Short summary
The quality of large-domain hydrologic model simulations is often quantified with so-called accuracy metrics. Here we use simple benchmarks to provide relevant context for these accuracy metrics. Results show that areas where the model cannot beat the benchmarks do not always align with areas where the accuracy metrics are low. This suggests that model improvements are possible in regions that under more typical model evaluation approaches (i.e., without benchmarks) might not be obvious.
