Sentence examples for higher elevation catchments from inspiring English sources

In contrast, lakes characteristic of N2O supersaturation were low in carbon and located in more rapidly flushed higher elevation catchments.

The catchment relaxation varied seasonally for higher elevation catchments, but remained constant for lower catchments, which indicates the importance of snow for streamflow predictability.

Lower elevation catchments show greater sensitivity to drought than higher elevation catchments, exhibiting sharp declines in annual runoff coefficients due to smaller average differences between evapotranspiration and precipitation, and switching from energy (demand) to supply (precipitation) limited water balances.

Solving the water balance by hydrological modelling in high elevation catchments needs to account for elevational changes in plant cover (amount of transpiring biomass, LAI), even within the same type of land cover as shown here for grassland.

Precipitation undercatch because of high winds and winter snowfall is the cause for this unusual situation, with deep accumulations of blown and drifted snow contributing significantly to runoff from small, high elevation catchments.

An exception to the overwhelming role of stochastic variability is represented by high elevation catchments fed by glaciers where streamflow is expected to be considerably reduced due to glacier retreat, with consequences appreciable in the main downstream rivers in August and September.

Providing a precise catchment area of the population for admission's data was not possible as such information is not routinely collected in the hospitals; we assumed therefore that most inpatients came from the immediate surrounding high-elevation catchment area.

Methane supersaturation was highest in low elevation catchments with an evaporative hydrologic character and high organic carbon concentrations.

This suggests that an extensive test of these indicators across the southern Appalachians will be required to identify high elevation forested catchments that would benefit from restoration activities.

We showed how climate change effects on streamflow propagate from high elevation headwater catchments to the river in the main valley by analyzing changes in several hydrological metrics and at various temporal scales across 297 control sections.

Climate change effects on the timing of peak winter spring (June to November) snowmelt discharges for the highest elevation gauged catchments in Australia are pronounced with average shifts toward earlier peak discharges of 6.2 and 4.0 days per decade for the Snowy and Geehi Rivers, respectively.
