GRACE storage-streamflow hystereses reveal the dynamics of regional watersheds

Creator:

Sproles, E. A., Leibowitz, S. G., Reager, J. T., Wigington, P. J. Jr., Famiglietti, J. S., and Patil, S. D.

Abstract:

We characterize how regional watersheds function as simple, dynamic systems through a series of hysteresis loops. These loops illustrate the temporal relationship between runoff and terrestrial water storage using measurements from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites in three regional-scale watersheds (>150 000 km² ) of the Columbia...
