Abstract

The article presents an assessment of the possibility of using data from the NOAH model in the framework of the FEWS NET/USGS / EROS project for operational hydrological forecasting. The work used data from the space flight center Goddard (USA) and data from ground-based weather stations. Statistical estimates of data compliance are presented, the correlation coefficient is calculated, which shows a low correlation and is equal to 0,4, the shortcomings of model data and errors in determining the water equivalent reaching large absolute and relative values are revealed. It is concluded that the model data are not suitable for operational forecasting in Northern Kazakhstan and can be used in mountainous areas or only for comparative analysis of spatial and temporal deviations
