An analysis of scaling eects is performed to evaluate whether data aggregation is a useful regionalization tool or whether it leads to an unacceptable loss of information. One issue concerns the appropriate resolution of digital elevation models (DEMs) used to derive geomorphological input parameter

β¦ Synopsis
The paper focuses on the problem of long-range dependence when analysing time series of hydrological data. Three time series are analysed: the monthly rainfall in the town of Florence, Italy; the daily minimum temperatures in the same town; and, finally, the daily water inflow to Lake Maggiore, Italy. Heuristic methods and maximum likelihood estimation of a parametric model are used to investigate the Hurst phenomena and to detect whether long-range dependence is present in any of the time series. We found that long-range dependence is not present in the first series but it is present in the last two. The daily water inflow to Lake Maggiore was modelled by a fractionally differenced ARIMA model (FARIMA) which contains a long-range dependence component. It is shown that the fit is much better than the one provided by more traditional ARIMA models that do not have such a component.
Sommario: Lo studio considera il problema dell'identificazione dei fenomeni di dipendenza a lungo termine (long range dependence) nelle serie temporali di dati idrologici. Allo scopo sono state analizzate tre serie temporali, rispettivamente quella dei totali mensili di precipitazione rflevati alla stazione dell'Osservatorio Ximeniano di Firenze, quella delle temperature minime giornaliere per la stessa stazione e quella degli afflussi giornalieri al Lago Maggiore. Per identificare la presenza di fenomeni di dipendenza long range, attraverso la valutazione della consistenza del fenomeno di Hurst, sono stati utilizzati sia metodi euristici, sia la stima a massima verosimiglianza di un modello parametrico. Due delle tre serie analizzate sono risultate caratterizzate da tale dipendenza. Per la serie degli afflussi al Lago Maggiore, si ~ inoltre proceduto alla simulazione attraverso un modello ARIMA a differenziazione frazionaria (FARIMA), la cui struttura contiene una componente long-range. I risultati ottenuti, mostrano che tale modello fornisce risultati significativamente migliod dei tradizionali modelli ARIMA, privi di tale componente.

These tests are based on a class of empirical processes marked by certain residuals. The paper gives their large sample behavior under null hypotheses. The design variabl
