Hydrological models are essential tools for assessing, analyzing and developing solutions for natural hydrologic systems (Mostafaie et al., 2018;Wagener et al., 2001). One of the steps in application of these models, is the estimation of their parameters, which is known as model calibration (Guinot et al., 2011;. Parameters of the hydrological models are estimated by comparing the simulated and observed variables of interest (usually streamflow) . The match between simulated and observed variables is expressed using statistical performance measures such as Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
