Evapotranspiration parameters in coarse grained modelling
Let me have a little rehearsal on Evapotranspiration (see my posts for "random" thinking on the topic) estimation with simplified model, like Penman-Monteith or Priestley-Taylor. Literature reports...

Using geostatistics to integrate satellite information, and modelling on soil...
This paper has a long history and explore the idea that geostatistics can be used to integrate satellite information when this is missing. At the same time the whole information is used for assimilated...

Pfafstetter Numbering and the organisation of river networks
We just have accepted a paper related to the topological ordering we use inside our model JGrass-NewAGE. This ordering derives is a generalisation of the Pfafstetter algorithm.Once understood, it can...

MeteoIO
As known, we use MeteoIO in our GEOtop 2.0. Despite the fact that we implemented most of the same capabilities inside GEOtop directly. And despite we also reimplemented the same (and in some case more...
