Updated world map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification

Murray Peel, Brian Finlayson, Thomas A. McMahon · 11 Oct 2007

Abstract. Although now over 100 years old, the classification of climate originally formulated by Wladimir Köppen and modified by his collaborators and successors, is still in widespread use. It is widely used in teaching school and undergraduate courses on climate. It is also still in regular use by researchers across a range of disciplines as…

The green, blue and grey water footprint of crops and derived crop products

Mesfin M. Mekonnen, Arjen Y. Hoekstra · 25 May 2011

Abstract. This study quantifies the green, blue and grey water footprint of global crop production in a spatially-explicit way for the period 1996–2005. The assessment improves upon earlier research by taking a high-resolution approach, estimating the water footprint of 126 crops at a 5 by 5 arc minute grid. We have used a grid-based dynamic…

The Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) for estimation of turbulent heat fluxes

Zhongbo Su · 28 Feb 2002

Abstract. A Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) is proposed for the estimation of atmospheric turbulent fluxes and evaporative fraction using satellite earth observation data, in combination with meteorological information at proper scales. SEBS consists of: a set of tools for the determination of the land surface physical parameters, such as albedo, emissivity, temperature, vegetation coverage…

Groundwater use for irrigation – a global inventory

Stefan Siebert, Jacob J. Burke, J.M. Faurès et al. · 12 Oct 2010

Abstract. Irrigation is the most important water use sector accounting for about 70% of the global freshwater withdrawals and 90% of consumptive water uses. While the extent of irrigation and related water uses are reported in statistical databases or estimated by model simulations, information on the source of irrigation water is scarce and very scattered.…

Rainfall–runoff modelling using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks

Frederik Kratzert, Daniel Klotz, Claire Brenner et al. · 22 Nov 2018

Abstract. Rainfall–runoff modelling is one of the key challenges in the field of hydrology. Various approaches exist, ranging from physically based over conceptual to fully data-driven models. In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven approach, using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, a special type of recurrent neural network. The advantage of the LSTM…

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Copernicus Publications format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Hydrology and Earth System Sciences use?
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences uses Author–year (Copernicus) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C.: A representative article title, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 12, 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Hydrology and Earth System Sciences?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Hydrology and Earth System Sciences document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Hydrology and Earth System Sciences?
Copernicus Publications journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by Copernicus Publications.
Can I export a submission-ready Hydrology and Earth System Sciences PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Hydrology and Earth System Sciences template (the copernicus class) that is ready to submit to Copernicus Publications, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
