On the evaluation of snow water equivalent estimates over the terrestrial Arctic drainage basin
Comparisons between snow water equivalent (SWE) and river discharge estimates are important in evaluating the SWE fields and to our understanding of linkages in the freshwater cycle. In this study, we compared SWE drawn from land surface models and remote sensing observations with measured river discharge (Q) across 179 Arctic river basins. Over the period 19882000, basin-averaged SWE prior to ...
متن کاملYukon River streamflow response to seasonal snow cover changes
We used remotely sensed weekly snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow cover extent (SCE) data to investigate streamflow response to seasonal snowcover change over the Yukon watershed. We quantified the seasonal cycles and variations of snowcover (both SWE and SCE) and river streamflow, and identified a clear correspondence of river discharge to seasonal snowcover change. We also examined and comp...
متن کاملEnvironmental Hazards Role in Achaemenid Settlements Placement in the Sistan Plain in the Hirmand River Basin
The Sistan Plain for a long time has faced hazards of flood, drought and sandstorm. Also due to existence of abundant water resources it had been one of the important places for men’s placement. So far, no comprehensive study has been done on environmental hazards which would include ways to overcome or decrease their impacts in Achaemenid era. The present survey aims for studying the reciproca...
متن کاملOptimization of runoff Coefficient and Concentration Time in Estimating Flood Discharge Values by SCS Method (Case Study: Catchment Basin of Kohanrood River)
Estimation of floods in a basin with various return periods is one of the effective management strategies for reducing flood damage. One of the methods for estimating flood discharge is to make synthetic unit hydrograph using the physical characteristics of the basin. The more accurate inputs of the model, the more validated results. Hence, in basins in which Instantaneous peak discharge is rec...
متن کاملComparison of Selected Methods Used for the Calculation of the Snowpack Spatial Distribution, Bystřice River Basin, Czechia
KUČEROVÁ, D., JENÍČEK, M. (2014): Comparison of selected methods used for the calculation of the snowpack spatial distribution, Bystřice River basin, Czechia. Geografie, 119, No. 3, pp. 199–217. – The knowledge of the water volume stored in the snowpack, including its spatial distribution, is vital for many hydrological applications. Such information is useful for hydrological forecasts and it ...
