Discharge simulation in the sub-basins of the Amazon using ORCHIDEE forced by new datasets
(Copernicus GmbH, 2012-03)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of the ORCHIDEE land surface model to simulate streamflows over each sub-basin of the Amazon River basin. For this purpose, simulations are performed with a routing module ...

Assessment of climate change impacts on the hydrology of the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11)
In this article, we propose an investigation of the modifications of the hydrological response of two Peruvian Amazonas-Andes basins in relationship with the modifications of the precipitation and evapotranspiration rates ...
An index concentration method for suspended load monitoring in large rivers of the Amazonian foreland
(Copernicus GmbH, 2019-06-04)
Because increasing climatic variability and anthropic pressures have affected the sediment dynamics of large tropical rivers, long-term sediment concentration series have become crucial for understanding the related ...

A critical assessment of the JULES land surface model hydrology for humid tropical environments
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS), 2013-01)
Global land surface models (LSMs) such as the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) are originally developed to provide surface boundary conditions for climate models. They are increasingly used for hydrological ...
