Matched topics: river, water management, flood

Conventional flood control has emphasized structural measures such as levees, reservoirs, and engineered channels—measures that typically simplify river channels and cut them off from their floodplain, both with adverse environmental consequences. Structural measures tend to be rigid and not easily adapted to increased flooding regimes resulting from environmental change. Such actions also limit the natural hydrologic benefits of floodplains such as storing floodwaters, improving water qualit…

Matched topics: climate change

Abstract Adapting to some level of climate change has become unavoidable. However, there is surprisingly limited systematic knowledge about whether and how adaptation policies have diffused and could diffuse in the future. Most existing adaptation studies do not explicitly examine policy diffusion, which is a form of interdependent policy‐making among jurisdictions at the same or across different levels of governance. To address this gap, we offer a new interpretation and assessment of the ex…

on average. Based on the Bayesian modeling of our data, we can say with a certainty of 79%-91% that increase in summertime (May-Sep) temperature has resulted in SOC loss while increased precipitation has resulted in SOC loss with a certainty of 90%-97%. The exact percentages depend on the climate dataset used. Historical land use was found to influence the SOC content for decades after conversion to cropland. Former organic soils with a high SOC-to-fine-fraction ratio were prone to high SOC l…

Abstract Compound hot–dry events—co-occurring hot and dry extremes—frequently cause damages to human and natural systems, often exceeding separate impacts from heatwaves and droughts. Strong increases in the occurrence of these events are projected with warming, but associated uncertainties remain large and poorly understood. Here, using climate model large ensembles, we show that mean precipitation trends exclusively modulate the future occurrence of compound hot–dry events over land. This o…

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, land surface model

Abstract When fitting statistical models to variables in geoscientific disciplines such as hydrology, it is a customary practice to stratify a large domain into multiple regions (or regimes) and study each region separately. Traditional wisdom suggests that models built for each region separately will have higher performance because of homogeneity within each region. However, each stratified model has access to fewer and less diverse data points. Here, through two hydrologic examples (soil mo…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff

Abstract. Hydrological catchment models are important tools that are commonly used as the basis for water resource management planning. In the 1960s and 1970s, the development of several relatively simple models to simulate catchment runoff started, and a number of so-called conceptual (or bucket-type) models were suggested. In these models, the complex and heterogeneous hydrological processes in a catchment are represented by a limited number of storage elements and the fluxes between them. …

Abstract Computational models of the Earth System are critical tools for modern scientific inquiry. Efforts toward evaluating and improving errors in representations of physical and chemical processes in these large computational systems are commonly stymied by highly nonlinear and complex error behavior. Recent work has shown that these errors can be effectively predicted using modern Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) techniques. In this work, we go beyond these previous studies to apply an exp…

Theoretical and empirical evidence against the Budyko catchment trajectory conjecture

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-26-1507-2022 · Citations: 57

Matched topics: streamflow

Abstract. The Budyko framework posits that a catchment’s long-term mean evapotranspiration (ET) is primarily governed by the availabilities of water and energy, represented by long-term mean precipitation (P) and potential evapotranspiration (PET), respectively. This assertion is supported by the distinctive clustering pattern that catchments take in Budyko space. Several semi-empirical, nonparametric curves have been shown to generally represent this clustering pattern but cannot explain dev…

BACKGROUND: Agroforestry bridges the gap that often separates agriculture and forestry by building integrated systems to address both environmental and socio-economic objectives. Existing empirical research has suggested that agroforestry-the integration of trees with crops and/or livestock-can prevent environmental degradation, improve agricultural productivity, increase carbon sequestration, and support healthy soil and healthy ecosystems while providing stable incomes and other benefits to…

Large variations in the growth of atmospheric methane, a prominent greenhouse gas, are driven by a diverse range of anthropogenic and natural emissions and by loss from oxidation by the hydroxyl radical. We used a decade-long dataset (2010-2019) of satellite observations of methane to show that tropical terrestrial emissions explain more than 80% of the observed changes in the global atmospheric methane growth rate over this period. Using correlative meteorological analyses, we show strong se…

Matched topics: hydrology, river

The Tibetan Plateau is sensitive to climate change, but the feedbacks of nitrogen (N) cycling to climate conditions on this plateau are not well-understood, especially under varying degrees of anthropogenic disturbances. The Nujiang River Basin, the last undammed large river basin on the Tibetan Plateau, provides an opportunity to reveal the feedbacks at a broad river basin scale. The isotopic compositions revealed that the conservative mixing of multiple sources controlled the nitrate (NO3-)…

During the past two decades, several studies on arsenic (As) occurrence in the environment, particularly in surface and groundwater systems have reported high levels of As in many African countries. Arsenic concentrations up to 10,000 μg/L have been reported in surface water systems, caused by anthropogenic activities such as mining, industrial effluents, and municipal solid waste disposals. Similarly, concentrations up to 1760 μg/L have been reported in many groundwater systems which account…

Subseasonal Earth System Prediction with CESM2

Authors: Jadwiga H. Richter, Anne A. Glanville, James Edwards, Brian Kauffman, Nicholas Davis, Abigail Jaye et al.

Journal: Weather and Forecasting · DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-21-0163.1 · Citations: 63

Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model

Abstract Prediction systems to enable Earth system predictability research on the subseasonal time scale have been developed with the Community Earth System Model, version 2 (CESM2) using two configurations that differ in their atmospheric components. One system uses the Community Atmosphere Model, version 6 (CAM6) with its top near 40 km, referred to as CESM2(CAM6). The other employs the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, version 6 (WACCM6) whose top extends to ∼140 km, and it include…
