Changing Urban Temperature and Rainfall Patterns in Jakarta
A Comprehensive Historical Analysis
Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) is a rainfall threshold which initiates flooding in streams. It merely provides a binary output (yes or no) which has large uncertainties in forecasting. In this paper, we propose a new method by combining FFG with the Frequentist method to present t ...
A rainfall threshold-based approach to early warnings in urban data-scarce regions
A case study of pluvial flooding in Alexandria, Egypt
Rapidly expanding cities in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region are at risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall, insufficient drainage capacity, a lack of preparedness and insufficient data to conduct required studies. A low regret Early Warning Systems (EWS) usin ...
3D Ensemble Simulation of Seawater Temperature
An Application for Aquaculture Operations
During the past decades, the aquaculture industry has developed rapidly, due to drop in wild fish catch. Water quality variables play major role in aquaculture operations, specifically seawater temperature has major impact on the metabolism of the fish species and therefore on ...
Evaluating the benefits of merging near-real-time satellite precipitation products
A case study in the Kinu basin region, Japan
After the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission in 2014, many satellite precipitation products (SPPs) are available at finer spatiotemporal resolution and/or with reduced latency, potentially increasing the applicability of SPPs for near-real-time (NRT) ...
The paper presents the development of a Flood Index (FI) based on the flood hydrograph characteristics, namely flood magnitude ratio, rising curve gradient and time to peak. These characteristic values are normalized to their respective values corresponding to a 100-year flood ...
