Abstract Dynamical downscaling generally performs poorly on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), due to region’s complex topography and several aspects of model physics, especially convection land surface processes. This study investigated effects cumulus parameterization scheme (CPS) land-surface hydrology (LSHS) TP climate simulation during wet season using RegCM4 regional model. To address these issues...

An approach to distributed modeling of watershed hydro-ecological processes over large spatial scales is described. A data and simulation system, RHESSys (Regional HydroEcological Simulation System), combines a se...

The land surface parameterization used with the community climate model (CCM3) and the climate system model (CSM1), the National Center for Atmospheric Research land surface model (NCAR LSM1), has been modified as part of the development of the next version of these climate models. This new model is known as the community land model (CLM2). In CLM2, the surface is represented by five primary su...

The growing availability of digital topographic data and the increased reliability of precipitation forecasts invite modelling efforts to predict the timing and location of shallow landslides in hilly and mountainous areas in order to reduce risk to an ever-expanding human population. Here, we exploit a rare data set to develop and test such a model. In a 1·7 km catchment a near-annual aerial p...

The first part of this work deals with the most important runoff generation processes and their spatial and temporal distribution in the study area, the catchment of the Duerreychbach, Northern Black Forest, Germany: The perennial springs generate the entire base flow in the study area. A direct interaction of base flow and surface runoff could not be proven. Only for extreme events ( > HQ1) an...

Predictions of catchment hydrology have been performed generally using either physically based, distributed models or conceptual lumped or semi-distributed models. In recognition of the disadvantages of using either of these modeling approaches, namely, detailed data requirements in the case of distributed modeling, and lack of physical basis of conceptual/lumped model parameters, Reggiani et a...
