| General Comments: | This study is part of a special issue entitled "Hydrological Model Intercomparison for Climate Impact Assessment" that was published in volume 141(3) of Climatic Change. The special issue is not focused on SWAT applications specifically although several of the studies do describe applications of SWAT within the context of the special issue theme. The lead-off overview article for the special issue is: Krysanova, V. and F.F. Hattermann. 2017. Intercomparison of climate change impacts in 12 large river basins: Overview of methods and summary of results. Climatic Change. 141(3): 363-379. Doi: 10.1007/s10584-017-1919-y. The 11 river basins that were included in the study are listed in Table A2 in the supplementary material accessible at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-016-1829-4#SupplementaryMaterial. SWAT simulations were performed for six of the eleven river basins. |
