This paper is the outcome of a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by need for stronger harmonisation research efforts. The procedure involved public consultation through online media, followed two workshops which large number potential science questions were collated, prioritised, and synthesised. In spite diversity participants (230 scientists total), process revealed much about priorities state our science: preference continuity...
Abstract Daily streamflow dynamics can be accurately simulated by conceptual models as simple a single bucket in some catchments, while they require more complex configurations other catchments. However, without resorting to calibration, anticipating where and why given model structure may appropriate remains difficult. In this work, we explored the feasibility of relating suitable structures climate characteristics 508 catchments Brazil. Specifically, tested four using up three reservoirs,...
This study shows how the use of increasing model complexity allows us to hypothesize about dominant streamflow mechanisms in two small Brazilian forested basins. Nine different structures from SUPERFLEX, an objective framework systematically increase hydrological complexity, were tested and we extended flexible modelling methodology error models as well. We show that applying a rigorous evaluation framework, with residual analysis control is essential for testing hypothesis controls. Our...
<p>Os principais contribuintes antropogênicos para a contaminação do ar são as emissões veiculares e industriais. Santa Catarina é um estado com setor industrial desenvolvido. Destaca-se não apenas pelo número, como também pela diversificação de atividades fabris. Dentre essas atividades, há produção peças cerâmicas vermelhas (tijolos telhas - olarias). Há uma concentração representativa dessas empresas no sul desse estado. Suspeita-se que atmosféricas das olarias comprometam qualidade...
