Single-site monthly streamflow simulation using entropy theory
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)Using entropy theory, a new method for single-site monthly streamflow simulation is developed, which is capable of preserving mean, standard deviation, skewness, and lag-one correlation. The method entails deriving joint ... -
Simulation of the entire range of daily precipitation using a hybrid probability distribution
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Underestimation of extreme values is a widely acknowledged issue in daily precipitation simulation. Nonparametric precipitation generators have inherent limitations in representing extremes. Parametric generators can ... -

Reducing uncertainty in estimates of frequency distribution parameters using composite likelihood approach and copula‐based bivariate distributions
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)Conventional multivariate hydrological frequency analysis utilizes only the concurrent parts of data sets, leaving a lot of nonconcurrent data unutilized. Simultaneous inclusion of such nonconcurrent data can significantly ... -
Monthly river flow simulation with a joint conditional density estimation network
(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 ... -
Modeling multisite streamflow dependence with maximum entropy copula
(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 ... -
Entropy-copula method for single-site monthly streamflow simulation
(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 ... -
Entropy theory-based criterion for hydrometric network evaluation and design: Maximum information minimum redundancy
(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 ... -
Entropy theory for movement of moisture in soils
(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, ... -
Entropy theory for derivation of infiltration equations
(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 ... -

A new frequency domain analytical solution of a cascade of diffusive channels for flood routing
(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 ... -
A multimodel regression-sampling algorithm for generating rich monthly streamflow scenarios
(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 ... -
A modified surface energy balance algorithm for land (M-SEBAL) based on a trapezoidal framework
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been designed and widely used (and misused) worldwide to estimate evapotranspiration across varying spatial and temporal scales using satellite remote sensing over ... -
A Kinematic Model for Surface Irrigation
(American Geophysical Union, 1978-04)A kinematic wave model is developed to study surface irrigation. Depending on the variability of infiltration and the kinematic wave friction parameter, three cases are distinguished. Explicit analytical solutions are ... -
Psycholinguistic approaches to humor
(Routledge, 2017)Excerpt: "Humor both exposes and disrupts the usual ways of using language. It also disrupts the rigidity of conventional ways of thinking, for it plays not only with the rules of language but also with the rules of logic. ... -
Potential Impact of Neonicotinoid Use on Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in Texas: A Historical Analysis
(2017-08-22)The widespread use of neonicotinoid insecticides in recent years has led to increasing environmental concern, including impacts to avian populations. In Texas and across their range, Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) ...
