Description: Space and Time Scale Variability and Interdependencies in Hydrological Processes Examines variations in space and time of the Earth's atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial systems. Reinder A. Feddes (Edited by) 9780521022934, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 24 November 2005 196 pages 29.6 x 20.7 x 1 cm, 0.477 kg 'This book should make a useful contribution towards bringing hydrology and meteorology closer together, giving hydrologists and meteorologists insight into the methods and philosophy of each other's subjects.' John H. C. Gash, International Journal of Climatology This book presents the integrated contributions of hydrologists, meteorologists and ecologists to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium in connection with the study of global hydrology and climate change. The atmospherical, hydrological and terrestrial components of the Earth's systems operate on different time and space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities, as well as understanding and modelling the complex interaction of land surface processes at the different scales, represent a major challenge for hydrologists, ecologists and meteorological scientists alike. This book deals with time and space scale variations with reference to several topics including: soil water balance; ecosystems and interaction of flow systems; and macroscale hydrological modelling. This book will be of great use to researchers, engineers and forecasters with an interest in space and time scale variability. 1. Opening address of the first George Kovacs Colloquium U. Shamir 2.
