Matched topics: drought, land surface model, climate change, earth system model

Flash droughts have occurred frequently worldwide, with a rapid onset that challenges drought monitoring and forecasting capabilities. However, there is no consensus on whether flash droughts have become the new normal because slow droughts may also increase. In this study, we show that drought intensification rates have sped up over subseasonal time scales and that there has been a transition toward more flash droughts over 74% of the global regions identified by the Intergovernmental Panel …

since 2010) that are unprecedented in at least 120 years. We show that this acceleration is primarily induced by an ocean dynamic signal exceeding the externally forced response from historical climate model simulations. However, when the simulated forced response is removed from observations, the residuals are neither historically unprecedented nor inconsistent with internal variability in simulations. A large fraction of the residuals is consistent with wind driven Rossby waves in the tropi…

Matched topics: hydrology, land surface model

The water cycle around the globe is significantly impacted by the moisture in the soil. However, finding a quick and practical model to cope with the enormous amount of data is a difficult issue for remote sensing practitioners. The traditional methods of measuring soil moisture are inefficient at large sizes, which can be replaced by remote sensing techniques for obtaining soil moisture. While determining the soil moisture, the low return frequency of satellites and the lack of images pose a…

Authors: Sylvia Dee, Adriana Bailey, Jessica L. Conroy, Alyssa R. Atwood, Samantha Stevenson, Jesse Nusbaumer et al.

Journal: Environmental Research Climate · DOI: 10.1088/2752-5295/accbe1 · Citations: 57

Matched topics: hydrologic model

Abstract The hydrologic cycle is a fundamental component of the climate system with critical societal and ecological relevance. Yet gaps persist in our understanding of water fluxes and their response to increased greenhouse gas forcing. The stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen in water provide a unique opportunity to evaluate hydrological processes and investigate their role in the variability of the climate system and its sensitivity to change. Water isotopes also form the basis of …

Land use/land cover change impact on streamflow using Arc-SWAT model, in case of Fetam watershed, Abbay Basin, Ethiopia

Authors: Yitbarek Andualem Mekonnen, Temesgen Mekuriaw Manderso

Journal: Applied Water Science · DOI: 10.1007/s13201-023-01914-5 · Citations: 30

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, water management

Abstract Changes in Land Use Land Cover (LULC) are currently one of the greatest pressing issues facing the watershed, its hydrological properties of soil, and water management in catchment areas. One of the most important elements impacting streamflow in watersheds is LULC change. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect and future predication of LULC change on streamflow of the Fetam watershed by using Cellular Automata (CA)-Markov in IDRISI software. To analyze the impac…
