Analyse multirsolution croise de pluies et dbits de sources karstiques

In order to quantify the quality of the rainfall/discharge relationship across time-scales, we propose the use of both orthogonal wavelet multiresolution analysis and cross-correlation analysis. By using the two techniques together, it is possible to show, scale-by-scale, the influence of the input to the system (rainfall) on the response (discharge) of the aquifer and also to relate these results to the internal structure of the aquifer and to the degree of organisation of the karst drainage. An application of this method to three Pyrenean karsts is also shown. To cite this article: D. Labat et al., C. R. Geoscience 334 (2002) 551–556.
