DK model 2019 – Calibration statistics

DK model 2019 – Calibration statistics comprises spatial and statistical results from the calibration and evaluation of GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset documents model performance for groundwater heads and stream discharge, including statistical measures such as RMSE and mean error for groundwater heads as well as WBE, summer WBE and KGE for streamflow simulations. The calibration was carried out using dynamic model runs and inverse parameter estimation with PEST based on observed groundwater heads and daily discharge data for the period 2000–2010. The dataset is intended for assessing the suitability of DK model 2019 for regional analyses, screening and further use. The calibration statistics describe model performance at national and regional scales and should not by themselves be used as documentation of local-scale model accuracy.
