| Abstract | The paper basically investigates a model-data comparison with three quantifiers from Information Theory in addition to the conventional Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency: MIG, EMC and FC. The time series have a length of exactly 11 years (why?) and are from the period 1960-1970 (why? Could you not find any more recent measurements?), at daily resolution, which means around 4000 data points per time series. The observations (streamflow) from five different watersheds are compared to 8 different hydrologic models. The latter are not characterized to any detail, there is only a Table with a rather short characterization of each of these models (they do not have names?). What is worse, the calibration process is not even mentioned. Nobody can judge whether there has been an automatic parameter optimization performed, whether the full parameter space has been exploited, what was the objective function (presumably NSE, or RMS, or something else?). Whether the statement “more com- |
