Abstract: It is now widely recognized that tropical deforestation can change the regional climate significantly. The increasing population and the spreading deforestation in the Indochina Peninsula, especially in Thailand, make it ...

Abstract: A distributed biosphere hydrological (DBH) model system was used to explore the internal relations among the climate system, human society, and the hydrological system in the Yellow River basin, and to interpret possible ...

Abstract: A simple algorithm is presented for transferring root-zone soil moisture from surface soil moisture data on a global scale. Analysis of offline soil moisture data shows that the climatological relationship between surface ...

Abstract: The effects of natural and anthropogenic heterogeneity on a hydrological simulation are evaluated using a distributed biosphere hydrological model (DBHM) system. The DBHM embeds a biosphere model into a distributed ...

Abstract: This study reveals the mathematical structure of a statistical index, Ω, that quantifies similarity among ensemble members in a weather forecast. Previous approaches for quantifying predictability estimate separately the ...

Abstract: redictability of above-normal rainfall over Thailand during the rainy season of 2011 was investigated with a one-tier seasonal prediction system based on an atmosphere?ocean coupled general circulation model (CGCM) combined ...

Abstract: Outputs from two ensembles of atmospheric model simulations for 1951?98 define the influence of ?realistic? land surface wetness on seasonal precipitation predictability in boreal summer. The ensembles consist of one forced ...

Abstract: he study demonstrates that the temporal downscaling of rain gauge?measured precipitation with satellite-based precipitation estimates enhances the accuracy of hydrological simulations, especially for flood duration. Multiple ...

Abstract: nthropogenic activities have been significantly perturbing global freshwater flows and groundwater reserves. Despite numerous advances in the development of land surface models (LSMs) and global terrestrial hydrological ...
