| Zusammenfassung |
| Reproducibility and repeatability of experiments are the fundamental
prerequisites that allow researchers to validate results and share
hydrological knowledge, experience and expertise in the light of global water
management problems. Virtual laboratories offer new opportunities to enable
these prerequisites since they allow experimenters to share data, tools and
pre-defined experimental procedures (i.e. protocols). Here we present the
outcomes of a first collaborative numerical experiment undertaken by five
different international research groups in a virtual laboratory to address
the key issues of reproducibility and repeatability. Moving from the
definition of accurate and detailed experimental protocols, a rainfall–runoff
model was independently applied to 15 European catchments by the research
groups and model results were collectively examined through a web-based
discussion. We found that a detailed modelling protocol was crucial to ensure
the comparability and reproducibility of the proposed experiment across
groups. Our results suggest that sharing comprehensive and precise protocols
and running the experiments within a controlled environment (e.g. virtual
laboratory) is as fundamental as sharing data and tools for ensuring
experiment repeatability and reproducibility across the broad scientific
community and thus advancing hydrology in a more coherent way. |
