Research on Hydrological Element Analysis and Runoff Prediction in the Jinsha River Basin Based on the VIC Model by LIU Hongcai, ZHANG Huilan, SUN Jianing, PANG Jianzhuang, AN Ni

“…[Results] (1) The historical runoff simulation indicates that the Nash efficiency coefficient between the simulated and observed values exceeds 0.6, and the absolute value of BIAS is controlled within 0.15, demonstrating that the VIC model is suitable for simulating the hydrological process in the Jinsha River Basin. (2) The hydrological process components simulated by the VIC model show that precipitation increases from the upstream to the downstream regions, evapotranspiration is higher in the middle and lower reaches, and the multi-year average values of surface runoff and base flow increase from the upstream to the downstream regions with significant differences, further validating the model's applicability. (3) A comparison of single-model and MMEA simulation results using the EEMD-based (Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition) statistical downscaling method reveals that the MMEA matches the observed data the best. …”
