Bronstert A., Carrera J., Kabat P., Lütkemeier S. (Eds.) Coupled models for the hydrological cycle. Integrating atmosphere, biosphere, and pedosphere

Springer, 2005. – 360 p.This book considers an array of state-of-the-art coupling and modelling concepts. First the relevant Earth system cycles are presented, followed by a discussion on scale issues and multiple equilibria. Inter- and intra-compartmental coupling is addressed, along with a debate on non-linearities and questions of parameterisation. Several applications are presented, where a focus is on cases where the hydrological cycle plays a central role.Cycles, Feedbacks, and Main Issues
