  1. NFDC1 Simulation Example Forecast Date 12/15 Nf = 60 days Na = 8 days

  2. Objective • The objective of this test is to evaluate alternative approaches for a hydrologic post-processor to generate an ensemble prediction (simulation) of observed streamflows using calibration hydrographs and corresponding observations as input data. • Focus is on the period 12/15 – 2/13

  3. Example: NFDC1 Dec 15 Select historical data from each year from a window of N days where N = Na + Nf + Nbuffer Analysis Period Future Period Qobsf (to be predicted) Qsimf (given) Qobsa (given) Qsima (given) Time Na = 8 Nf = 60 Nbuffer/2 Nbuffer/2 Nw = Na + Nf “Present” (t = 0) Nbuffer = 30 Note: Nbuffer sets of Nw days of data are taken from each of NYR years of data. This gives NOBS = NYRS * Nbuffer observations for each day

  4. Comparison of Observed, Simulated and Adjusted Ensemble Streamflow Hydrographs (z-space)

  5. Comparison of Observed, Simulated and Adjusted Ensemble Streamflow Hydrographs

  6. Mean and Standard Deviation Statistics of Observed, Simulated and Adjusted Ensemble Members

  7. Comparison of RMS Errors

  8. Correlations between Observed and Simulated and Ensemble Means

  9. Serial Correlation Functions of Transformed Streamflow Data

  10. Cumulative Distribution Functions of Daily Observed, Simulated and Adjusted Ensemble Streamflow Values

  11. Cumulative Rank Histogram

  12. A-Matrix

  13. B-Matrix

  14. Eigenvalue Distribution of BBT

  15. Conclusions • The General Linear Model (GLM) was able to: • Create ensemble members that have the same climatology as the observed values • Preserved “intrinsic” skill (after phase error correction) • Reduces RMS error of raw model simulation • Appears to give reasonable ensemble estimates of Qobs from single-value calibration simulations
