Hydrologic Turnover Matters — Gross Gains and Losses of Six First‐Order Streams Across Contrasting Landscapes and Flow Regimes
; ; ; (Water Resources Research, 2022-07-19)
Gross gains and losses of stream water and the consequent hydrologic turnover may modify the composition of stream water and drive in‐stream ecological functioning. We evaluated over 500 breakthrough curves of conservative ... -
Decadal Prediction of Marine Heatwaves in MPI‐ESM
; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-08-14)
Marine Heatwaves (MHW) are SST extremes that can have devastating impacts on marine ecosystems and can influence circulation patterns in the ocean and the atmosphere. Here, we present a first attempt to study the decadal ... -
Surface Wave and Roller Dissipation Observed With Shore‐Based Doppler Marine Radar

Surface wave energy and dissipation are observed across the surf zone. Utilizing the concept of surface rollers, a new scaling is introduced to obtain the energy flux and dissipation related to rollers from Doppler velocities ... -
Measuring zero water level in stream reaches: A comparison of an image‐based versus a conventional method
; ; ; (Hydrological Processes, 2022-08-23)
A limited number of gauging stations, especially for nested catchments, hampers a process understanding of the interaction between streamflow, groundwater and water usage during drought. Non‐commercial measurement devices ... -
An Analytical Framework for Determining the Ecological Risks of Wastewater Discharges in River Networks Under Climate Change
