    • The Coupled Transport of Water and Heat in a Vertical Soil Column Under Atmospheric Excitation 

      Milly, P. Christopher D.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-07)
      The purpose of this work is to develop a detailed, physically-based model of the response of the land surface to atmospheric forcing. The coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations governing mass and heat transport ...

    • Estimation of Stationary and Non-stationary Random Fields: Kriging in the Analysis of Orographic Precipitation 

      Chua, Siong Huat; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-04)
      The theory of kriging, an optimal linear estimation technique for spatial stochastic processes, is presented and applied to the estimation of mean areal precipitation under stationary and non-stationary mean assumptions. ...

    • Multivariate Seasonal Time Series Forecast with Application to Adaptive Control 

      Curry, Kevin D.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-03)
      A general multivariate model for seasonal riverflow is proposed. The formulation relates discharge at a particular station to current discharge at other stations as well as previous discharges at any station. Additionally, ...
