“…Results from the two calibration experiments suggested that, while the streamflow performance remained close in both cases, the evaporation performance was highly improved if the objectives for streamflow and evaporation were combined into a single composite function during optimization. The VIC model outperformed the reference benchmark, and the independent meteorological datasets yielded a slight to moderate loss in model performance depending on the calibration experiment considered. …”
