The Impact of Vegetation on the Partitioning of Evaporation in Conceptual Hydrological Models

Many conceptual hydrological models do not include any information on plant phenology, which represents the dynamic behavior of vegetation, to partition evaporation in a catchment. Such models often use potential evaporation to quantify evaporation from the interception reservoir and what remains afterward to quantify transpiration, or the other...

The challenge of parameter uncertainty: Finding parameter distributions from hydrological field data for conceptual rainfall-runoff models

Conceptual hydrological model parameters represent characteristics of a catchment. They are an integration of spatial heterogeneous parts of the system. Finding adequate parameter values based on field observations, which represents the heterogeneity of a catchment on the spatial resolution and scale of the model, is considered challenging since...
