The hydrometeorology of Kuwait : characterization and modeling of rainfall distribution
This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the hydrometeorology of Kuwait. The spatial, seasonal, and inter annual variability of Kuwait rainfall is discussed based on rain gauge and satellite datasets. It is found that the spatial distribution of Kuwait's annual rainfall features a gradual …

Land conversion in Amazonia and Northern South America : influences on regional hydrology and ecosystem response
… for consistent and significant differences in hydrometeorology. Locations that show compelling differences are taken as case studies. The seasonal biases in precipitation at these locations are then used to create perturbations to long-term climate datasets. These perturbations then drive …

Hydrometeorological Variability over Pakistan
… that is an abbreviation of Pakistan and Hydrometeorology, and 1.0 indicates that it is the first version. This data set is developed by utilizing data from 67 meteorological stations of Pakistan. This number of observation sites is 2 to 4 times higher than that used in prior similar …

The impacts of climate change and agricultural activities on water cycling of Northern Eurasia
… and highlighted the importance of snow in the hydrometeorology of NE. The root mean square error of discharge from the six largest watersheds in NE decreased from 527.74 km<sup> 3</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup> to 126.23 km<sup>3</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, a systematic underestimation of river …

From groundwater to the atmosphere: using RELAMPAGO observations and modeling to understand changes in the hydrologic cycle of southeastern South America
Land-atmosphere interactions play an important role in modulating the hydroclimate of Southeastern South America (SESA). While climate variability and extreme events impact surface hydrology, the land surface of the region influences evapotranspiration, groundwater table depth, near-surface soil …

Economic impacts and analysis methods of extreme precipitation estimates for eastern Colorado
Dams are designed to store water and to insure human safety and as such they must withstand, in their lifetimes, any extreme precipitation event in their drainage basin. Correct estimation of this event is critical because on one hand it must provide an adequate level of safety to not occur, but it …

Data assimilation and dynamical downscaling of remotely-sensed precipitation and soil moisture from space
Environmental monitoring of Earth from space has provided invaluable information for understanding the land-atmosphere water and energy exchanges. However, the use of satellite observations in hydrologic applications is often limited by coarse space-time resolutions. This study aims to develop a …

Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing of Boreal-Arctic Land Surface State and Meteorology from AMSR-E
<p>High latitude regions are undergoing significant climate-related change and represent an integral component of the Earth’s climate system. Near-surface vapor pressure deficit, soil temperature, and soil moisture are essential state variables for monitoring high latitude climate and estimating …
