Scientific paper: A geostatistical data-assimilation technique for enhancing macro-scale rainfall–runoff simulations

The article A geostatistical data-assimilation technique for enhancing macro-scale rainfall–runoff simulations (open access) has been just published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS).

The short summary reads as:

This research work focuses on the development of an innovative method for enhancing the predictive capability of macro-scale rainfall–runoff models by means of a geostatistical apporach. In our method, one can get enhanced streamflow simulations without any further model calibration. Indeed, this method is neither computational nor data-intensive and is implemented only using observed streamflow data and a GIS vector layer with catchment boundaries. Assessments are performed in the Tyrol region.

This research was performed in the framework of the project Switch-On, coordinated by Swedish Hydrological and Meteorological Institute and financed within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union. Thanks for your interest.
