Using large-scale hydrologic modeling to review runoff generation processes in GCM climate models
2000
L. Phil Graham | Daniela Jacob
A large-scale application of the Swedish HBV hydrologic model was used to model the daily water balance of total runoff to the Baltic Sea. Ten-year present atmospheric climate model simulations from th. ECHAM4/T106 global climate model were summarized on a runoff catchment basis. Climate model daily temperature and precipitation for the Baltic region were input to the water balance model for intercomparison runs. Comparison of results from the water balance model - with climate model input - to direct results from the climate model provides critical review of the behavior of the climate model. This helped pinpoint systematic compensating errors in the land parameterization scheme.
