Summary

Abstract Moving toward high‐resolution gridded hydrologic models asks for novel parametrization approaches. A high‐resolution conceptual hydrologic model (wflow_sbm) was parameterized for the Rhine basin in Europe based on point‐scale (pedo)transfer functions, without further calibration of effective model parameters on discharge. Parameters were estimated on the data resolution, followed by upscaling of parameter fields to the model resolution. The method was tested using a 6‐hourly time step at four model resolutions (1.2, 2.4, 3.6, and 4.8 km), followed by a validation with discharge observations and a comparison with actual evapotranspiration (ET act ) estimates from an independent model (DMET Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility). Additionally, the scalability of param
