Hydrologic predictions at Macro-scale,data scarce basins are now a hotspot in hydrologic researches.Hydrological models are important tools in hydrologic prediction,and physical based hydrological models have been widely applied for water cycle researches,watershed water resources planning and management. Whether a specific hydrological model could precisely describe the hydrologic processes of a specific region at a specific time scale depends on the structure of the model and the quality of input data,including hydro-climate data and underlaying surface data.Macro and micro-scale hydrologic predictions in data-scarce basin depend heavily on input data.In this research,a physical based distributed hydrological model VIC-3L was selected to study its adaptability in the source regions of the Yellow River.The total area is(122 000) km~2 and there are only 8 meteorological stations.The study regions were divided into 218 square-cells of 0.25°×0.25° grids.Forcing data including daily precipitation,minimum and maximum temperature data from 8 meteorological stations were interpolated into each cell using inverse distance weighted(IDW) method.Runoff of each cell was routed to the regions' outlet with a coupled routing model.Simulated and observed runoff at three different time scales(yearly,monthly and daily) of the basins' outlet were referred to investigate the feasibility of hydrologic simulation of VIC-3L in this regions.As for the yearly-time-scale,the maximum water balance error of calibration and validation periods are both below 10%,which shows the performance of VIC-3L on this time scale is good.Both Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient and flow duration curve error index(EI) of monthly runoff series can satisfy a certain criterion showing that VIC-3L can reproduce monthly hydrologic process.Although the shape of modeled daily runoff fits well with that of the observed one,Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient and EI cannot pass the standards proving that VIC-3L model in this regions cannot precisely describe the daily runoff with the given daily forcing data.Many resources can contribute to this phenomenon,such as model structure,cell numbers and input data quantity.In the study regions it is mainly because of the insufficient meteorological station that cannot describe daily rainfall spatial distribution.These results show that VIC-3L model can be used as water resource planning and management tools in this regions on yearly or monthly time scale,however if the daily hydrologic processes is required,other data sources are needed.So more meteorological stations should be constructed or other modern monitoring techniques such as remote sensing of micro-wave techniques should be applied in these regions.
