NP3.5 Scales and scaling in surface and subsurface hydrology

Convener: Marco Marani 
Co-Conveners: Joao de Lima, Witek Krajewski, M. Gebremichael, Remko Uijlenhoet
The issue of scales and nonlinear physical, chemical and biological processes 
is of fundamental importance in hydrology. The questions of how such processes 
are organized in space and time across a range of scales, how different processes 
interact at different scales, and how observations at one scale are related 
to those at another have profound implications for our ability to predict hydrologic 
cycle components. Answering these questions, in view of the undergoing environmental 
changes at all scales, requires concerted theoretical, modeling, and experimental 
efforts. Such efforts are undertaken by research groups around the world. This 
session is devoted to reporting research results on all aspects of scales and 
scaling in both groundwater and surface hydrology, including hydrometeorology 
and ecohydrology. Scaling research topics on hydrologic processes on scales 
ranging from laboratory to hillslope to small (e.g. urban) basins to regions 
and continents to entire Earth are all appropriate. Contributions of both scientific 
and engineering aspects of scaling research and applications are welcome. It 
is Conveners intention to approach this complex issue in a broad way in order 
to encompass different scales both in time and space including interactions 
between nonlinear hydrologic processes at different scales. Posters focusing 
on a specific scale, either for surface or groundwater processes and their 
modeling and observations, are also welcome.
