Validation

Validating the calibrated model

In R, let’s validate our calibrated model using data from 2015 to 2020.

obs_v <- read.table("obs_v.txt")[[1]]
sim_v <- run_rtopmodel(path_v)
write.table(sim_v, "sim_v.txt", row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE)

calc_nse(obs_v, sim_v, skip_v)

This step will create output_v.txt and sim_v.txt.

My NSE for validation is 0.7745305, which is not bad. However, baseflows are still not properly simulated.
