Landsurface Hydrology Parameterization for Atmospheric General Circulation Models: Inclusion of Subgrid Scale Spatial Variability and Screening with a Simple Climate Model
(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-09)Parameterizations are developed for the representation of subgrid hydrologic processes in atmospheric general circulation models. Reasonable a priori probability density functions of the spatial variability of soil moisture ... -
Physically-based Parameterization of Spatially Variable Soil and Vegetation Using Satellite Multispectral Data
(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-09)A stochastic-geometric landsurface reflectance model is formulated and tested for the parameterization of spatially variable vegetation and soil at subpixel scales using satellite multispectral images without ground truth. ... -
Technology and Policy Issues Involved in the Boston Harbor Cleanup
(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, 1989-11)Introduction: Throughout history, disposing of human wastes has been a problem. In the late 1800's, when communities began to flourish, it was generally believed that human waste was the source of many diseases. The principal ...
