Space and Time Scale Variability and Interdependencies in Hydrological Processes

Description: Space and Time Scale Variability and Interdependencies in Hydrological Processes by Reinder A. Feddes Combining the disciplines of hydrologists, meteorologists and ecologists, this book deals with variations in time and space scales of the Earths atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial systems. Presents the integrated contributions of the delegates of the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book presents the integrated contributions of hydrologists, meteorologists and ecologists to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium in connection with the study of global hydrology and climate change. The atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial components of the Earths systems operate on different time and space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities, as well as understanding and modelling the complex interaction of land surface processes at the different scales, represent a major challenge for hydrologists, ecologists and meteorological scientists alike. This book deals with time and space scale variations with reference to several topics including: soil water balance; ecosystems and interaction of flow systems; and macroscale hydrological modelling. This book will be of great use to researchers, engineers and forecasters with an interest in space and time scale variability. Table of Contents 1.
