TL;DR: This study employed Budyko-based climate elasticity method, combined with temperature-based Blaney-Criddle equation, to obtain the elasticities of runoff to two major climate variables, and then applied this methodology to the upper reach of Heihe River basin, China.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the difference of future ET0 response to climate change based on three approaches, i.e., more physically based Penman-Montieth equation with relatively uncertain downscaled data quality, more empirical temperature-based Hargreaves equation with more reliable down scaled input data, and statistical downscaling method with directly selecting ET0 as predictands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present future projections of extremes of daily precipitation and temperature, under different future scenarios in the headwater catchment of Yellow River basin over the 21st century, using the statistical downscaling model (SDSM).

TL;DR: In this paper, an analogue downscaling method was developed by modifying the Euclidian distance in the selection of similar weather pattern, such a modification consists of multivariate Box-Cox transformation and then standardization to make the resulted POAMA and observed climate pattern more similar.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of changes in land-use/cover on streamflow at short time scales is evaluated by examining the changes in the flow duration curve (FDC) before and after land use/cover change, which characterizes the relationship between the magnitude and frequency and hence provides the complete range of streamflow over time.
