Are streamflow recession characteristics really characteristic? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Streamflow recession has been investigated by a variety of methods, often involving the fit of a model to empirical recession plots to parameterize a non-linear storage–outflow relationship based on the d<i>Q</i>/d<i>t</i>−<i ...

Streamflow trends in Europe: evidence from a dataset of near-natural catchments [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Streamflow observations from near-natural catchments are of paramount importance for detection and attribution studies, evaluation of large-scale model simulations, and assessment of water management, adaptation and policy options.

A global data set of the extent of irrigated land from 1900 to 2005 [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Irrigation intensifies land use by increasing crop yield but also impacts water resources. It affects water and energy balances and consequently the microclimate in irrigated regions.

Assessment of spatial uncertainty of heavy rainfall at catchment scale using a dense gauge network [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Hydrology and remote-sensing communities have made use of dense rain-gauge networks for studying rainfall uncertainty and variability. However, in most regions, these dense networks are only available at small spatial scales (e.g., within remote-sensing ...

Increase in flood risk resulting from climate change in a developed urban watershed – the role of storm temporal patterns [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 The effects of climate change are causing more frequent extreme rainfall events and an increased risk of flooding in developed areas. Quantifying this increased risk is of critical importance for the protection of life and property as well as for ...

Multivariate bias adjustment of high-dimensional climate simulations: the Rank Resampling for Distributions and Dependences (R2D2) bias correction [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Climate simulations often suffer from statistical biases with respect to observations or reanalyses. It is therefore common to correct (or adjust) those simulations before using them as inputs into impact models.

The 2010–2015 megadrought in central Chile: impacts on regional hydroclimate and vegetation [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Since 2010 an uninterrupted sequence of dry years, with annual rainfall deficits ranging from 25 to 45 %, has prevailed in central Chile (western South America, 30–38° S). Although intense 1- or 2-year droughts are recurrent in this Mediterranean-like

Assessing the hydrologic response to wildfires in mountainous regions [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 This study aims to understand the hydrologic responses to wildfires in mountainous regions at various spatial scales. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to evaluate the hydrologic responses of the upper Cache la Poudre Watershed in ...
