, and meteorology. The framework can handle basins with diverse hydrologic conditions, including permanently glaciated regions. We also develop a flexible automatic calibration system which can handle numerous unobservable model parameters in a computationally efficient manner such that calibrations can be run on a moder...  more
