  1. Hydrology Calibration Phase 5

  2. Calibrators • USGS-MD • Jeff Raffensperger • Sarah Martucci • Joe Vrabel • Angelica Gutierrez • Gary Fisher

  3. Calibrators • USGS-VA • Doug Moyer • Alan Simpson • Jen Krstolic • ICPRB • Ross Mandel • Julie Kiang

  4. Calibrators • CBP • Sara Brandt • Jing Wu • Kate Hopkins • Lewis Linker • Gary Shenk

  5. Status from April • Reaching point of diminishing returns with hand calibration • Better and more consistent overall than phase4 • Consistent with other HSPF calibrations in the literature • Still a few small areas and issues that need attention in hydrology

  6. Success with Hand Calibration • Generally better calibration than previous model • Discovered sensitive parameters • Discovered appropriate measures of performance

  7. But . . . Individually Calibrated Parameters

  8. But . . . Surface Runoff in inches/year

  9. Individual basin AGWETP calibration But . . .

  10. But . . . • Some land segments were not calibrated since they supply no monitored river • Ratios of parameters between land uses not preserved • Other established rules not followed

  11. The good news: Calibration Measure HSPF Parameter Overall Bias Winter / Summer Balance Baseflow / Stormflow Balance Quickflow Recession Index Baseflow Recession Index Peak Bias land evap LZSN INFILT IRC AGWR INTFW

  12. Iterative Calibration • Started with manual calibration • Enforced land use ratios • Enforced min and max • Used knowledge and statistics developed during the manual calibration • Assumed sensitivities linking parameters to statistics

  13. Sensitivities Bias - land evap - LE = 2/(2-Bias) Wstat/Stat - LZSN - LZSN = (3-S/W)/2 Bstat - INFILT - INFILT = 1/Bstat QaveRI - IRC - IRC = 2/(1+QaveRI) BaveRI - AGWR - AGWR = 2/(1+BaveRI) Pbias/Vpbias - INTFW - INTFW = 1 + PorV/2

  14. The Ratio Rules Crop SURO between 1 and 6

  15. Link Land to River Basis: Percent of basin made up of each county County A is: 100% of station 1 50% of station 2 The ‘importance’ ratio is 2:1, so county A uses 2/3 of the station1 parameters and 1/3 station2 parameters Ignored ‘importances’ less that 10% Assigned ‘orphan’ counties to ‘siblings’ County A 50k acres Station 1 County B 50k acres Station 2

  16. 10% assumption

  17. Baseflow / Stormflow Stat Fraction of flow that is baseflow (simulated) Bstat = 1 - Fraction of flow that is baseflow (observed) baseflow / total flow (simulated) Bstat = 1 - baseflow / total flow (observed) stormflow / total flow (simulated) Qstat = 1 - stormflow / total flow (observed)

  18. Baseflow / Stormflow Recession Statistic average Simulated recession index Q rec Index = 1 - average Observed recession index quick flow tomorrow ) Average Recession index = Average ( quick flow today

  19. Nash – Sutcliffe Model efficiency (variance of errors) (variance of observed) Computed for daily, log of daily, and monthly values. 1 -

  20. Reported values of N-S efficiency • Often reported, but little information on ‘standards’ of efficiency • Reported daily efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported daily log efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported Monthly efficiencies  0.7 – 0.8

  21. Reported values of N-S efficiency • Often reported, but little information on ‘standards’ of efficiency • Reported daily efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported daily log efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported Monthly efficiencies  0.7 – 0.8

  22. Reported values of N-S efficiency • Often reported, but little information on ‘standards’ of efficiency • Reported daily efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported daily log efficiencies  0.5 - 0.75 • Reported Monthly efficiencies  0.7 – 0.8

  24. Results • Used the knowledge gained during the individual calibration stage • Sensitive parameters • Important statistics • Improved the calibration by applying the knowledge in a systematic way • More consistent parameterization • Better statistical calibration

  25. Remaining Questions • How robust is this calibration • Sensitive to starting point? • Sensitive to rules of assigning land segments to calibration stations? • Sensitive to rules governing parameters to adjust?
