Short summary
Hydrological models are vital for water management but often fail to predict water flow in dynamic catchments due to model simplification. This study tackles it by developing an optimized calibration framework that considers dynamic catchment characteristics. To overcome potential difficulties, multiple schemes were tested on over 200 U.S. catchments. The results enhanced our understanding of simulation in dynamic catchments and provided a practical solution for improving future forecasting.
