Short summary
Soil moisture and evapotranspiration (ET) are important to flood forecasting. An energy balance scheme based on the representative temperature (RET) was developed and coupled to the original mass balance scheme of the Xin'anjiang model. Validation against both runoff and land surface temperature confirmed the accuracy and applicability of the improved model (XAJ-EB). RET serves as a new constraint to the model and can be used for model calibration and validation.
