Abstract. Climate change increases the occurrence and severity of droughts due to increasing temperatures, altered circulation patterns, reduced snow occurrence. While Europe has suffered from drought events in last decade unlike ever seen since beginning weather recordings, harmonized long-term datasets across continent are needed monitor support predictions. Here we present soil moisture data 66 cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNSs) (COSMOS-Europe for short) covering recent events. The CRNS...
Abstract Cosmic‐ray soil moisture sensors have the advantage of a large measurement footprint (approximately 700 m in diameter) and are able to operate continuously provide area‐averaged near‐surface (top 10–20 cm) volumetric content at field scale. This paper presents application this technique four sites southern England over almost 3 years. Results show response contrasting climatic conditions during 2011–2014 first such field‐scale measurements made UK. These prototype stations for UK...
This paper describes the development of first operational seasonal hydrological forecasting service for UK, Hydrological Outlook UK (HOUK). Since June 2013, this has delivered monthly forecasts streamflow and groundwater levels, with an emphasis on conditions over next three months, accompanied by outlooks longer time horizons. system is based complementary approaches combined to produce outlooks: (i) national-scale modelling levels dynamic rainfall forecasts, (ii) catchment-scale where...
Abstract. The COSMOS-UK observation network has been providing field-scale soil moisture and hydrometeorological measurements across the UK since 2013. At time of publication a total 51 sites have established, each delivering high-temporal resolution data in near-real time. Each site utilizes cosmic-ray neutron sensor, which counts epithermal neutrons at land surface. These are used to derive near-surface water content, can provide unique insight for science, industry, agriculture by filling...
Abstract. Models are widely used to assist water managers in their duties, yet there is little advice help select a model appropriate particular application. The that available specific either the application type or models considered, focused on one aspect of application, e.g. goodness-of-fit comparisons between observations and simulations unrealistic, separating selection from wider aspects intended This paper proposes protocol recognises requirements roles individuals associated with...
A linked modelling approach using a diffuse model (CASCADE) and river water quality (QUESTOR) was implemented to simulate flow nitrate dynamics in the River Aire catchment Northern England as way of exploring use performance benchmarking proposed by EC 5 th Framework Programme Benchmark Models for Water Directive project (BMW). sequence models is presented discussed terms their conceptualization, calibration performance. Two main conclusions were drawn. Firstly, although it considered...
The project Benchmark Models for the Water Framework Directive (BMW) has sought to provide advice and criteria water managers in their selection, use evaluation of models assist implementation (WFD). This is presented a model protocol that comprises four stages, i.e.: Management task definition Model code selection performance assessment A posteriori review modeling Within each stage there dialogue between manager modeller during which they reach mutual understanding issues relating before...
Abstract. The COSMOS-UK observation network has been providing field scale soil moisture and hydrometeorological measurements across the UK since 2013. At time of publication a total 51 sites have established, each delivering high temporal resolution data in near-real time. Each site utilises cosmic-ray neutron sensor, which counts fast neutrons at land surface. These are used to derive near-surface water content, can provide unique insight for science, industry, agriculture by filling gap...
1. The current extent and distribution of acidified surface waters in the U.K. is assessed using data collected between 1988 1993 as part Acid Waters Monitoring Network (AWMN). have been against a background constant S deposition across throughout monitoring period. 2. Surface with mean pH < 5.0 occur south‐west Scotland, south‐east Northern Ireland, Lake District England. In addition, sites 5.5 are found central north‐east Pennines north Wales. These areas receive, historically received,...
