“…Fusing is typically achieved by pooling the predictions from the multiple models (weather and/or hydrological models) and extracting a single prediction value corresponding to the “best” forecast from the multi‐model ensemble. The multi‐model combination can be performed by fusing individual streamflow forecasts from multiple hydrological models (e.g., Brochero et al., 2011; Demirel et al., 2015; Mahanama et al., 2012), combining multiple NWP model ensembles of weather forecasts (e.g., Bao et al., 2011; Bogner et al., 2011; Kim et al., 2017), and ultimately, merging the different approaches (e.g., Bourdin & Stull, 2013; Dutta et al., 2012; Slater et al., 2017). However, even though the combination methods can improve some of the statistical properties of the forecasts, they are little used in operational EFSs, where they are put into practice in a decision‐making context.…”
