Streamflow Measurement, Third Edition

Reginald W. Herschy

'Too little water or too much'? In either case streamflow measurement is crucial. Climate change could significant affect water resources and flood management. Streamflow measurement is ne...

Transport at the Air-Sea Interface

<p>One key uncertainty in predictions of future climate is caused by the lack of knowledge of transport processes in the air-water interface; this poses the main transfer resistance between ...
