Impact of potential and (scintillometer-based) actual evapotranspiration estimates on the performance of a lumped rainfall–runoff model

Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a key role in hydrological impact studies and operational flood forecasting models as ET represents a loss of water from a catchment. <br><br> Although ET is a major component of the catchment water balance, the evapotranspiration input for rainfall–runoff m...
