Monthly Water Balance Model Hydrology Futures
October 2, 2018
The monthly water balance model (MWBM) was driven with precipitation and temperature for current and future conditions using the GMO/GSD dataset (Maurer, E.P., A.W. Wood, J.C. Adam, D.P. Lettenmaier, and B. Nijssen, 2002. A Long-Term Hydrologically-Based Data Set of Land Surface Fluxes and States for the Conterminous United States, Journal of Climatology 15) and selected general circulation models (GCMs) from the monthly time-step bias-corrected spatially disaggregated (BCSD) projections, based on the World Climate Research Programme's (WCRP's) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) multi-model dataset, and the Coupled Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) multi-model ensemble (Reclamation, 2013, Downscaled CMIP3 and CMIP5 Climate and Hydrology Projections: Release of Downscaled CMIP5 Climate Projections, Comparison with preceding Information, and Summary of User Needs', prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Technical Services Center, Denver, Colorado. 47pp.). Five different outputs (actual evapotranspiration (AET), potential evapotranspiration (PET), runoff/streamflow (RO/STRM), soil moisture storage (SOIL), and snow water equivalent (SWE)) and two model inputs (atmospheric temperature (TAVE), precipitation (PPT)) were summarized for each hydrologic response unit and stream segment/point of interest of the Geospatial Fabric for National Hydrologic Modeling (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/535eda80e4b08e65d60fc834).

Evaluation of downscaled General Circulation Model (GCM) output for current conditions and associated error in simulated runoff for CONUS
This project will assess the accuracy of climate drivers (precipitation and temperature) from different sources for current and future conditions. The impact of these drivers on hydrologic response will be using the monthly water balance model (MWBM). The methodology for processing and analysis of these datasets will be automated for when new climate datasets become available on the USGS...
Parameter regionalization of a monthly water balance model for the conterminous United States
A parameter regionalization scheme to transfer parameter values from gaged to ungaged areas for a monthly water balance model (MWBM) was developed and tested for the conterminous United States (CONUS). The Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test, a global-sensitivity algorithm, was implemented on a MWBM to generate parameter sensitivities on a set of 109 951 hydrologic response units (HRUs)...
