摘要

This study investigates the application of nine widely used digital recursive filters to separate daily baseflow. Based on precipitation and streamflow data from a local station regarding the period 2010–2021, we compared the filters through efficiency coefficients (i.e. Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (NSE) and coefficient of determination (R2)). The results show relevant differences in baseflow derived from different methods. Among the recursive algorithms studied, the Furey & Gupta method estimated the lowest baseflow (annual average of 6.41 m3/s, corresponding to 17% of the discharge). In contrast, the Lyne & Holic and Fixed Interval methods estimated the highest baseflow (30.96 m3/s and 30.11 m3/s, respectively, corresponding to 85% and 82% of the discharge). The Sliding Interval method, with an NSE of 0.88 and an R2 of 0.83, was selected as the most appropriate for estimating baseflow. Although digital recursive filters are a useful automated approach for baseflow separation.
