Radiometer used for above canopy radiation measurements in Aptal, Switzerland. An intercomparison with a high level of participation reveals strengths and weaknesses in our current ability to simulate forest snow processes, with implications for meteorological, hydrological, and ecological modeling.

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

Dammed lakes are an important secondary hazard caused by earthquakes. They can induce further damage to nearby humans. Current hydrology calculation research on dammed lakes usually lacks spatial expressive ability and cannot accurately conduct impact assessment without the support of remote sensing, which obtains important characteristic information of dammed lakes. The current study aims to a...

Soil hydrological models are inherently imperfect because they abstract and simplify “real” hydrological patterns and processes. Indeed, an important aim of modeling is to establish the simplest description possible for adequately addressing a particular problem. Also, models are frequently based on input data that are known to be inadequate for some practical purpose. Thus, uncertainties in mo...

Pollution of surface water with harmful chemicals and eutrophication of rivers and lakes with excess nutrients are serious environmental concerns. The U.S. Environmental Protec‐ tion Agency (USEPA) estimated that 53% of the 27% assessed rivers and streams miles and 69% of the 45% assessed lakes, ponds, and reservoirs acreage in the nation are impaired (USEPA, 2010). In Mississippi, 57% of the 5...

abstract flood causes great and uncompressible damage to people’s life and properties as well as environment each year in iran. this research was carried out at the west section of jazmurian basin that placed in the southeast of iran. in this research physical characteristics such as area (a), perimeter (pr), average elevation of basin (av.e), average slope (av.s), gravelious coefficient (g), l...

This study analyzes the significant impacts of typhoons and earthquakes on land cover change and hydrological response. The occurrence of landslides following typhoons and earthquakes is a major indicator of natural disturbance. The hydrological response of the Chenyulan watershed to land use change was assessed from 1996 to 2005. Land use changes revealed by seven remote images corresponded to...
