Scientific Results

This catalogue is obtained by conducting a systematic literature review of scientific studies and reviews related to monitoring, forecasting, and simulating the inland water cycle. The analysis maps scientific expertise across research groups and classifies findings by the type of inland water studied, application focus, and geographical scope. A gap analysis will identify missing research areas and assess their relevance to policymaking.

SD models are based on subcatchment units with various land use types, where rainfall is applied and runoff volumes are estimated and routed. FD models are based on the two dimensional (2D) discretization of the overland surface, which has a finer resolution with each grid-cell representing one land use type, where runoff volumes are estimated and directly routed by the 2D overland flow module. While SD models have been commonly applied in urban stormwater modeling, FD models are generally more detailed and theoretically more realistic. This paper presents a comparison between SD and FD models using two case studies in Coimbra (Portugal) and London (UK). To enable direct comparison between SD and FD setups, a model-building process is proposed and a novel sewer inlet representation is applied. SD and FD modeling results are compared against observed records in sewers and photographic records of flood events. The results suggest that FD models are more sensitive to surface storage parameters and require higher detail of the sewer network representation. 641931

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has delivered the most accurate quantification of global mass variations with monthly temporal resolution on large spatial scales. Future gravity missions will take advantage of improved measurement technologies such as enhanced orbit configurations and tracking systems as well as reduced temporal aliasing errors and latencies. In order to facilitate the usage of sub-monthly to daily innovate models, mass equivalent representations are computed. In addition, non-conventional processing techniques based on spherical radial basis functions (RBF) and mascons will give the ability to compute models in regional and global representations as well. The present study compares for the first time a complete global series of daily mass equivalent solutions obtained by the RBF method with conventional solutions in order to quantify recent ice-mass changes. We further compare the ice-induced crustal deformations due to the dynamic loading of the crustal layer with the Global Positioning System (GPS) uplift measurements along Greenland's coastline. Available mass change estimates based on ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite) laser altimetry measurements both in Greenland and Antarctica are used to asses the GRACE results. A comparison of GRACE time series with hydrological modeling for various basin extensions reveals overall high correlation to surface and groundwater storage compartments. The forward computation of satellite orbits for altimetry satellites such as Envisat, Jason-1 and Jason-2 compares the performance of GRACE time variable gravity fields with models including time variability, such as EIGEN-6S4. 637010
