Matched topics: runoff

Abstract. Conversion of altimetry-derived ice-sheet volume change to mass requires an understanding of the evolution of the combined ice and air content within the firn column. In the absence of suitable techniques to observe the changes to the firn column across the entirety of an ice sheet, the firn column processes are typically modeled. Here, we present new simulations of firn processes over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (GrIS and AIS) using the Community Firn Model and atmospher…

Evaluation of CMIP6 GCMs Over the CONUS for Downscaling Studies

Authors: Moetasim Ashfaq, Deeksha Rastogi, Joy Kitson, Muhammad Adnan Abid, Shih‐Chieh Kao

Journal: Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · DOI: 10.1029/2022jd036659 · Citations: 61

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract Despite the necessity of Global Climate Models (GCMs) sub‐selection in downscaling studies, an objective approach for their selection is currently lacking. Building on the previously established concepts in GCMs evaluation frameworks, we develop a weighted averaging technique to remove the redundancy in the evaluation criteria and rank 37 GCMs from the sixth phase of the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project over the contiguous United States. GCMs are rated based on their average pe…

The relative importance of antecedent soil moisture and precipitation in flood generation in the middle and lower Yangtze River basin

Authors: Qihua Ran, Jin Wang, Xiuxiu Chen, Lin Liu, Jiyu Li, Sheng Ye

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-26-4919-2022 · Citations: 55

Matched topics: river, flood

Abstract. Floods have caused severe environmental and socioeconomic losses worldwide in human history and are projected to exacerbate due to climate change. Many floods are caused by heavy rainfall with highly saturated soil; however, the relative importance of rainfall and antecedent soil moisture and how it changes from place to place has not been fully understood. Here we examined annual floods from more than 200 hydrological stations in the middle and lower Yangtze River basin. Our result…

Tunnel valley formation beneath deglaciating mid-latitude ice sheets: Observations and modelling

Authors: James D. Kirkham, Kelly Hogan, Robert D Larter, Neil Arnold, Jeremy C. Ely, Chris D. Clark et al.

Journal: Quaternary Science Reviews · DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107680 · Citations: 50

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model

The geological record of landforms and sediments produced beneath deglaciating ice sheets offers insights into inaccessible glacial processes. Large subglacial valleys formed by meltwater erosion of sediments (tunnel valleys) are widespread in formerly glaciated regions such as the North Sea. Obtaining a better understanding of these features may help with the parameterisation of basal melt rates and the interplay between basal hydrology and ice dynamics in numerical models of past, present, …

Abstract The application of intensive plasticulture farming has resulted in an increased yield of horticulture crops during the last few decades in the world, particularly in China, Spain, and Italy. Proper monitoring of plastic‐covered greenhouse (PCG) farming areas and plastic‐mulched farmlands (PMF) is necessary for the sustainable development of horticulture, including high‐quality agricultural production in limited areas with cost‐effectiveness, and reduced pollution. The development of …

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the spatiotemporal patterns of land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes on the dynamics of carbon storage in a tropical region of China by linking the trajectory analysis of LULC changes and the InVEST model. Based on remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS) and change trajectories, the spatiotemporal evolution of LULC changes was explored. This evolution could be coupled with the spatiotemporal LULC change trajectories and the InVEST m…

The hierarchy of multiple stressors’ effects on benthic invertebrates: a case study from the rivers Erft and Niers, Germany

Authors: Nele Markert, Barbara Guhl, Christian K. Feld

Journal: Environmental Sciences Europe · DOI: 10.1186/s12302-022-00679-z · Citations: 41

Matched topics: hydrology, river, streamflow

Abstract Background A variety of anthropogenic stressors influences the ecological status of rivers wordwide. Important stressors include elevated concentrations of nutrients, salt ions, heavy metals and other pollutants, habitat degradation and flow alteration. Some stressors tend to remain underrepresented in multiple-stressor studies, which in particular is apparent for micropollutants (e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals) and alterations of the flow regime. This case study analysed and compa…
