Improving the degree-day method for sub-daily melt simulations with physically-based diurnal variations

Bettina Schaefli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Parlange, Cara Christine Tobin, Andrea Rinaldo, Silvia Simoni, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper proposes a new extension of the classical degree-day snowmelt model applicable to hourly simulations for regions with limited data and adaptable to a broad range of spatially-explicit hydrological models. The snowmelt schemes have been tested wi ...

Scaling body size fluctuations

Andrea Rinaldo, Francesco Carrara, Amos Maritan, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt

The size of an organism matters for its metabolic, growth, mortality, and other vital rates. Scale-free community size spectra (i.e., size distributions regardless of species) are routinely observed in natural ecosystems and are the product of intra- and i ...

Kinematics of age mixing in advection-dispersion models

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter, Paolo Benettin

This paper investigates age mixing processes arising in advection-dispersion models, where large-scale travel and residence time distributions can be explicitly calculated based on the underlying velocity field. In particular, we analyze spatially integrat ...

Chloride circulation in a lowland catchment and the formulation of transport by travel time distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter, Paolo Benettin

Travel times are fundamental catchment descriptors that blend key information about storage, geochemistry, flow pathways and sources of water into a coherent mathematical framework. Here we analyze travel time distributions (TTDs) (and related attributes) ...

Signs of critical transition in the Everglades wetlands in response to climate and anthropogenic changes

Andrea Rinaldo

The increasing pressure of climatic change and anthropogenic activities is predicted to have major effects on ecosystems around the world. With their fragility and sensitivity to hydrologic shifts and land-use changes, wetlands are among the most vulnerabl ...

Hydrologic Variability Affects Invertebrate Grazing on Phototrophic Biofilms in Stream Microcosms

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Serena Ceola, Lorenzo Mari, Gianluca Botter, Tom Ian Battin

The temporal variability of streamflow is known to be a key feature structuring and controlling fluvial ecological communities and ecosystem processes. Although alterations of streamflow regime due to habitat fragmentation or other anthropogenic factors ar ...

Statistical mechanics of wind wave-induced erosion in shallow tidal basins: Inferences from the Venice Lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Wind wave-induced erosional effects are among the chief landscape-forming processes in tidal biomorphodynamics. Wave-driven bottom erosion, in fact, controls the equilibrium elevation and dynamics of subtidal and tidal flat surfaces, and the impact of wave ...

Spatially Explicit Conditions for Waterborne Pathogen Invasion

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Righetto, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Waterborne pathogens cause many possibly lethal human diseases. We derive the condition for pathogen invasion and subsequent disease outbreak in a territory with specific, space-inhomogeneous characteristics (hydrological, ecological, demographic, and epid ...

Rainfall mediations in the spreading of epidemic cholera

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Righetto, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Following the empirical evidence of a clear correlation between rainfall events and cholera resurgence that was observed in particular during the recent outbreak in Haiti, a spatially explicit model of epidemic cholera is re-examined. Specifically, we test ...

Catchment-scale herbicides transport: Theory and application

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Gianluca Botter

This paper proposes and tests a model which couples the description of hydrologic flow and transport of herbicides at catchment scales. The model accounts for streamflow components' age to characterize short and long term fluctuations of herbicide flux con ...

Biophysical controls on cluster dynamics and architectural differentiation of microbial biofilms in contrasting flow environments

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Samir Suweis, Lorenzo Mari, Tom Ian Battin

Ecology, with a traditional focus on plants and animals, seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying structure and dynamics of communities. In microbial ecology, the focus is changing from planktonic communities to attached biofilms that dominate microbi ...

Emerging predictable features of replicated biological invasion fronts

Andrea Rinaldo, Francesco Carrara, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt

Biological dispersal shapes species' distribution and affects their coexistence. The spread of organisms governs the dynamics of invasive species, the spread of pathogens, and the shifts in species ranges due to climate or environmental change. Despite its ...

From the Cover: Water-controlled wealth of nations

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Paolo d'Odorico, Amos Maritan

Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use more water than they control because of their ability to import food and the virtual water requ ...

Resilience of river flow regimes

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Landscape and climate alterations foreshadow global-scale shifts of river flow regimes. However, a theory that identifies the range of foreseen impacts on streamflows resulting from inhomogeneous forcings and sensitivity gradients across diverse regimes is ...

Hydrology as a driver of biodiversity: Controls on carrying capacity, niche formation, and dispersal

Andrea Rinaldo

A synthesis is presented highlighting the importance of hydrologic variables and dynamics to biodiversity patterns. The focus of this paper is the key hydrologic controls crucial towards quantifying the impacts of climate changes on the distribution of spe ...

Geomorphic signatures on brutsaert base flow recession analysis

Marc Parlange, Raphaël Mutzner, Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Nevena Tomasic, Serena Ceola, Ludovico Nicotina, Steven Vincent Weijs

This paper addresses the signatures of catchment geomorphology on base flow recession curves. Its relevance relates to the implied predictability of base flow features, which are central to catchment-scale transport processes and to ecohydrological functio ...

Geomorphic signatures of deltaic processes and vegetation: The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Jamuna case study

Andrea Rinaldo

Deltas are complex ecogeomorphic systems where features such as channels and interchannel islands are present over a wide range of spatial scales. A quantitative description of the morphology of deltas is fundamental to address how they react to changes in ...

Maximum entropy production, carbon assimilation, and the spatial organization of vegetation in river basins

Andrea Rinaldo

The spatial organization of functional vegetation types in river basins is a major determinant of their runoff production, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. The optimization of different objective functions has been suggested to control the adaptive be ...

Dominant controls on pesticide transport from tile to catchment scale: Lessons from a minimalist model

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

This paper proposes a minimalist modeling approach for characterizing pesticide concentrations in runoff from agricultural catchments across spatial scales. The model proposed is of an intermediate level of complexity between traditional chromatographic se ...
