RISModeling Terrestrial Hydrological Systems at the Continental Scale: Testing the Accuracy of an Atmospheric GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global hydrological routing algorithm (HYDRA) that simulates seasonal river discharge and changes in surface water level on a spatial resolution of 5? long ? 5? lat is presented. The model is based on previous work by ...
Simulating Continental Surface Waters: An Application to Holocene Northern Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model (SWAM) to predict surface waters (lakes and wetlands) on the scale of atmospheric general circulation models is developed. SWAM is based on a linear reservoir hydrologic model and is driven by runoff, precipitation, ...
The Hydrologic Cycle of Major Continental Drainage and Ocean Basins: A Simulation of the Modern and Mid-Holocene Conditions and a Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Each continental grid box of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) community climate model (CCM1) is assigned to a particular continental drainage basin based on river basin extent and river flow direction. ...
Impacts of Climate Variation and Catchment Area on Water Balance and Lake Hydrologic Type in Groundwater-Dominated Systems: A Generic Lake Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lakes are a major geologic feature in humid regions, and multiple lake hydrologic types exist with varying physical and chemical characteristics, connections among lakes, and relationships to the landscape. The authors ...
Estimating Seasonal Changes in Volumetric Soil Water Content at Landscape Scales in a Savanna Ecosystem Using Two-Dimensional Resistivity Profiling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water distributed in deep soil reservoirs is an important factor determining the ecosystem structure of water-limited environments, such as the seasonal tropical savannas of South America. In this study a two-dimensional ...
