Iowa and operational hydrology
Or operational hydrology in Iowa. I do not know if I like the name, because it usually distinguished, since Sacramento model, models that work but kind of far from the edge of research. Obviously this...

Weather Generation (according to Korbinian Breinl)
How one can reasonably cope with simulating future hydrometeorological forcing for hydrological purposes ? Clearly, since meteorology is dominated by unpredictable phenomena ( in the sense of chaotic...

Meshes, Grids, CW-Complexes
Representation of space (and time) is a necessary step to implement any Physics. However, the topic is seldom faced with the appropriate generality, and this reflects into implementations in softwares...

A smooth introduction to some Algebraic Topology topics
Since the previous post on Grids touched some topics on algebraic topology, I selected a few sites where I found some interesting information from our point of view that can help the reading of the...

Evaluation of Dr. *** work and research. For getting tenure
It often happens that an Academic is asked to assess his/her peer work. This below is an example of one letter that I made recently. However, in boldface I put comments in a less traditional language...

Grids: Notes for an implementation
This contains some hints and discussions about how to implement Grids (that I learned to call CW-Complexes) in a Object Oriented language. Specifically the discussion is made with Java in mind, but...

Meledrio, or a simple reflection on hydrological modelling - Part I
The problem is well explained by the following figure, which represents the statistics of slopes in Meledrio basin.The overall distribution is bimodal, that make us to suspect that something was going...

Meledrio, or a simple reflection on hydrological modelling - Part II
In the previous studies made on the hydrology of Meledrio some ancillary data are produced. For instance:Soil UseGeo-lithology-LithologyUsually also other maps are produced, for instance soil cover...

Meledrio, or a simple reflection on hydrological modelling - Part III
Well, this is not exactly Meledrio. It starts a little downstream of it. In fact, we do not have discharge data in Meledrio (so far) and we want to anchor our analysis to something measured. So we...

Meledrio, or a simple reflection on hydrological modelling - Part IV
An issue that often is risen is about the complexity of models. Assuming the same Meledrio basin, which is the model we can think to be the simpler for getting quantitatively the water budget ? The...
