The new scientific decade (2023-2032) of the International Association Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) aims at searching for sustainable solutions to undesired water conditions - may it be too little, much or polluted. Many current issues originate from global change, while problems must embrace local understanding and context. will explore crises by actionable knowledge within three themes: interactions, innovative cross-cutting methods. We capitalise on previous IAHS Scientific Decades...
This paper shares an early-career perspective on potential themes for the upcoming International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) Scientific Decade (SD). opinion synthesizes six discussion sessions in western Europe identifying three that all offer a different hydrological threats world faces and could serve to direct broader community: “Tipping points thresholds hydrology,” “Intensification water cycle,” “Water services under pressure.” Additionally, four trends were...
Abstract Urban Land Surface Models (ULSMs) simulate energy and water exchanges between the urban surface atmosphere. However, earlier systematic ULSM comparison projects assessed balance but ignored balance, which is coupled to balance. Here, we analyze representation in 19 ULSMs participating Urban‐PLUMBER project using results for 20 sites spread across a range of climates form characteristics. As observations most fluxes are unavailable, examine closure, flux timing, magnitude with score...
Abstract Land cover controls the land‐atmosphere exchange of water and energy through partitioning solar into latent sensible heat. Observations over all land types at regional scale are required to study these turbulent flux dynamics a landscape. Here, we aim how control daily midday heat fluxes different is distributed along three axes: availability, availability efficiency. To this end, observations from 19 eddy covariance tower sites in Netherlands, covering six located within same...
Water storage plays an important role in mitigating heat and flooding urban areas. Assessment of the water capacity cities remains challenging due to inherent heterogeneity surface. Traditionally, effective has been estimated from runoff. Here, we present a novel approach estimate recession rates observed evaporation during precipitation-free periods. We test this for at neighborhood scale with eddy-covariance based latent flux observations 14 contrasting sites different local climate zones,...

Urban Land Surface Models (ULSMs) simulate energy and water exchanges between the urban surface atmosphere. When part of numerical weather prediction, ULSMs provide a lower boundary for atmosphere improve applicability model results in environment compared with non-urban land models.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process in the hydrological cycle that can help mitigate urban heat. ET depends on surface cover, as affects partitioning of precipitation between runoff and evapotranspiration. In neighborhoods, this cover highly heterogeneous. The resulting neighborhood-scale observed with eddy-covariance systems. However, these observations represent signal from wind- stability-dependent footprints continuously changing composition. This continuous change prevents...
Abstract In this study, we present an extension to the Monin–Obukov similarity theory (MOST) for roughness sublayer (RSL) over short vegetation. We test our using temperature measurements from fiber optic cables in array-shaped set-up. This provides a high vertical measurement resolution that enables us measure sharp gradients near surface. It is well-known MOST invalid RSL as flow distorted by elements. However, derive surface temperature, it common practice extrapolate logarithmic profiles...
Accurate estimations of the surface temperature and momentum profiles are crucial to determine exchange energy moisture between atmosphere. Yet, getting a good estimate profile over widespread frequently studied grass remains challenging. In this study, we present an extension Monin--Obukov similarity theory (MOST) for roughness sublayer (RSL) short vegetation. We test our using measurements from fiber optic cables in array-shaped set-up. This provides high vertical measurement resolution...

The urban climate is substantially different from its rural counterpart. This study summarizes 10 years of monitoring the Amsterdam. Amsterdam has a unique position in sense it located delta, and close to large lake east. Moreover city well known for amount water bodies.

<p>The development of urban areas impacts the local climate and hydrology. Cities have been modelled with an array models different complexities. These are called land surface (ULSM) focus on radiation, turbulent sensible latent heat fluxes. Grimmond et al. (2010) evaluated these finding that flux is most challenging to simulate. This part both energy balance water balance, as equivalent mass evapotranspiration. Thus, hydrological circumstances may be crucial correctly model...
<p>Urban Land Surface Models (ULSM) are developed to simulate the urban climate and vary in their complexity. The need for this complexity was assessed by two successive systematic intercomparison projects. Both projects focused on energy balance found latent heat flux be most challenging model. However, these did not address closure of water balance, although is directly linked balance. This study aims assess representation dynamics 14 ULSMs from Urban-PLUMBER project each ran...

<p>The amount and dynamics of urban water storage play an important role in mitigating flooding heat. Assessment the capacity cities to store remains challenging due extreme heterogeneity surface. Evapotranspiration (ET) recession after rainfall events during period without precipitation, over which stored gradually decreases, can provide insight on surfaces. Assuming ET is only outgoing flux, be estimated based timescale intercept its recession. In this paper, we test proposed...
