Stochastic Hydrology: Is Scientific Understanding Growing?

Among many problems of stochastic hydrology, several major problems may be singled out. (1) The methodology problem – may fluctuation of hydro-meteorological values be considered within the framework of probabilities and random processes? Was this topic discussed after 1953? (2) One-dimensional prob...

Description
Summary:Among many problems of stochastic hydrology, several major problems may be singled out. (1) The methodology problem – may fluctuation of hydro-meteorological values be considered within the framework of probabilities and random processes? Was this topic discussed after 1953? (2) One-dimensional probability distributions – is there progress? Are there new models? (3) Random Processes: Is Markovian property sufficient or more complex models with memory are needed? (4) Lack of stability resulting from climate changes: Is there progress in understanding the approaches to probabilistic forecasts?
