Abstract

AbstractThe objective of this work was to develop a hypothetical reality of hydrologic response to be used as an error‐free synthetic dataset in a larger ongoing study. The hypothetical reality was generated via rigorous simulation of a real system with a comprehensive physics‐based model. The simulation was conducted with the Integrated Hydrology Model (InHM); the system is the Tarrawarra catchment located in southeastern Australia. Parameterization of the Tarrawarra boundary‐value problem was based on the best available information, which, for example includes rainfall, discharge, and soil‐water content data for the last six months of 1996. The InHM‐simulated near‐surface hydrologic response for the Tarrawarra boundary‐value problem compares well (albeit not perfectly) with both the integrated and distributed observations from the catchment. The Tarrawarra‐like hypothetical reality of wet season hydrologic response generated in this study is rich enough to be employed as an error‐free synthetic dataset for quantitatively evaluating the capabilities/limitations of competing (underlying) modelling techniques.
