Mathematical models for surface water hydrology

GEO387H – Literature Review: Land surface Models and Surface Water Hydrology

Modeling Surface Hydrology for Global Water Cycle Simulations

The role of the river in global water cycles and the modeling of horizontal water transport by rivers in the global scale are discussed. Due to the consolidation of various hydrological information about the planet, it is possible now to monitor and simulate the quantity of water carried by rivers. Land surface models, that were developed originally for giving the boundary condition of the atmo...

Surface Hydrology in Global Climate Models: How Good is It?

Land surface schemes are used in general circulation models (GCMs) to simulate the surface processes and the surface-atmosphere interactions. This paper addresses several aspects of land surface modelling from a hydrological perspective. It investigates the energy and water fluxes estimated by a typical land surface scheme (CSIRO9) for the Amazon and Mississippi River Basins, using river runoff...

CONTENTS • There are apparent trends in streamflow volume—both increases and decreases—in many regions. These trends cannot all be definitively attributed to changes in regional temperature or precipitation. However, widespread accelerated glacier retreat and shifts in streamflow timing in many areas from spring to winter are more likely to be associated with climate change. • The effect of cli...
