Influence of multisite calibration on streamflow estimation based on the hydrological model with CMADS inputs

Due to the spatial heterogeneity, the hydrological model calibration results only at the total outlet of the basin may not represent the whole basin. To more accurately simulate the historical streamflow process within the Qujiang River Basin, we set up three calibration strategies (single-site, S1;...
