Recent changes to Arctic river discharge. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2021
AbstractArctic rivers drain ~15% of the global land surface and significantly influence local communities and economies, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and global climate. However, trusted and public knowledge of pan-Arctic rivers is inadequate, especially for small rivers and across Eurasia, inhibiting understanding of the Arctic response to ...

Discharge estimation in a backwater affected meandering river [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011
Variable effects of backwaters complicate the development of rating curves at hydrometric measurement stations. In areas influenced by backwater, single-parameter rating curve techniques are often inapplicable.

Seasonal behaviour of tidal damping and residual water level slope in the Yangtze River estuary: identifying the critical position and river discharge for maximum tidal damping [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
As a tide propagates into the estuary, river discharge affects tidal damping, primarily via a friction term, attenuating tidal motion by increasing the quadratic velocity in the numerator, while reducing the effective friction by increasing the water ...

Determination of river design discharge (Tar River case study) [PDF]

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2021
Rivers are usually exposed to floods that cause significant human and financial loss, for which structures are considered in the rivers for preventing floods and reducing damage. In this way, it is necessary to acquire design discharge for building these

Assessing river discharge dynamics through relative surface water extent changes in river basins [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Surface water in rivers is vital for human society. However, our current understanding of the dynamics and drivers of river flows relies predominantly on stream gauging data, which are limited in spatial coverage and involve significant costs ...

Estimating river discharge from earth observation measurements of river surface hydraulic variables [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011
River discharge is a key variable for quantifying the water cycle, its fluxes and stocks at different scales. These scales range from a local scale for the efficient management of water resources to a global scale for the monitoring of climate change ...

Assimilation of transformed water surface elevation to improve river discharge estimation in a continental-scale river [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Quantifying continental-scale river discharge is essential for understanding the terrestrial water cycle, but it is susceptible to errors caused by a lack of observations and the limitations of hydrodynamic modeling.

Towards improving river discharge estimation in ungauged basins: calibration of rainfall-runoff models based on satellite observations of river flow width at basin outlet [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Rainfall-runoff models are common tools for river discharge estimation in the field of hydrology. In ungauged basins, the dependence on observed river discharge data for calibration restricts applications of rainfall-runoff models. The strong correlation

Effects of precipitation uncertainty on discharge calculations for main river basins [PDF]

, 2009
This study quantifies the uncertainty in discharge calculations caused by uncertainty in precipitation input for 294 river basins worldwide. Seven global gridded precipitation datasets are compared at river basin scale in terms of mean annual and ...

Accounting for dispersal and local habitat when evaluating tributary use by riverine fishes

Ecosphere, 2021
Conservation practitioners increasingly recognize the conservation value of tributaries for supporting mainstem, large‐river specialist fishes. A tributary’s discharge at its mouth is a coarse indicator of the richness of large‐river specialists found ...
