Popis: Distributed ecohydrological model which can simulate hydrological components, vegetation and landsurface temperature using practically available input and observed data with minimum parameters is introduced. This model is designed to properly simulate in area with lack of observed data. Parameter estimation and calibration of the model can be carried out with indirectly estimated data (monthly surface runoff by NRCS-CN method and annual actual vaporization by empirical equation) and remote sensing data (NDVI, LST) instead of observed data. We applied this model in the Naeseong creek basin to evaluate the model validity. Firstly, we found the sensitive parameters which largely influence the simulation results by sensitivity analysis, and then hydrological components, vegetation, land-surface temperature, routed streamflow and water temperature were simulated over 10 years (2001 to 2010) using calibrated parameters. Parameters are estimated by optimization method. It is shown that most of grids are well simulated. In the case of streamflow and water temperature, we checked two observed points in the outlet of watershed and it is shown that streamflow and water temperature are properly simulated as well. Hence, it can be shown that this model properly simulate the hydrological components, vegetation, land-surface temperature, routed streamflow and water temperature as well, even though in despite of using limited input data and minimum parameters.
