Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study presents the potential of hydrological ensemble forecasts over South Korea for medium-range forecast lead times (1–7 days). To generate hydrological forecasts, this study utilizes a framework based on stacking ensemble learning, an emerging machine learning technique that includes a two-level structure: base-learner and meta-learner models. In particular, the present research contributes to hydrological post-processing techniques by: (1) introducing a penalized quantile regression-based meta-learner to generate probabilistic predictions, (2) considering modeled climate predictions and antecedent hydrologic conditions simultaneously for regional hydrological forecast development, and (3) quantifying the skill enhancements from the multi-model forecasts under the stacking generalization. The proposed model is evaluated in massive 473 grid cells along with nine additional simpler models to test the specific hypotheses introduced in this study. Results indicate that our proposed forecasts can be used for relatively short lead times. In addition, results demonstrate that utilizing a penalized probabilistic meta-learner and antecedent conditions contributes to the forecast skill improvements. Lastly, we find that base-model diversity outperforms increased ensemble size alone in enhancing the forecast abilities under the stacking ensemble generalization. We conclude this paper with a discussion of possible forecast model improvements from an adaptation of additional information from input and model structures under the stacking generalization.
