Calibration of SWAT models using the cloud
A cloud-based, parallel SWAT calibration algorithm is evaluated. 1000 runs are sufficient for flow calibration using up to 256 cores in parallel. Speedup of the parallel SWAT calibration tool is linear for up to 64 cores. Cost to calibrate a SWAT model can be estimated from HRU and time step counts.
