Table 4. Periods of simulation and model input time series for each type of model simulation.
Type of model simulation | Period of simulation | Model input time series | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
CALIBRATION | Oct. 1948 - Sept. 1989 | Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station | Oct. 1948 - Sept. 1949 omitted from analysis |
Synthetic daily minimum and maximum air temperatures for Omak OMAW AgriMet station | |||
TESTING 1 | Oct. 1989 - Sept. 1996 | Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station | Differs from CALIBRATION in that measured, real-time air temperatures are used instead of synthetic air temperatures for Omak OMAW AgriMet station |
Daily minimum and maximum air temperatures for Omak OMAW AgriMet station | |||
TESTING 2 | Oct. 1989 - Sept. 1996 | Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station | Differs from TESTING 1 in that measured, real-time precipitation data for Salmon Meadows SNOTEL station are added |
Daily minimum and maximum air temperatures for Omak OMAW AgriMet station | |||
Daily precipitation for Salmon Meadows SNOTEL station | |||
TESTING 3 | Oct. 1989 - Sept. 1996 | Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station and Omak OMAW AgriMet station | Differs from TESTING 1 in that measured, real-time precipitation data for Omak OMAW AgriMet station are added |
TESTING 4 | Oct. 1989 - Sept. 1996 | Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station and Omak OMAW AgriMet station | Differs from TESTING 1 in that measured, real-time precipitation data for Salmon Meadows SNOTEL and Omak OMAW AgriMet stations are added |
Daily precipitation for Salmon Meadows SNOTEL station | |||
COMPOSITE | Oct. 1948 - Sept. 2004 | Oct. 1948 - Sept. 1989: Daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures for Conconully climate station |
Identical to CALIBRATION Oct. 1948 - Sept. 1989; identical to TESTING 1 Oct. 1989 - Sept. 1996; model input identical to TESTING 1 Oct. 1996 - Sept. 1999; model input differs from TESTING 1 Oct. 1999 - Sept. 2004 in that daily precipitation and minimum and maximum air temperatures are used for Conconully CCR Hydromet station instead of Conconully climate station |
