“…So far, land surface hydrological models have been successfully implemented at both regional (e.g., Maurer et al, 2002;Yang et al, 2004;Tang et al, 2007Tang et al, , 2008Hu et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2014) and global scales (e.g., Wood, 2007, 2008;Haddeland et al, 2011;Pan et al, 2012). With the aid of real-time meteorological forcings, many model-based hydrological monitoring practices have been conducted to support a real-time flood/drought diagnosis.…”
