Short summary
This study investigates whether higher temporal and spatial resolution of rainfall can lead to improved model performance. Four rainfall datasets were used to drive lumped and distributed HBV models to simulate daily discharges. Results show that a higher temporal resolution of rainfall improves the model performance if the station density is high. A combination of observed high temporal resolution observations with disaggregated daily rainfall leads to further improvement of the tested models.
