Evaluation of the applicability of potential evapotranspiration models in Hungary
One of the most challenging problems in hydrometeorology is the quantification of potential evapotranspiration (PET) rates. The aim of this study was to identify PET models that can reliably approximate the FAO Penman– Monteith reference evapotranspiration or available PET data provided by the Hungarian Meteorological Service (HungaroMet) for Hungary while requiring fewer meteorological input variables. Nevertheless, an understanding of PET value…
Cultural adaptation and validation of the water attitude scale
Education plays a crucial role in shaping future generations. This is also the case for the formation of environmental attitudes. Hungary is a country with abundant water resources; however, fostering students with a strong water attitude is especially important for the future, even in such nations. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Water Attitude Scale (WAS) questionnaire for use with primary school students in Hungary. A…
Trends in extreme precipitation events (SW Hungary) based on a high-density monitoring network
Climate change is commonly associated with extreme weather phenomena. Extreme weather patterns may bring prolonged drought periods, more intense runoff and increased severity of floods. Rainfall distribution is extremely erratic both in space and time, particularly in areas of rugged topography and heterogeneous land use. Therefore, locating major rainfall events and predicting their hydrological consequences is challenging. Hence, our study aime…
River ice and water temperature prediction on the Danube
This paper presents a modification of the theory of weighted mean temperatures for rivers. Rodhe, B. (1952) assumed the dominance of sensible heat transfer on ice formation. We aimed to improve the method for the evaluation of ice and water temperature based on a relatively low number of inputs. We further developed the model by introducing the effect of pre-existing ice, hence increasing the accuracy of the model on the timing of ice disappearan…
Applicability of a Recreational-Grade Interferometric Sonar for the Bathymetric Survey and Monitoring of the Drava River
Sonar survey of shallow water bodies has challenged scientists for a long time. Although these water courses are small, still they have an increasing ecological, touristic and economical role. As maritime sonars are non-ideal tools for shallow waters, the bathymetric survey of these rivers has been taken with cross-sectional methods. Due to recent developments, interferometric surveying technology have also burst into the market of recreational-g…
Soil moisture retention on slopes under different agricultural land uses in hilly regions of Southern Transdanubia
Increasingly severe weather extremes are predicted as one of the consequences of climate change. According to climatic models, weather extremities induce higher risks for both flood and drought in the Carpathian Basin. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, flood control relied on cost-intensive engineering structures, but recently ecological solutions have come to the fore. Flood hazard on major rivers could be mitigated if multiple and cumulat…
Application of a topographic pedosequence in the Villány Hills for terroir characterization
Terroir refers to the geographical origin of wines. The landscape factors (topography, parent rock, soil, microbial life, climate, natural vegetation) are coupled with cultural factors (cultivation history and technology, cultivars and rootstock) and all together define a terroir. The physical factors can be well visualized by a slope profile developed into a pedosequence showing the regular configuration of the relevant physical factors for a wi…
Soils and Weathering
Weathering of rock and regolith involves physical, chemical, and/or biological processes. Physical weathering is the breakup and disintegration of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the decomposition of materials by a series of chemical reactions, resulting in different minerals and compounds, all of which are more geochemically stable in the near‐surface environment. Living organisms can cause and impact both physical…
