Abstract:

The GLUE method is applied to the uncertainty analyses of TOPMODEL hydrological model , with the Xingfeng catchment , a tributary of Dongjiang watershed , as the research object. The results show that the parame-ters m , T0 and RV are sensitive , any a slight change of them will inf1uence the simulated results , while SR0 is not sensitive. Moreover , the observed flow hydrographs of two selected floods cannot be completely comprised in the
upper and lower limits of the simulated hydrographs. Some flow values lie out of the 90% confidence interval , indica-ting that TOPMODEL model cannot simulate the whole flow process at the Xingfeng catchment due to the uncertainty of TOPMODEL model.

Key words: TOPMODEL model, uncertainty anaylsis, GLUE method, Xingfeng catchment
