    • A Second-order Budyko-type Parameterization of Landsurface Hydrology 

      Andreou, Stefanos A.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-06)
      This work develops a simple, second-order parameterization of the water fluxes at a landsurface for use as the appropriate boundary condition in general circulation models of the global atmosphere. The derived parameterization ...

    • A Precipitation Model and Its Use in Real-time River Flow Forecasting 

      Georgakakos, Konstantine P.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory , Hydrology and Water Resources Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-07)
      A one-dimensional, physically based, station precipitation model is proposed and tested. The model state variable is the liquid water equivalent mass in a unit area cloud column. Model inputs are the air temperature, ...

    • The Linear Channel and Its Effect on the Geomorphologic IUH 

      Kirshen, Diana M; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology ad Water Resource Systems . Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-06)
      The Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH) is derived as a function of the basin's geomorphological and physiographic characteristics. Inherent in the basin IUH is the response of the individual channels composing the basin. ...
