This study is the fourth in a sequence of the Great Lakes Runoff Intercomparison Projects covering the entire Great Lakes watershed after the predecessors focussed on in individual lakes (Michigan, Ontario, and Erie). Twelve data-driven, hydrologic and land-surface models of different complexity are set up over this domain using the same meteorological forcings and geophysical input datasets (soil, landcover, DEM), and their simulated streamflows at 141 calibration and 71 independent validation stations are compared. Calibration was performed from 2001 to 2010 while temporal validation took place for the period between 2011 and 2017.
