Description for Chaos in Hydrology
Hardback. This is a comprehensive account of the key roles that nonlinear dynamic and chaos theories play in the understanding, modeling and forecasting of hydrologic systems. It acts as a bridge between the deterministic and stochastic views in hydrology. Num Pages: 394 pages, 37 black & white illustrations, 25 colour illustrations, 15 black & white tables, biograp. BIC Classification: PBWR; RBK. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 155. Weight in Grams: 795.
This authoritative book presents a comprehensive account of the essential roles of nonlinear dynamic and chaos theories in understanding, modeling, and forecasting hydrologic systems. This is done through a systematic presentation of: (1) information on the salient characteristics of hydrologic systems and on the existing theories for their modeling; (2) the fundamentals of nonlinear dynamic and chaos theories, methods for chaos identification and prediction, and associated issues; (3) a review of the applications of chaos theory in hydrology; and (4) the scope and potential directions for the future.
This book bridges the divide between the deterministic and the stochastic schools in ... Read morehydrology, and is well suited as a textbook for hydrology courses.
