Coupled Models for the Hydrological Cycle - Integrating Atmosphere, Biosphere and Pedosphere (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2005)

This book considers an array of state-of-the-art coupling and modelling concepts. First the relevant Earth system cycles are presented, followed by a discussion on scale issues and multiple equilibria. Inter- and intra-compartmental coupling is addressed, along with a debate on non-linearities and questions of parameterisation. Several applications are presented, where a focus is on cases where the hydrological cycle plays a central role.
