We propose a long-term parameterization scheme for two critical parameters, zero-plane displacement height (d) and aerodynamic roughness length (z0m), that we further use in the Surface Energy Balance...
Time series of regional 2° × 2° Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) solutions of surface water mass change have been computed over Africa from 2003 to 2012 with a 10-day resolution by usin...
This volume provides in-depth coverage of the latest in remote sensing of hydrological extremes: both floods and droughts. The book is divided into two distinct sections floods and droughts and offers...
The estimation of large-scale evapotranspiration (ET) is complex, and typically relies on the outputs of land surface models (LSMs) or remote sensing observations. However, over some regions of Africa...
The complexity involved in accurate estimation and numerical simulation of regional evapotranspiration (ET) can lead to inconsistency among techniques, usually attributed to methodological deficiencie...
The availability of hydrologic components data is an important step for hydrological modeling and water resource management in the world, e.g., Runoff. Unfortunately, the in situ observations are very...
The Yanqi basin is the main irrigated and active agroecosystem in semi-arid Xinjiang, northwestern China, which further seeks responses to the profound local water-related drawbacks in relation to the...
The Northern Sub-Saharan African (NSSA) region, which accounts for 20%-25%of the global carbon emissions from biomass burning, also suffers from frequent drought episodes and other disruptions to the ...
Terrestrial water storage changes (TWSCs) retrieved from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission have been extensively evaluated in previous studies over large basin scal...
Terrestrial carbon and water cycles are interactively linked at various spatial and temporal scales. Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a key role in the terrestrial water cycle, altering carbon sequestrat...
Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) data, now available for more than 15 years, as furnished by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission provided remarkable insights into the ...
Summary This study represents the first attempt to examine the spatial and seasonal variations of the surface water budget by using state-of-the-art datasets for sixteen large Canadian drainage basins...
Regional scale water management analysis increasingly relies on integrated modeling tools. Much recent work has focused on groundwater?surface water interactions and feedbacks. However, to our knowled...
Precipitation minus evapotranspiration, the net flux of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface, links atmospheric and terrestrial water budgets and thus represents an important boundary cond...
Over 50% of the world's population live within 3 km of rivers and lakes highlighting the on-going importance of freshwater resources to human health and societal well-being. Whilst covering c. 3.5% of...
Lidar-measured snow depth and model-estimated snow density can be combined to map snow water equivalent (SWE). This approach has the potential to transform research and operations in snow-dominated re...
Large-scale water balance in the Australian continent is examined over an 8-year period (2003–2010) with three commonly used satellite based water cycle components: precipitation (P) from the Tropical...
GPS monitoring of solid Earth deformation due to surface loading is an independent approach for estimating seasonal changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS). In western United States (WUSA) mountain...
Expert elicitation with the participation of 35 experts was used to estimate a water balance for the nested Ahlergaarde and Holtum catchments in Western Denmark. Average annual values of precipitation...
Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the key variables in water cycle and ecological systems, whereas it is difficult to quantify ET variations from traditional observations in large river basins, e.g., ...
