| Abstract |
We applied a linear multiple regression model between independent variables (catchment attributes) and dependent variables (model parameters) with and without incorporating uncertainty. This allowed us to see the difference before and after accounting for input uncertainty. In a first step, we performed the regression with three different approaches to obtain a well-performing regression model. Approach 1 incorporates catchments which managed to score a Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) greater or equal to 0.5 for regionalization (160 catchments). Approach 2 uses catchments that showed an NSE value greater or equal to 0.65 (104 catchments) and finally approach 3 contains catchments with NSE above 0.7 (67 catchments). We used 75 independent common catchments for all the three approaches for cross-validation. It was observed that approach 2 and 3 performed almost the same, while approach 1 performs better than the other approaches. This is important, because we noted that adding catchments which are classified as “Satisfactory (0.65In the next phase, we incorporated input uncertainty in the model parameter optimization strategy. We selected independent rainfall events and then, we applied rainfall multipliers (additional parameters) to correct those rainfall events. Due to this, the posterior distribution of the optimized model parameters changes. The median rainfall multiplier values were around 1 for most catchments. Then using the newly generated parameter sets, the linear multiple regression has been conducted and the result during cross-validation shows a clear improvement of the NSE values. Among the 75 validation catchments, 40 and 37 of them managed to show improvements during the calibration and validation periods, respectively. This proves the vital use of accounting input uncertainty in linear multiple regression. |
