PRMS Features • Modular Design • Deterministic • Distributed Parameter • Daily and Storm Mode • Variable Time Step • User Modifiable • Optimization and Sensitivity Analysis
SPATIAL CONSIDERATIONS LUMPED MODELS - No account of spatial variability of processes, input, boundary conditions, and system geometry DISTRIBUTED MODELS - Explicit account of spatial variability of processes, input, boundary conditions, and watershed characteristics QUASI-DISTRIBUTED MODELS - Attempt to account for spatial variability, but use some degree of lumping in one or more of the modeled characteristics.
GRID-BASED MODELS TOPMODEL Distributed Approaches - Explicit grid to grid - Statistical distribution ----(topgraphic index)
Distributed Parameter Approach Hydrologic Response Units - HRUs HRU Delineation Based on: - Slope - Aspect - Elevation - Vegetation - Soil - Precip Distribution
HRU DELINEATION AND CHARACTERIZATION Grid Cell Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs) Polygon Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs)
MODEL DRIVING VARIABLES - TEMPERATURE - max and min daily - lapse rate varied monthly or daily - PRECIPITATION - spatial and elevation adjustment - form estimation
MODEL DRIVING VARIABLES - SOLAR RADIATION - measured data extrapolated to slope-aspect of each HRU - when no measured data, then estimated using temperature, precip, and potential solar radiation - max daily temperature procedure - daily temperature range procedure
TEMPERATURE For each HRU tmax(hru) = obs_tmax(hru_tsta) - tcrx(mo) tmin(hru) = obs_tmin(hru_tsta) - tcrx(mo) where tcrx(mo) = [ tmax_lapse(mo) * elfac(hru)] - tmax_adj(hru) elfac(hru) = [hru_elev - tsta_elev(hru_tsta)] / 1000.

Precipitation Gage Catch Error vs Wind Speed (Larsen and Peck, 1972) Rain (shield makes little difference) Snow (shielded) Snow (unshielded)
Precipitation Gauge Intercomparison Rabbit Ears Pass, Colorado
PRECIPITATION For each HRU - DEPTH hru_precip(hru) = precip(hru_psta) * pcor(mo) pcor(mo) = Rain_correction or Snow_correction
PRECIPITATION For each HRU - FORM (rain, snow, mixture of both) RAIN tmin(hru) > tmax_allsnow tmax(hru) > tmax_allrain(mo) SNOW tmax(hru) <= tmax_allsnow

Precip and temp stations XYZ Spatial Redistribution 2. Daily mean PRCP, TMAX, and TMIN computed for a subset of stations (3) determined by the Exhaustive Search analysis to be best stations 3. Daily station means from (2) used with monthly MLR xyz relations to estimate daily PRCP, TMAX, and TMIN on each HRU according to the XYZ of each HRU
