Evaluation of Land Surface Models: Focused on Andong and Yongdam Dam Basins

The regional impacts of climate change have caused more frequent and severe extreme hydrologic events such as droughts and floods. The better understanding of the hydrologic circulation related atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere, and the application of suitable land-atmosphere models are essential to analyze the regional impacts of climate change. In this study, DHSVM and TOPLATS model are applied to the Yongdam and Andongdam basins which have flux tower data for 2013 year. In this study, RMSE, , MSRE methods are used to evaluate the models. Comparisons of model results and observation data of net radiation, sensible heat, latent heat, ground heat, evapotraspiration, and soil moisture demonstrated that overall performance of test statistics of DHSVM is better than that of TOPLATS.
