Abstract We provide a description and concise evaluation of the European Centre of Medium‐range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v.5 (ERA5) global reanalysis from an additional extension back to 1940 that was released in March 2023, including its timely updates to the end of 2022. The ERA5 product from 1979 to end 2020 and a preliminary back extension from 1950 to 1978 have already been described elsewhere. The new back extension that spans 1940 to 1978 represents the official release and superse…

As research on the full spectrum of ecosystem service (ES) generation and utilization within coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) has expanded, many studies have shown that the spatiotemporal dynamics of ESs are managed and influenced by human activities. However, there is insufficient research on how ESs are affected by bidirectional coupling between societal and ecological factors during spatial flow, particularly in terms of cross-scale impacts. These bidirectional influences between …

Abstract. Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process-based and empirical models, thereby enabling the assessment of soil hydraulic effects on hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological processes. At least more than 4 decades of research have been invested to derive such relationships. However, while models, methods, data storage capacity, and computational e…

Uncovering Historical Reservoir Operation Rules and Patterns: Insights From 452 Large Reservoirs in the Contiguous United States
Authors: Donghui Li, Yanan Chen, Lingqi Lyu, Ximing Cai
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2023wr036686 · Citations: 29
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, reservoir
Abstract Reservoir operations are influenced by hydroclimatic variability, reservoir characteristics (i.e., size and purpose), policy regulation, as well as operators’ experiences and justification. Data‐driven reservoir operation models based on long‐term historical records shed light on understanding reservoir operation rules and patterns. This study applies generic data‐driven reservoir operation models (GDROMs) developed for 452 data‐rich reservoirs with diversified operation purposes acr…

Matched topics: river
Abstract Objectively and accurately identifying the spatial structure and protection scope of intangible cultural heritage and constructing intangible cultural heritage corridors are crucial for the comprehensive systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage and the synergistic development of the region. However, the current research on intangible cultural heritage is limited to the protection and development of intangible cultural heritage in specific locations or specific areas. Thu…

Matched topics: runoff
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are outbreaks of aquatic toxic microalgae emerging as a global problem driven by nutrient enrichment, global climate change and invasive species. We uniquely describe a HAB of unprecedented duration, extent and magnitude during 2023 in Lough Neagh; the UK and Ireland’s largest freshwater lake, using an unparalleled combination of satellite imagery, nutrient analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and cyanotoxin profiling. The causative agent Microcystis aeruginosa accou…
Monthly Monitoring of Inundated Areas and Water Storage Dynamics in China’s Large Reservoirs Using Multisource Remote Sensing
Authors: Yongzhe Chen, Yiming Wang, Luoqi Li, Yanhong Cui, Xingwu Duan, Di Long
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2023wr036450 · Citations: 23
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, reservoir
Abstract High‐frequency monitoring of reservoir inundation and water storage changes is crucial for reservoir functionality assessment and hydrological model calibration. Although the integration of optical data with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscattering coefficients (backscatters) offers an effective approach, conventional methods struggle to consistently provide accurate retrievals over diverse regions and seasons. In this study, we introduce reservoir‐ and monthly‐specific classifi…
A new flow path: eDNA connecting hydrology and biology

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized ecological research, particularly for biodiversity assessment in various environments, most notably aquatic media. Environmental DNA analysis allows for non‐invasive and rapid species detection across multiple taxonomic groups within a single sample, making it especially useful for identifying rare or invasive species. Due to dynamic hydrological processes, eDNA samples from running waters may represent biodiversity from broad contributing areas, wh…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health hazard. Although clinical and agricultural environments are well-established contributors to the evolution and dissemination of AMR, research on wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) has highlighted their potential role as disseminators of AMR in freshwater environments. Using metagenomic sequencing and analysis, we investigated the changes in resistomes and associated mobile genetic elements within untreated wastewater influents and treated effl…

The Drivers of Hydrologic Behavior in Brazil: Insights From a Catchment Classification
Authors: André Almagro, Antônio Alves Meira Neto, Noemi Vergopolan, Tirthankar Roy, P. A. Troch, Paulo Tarso Sanches de Oliveira
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2024wr037212 · Citations: 20
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, earth system model
Abstract Despite hosting ∼16% of the global freshwater and almost 50% of water resources in South America, Brazilian catchment‐scale relationships between drivers and streamflow are still poorly understood. Here, we used streamflow signatures and attributes of 735 catchments from the Catchment Attributes for Brazil data set to investigate the dominant hydrological processes for the catchments. We also assess how catchments group based on hydrologic behavior similarities and analyze which clim…

Abstract Satellite remote sensing enhances model predictions by providing insights into terrestrial and hydrological processes. While data assimilation techniques have proven promising, there is a lack of standardized and effective approaches for integrating multiple observations simultaneously. This study presents a novel assimilation framework, the multi‐observation local ensemble‐Kalman‐filter (MoLEnKF), designed to effectively integrate multiple variables, even at scales different than th…
Streamflow Intermittence in Europe: Estimating High‐Resolution Monthly Time Series by Downscaling of Simulated Runoff and Random Forest Modeling
Authors: Petra Döll, Mahdi Abbasi, Mathis Messager, Tim Trautmann, Bernhard Lehner, Nicolas Lamouroux
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2023wr036900 · Citations: 19
Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow
Abstract Knowing where and when rivers cease to flow provides an important basis for evaluating riverine biodiversity, biogeochemistry and ecosystem services. We present a novel modeling approach to estimate monthly time series of streamflow intermittence at high spatial resolution at the continental scale. Streamflow intermittence is quantified at more than 1.5 million river reaches in Europe as the number of no‐flow days grouped into five classes (0, 1–5, 6–15, 16–29, 30–31 no‐flow days) fo…
