Abstract

Data on the rivers of Onega, Ponoi, and Tuloma have been used to study whether the land surface model SWAP can serve as a tool to reproduce many-year series of daily runoff hydrographs of rivers in Northern Russia. The input data for the model have been derived from observational data from weather stations and global databases. It has been considered whether the model parameters obtained for one river can be used for calculations for other rivers where no data on appropriate parameters are available.
