About this title

Synopsis

The atmospheric, hydrologic, and terrestrial components of the earth's systems operate on different time and space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities as well as understanding and modeling the complex interaction of land surface processes at the different scales represents a major challenge for hydrologists, ecologists and meteorologists alike. This book presents the contributions of hydrologists, meteorologists, and ecologists to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloqium on global hydrology and climate change. It deals with time and space scale variations with reference to several topics including soil water balance, ecosystems and interaction of flow systems, and macroscale hydrologic modeling. This book will be of great use to researchers, engineers and forecasters with an interest in space and time scale variability.

Book Description

This book presents the integrated contributions of delegates to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium in connection with the study of global hydrology and climate change. Combining the disciplines of hydrologists, meteorologists and ecologists, the book deals with variations in time and space scales of the earths' atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial systems. Reference is given to soil water balance, ecosystems and interaction of flow systems, and macroscale hydrological modelling, among other topics.
