Sentences with phrase «as hydrological processes»

The field of conservation biology identifies four objectives that must be achieved to ensure the longterm viability of an ecosystem: 1) all native ecosystem types must be represented in protected areas; 2) populations of all native species must be maintained in natural patterns of abundance and distribution; 3) ecological processes such as hydrological processes must be maintained; and 4) the resilience to short - term and long - term environmental change must be maintained.

All the descriptions of the evaporative process that I have seen so far concern themselves just with the evaporative and precipitation aspects as part of the hydrological cycle and ignore the condensation part in so far as it releases heat energy higher in the atmosphere for faster radiation to space.

We need to look at the evaporative / condensation process combined with ALL aspects of global weather as an ever changing global heat energy removal system and not just as a part of the hydrological cycle as usually set out in models and schematic diagrams.

It is well known that the HK (Hurst - Kolmogorov) behaviour, mostly viewed as persistence or clustering of similar events in time, is relevant to (and virtually omnipresent in) all hydrological processes (e.g. Montanari et al., 1997; Koutsoyiannis, 2002, 2003; Montanari, 2003).

These schemes improve the representation of observed land hydrological processes such as runoff, evapotranspiration, and soil water storage (Niu and Yang 2007; Oleson et al. 2008).

Variations in regional hydrological processes and water resources and their response to change in the environment such as the increase of greenhouse gases will be examined.

The Hindu - Kush Himalayan region, including the Tibetan plateau, also functions as a complex interaction of «atmospheric, cryospheric, hydrological, geological and environmental processes that bear special significance for the Earth's biodiversity, climate and water cycles» (48).

They provide material on the science of climate change assuming that the users already have a basic understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics, and relevant physical processes such as radiation transfer, diffusion, the hydrological cycle, and cloud physics along with some understanding of air chemistry, hydrology, and oceanography.

Interactions with the hydrological cycle, and additional impacts on the radiation budget, occur through the role of aerosols in cloud microphysical processes, as aerosol particles act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN).
