    • Solar Pond Feasibility Study for Egypt: Preliminary Report 

      Salhotra, Atul; Adams, E. Eric; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-01)
      The report presents a preliminary feasibility study for salt gradient solar ponds in Egypt. Chapter 1 gives a brief review of the technical and economic aspects of solar ponds. Chapter 2 includes a discussion of the ongoing ...

    • 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 ...
