Gerrits, A.M.J. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Veling, E.J.M. (author), Pfister, L. (author)The Budyko curve is often used to estimate the actual evaporation as a function of the aridity index in a catchment. Different empirical equations exist to describe this relationship; however, these equations have very limited physical background. The model concept presented in this paper is physically based and uses only measurable parameters....journal article 2009

Coenders, A.M.J. (author), Hopp, L. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Pfister, L. (author)Improving the understanding of the controls on subsurface stormflow generation has been the goal of numerous experimental and modeling studies. However, the effect of the spatial variability of throughfall on soil moisture patterns and subsurface stormflow (SSF) generation has not yet been studied in detail. The objectives of this study are...journal article 2013

Krier, R. (author), Matgen, P. (author), Goergen, K. (author), Pfister, L. (author), Hoffmann, L. (author), Kirchner, J.W. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)The complexity of hydrological systems and the necessary simplification of models describing these systems remain major challenges in hydrological modeling. Kirchner's (2009) approach of inferring rainfall and evaporation from discharge fluctuations by “doing hydrology backward” is based on the assumption that catchment behavior can be...journal article 2012

Fenicia, F. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Matgen, P. (author), Pfister, L. (author)Lack of data is one of the main limitations for hydrological modeling. However, it is often used as a justification for over simplifying, poorly performing models. If we want to enhance our understanding of hydrological systems, it is important to fully exploit the information contained in the available data, and to learn from model deficiencies...journal article 2008

Fenicia, F. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Matgen, P. (author), Pfister, L. (author)Although catchment behaviour during recession periods is better identifiable than in other periods, the representation of hydrograph recession is often weak in hydrological simulations. Among the various aspects that influence model performance during low flows, in this paper we concentrate on those more inherently related to the modelling, such...journal article 2006

Fenicia, F. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Matgen, P. (author), Pfister, L. (author)A conceptual hydrological model structure contains several parameters that have to be estimated through matching observed and modeled watershed behavior in a calibration process. The requirement that a model simulation matches different aspects of system response at the same time has led the calibration problem toward a multiobjective approach....journal article 2007
