The idea of MPSUA is to couple the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation ( GL U E) with the Multi2Parameter Sensitivity Analysis (MPSA) based on Monte Carlo simulation. The implementation of MPSA includes t he following step s : (1) Running t he model using randomly generated parameter set s ; (2) Comp uting t he objective f unction values, which are defined as t he sum of squared errors between observed and simulated values. The ob2 served values are t he outp ut f rom model simulations using t he median of t he characteristic range for each parameter. (3) Identif ying t he acceptable and unacceptable parameter set s by comparing t he objective f unction values to a given criterion, e. g., t he 50 % division of all sorted objective f unctions. The objective f unction value which is less t han t he criterion is classified as accep table, ot herwise it is classified as unacceptable. ( 4) Measuring t he separating degree between two cumulative distribution curves for "acceptable" and " unac2 ceptable" parameters. Larger discrepancy means higher sensitivit y. The case st udy in t he Chaobai River Basin of Nort h China showed t hat the model performance can be evaluated based on MPSUA, even t hough the optimum parameter values were unknown. For exam2 ple, t he same model could reach a higher modeling precision for t he Chaohe River Basin t han t hat for t he Baihe River Basin. Such a difference in model performance is likely caused by bot h t he uncertainty f rom model struct ure and t he uncertainty f rom inp ut data. The consistency between parameter optimization by SCE2UA algorit hm and MPSUA also illust rated t he ratio nalit y of t he met hodology applied in t his paper. Furt her st udies can take into account multiple objectives into t he MSPUA. Key words :model performance ; parameter ; sensitivity analysis ; SCE2UA algorithm ; Cha2 ohe and Baihe river basins in Nort h China
