Clarence-Moreton AWRA-L calibration results

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset provides the calibration metrics that describe the results of the AWRA-L model calibration process for the RIchmond river basin. This compares the model predictions with the measured stream flow at 9 stream flow gauging stations in the area. Summary of the "normal" and "low flow" AWRA-L model calibration metrics undertaken in the Richmond river basin (4 May 2015).

Purpose

To provide calibration summary of model efficiency etc. for the AWRA-L model in the Richmond river basin.

Dataset History

Started with the time series of AWRA-L model predictions for 2 calibrations (1: normal, 2: low flow) at 9 stream flow gauging stations.

Compared these predictions to the measured stream flow at the same 9 stream flow gauging stations.

These comparisons are expressed through 3 metrics that compare the daily predictions with the observed data for both calibrations at each of the 9 stream flow gauging stations.

1) F value

2) daily flow efficiency

3) Bias

Details of the metrics themselves are in CLM 2.6.1: Table 4
