Toward improved evaluation of large scale hydrologic models: estimation and quantification of parameter uncertainty
… The hydrologic model used in this study was the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model. The finalized scripting environment will be made available to the modeling community.

Exploring the potential impacts of climate change on North America's Laurentian Great Lakes tourism sector
… general circulation models (AOGCMs) and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model simulations show that climate change could lead to significant changes in winter weather and extreme weather in the Great Lakes region and, subsequently, impact the region's tourism sector. Future research …

Understanding the causes of streamflow changes in the Eurasian Arctic
… physically-based reservoir model coupled to the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrology model, we find that, while reservoir construction and operation apparently had little effect on long-term annual streamflow trends, they are responsible for much of the observed increases in …

Landslide susceptibility mapping through enhanced dynamic slope stability analysis using earth observing satellite measurements
… Corral, California, US and Dhading Nepal, using variable infiltration capacity (VIC-3L) soil moisture and AMSR-E soil moisture to develop dynamic landslide susceptibility maps at regional scale.</p><p>Results show a strong relationship among remotely sensed soil moisture, rainfall and landslide …

Soil Moisture-driven Drought Evaluation under Present and Future Conditions
… the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) models are used with a meteorological forecasting dataset. Results indicate that eight weeks of lead-time drought forecasting show good drought predictability for the Contiguous United States (CONUS). For the …

Sustainable Management of Water Resources and Hydropower Projects in the Context of the Food-Energy-Water Nexus in the Mekong River Basin
… was simulated using the high resolution (1 km) Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model with the Lohmann et al. (1996, 1998) routing scheme and general circulation models projection for the future till 2099. Remote sensing products were used for the derivation of the reservoir …

Observation-Based Algorithm Development For Subsurface Hydrology In Northern Temperate Wetlands
… by using a macroscale hydrological model, the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model. The existing VIC model was modified to better represent the effect of surface and subsurface water storage in managed wetlands. An improved water table depth calculation, based on a drained to equilibrium …

Probabilistic Modeling of Shallow Landslides at Regional Scales
… subsurface flow recharge is obtained from the Variable Infiltration Capacity macro-scale hydrologic model. Thus, the model design allows for use of future hydrologic projections to estimate changing landslide probability as climate and landscape evolve. The model is available as a component in …

The response of southern African vegetation to droughts in past and future climates
… 4 (CLM4), Community Land Model version 4 with Variable Infiltration Capacity hydrology (CLM4VIC), and Organising Carbon and Hydrology in Dynamic Ecosystems designed by Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (ORCHIDEE-LSCE). These three DGVMs and the Community Earth System …
