Aggregation effects on tritium-based mean transit times and young water fractions in spatially heterogeneous catchments and groundwater systems
Kirchner (2016a) demonstrated that aggregation errors due to spatial heterogeneity, represented by two homogeneous subcatchments, could cause severe underestimation of the mean transit times (MTTs) of water travelling through catchments when simple lumped parameter models were applied to interpr...
