    • 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, ...

    • 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 ...
