Dear all,
I am doing calibration in snow fed basin.According to Dr Karim first fix value of TLAPS and PLAPS then other parametrs,  what range of values i should used for both parameters.according to swat absolute its ranges are following.
PLAPS         -1000    1000      Precipitation lapse rate.
TLAPS         -10    10        Temperature lapse rate.
is this ok??
thanks

Those values should be edited by users. TLAPS is around -6 oC/km. So I would use -9  to -4
PLAPS could be more variable depending on where you are. I would initially try 0 to 100 mm.

You cannot calibrate the model just with these two parameters. You fix their values now to the best values you obtained and calibrate for the snow parameters next, then fix those parameters and go to flow parameters.
