  1. 16. Long Term Environmental Modelling of Soil-Water-Plant Exposed to Saline Water.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Leila Pourfathali Kasmaei; [2012]
    Keywords : CoupModel; Drip and surface irrigation; Leaching fraction; Soil evaporation; Transpiration; Salinization;

    Abstract : The impact of long term management strategies of irrigation with saline water in semi-arid region of Gordonia, South Africa is the highest interest to optimize water consumption, soil conservation, and crop yield for sustainable water allocations to human food production and ecosystem without irreversible damages to soil and water body. An integrated ecosystem assimilation, in shape of soil-water storage model based on physical approach for 30-year simulation run defined in form of digital ecosystem modelling with help of CoupModel tool to assemble together the most important underlying processes of soil hydraulics, irrigation demands, leaching fraction, evapotranspiration, salt transport.

    Author : Rickard Klinkert; [2012]
    Keywords : Uncertainty; Long-term-correction; Measure-Correlate-Predict; Sector-Bin; Synthetic time series; Reference dataset; Weather observation stations; WRF; MERRA; QuikSCAT; NCEP FNL; Bootstrap; sampling; North Sea.; Osäkerhet; Measure-Correlate-Predict; årsmedelvind; Sektor-Bin; Syntetiska tidsserier; referensdataset; väderobservationsstationer; WRF; MERRA; QuikSCAT; NCEP FNL; Bootstrap; sampling; Nordsjön.;

    Abstract : For the construction of a wind farm, one needs to assess the wind resources of the considered site location. Using reference time series from numerical weather prediction models, global assimilation databases or observations close to the area considered, the on-site measured wind speeds and wind directions are corrected in order to represent the actual long-term wind conditions.
