Distributed Hydrologic Models for Flow Forecasts - Part 2 (1.5-2.0 hr)

(Note: This module may only be taken after completing Part 1.) This module provides a more detailed look at the processes and mechanisms involved in distributed hydrologic models. It examines the rainfall/runoff component, snowmelt, overland flow routing, and channel response in a basin as represented in a distributed model. Calibration issues and situations in which distributed hydrologic models might be most appropriate are also addressed.
