No universal approach for model parameterisation, calibration and validation exists, as it depends on the model, spatial and temporal resolution and the nature of the datasets used. We explored some existing options for parameterisation, calibration and validation for erosion modelling exemplary with a specific dataset and modelling approach. A new Morgan￢ﾀﾐMorgan￢ﾀﾐFinney (MMF)￢ﾀﾐtype model was developed, representing a balanced position between physically￢ﾀﾐbased and empirical modelling approaches. The resulting model termed ￢ﾀﾘcalculator for soil erosion￢ﾀﾙ (CASE), works in a spatially distributed way on the timescale of individual rainfall events. A dataset of 142 high￢ﾀﾐintensity rainfall experiments in Central Europe (AT, HU, IT, CZ), covering various slopes, soil types and experimental designs was used for calibration and validation with a modified Monte￢ﾀﾐCarlo approach. Subsequently, model parameter values were compared to parameter values obtained by alternative methods (measurements, pedotransfer functions, literature data). The model reproduced runoff and soil loss of the dataset in the validation setting with R2adj of 0.89 and 0.76, respectively. Satisfactory agreement for the water phase was found, with calibrated saturated hydraulic conductivity (ksat) values falling within the interquartile range of ksat predicted with 14 different pedotransfer functions, or being within one order of magnitude. The chosen approach also well reflected specific experimental setups contained in the dataset dealing with the effects of consecutive rainfall and different soil water conditions. For the sediment phase of the tested model agreement between calibrated cohesion, literature values and field measurements were only partially in line. The methods we explored may specifically be interesting for use with other MMF￢ﾀﾐtype models, or with similar datasets.</p Revised Morgan-Morgan-Finney model Model calibration Model validation Morgan-Morgan-Finney model Erosion modelling CASE; erosion modelling; model calibration; model validation; Morgan-Morgan-Finney model; pedotransfer function; revised Morgan-Morgan-Finney model; surface runoff CASE 15.
