Scaling aspects of river flow routing
Abstract Scaling aspects of river flow routing are studied by comparing two flow routing schemes, one designed for use in coupled general circulation models (GCMs) and operated at large spatial scales (∼350 km), and the other designed for use in typical hydrological applications at small spatial sca...
