    • Eulerian-Lagrangian Analysis of Pollutant Transport in Shallow Water 

      Baptista, Antonio E. de M.; Adams, E. Eric; Stolzenbach, Keith D. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-06)
      A numerical method for the solution of the two-dimensional, unsteady, transport equation is formulated, and its accuracy is tested. The method uses a Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, in which the transport equation is divided ...

    • Nonlinear Filtering, Parameter Estimation and Decomposition of Large Rainfall-Runoff Models 

      Angulo, Carlos Enrique Puente; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-10)
      Three topics related to the real time forecasting of river flows are studied. First, the usefulness of nonlinear filtering procedures in connection with a conceptual rainfall-runoff model is investigated. By means of a ...

    • SWAHP: A Soil Water and Heat Parameterization 

      Milly, P. Christopher D. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-02)
      SWAHP is an efficient algorithm for prediction of moisture and heat fluxes across a bare soil surface. Surface moisture flux is calculated using the time compression assumption in conjunction with special solutions of the ...
