Summary
Abstract: The present data set demonstrates the potential of combining
observed river discharge information with a climate-driven Water
Balance Model in order to develop composite runoff fields which are
consistent with observed discharges. Such combined runoff fields
preserve the accuracy of the discharge measurements as well as the
spatial and temporal distribution of ... View entire text

Description: The Global Hydrological Archive and Analysis System (GHAAS)is a
set of computer-based tools and data sets developed and routinely
applied by staff at the Water Systems Analysis Group at the University
of New Hampshire in their ongoing studies of the terrestrial water
cycle. This research encompasses data set development, modeling, and
global change impact assessment.
