Auto-Calibration of Hydrological Models Using High Performance Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrological models have been increasing in complexity over the years. These models rely on their calibration to simulate real world conditions as close as possible. Calibration is a tedious and time-consuming process. An auto-calibration algorithm (SCE-UA) developed by Duan et al. [1992], has been successfully used in hydrological modeling area. This is a serial algorithm and as complexity of the models to be calibrated increases the computational cost, also significantly increases. In this study, a parallel version of the algorithm developed is used for testing of two simple hydrological models. The results show that parallel version of the algorithm can be successfully used to calibrate complex hydrological models.

متن کاملPerformance evaluation of groundwater model hydrostratigraphy from airborne electromagnetic data and lithological borehole logs
Large-scale hydrological models are important decision support tools in water resources management. The largest source of uncertainty in such models is the hydrostratigraphic model. Geometry and configuration of hydrogeological units are often poorly determined from hydrogeological data alone. Due to sparse sampling in space, lithological borehole logs may overlook structures that are important...
