Simultaneous Calibration of Hydrologic Model Structure and Parameters Using a Blended Model

Abstract: Hydrologic models have been used for numerous applications in the last number of decades. These applications include streamflow prediction, flood forecasting, or reservoir level forecasting, or in a scientific capacity to advance our understanding of hydrologic systems. Whether used in a predictive or scientific capacity, models are an abstraction of the complex natural system being simulated, and necessarily simplify the treatment of hydrological processes occurring in a watershed, either to facilitate comput… Show more

“…Raven is a robust and highly generalized object‐oriented flexible modeling framework platform. It supports flexible customization in terms of a wide range of model structures, watershed discretization, process representations, forcing function estimation and interpolation methods and other numerical algorithms, which provides a standardized modeling platform and allows various types of hydrological modeling investigations, such as model structure sensitivity/uncertainty analysis (Chlumsky et al., 2021; Mai et al., 2022) and model inter‐comparison (Mai et al., 2021). Raven conveniently unifies the format for both models' input and output files.…”

“…In the proposed SST experiment, GR4J and HMETS are both calibrated in each of the 463 CAMELS catchments over the 50 CSPs introduced in Section 2.1. The dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) algorithm (Tolson & Shoemaker, 2007), which has been widely applied in hydrological model calibration studies (Chlumsky et al., 2021; Dembélé et al., 2020; Lahmers et al., 2019; Sharma et al., 2019; Spieler et al., 2020), is used to automatically calibrate model parameters. We utilize DDS as implemented in the optimization and calibration software toolkit OSTRICH (Matott, 2017).…”

“…Calibration approach 1 uses the deterministic forcing as model input and calibrates the hydrologic model by minimizing RMSE using the dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) global optimization algorithm (Tolson & Shoemaker, 2007). DDS is widely used in hydrology and operates on a pre‐specified computational budget (Arsenault et al, 2014; Bárdossy & Singh, 2008; Chlumsky et al, 2021; Kumar et al, 2013; White et al, 2011; Yen et al, 2015). The computational budget here is measured by the maximum allowable model evaluations and is set to 500.…”
