TheWEB-DHM with the frozen scheme was then rigorously evaluated in a small coldarea, the Binngou watershed, against the in-situ observations from the WATER(Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research). First, by using theoriginal WEB-DHM without the frozen scheme, the land surface parameters andtwo van Genuchten parameters were optimized using the observed surfaceradiation fluxes and the soil moistures at upper layers (5, 10 and 20 cmdepths) at the DY station in July. Second, by using the WEB-DHM with thefrozen scheme, two frozen soil parameters were calibrated using the observedsoil temperature at 5 cm depth at the DY station from 21 November 2007 to 20April 2008; while the other soil hydraulic parameters were optimized by thecalibration of the discharges at the basin outlet in July and August thatcovers the annual largest flood peak in 2008. With these calibratedpar... SN - 1607-7938 ID - L.2010 ER -
