| Abstract | Abstract: The accuracy of a spatially distributed hydrological response units based model is evaluated on the basis of experiments at different spatial scales. The model provides valuable indications on the hydrological proc-esses at all considered scales, particularly in its typical application for catchments with areas ranging between 10 and 300 km2. The validation of soil moisture and evapotranspiration simulations at plot-scale was gave results in good agreement with the observations. The model is also able to capture the water regimes of several catchments and has proven to be a complete tool for hydrological studies in the Alpine area. The experiments at large scales and the one way coupling with atmospheric models are encouraging but much improvement is still needed. There are large uncertainties caused by the interpolation (downscaling inclusive) of the meteorological data and by the parameterization of the physiographic characteristics. |
