Abstract
Abstract Subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) weather forecasting has made significant advances and several products have been made available. However, to date few studies utilize these products to extend the hydrological forecast time range. This study evaluates S2S precipitation from eight model ensembles in the hydrological simulation of extreme events at the catchment scale. A superior bias correction method is used to correct the bias of S2S precipitation for hydrological forecasts, and the results are compared with direct bias correction of hydrological forecasts using raw precipitation forecasts as input. The study shows that the S2S models can skillfully forecast daily precipitation within a lead time of 11 days. The S2S precipitation data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), and United Kingdom’s Met Office (UKMO) models present lower mean error than that of other models and have higher correlation coefficients with observations. Precipitation data from the ECMWF, KMA, and UKMO models also perform better than that of other models in simulating multiple-day precipitation processes. The bias correction method effectively reduces the mean error of daily S2S precipitation for all models while also improving the correlation with observations. Moreover, this study found that the bias correction procedure can apply to either precipitation or streamflow simulations for improving the hydrological forecasts, even though the degree of improvement is dependent on the hydrological variables. Overall, S2S precipitation has a potential to be applied for hydrological forecasts, and a superior bias correction method can increase the forecasts’ reliability, although further studies are still needed to confirm its effect.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
