Abstract

Young, P.C., Jakeman, A.J. and Post, D.A. (1997) Recent advances in the data-based modelling and analysis of hydrological systems. Water Science and Technology, 36, 99-116.

Hydrological systems present several difficulties for modellers. A data-based approach utilizing objective statistical analysis of output and/or input-output time series behaviour has much to offer, both for understanding the response dynamics of systems and future hypothesis formulation for improved model structure, as well as good predictive capacity. In this paper, the essential elements and tools of a data-based approach, using an Unobserved Components (UC) model, are presented and illustrated with two real examples.
