    • 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. ...

    • Infiltration and Evaporation at Inhomogeneous Land Surfaces 

      Milly, P. Christopher D.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Report / Ralph M. Parson Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-06)
      The local response of the land surface to atmospheric forcing is determined by the surface parameters, the surface state, and the forcing. Because these factors are highly variable at length scales smaller than those of ...

    • Linked Hydrodynamic and Biogeochemical Models of Water Quality in Shallow Lakes 

      Shanahan, Peter; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-03)
      Approaches to lake water quality modeling are critically examined with particular attention to the formulation of water quality transport as the link between hydrodynamics and biogeochemical reaction. A linked water quality ...
