Uncertainty in river discharge observations: a quantitative analysis

G Di Baldassarre, A Montanari - Hydrology and Earth System …, 2009 - hess.copernicus.org

A hydraulic study on the applicability of flood rating curves

G Di Baldassarre, P Claps - Hydrology Research, 2011 - iwaponline.com
Several hydrological studies have shown that river discharge records are affected by
significant uncertainty. This uncertainty is expected to be very high for river flow data referred …

Uncertainty in streamflow rating curves: methods, controls and consequences
