Uncertainty analysis on long-term runoff projection from the Budyko framework and aconceptual hydrological model.
Runoff projections are subject to uncertainties related to model structure and parameters. This study aims to analyze uncertainties in longterm runoff estimations from an empirical (Budyko framework) and a conceptual hydrological model (MHD-INPE). Results indicate that both MHD-INPE and Budyko estim...
