L., Boothroyd, R., Cloke, H., Delorme, P., Griffith, H., Hardy, R., Hawker, L., McLelland, S., Neal, J., Nicholas, A., Tatem, A. J., Vahidi, E., Liu, Y., …Darby, S. E. (2024). Global-scale evaluation of precipitation datasets for hydrological modelling. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 28(14), 3099-3118. https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-28-3099-2024

Precipitation is the most important driver of the hydrological cycle, but it is challenging to estimate it over large scales from satellites and models. Here, we assessed the performance of six global and quasi-global high-resolution precipitation da... Read More about Global-scale evaluation of precipitation datasets for hydrological modelling.

A high-resolution daily global dataset of statistically downscaled CMIP6 models for climate impact analyses (2023)
Journal Article
Gebrechorkos, S., Leyland, J., Slater, L., Wortmann, M., Ashworth, P. J., Bennett, G. L., …Darby, S. E. (2023). A high-resolution daily global dataset of statistically downscaled CMIP6 models for climate impact analyses. Scientific Data, 10(1), Article 611. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02528-x

A large number of historical simulations and future climate projections are available from Global Climate Models, but these are typically of coarse resolution, which limits their effectiveness for assessing local scale changes in climate and attendan...

The importance of riparian plant orientation in river flow: implications for flow structures and drag (2019)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R. J., Hardy, R. J., Warburton, J., & Marjoribanks, T. I. (2019). The importance of riparian plant orientation in river flow: implications for flow structures and drag. Journal of Ecohydraulics, 3(2), 108-129. https://doi.org/10.1080/24705357.2019.1573648

In a series of high resolution numerical modelling experiments, we incorporated submerged riparian plants into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model used to predict flow structures and drag in river flow. Individual plant point clouds were captu... Read More about The importance of riparian plant orientation in river flow: implications for flow structures and drag.

Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture (2017)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R., Hardy, R., Warburton, J., & Marjoribanks, T. (2017). Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture. Water Resources Research, 53(4), 2877-2901. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016wr020186

Although vegetation is present in many rivers, the bulk of past work concerned with modeling the influence of vegetation on flow has considered vegetation to be morphologically simple, and has generally neglected the complexity of natural plants. Her... Read More about Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture.

The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow (2016)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R., Hardy, R., Warburton, J., & Marjoribanks, T. (2016). The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 41(4), 567-576. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3871

This paper reports a novel method for the incorporation of complex plant morphologies into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, allowing the numerical prediction of flows around individual plants. The morphological complexity, which comprises... Read More about The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow.
