    • Estimation of Stationary and Non-stationary Random Fields: Kriging in the Analysis of Orographic Precipitation 

      Chua, Siong Huat; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-04)
      The theory of kriging, an optimal linear estimation technique for spatial stochastic processes, is presented and applied to the estimation of mean areal precipitation under stationary and non-stationary mean assumptions. ...

    • Multivariate Seasonal Time Series Forecast with Application to Adaptive Control 

      Curry, Kevin D.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-03)
      A general multivariate model for seasonal riverflow is proposed. The formulation relates discharge at a particular station to current discharge at other stations as well as previous discharges at any station. Additionally, ...

    • The Effects of Annual Storage and Random Potential Evapotranspiration on the One-dimensional Annual Water Balance 

      Metzger, Bernhard H.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-02)
      An analysis is presented leading to the incorporation of storage terms into an existing first-order dynamic water balance. Annual change in storage in the unsaturated zone of an idealized soil column is included through ...
