This course presents the physics of the components of the water cycle for hydrologic modellers. The global hydrologic cycle is introduced as background, with a particular emphasis on the interrelation between global hydrology, climate, soils and vegetation. The major elements of the water cycle (snow, snowmelt, rainfall, evaporation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, and runoff processes) are each discussed from a quantitative, physically-based perspective. Modelling approaches are introduced for each, with reference to scale and domain objectives and to data requirements and availability.
