Quantitative analysis of changes in Lhasa River runoff components was significant to local water resources management. This study constructed the spatial processes hydrology (SPHY) model Basin and optimized model’s parameters using hydrograph partitioning curves (HPC) method. The Basin’s precipitation temperature were forecasted for 2020 2100 statistical downscaling (SDSM) two scenarios from fi...

An improved statistical-dynamical downscaling method for the regionalization of large-scale climate analyses or simulations is introduced. The method is based on the disaggregation of a multi-year time-series of large-scale meteorological data into multi-day episodes of quasistationary circulation. The episodes are subsequently grouped into a de®ned number of classes. A regional model is used t...

A key challenge in climate modeling is the assessment of the impact of global climate variables on regional weather measurements such as temperature and precipitation. This assessment is usually done by downscaling the output of (coarse resolution) global climate models to regional (high resolution) predictions. There are two independent downscaling pathways: dynamic and statistical. Dynamic do...

The agriculture sector in Africa is dominated by small-scale farmers who account for about 80% of the total farms. However, are vulnerable to climate change and variability. Their high susceptibility emanates from their inadequate ability adapt change. As a result, generally adversely impacted due over-reliance on rainfed natural resources. This exposure susceptibility, however, differ across r...

Soil erosion is an increasingly issue worldwide, due to several factors including climate variations and humans’ activities, especially in Mediterranean ecosystems. Therefore, the aim of this paper is: (i) quantify predict soil rate for baseline period (2000–2013) a future (2014–2027), using Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model R’Dom watershed Morocco, base...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are a major tool used for future projections of climate change using different emission scenarios. However, for assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change at the watershed and the regional scale, ...
