Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Snow Hydrology describes the factors that control the accumulation, melting and runoff of water from seasonal snowpacks over the surface of the earth. The book addresses not only the basic principles governing snow in the hydrologic cycle, but also the latest applications of remote sensing, and techniques for modeling streamflow from snowmelt across large mixed land-use river basins. Individual chapters are devoted to climatology and distribution of snow, snowpack energy exchange, snow chemistry, ground-based measurements and remote sensing of snowpack characteristics, snowpack management, and modeling snowmelt runoff. Many chapters have review questions and problems with solutions available online. This book is a reference book for practicing water resources managers and a text for advanced hydrology and water resources courses which span fields such as engineering, earth sciences, meteorology, biogeochemistry, forestry and range management, and water resources planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainfall-Runoff Modelling: The Primer, Second Edition is the follow-up of this popular and authoritative text, first published in 2001. The book provides both a primer for the novice and detailed descriptions of techniques for more advanced practitioners, covering rainfall-runoff models and their practical applications. This new edition extends these aims to include additional chapters dealing with prediction in ungauged basins, predicting residence time distributions, predicting the impacts of change and the next generation of hydrological models. Giving a comprehensive summary of available techniques based on established practices and recent research the book offers a thorough and accessible overview of the area. Rainfall-Runoff Modelling: The Primer Second Edition focuses on predicting hydrographs using models based on data and on representations of hydrological process. Dealing with the history of the development of rainfall-runoff models, uncertainty in mode predictions, good and bad practice and ending with a look at how to predict future catchment hydrological responses this book provides an essential underpinning of rainfall-runoff modelling topics. Fully revised and updated version of this highly popular text Suitable for both novices in the area and for more advanced users and developers Written by a leading expert in the field Guide to internet sources for rainfall-runoff modelling software
Download or read book Recent Advances in the Modeling of Hydrologic Systems written by D.S Bowles and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling of the rainfall-runoff process is of both scientific and practical significance. Many of the currently used mathematical models of hydrologic systems were developed a genera tion ago. Much of the effort since then has focused on refining these models rather than on developing new models based on improved scientific understanding. In the past few years, however, a renewed effort has been made to improve both our fundamental understanding of hydrologic processes and to exploit technological advances in computing and remote sensing. It is against this background that the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Recent Advances in the Modeling of Hydrologic Systems was organized. The idea for holding a NATO ASI on this topic grew out of an informal discussion between one of the co-directors and Professor Francisco Nunes-Correia at a previous NATO ASI held at Tucson, Arizona in 1985. The Special Program Panel on Global Transport Mechanisms in the Geo-Sciences of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division agreed to sponsor the ASI and an organizing committee was formed. The committee comprised the co directors, Professor David S. Bowles (U.S.A.) and Professor P. Enda O'Connell (U.K.), and Professor Francisco Nunes-Correia (Portugal), Dr. Donn G. DeCoursey (U.S.A.), and Professor Ezio Todini (Italy).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Science and Application Series, Volume 6. During the past four decades, computer-based mathematical models of watershed hydrology have been widely used for a variety of applications including hydrologic forecasting, hydrologic design, and water resources management. These models are based on general mathematical descriptions of the watershed processes that transform natural forcing (e.g., rainfall over the landscape) into response (e.g., runoff in the rivers). The user of a watershed hydrology model must specify the model parameters before the model is able to properly simulate the watershed behavior.

Book excerpt: It has been estimated that, as a result of natural disasters, during the 1970s and 1980s three million lives were lost worldwide, the number of disasters increased threefold, the economic losses per decade almost doubled and the insurance losses quadrupled. In the light of these figures, the United Nations proclaimed the 1990s as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction and this book focuses on the British contribution to the Decade and is supplemented by papers from America, Asia, Europe and Africa.
Download or read book A Comparison Between Binary and Fractional Snow cover Products for Simulating Streamflow in the Snowmelt Runoff Model written by Kenneth S. Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) is an important hydrological tool for snowmelt modeling and streamflow forecasts. Several snowmelt models, including SRM, rely on remotely sensed snow-cover extent as an input data set. The goal of this study was to evaluate the accuracies of two independent snow mapping algorithms derived from identical Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images as inputs into SRM. Here, snow-cover estimates from a simple binary snow-covered area (BSCA) algorithm are compared to estimates from the more computationally intensive Thematic Mapper Snow-Covered Area and Grain Size (TMSCAG) algorithm, which computes sub-pixel fractional snow-cover. The SRM was run in two basins located in Rocky Mountain National park, the headwaters of the Big Thompson River (357.4 km2) for five snowmelt seasons, and Loch Vale basin (6.9 km2) for four snowmelt seasons. In the Big Thompson basin, a significantly greater difference (paired two sample for means t-test) in mean snow-covered area (SCA) was calculated using the BSCA method in three of four SRM Elevation Zones from an average of 38 TM images. In the Loch Vale basin, a significantly greater mean SCA was calculated using the TMSCAG method in one of two SRM Elevation Zones. The difference in SCA between snow mapping methods is greatest in more heavily forested regions, with a greater mean SCA calculated from the BSCA method in these zones. Both snow mapping techniques produced satisfactory R2 values (Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient) and differences in total runoff volume D[subscript v] values were 0.89, -5.3% and 0.88, 2.6% for the BSCA and TMSCAG methods, respectively. In the Loch Vale basin the respective values were 0.82, 9.8% and 0.85, 6.0% for the BSCA and TMSCAG methods. The snow water equivalences (SWE) were reconstructed from the accumulated zonal melt depths of each snow mapping technique only in Elevation Zone-2 of the Big Thompson basin and compared with in situ SWE measurements from two SNOTEL sites (Bear Lake and Willow Park), both located within that Elevation Zone. The TMSCAG method reconstructed SWE was on average 11.7% less than measured SNOTEL SWE, while the BSCA method over-calculated SWE by an average of 55.4%. While both snow mapping methods produced satisfactory results in SRM, the TMSCAG method in general outperformed the BSCA method in R2, D[subscript v], and SWE reconstruction. While the accuracies of the two snow mapping algorithms where not assessed, the SWE reconstruction acted as a pseudo validation measurement.
