L'altimètre radar [...] mesure la distance sur la base du temps qui s'écoule entre l'envoi du signal et la réception de son écho. Pour que la mesure soit juste, il faut déduire de cette durée le temps de transit du signal dans l'électronique de l'instrument. Ainsi, «l'étalonnage absolu» consiste à faire la soustraction : durée totale - transit dans l'électronique. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9talonnage%20absolu

Four simple conceptual daily rainfall-runoff models are applied to a 25-basin data set. The drainage basins are all from the UK, covering a range of sizes, topographies, soils and climates. The quality of the simulation of the observed response is classically quantified by a minimized objective function. However, in this instance, model performance is judged by a range of quantitative and qualitative measures of fit, applied to both the calibration and validation periods. These include efficiency, mean annual runoff, baseflow index, the synthetic monthly and daily flow regimes, and the flow duration curve. 1, record 2, English, - baseflow%20index

Critère d'évaluation de modèles conceptuels simples pluie-débit au pas de temps journalier. Résumé : Quatre modèles conceptuels simples pluie-débit au pas de temps journalier ont été appliqués à de séries de données de 25 bassins versants. Ces bassins versants, de taille, topographie, sol et climat variés, sont tous situés au Royaume Uni. La qualité de la simulation des observations est quantifiée en minimisant une fonction objective classique. Cependant, dans notre exemple, la performance d'un modèle est jugée en mesurant qualitativement et quantitativement l'ajustement, à la fois sur la période de calage et sur la période de validation. Ces mesures comprennent l'efficacité, l'écoulement moyen annuel, l'indice de débit de base, les régimes synthétiques des débits mensuels et annuel et la courbe débit-durée-fréquence. 1, record 2, French, - indice%20de%20d%C3%A9bit%20de%20base
