Boxplots of streamflow performances across the 212 flow gauges considered here, for the different calibrated models. (a) performances over the calibration period (1st Jan. 2008- 31 Dec. 2017) for the three different calibrated model runs mentioned in this document. MESH_cal corresponds to the calibrated version of MESH-SVS-Raven using the GRIP-GL setup configuration, GEMH_cal corresponds to the calibrated version of GEM-Hydro using the GRIP-GL setup configuration, and GEMH_cal_NSRPS corresponds to the calibrated version of GEM-Hydro using the NSRPS setup configuration (see Methods and text for more details). (b) performances for the calibrated version of GEM-Hydro using the NSRPS configuration over the calibration (20080101-20171231) and validation (20010101-20071231) periods. The target value for KGE12 (revised KGE) and NSE criteria is 1.0, while the target value for PBIAS (relative percent bias) is 0.0. On Figs. 5 and 6, the lower and upper limits of the boxes correspond respectively to quartiles 25 and 75% of the 212 gauges’ performances, the median score value is shown with a horizontal line in the thinner part of the box, and the lower and upper whiskers correspond respectively to percentiles 5 and 95% of the gauges’ performances, while the outliers are not shown.
