Model Validation

Perspectives in Hydrological Science
Herausgegeben:Anderson, Malcolm G.; Bates, Paul D.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Erstmals kritisch untersucht werden in diesem Band die Anforderungen an die Validierung hydrologischer Modelle verschiedener Maßstäbe und deren Fähigkeiten. In jedem Kapitel wird die Kalibrierung, die Datenaufnahme, die Skalierung und die Bewertung der Ergebnisse eines speziellen Modells ausführlich dargestellt. Internationale Spezialisten stellen jeweils am Ende der Kapitel kontroverse Aspekte zur Diskussion. Validation is a central issue to future model design in environmental science. This book is the first to provide a critical appraisal of today s validation needs, capabilities, and required changes in philosophy. It takes examples from four different scales: hillslope and river channel, catchment, regional, and global.
