BAHC  

Definition

  • Biospheric Aspects of the Hydrologic Cycle (BAHC) is an interdisciplinary project combining and integrating expertise from ecophysiology, pedology, hydrology, meteorology, and other disciplines. BAHC is one of eleven program elements of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP). BAHC attempts to answer the central question: How does vegetation interact with the physical processes of the hydrological cycle? BAHC develops techniques and algorithms to provide climatic data at scales for hydroecological research. Furthermore, BAHC provides soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer models at larger scales, in particular, the areal pattern of heat and moisture fluxes according to land-surface heterogeneity.
