Evaporation in the Uplands
TL;DR: In this paper, the plynlimon catchment results of the Stocks Reservoir controversy were investigated and Frank Law's studies were carried out in the uplands of the UK.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effects of land use change from natural forest to agricultural land on large-scale catchment runoff in southern Africa, using a model to predict the monthly levels of Lake Malawi.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stochastic model of rainfall interception
TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic model of rainfall interception is proposed which relates, via the Poisson probability distribution, the mean number of raindrops retained on elemental surface areas to the mean of raindrop strikes per element, providing a rational explanation of the observation that canopies wet up in a gradual, asymptotic manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
An objective assessment of soil-moisture deficit models
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of different soil-moisture deficit models was assessed by comparing model predictions with over 3000 neutron-probe observations of soil moisture content at six grassland experimental sites operated by the Institute of Hydrology.
