Provenance |
The hydrology downscaling was performed with tailored setups of the HYPE model. |
Validation |
The downscaling made by MATCH in Urban SIS has been validated against observations in Urban SIS deliverable 5.3. Section 4.1 gives a validation of how precipitation data from the HARMONIE-AROME used as forcing for HYPE which can be used for further understanding of validity of the results. |
