When does higher spatial resolution rainfall information improve streamflow simulation? An evaluation using 3620 flood events

Precipitation is the key factor controlling the high-frequency hydrological response in catchments, and streamflow simulation is thus dependent on the way rainfall is represented in a hydrological model. A characteristic that distinguishes distributed from lumped models is the ability to explicitly...
