Characterizing and reducing equifinality by constraining a distributed catchment model with regional signatures, local observations, and process understanding

Distributed catchment models are widely used tools for predicting hydrologic behavior. While distributed models require many parameters to describe a system, they are expected to simulate behavior that is more consistent with observed processes. However, obtaining a single set of acceptable paramete...
