Hybrid models for hydrological forecasting

Abstract

This book presents the investigation of different architectures of integrating hydrological knowledge and models with data-driven models for the purpose of hydrological flow forecasting. The models resulting from such integration are referred to as hybrid models. The book addresses the following topics: A classification of different hybrid modelling approaches in the context of flow forecasting. The methodological development and application of modular models based on clustering and baseflow empirical formulations. The integration of hydrological conceptual models with neural network error corrector models and the use of committee models for daily streamflow forecasting. The application of modular modelling and fuzzy committee models to the problem of downscaling weather information for hydrological forecasting.
