Abstract

This HydroLearn module introduces learners to diagnostic error metrics used in streamflow model performance evaluation. It begins by covering the fundamentals of streamflow modeling evaluation and introducing commonly used diagnostic error metrics. It then explains how to interpret metric results, considering metric strengths and limitations, aggregation, binning, transformations, and uncertainty, as well as the use of visualizations and evaluation software. The module concludes with a real-world learning activity. In the activity, learners will take the role of a water resources analyst at a regional river forecast center tasked with evaluating streamflow simulation and forecast performance for different flood events.
