    • A Comparison of Linear and Nonlinear Random Field Estimators 

      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, 1982-11)
      The estimation of random fields from limited samples is an important issue in most fields of geophysics, such as Hydrology and Meteorology. Work by Matheron and others at the Paris School of Mines has popularized Kriging ...

    • 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, ...
