Short summary
Hydrological model parameters may vary in time under nonstationary conditions, i.e., climate change and anthropogenic activities. The technique of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is proposed to identify the temporal variation of parameters for a two-parameter monthly water balance model. Through a synthesis experiment and two case studies, the EnKF is demonstrated to be useful for the identification of parameter variations.
