Coupled intelligent prediction model for medium- to long-term runoff based on teleconnection factors selection and spatial-temporal analysis. by Jintao Li, Ping Ai, Chuansheng Xiong, Yanhong Song

“…The proposed models were tested in the Yalong River Basin (YLRB), where accurate medium- to long-term runoff forecasts are essential for ecological management, flood control, and optimal water resource allocation. The results demonstrate the following: (1) The impact of atmospheric circulation indices on YLRB runoff exhibits a one-month lag, providing crucial insights for water resource scheduling and flood prevention. (2) The coupled models effectively eliminate collinearity and redundant variables, improving prediction accuracy across all forecast periods. (3) Compared to single baseline models, the coupled models demonstrated significant performance improvements across six evaluation metrics. …”
