Fig. 1: Daily discharge comparisons between simulations and observations at four representative hydrological stations at the Yangtze River mainstream.

They are Yichang (a, b), Hankou (c, d), Jiujiang (e, f), and Datong (g, h) stations. The left and right columns show the results of 1931 and 1998, respectively. The red, orange, gray, and blue lines display the simulated discharge in the NorESM-WRF-SWAT, the NorESM-BC-SWAT, the NorESM-SWAT, and the ClimObs-SWAT experiments, respectively. The solid black line illustrates the observed discharge and the dashed black line is the discharge digitized from the “river level-time curve” in the book “The Great Floods in Chinese History.” R2 (determinate coefficient), NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient), and RMSE (root mean square error, %) are calculated based on the daily simulations against the observations.
