Catchment low pass filter characteristics, legacy contamination and their link to variability in biogeochemical 1/fa scaling

Why bother to calibrate? Model consistency and the value of prior information

Hydrological hysteresis in catchments and its value for assessing process consistency in conceptual models

While most hydrological models reproduce the general flow dynamics, they frequently fail to adequately mimic system-internal processes. In particular, the relationship between storage and discharge, which often follows annual hysteretic patterns in shallow hard-rock aquifers, is rarely considered in modelling studies. One main reason is that...

Process consistency in models: The importance of system signatures, expert knowledge, and process complexity

Hydrological models frequently suffer from limited predictive power despite adequate calibration performances. This can indicate insufficient representations of the underlying processes. Thus, ways are sought to increase model consistency while satisfying the contrasting priorities of increased model complexity and limited equifinality. In this...
