Conditional stochastic simulation model for spatial downscaling for assessing the effects of climate change on hydro-meteorological variables
The current study examines the recently proposed “bias correction and stochastic analogues” (BCSA) statistical spatial downscaling technique and attempts to improve it by conditioning coarse resolution data wh...

Impact of river network type on the time of concentration
Time of concentration (T c) is one of the frequently used parameters to characterize the response of a drainage basin to a rainfall event. Conceptually, it is the time runoff travels from the hydr...

KNN-based local linear regression for the analysis and simulation of low flow extremes under climatic influence
Climate change frequently causes highly nonlinear and irregular behaviors in hydroclimatic systems. The stochastic simulation of hydroclimatic variables reproduces such irregular behaviors and is beneficial fo...

Nonstationary frequency analysis of extreme daily precipitation amounts in Southeastern Canada using a peaks-over-threshold approach
In this paper, a statistical inference of Southeastern Canada extreme daily precipitation amounts is proposed using a classical nonstationary peaks-over-threshold model. Indeed, the generalized Pareto distribu...

Comparison of Record-Extension Techniques for Water Quality Variables
The extension of records at monthly, weekly or daily time steps at a short-record gauge from another continuously measured gauge is termed “record extension”. Ordinary least squares regression (OLS) of the flo...
