Impact of stochastic fluctuations in storage-discharge relations on streamflow distributions

Porporato, Amilcare (AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2010)

In this paper we extend recent theoretical results on the structure of the probability density function of streamflows forced by stochastic rainfall sequences. Our extension is aimed at incorporating an additional, independent ...
Statistical collapse of stratiform and convective drop diameter distributions at the ground

Ignaccolo, M. (AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2010)

The probability density function of the drop diameter at the ground is investigated during stratiform and convective precipitation intervals at Darwin, Australia. We show how, after a renormalization procedure of the drop ...
Using Fractal Downscaling of Satellite Precipitation Products for Hydrometeorological Applications

Tao, Kun; Barros, Ana (AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2010)

The objective of spatial downscaling strategies is to increase the information content of coarse datasets at smaller scales. In the case of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) for hydrological applications, the ...
