In this WP, the integrated WUNDER system (STEMMUS-SCOPE-T&C-MODFLOW) will be upscaled to national level via the discharge boundary conditions provided by the wflow_sbm model (a spatial distributed hydrological model). Furthermore, the added value of switching between the current (MetaSWAp, SWAP) and available land surface model concepts (STEMMUS-SCOPE-T&C) will be quantified. As such, this WP will apply and test the predictive capabilities of the coupled model in comparisons to what is being used currently in the Netherlands and other available concepts more applicable abroad. Use cases will be developed together with stakeholders (see WP5).
Figure 6 Overview of National Hydrological Instrument (NHI) and the STEMMUS-SCOPE Emulator is expected to contribute to the further development of NHI.
