(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-02)This paper presents an improved bivariate mixed distribution, which is capable of modeling the dependence of daily rainfall from two distinct sources (e.g., rainfall from two stations, two consecutive days, or two instruments ...
-
(2014-01-14)The influence of two large-scale circulation patterns (the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)), and the effect of the interdecadal modulation of ENSO on precipitation in the state ...
-
(2013)The one-dimensional (1D) power law velocity distribution, commonly used for computing velocities in open channel flow, has been derived empirically. However, a multitude of problems, such as scour around bridge piers, ...
-
(2003)The potential maximum retention, S, of the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method (SCS, 1956) was derived for a large set of published infiltration data ranging from Plainfield sand to Yololight clay using ...
-
(Sultan Qaboos University, 2002)Many aquifers around the globe are located in coastal areas and are thus subjected to the seawater intrusion phenomenon. The growth of population in coastal areas and the conjugate increase in human, agricultural, and ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for modeling the potential rate of infiltration in unsaturated soils. The theory is composed of six parts: (1) Shannon entropy, (2) principle of maximum entropy (POME), (3) specification ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for one‐dimensional movement of moisture in unsaturated soils in the vertically downward direction. The theory is composed of five parts: (1) Tsallis entropy, (2) principle of maximum entropy, ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Hydrometric information constitutes the fundamental input for planning, design, operation, and management of water resources systems. How to optimally site monitoring gauges such that they are effective and efficient in ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)An entropy-copula method is proposed for single-site monthly streamflow simulation. In this method, the joint distribution of adjacent monthly streamflows is constructed using the copula method, whereas the marginal ...
-
(2014)Since its reappearance at the Military Demarcation Line in 1993, malaria has been occurring annually in Korea. Malaria is regarded as a third grade nationally notifiable disease susceptible to climate change. The objective ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2013-02)Maps depicting the spatial variation of hydrological drought severity for Texas are presented in this report. The return periods chosen are 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years for drought durations of 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 ...
-
(2002)Asymptotic bias in large quantiles and moments for three parameter estimation methods, including the maximum likelihood method (MLM), moments method (MOM) and linear moments method (LMM), is derived when a probability ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Synthetic streamflows at different sites in a river basin are needed for planning, operation, and management of water resources projects. Modeling the temporal and spatial dependence structure of monthly streamflow at ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)River flow synthesizing and downscaling are required for the analysis of risks associated with water resources management plans and for regional impact studies of climate change. This paper presents a probabilistic model ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)This paper presents a multimodel regression-sampling algorithm (MRS) for monthly streamflow simulation. MRS is motivated from the acknowledgment that typical nonparametric models tend to simulate sequences exhibiting too ...
-
(AGU Publications, 2015)Simplified flood propagation models are often employed in practical applications for hydraulic and hydrologic analyses. In this paper, we present a new numerical method for the solution of the Linear Parabolic Approximation ...
-
(Versita, 2007-12)Extremes of stream flow and precipitation are commonly modeled by heavytailed distributions. While scrutinizing annual flow maxima or the peaks over threshold, the largest sample elements are quite often suspected to be ...
-
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2011)This study describes and interprets the evolution of grain-size distribution of sediment yields generated in an experimental soil flume subjected to downstream and upstream moving rain storms. Results of laboratory ...
-
(2002)It is hypothesized that the impulse response of a linearized convective diffusion wave (CD) model is a probability distribution suitable for flood frequency analysis. This flood frequency model has two parameters, which ...
