Appendix B. Calibrated parameters used in the Sacramento rainfall runoff model.
Table B1. Calibrated parameters used in the Sacramento rainfall runoff model. Parameters are the Area (km²) of each subcatchment, Lztwm (mm), the capacity of the lower zone tension water store; Uzfwm (mm), the capacity of the upper zone free water store; Uzk, the ratio of water in the Uzfwm depleted each day; Rexp, the exponential rate of change in seepage with changes in lower water storage zones; Uztwm (mm), the capacity of the upper zone tension water maximum; Pfree, the minimum proportion of water draining from the upper to the lower zone, Zperc, the maximum percolation rate, Lzfpm (mm), the capacity of the lower zone free water base flow, Side, the fraction of observed base flow to aquifers, Lzfsm (mm), the capacity of the lower zone free water supplemental base flow store; Lzsk, the ratio of water in the Lzfsm leaving as base flow, Pctim, fraction of impervious surface in the catchment; Sarva, the fraction of the catchment which can deplete streamflow by evapotranspiration; Lzpk, the ratio of water in the Lzfpm that drains as baseflow; Adimp, the portion of pervious surface in the catchment that becomes impervious when saturated; and Ssout (m3/s/km²), the volume of flow conveyed by porous material in the streambed.
