A strong atmospheric river made landfall in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on November 14th, 2021, bringing two days of intense precipitation to the region. The resulting floods and landslides led to the loss of at least five lives, cut Vancou

Towards reducing the high cost of parameter sensitivity analysis in hydrologic modelling: a regional parameter sensitivity analysis approach

Autor: Samah Larabi, Juliane Mai, Markus Schnorbus, Bryan Tolson, Francis Zwiers

Land surface models have many parameters that have a spatially variable impact on model outputs. In applying these models, sensitivity analysis (SA) is sometimes performed as an initial step to select calibration parameters. As these models are appli

In British Columbia, and in the Pacific North West America in general, 2021 was a year fraught with extreme weather events. First, in late June 2021 an unprecedented heat wave claimed over 600 lives, followed by in an extreme flood in mid-November th
