Short summary
Hydrological models need to simulate both rainfall and snowmelt generated floods in regions with snow. We evaluated a deep learning model’s ability to capture timing and magnitude of floods generated by snowmelt and rainfall separately. Timing was better simulated for rainfall than snowmelt generated floods, whereas results for flood peak magnitudes were similar. Compared to an operational model, the deep learning model was better at simulating both flood types in the majority of the catchments.
