Abstract: The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface hydrology model forced by gridded observed precipitation and temperature for the period 1979?99 is used to simulate the land surface water balance of the La Plata basin ...

Abstract: The results of simulation experiments are reported in which two 1° lat ? 1° long regions were discretized into pixels of size roughly 180 m ? 120 m and modeled using a hydrologically based, spatially distributed water and ...

Abstract: Studying the role of land surface conditions in the Mexican portion of the North American monsoon system (NAMS) region has been a challenge due to the paucity of long-term observations. A long-term gridded observation-based ...

Abstract: River runoff to the Arctic Ocean has increased over the last century, primarily during the winter and spring and primarily from the major Eurasian rivers. Some recent studies have suggested that the additional runoff is ...

Abstract: Streamflow forecasting is critical to water resources management in the western United States. Yet, despite the passage of almost 50 years since the development of the first computerized hydrologic simulation models and ...

Abstract: Precipitation in remote mountainous areas dominates the water balance of many water-short areas of the globe, such as western North America. The inaccessibility of such environments prevents adequate measurement of the ...
