This melt has increased river activity yet direct runoff measurements remain scarce in Antarctica, despite it acting as a proxy for glacial ablation. Here, we present discharge and water temperature data from 2013 for three streams on Vega Island and discuss their relationship with air temperature. The average discharge at the largest stream was 0.523 m3s−1 with a maximum of 5.510 m3s−1 – among the highest recorded in Antarctica. The rivers continued to flow even when temperatures dropped to −7°C, indicating that a large proportion of the total runoff originated sub-glacially. This is supported by the one-day time lag between air and water temperatures. Using river discharge as a proxy, we measured 124.5 ± 14.4 mm w.e. of ablation. This indirect measurement proved an effective tool to complement classic glaciological observations.","PeriodicalId":55042,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Sciences Journal-Journal Des Sciences Hydrologiques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46807007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MOSSA provides the best solutions with a higher mean hypervolume in a shorter computation time, and it is utilized to optimize the TVH rules for four periods: monthly (TVH-1), quarterly (TVH-3), half-yearly (TVH-6) and yearly (TVH-12). The six-month-ahead TVH-6 rule and the five-month-ahead TVH-6 rule generate the highest summer power for the historical period (2011–2020) and the future period (2020–2059), respectively. The future decadal power generation is expected to be higher than the historical power generation.

LST products of the Sentinel-3 satellites were also compared. We found that instantaneous LSTs can be estimated with an root mean square difference (RMSE) of 0.6°C. A large amount of data (N = 102–103) is available for each month, but N differs greatly in the range of 216–2771. A good agreement (RMSE of 0.9°C) was found between monthly mean LSTs from Himawari-8 and in situ measurements, and it is better than the RMSE of 1.2–1.7°C found for the Sentinel-3 LST products. The diurnal change detection was more difficult due to insufficient data numbers around noon.

The standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), widely used around the globe, are employed here to increase our understanding of the drought indices, spatiotemporal characteristics, and factors related to agricultural droughts in western China; this is important for water resource management and drought forecasting in the region. Results show that both the SPEI and SPI can monitor typical agricultural droughts, but some differences appear against a background of climate change. The SPEI can generally accurately reflect variations in soil moisture in humid regions, while the SPI shows a better performance in other climate zones. Three spatially well-defined sub-regions with different temporal evolutions of droughts were identified to explain the main dry/wet variations across western China. Large-scale circulation patterns, daily extreme precipitation, daytime heatwaves, and geographic factors were found to have a potential connection with droughts.","PeriodicalId":55042,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Sciences Journal-Journal Des Sciences Hydrologiques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43752138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, research efforts are needed to develop novel and innovative semi-distributed RR models that require a minimum amount of data and effort. In this study, four semi-distributed RR models are proposed using a simple lumped model in a distributed sense by gradually enforcing spatial distribution in terms of hydro-meteorological and physiographical features in a basin. Only rainfall, runoff, and temperature data from three contrasting basins were employed in developing the proposed models. The results show that semi-distributed models performed better than the lumped model, and the accuracy increased with gradual enforcement of the spatial variations in various data. Further, the results suggest that incorporation of the basin’s physiographic features is the most important aspect in developing efficient semi-distributed RR models followed by hydrological and climatic information in a basin.","PeriodicalId":55042,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Sciences Journal-Journal Des Sciences Hydrologiques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43110854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scalar/vector fields of piezometric head (potential)/specific discharge allow for reconstruction of stream lines, isobars, isochrones, and isotachs. An air-filled toroid drains much more water than equipotential, or – inversely – at a given flow rate, the size of an empty toroid is much smaller than that of a water-filled one. The hydraulic gradients in the vicinity of modelled wells/tunnels are very high, triggering colmation and suffusion.

In view of this issue, we generate design flood scenarios, i.e. type-specific design hydrographs are created for a flood quantile of a certain return period based on type-specific flood volumes and hydrograph shapes. Additionally, the probability of each flood type is derived. Different probability density functions are used as templates for generating different hydrograph shapes by varying their parameters. An ensemble of synthetic design flood hydrographs is obtained, which allows the consideration of best- and worst-case scenarios.

The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) was subsequently used to obtain a semi-analytical solution. We compared this solution with a linearized analytical and non-linear numerical solution and investigated the influence of each parameter that affects the number of convergent terms in analytical solutions. To estimate the recharge volume, two methods, the Horton infiltration formula and a method in which the fraction of rainfall intensity is considered, were employed.
