Abstract
Much uncertainty is derived from the application of conceptual rainfall runoff models.
In this paper, HYSIM, an ‘off-the-shelf’ conceptual rainfall runoff model, is applied
to a suite of catchments throughout Ireland in preparation for use in climate impact
assessment. Parameter uncertainty is assessed using the GLUE methodology. Given the
lack of source code available for the model, parameter sampling is carried out using
Latin hypercube sampling. Uncertainty bounds are constructed for model output. These
bounds will be used to quantify uncertainty in future simulations as they include error
derived from data measurement, model structure and parameterization.
