  abstract = {{R}ecent advances in global flow routing schemes have shown the importance of using high-resolution topography for representing floodplain inundation dynamics more reliably. {T}his study presents and evaluates the {H}ydrological {M}odeling and {A}nalysis {P}latform ({H}y{MAP}), which is a global flow routing scheme specifically designed to bridge the gap between current state-of-the-art global flow routing schemes by combining their main features and introducing new features to better capture floodplain dynamics. {T}he ultimate goals of {H}y{MAP} are to provide the scientific community with a novel scheme suited to the assimilation of satellite altimetry data for global water discharge forecasts and a model that can be potentially coupled with atmospheric models. {I}n this first model evaluation, {H}y{MAP} is coupled with the {I}nteractions between {S}oil-{B}iosphere-{A}tmosphere ({ISBA}) land surface model in order to simulate the surface water dynamics in the {A}mazon basin. {T}he model is evaluated over the 1986-2006 period against an unprecedented source of information, including in situ and satellite-based datasets of water discharge and level, flow velocity, and floodplain extent. {R}esults show that the model can satisfactorily simulate the large-scale features of the water surface dynamics of the {A}mazon {R}iver basin. {A}mong all stream gauges considered, 23% have {N}ash-{S}utcliffe coefficients ({NS}) higher than 0.50 and 68% above zero. {A}bout 28% of the stations have volume errors lower than 15%. {S}imulated discharges at {O}bidos had {NS} = 0.89. {T}ime series of simulated floodplains at the basin scale agrees well with satellite-based estimates, with a relative error of 7% and correlation of 0.89. {T}hese results indicate nonnegligible improvements in comparison to previous studies for the same region.},
