Abstract:
The landscape holds the key to rainfall-runoff analysis. The landscape is the result of co-evolution with climate, geological substrate, ecosystem and hydrology. The landscape thus holds information on the dominant runoff mechanism, both on and under the ground. The art is to read the relevant properties from the landscape and translate these into model characteristics and properties. In this talk, I shall present new ways to read model structural properties from the landscape, which help to build more realistic model structures. These landscape based model structures provide opportunities to include realism conditions to model structural elements and allow attaching physical meaning to parameters. As a result these models are better able to up-scale and down-scale catchment properties and even to transfer model structures to poorly gauged catchments.
In addition I shall prepare a new approach to size the unsaturated reservoirs of landscape models on the basis of ecosystem and climate characteristics. With this method the most crucial model parameter of hydrological models can be estimated on the basis of independently available information.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
