Terrahidro - A Distributed Hydrological System to delimit large basins
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes TerraHidro that is a distributed hydrologic modeling platform. TerraHidro is general purpose water resources system that presents a new concept to represent water flows based on graph structure, in the geographic information system (GIS) context. The drainage extractions and Amazonian basin delimitations using TerraHidro have been compared with ArcGis Hydro Tools regarding to drainage extractions and to show the TerraHidro availability the drainage of Amazonian sub basins, called Xingu, Purus and Tapajos are presented.

Integrating Remote Sensing Information Into A Distributed Hydrological Model for Improving Water Budget Predictions in Large-scale Basins through Data Assimilation
This paper investigates whether remote sensing evapotranspiration estimates can be integrated by means of data assimilation into a distributed hydrological model for improving the predictions of spatial water distribution over a large river basin with an area of 317,800 km2. A series of available MODIS satellite images over the Haihe River basin in China are used for the year 2005. Evapotranspi...
متن کاملExtreme heat and runoff extremes in the Swiss Alps
The hydrological response of Swiss river basins to the 2003 European summer heatwave was evaluated by a combined analysis of historical discharge records and specific applications of distributed hydrological modeling. In the summer of 2003, the discharge from headwater streams of the Swiss Central Plateau was only 40%–60% of the longterm average. For alpine basins runoff was about 60%–80% of th...
متن کاملExtraction of process-based topographic model units using SRTM elevation data for Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) in different landscapes
The concept of this research is justified to the integration of landscape components for hydrological modelling within distributed models. Distributed models are based on homogeneous entities which are delineated using landscape parameters such as topography, land use, soil, and geology. In ungauged basins most of these required data are only available on a coarse spatial resolution. In order t...
متن کاملCoupling a distributed grid based hydrological model and MM5 meteorological model for flooding alert mapping
The increased number of extreme rainfall events seems to be one of the common feature of climate change signal all over the world (Easterlin et al., 2000; Meehl et al., 2000). In the last few years a large number of floods caused by extreme meteorological events has been observed over the river basins of Mediterranean area and they mainly affected small basins (few hundreds until few thousands ...
متن کاملSpatial Calibration and Temporal Validation of Flow for Regional Scale Hydrologic Modeling
Physically based regional scale hydrologic modeling is gaining importance for planning and management of water resources. Calibration and validation of such regional scale model is necessary before applying it for scenario assessment. However, in most regional scale hydrologic modeling, flow validation is performed at the river basin outlet without accounting for spatial variations in hydrologi...
