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 ...
Empirical Bed Load Transport Equations
(2014)
Bed load transport is of fundamental importance in river engineering. Although there are many bed load transport equations, there is still no consensus on which equation is the best and how to select a particular equation ...
Reconstruction of Dynamical Forecasting Model between Western Pacific Subtropical High Area Index and Its Summer Monsoon Impact Factors Based on the Improved Self-Memorization Principle
(Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014)
Long Lead Time Drought Forecasting Using a Wavelet and Fuzzy Logic Combination Model: A Case Study in Texas
(American Meterological Society, 2012-02)
Drought forecasting is important for drought risk management. Considering the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability and persistence in drought characteristics, this study developed a wavelet and fuzzy logic (WFL) ...
Demarcation of Prospective Groundwater Recharge Zones in Hard Rock Area from Southern India
(Academic Journals, 2011)
In semi-arid regions, particularly in hard rock areas (Southern India), shallow aquifers are a major source of potable groundwater. These aquifers are indiscriminately exploited to meet the growing demand of water for ...
A kinematic model for surface irrigation: An extension
(American Geophysical Union, 1982-06)
The kinematic model for surface irrigation, reported previously by Sherman and Singh (1978), is extended. Depending upon the duration of irrigation and time variability of infiltration, three cases are distinguished. ...
On the informative value of the largest sample element of log-Gumbel distribution
(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 ...
Case Studies and Benchmark Examples for the Use of Grading Entropy in Geotechnics
(Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2012)
Entropy approach for 2D velocity distribution in open-channel flow
(2011-11-21)
In this paper, considering time-averaged velocity as a random variable, two-dimensional (2D) velocity distributions in open-channel flow have been derived based on the Shannon entropy concept and the principle of maximum ...
Simulation of the entire range of daily precipitation using a hybrid probability distribution
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-03-21)
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 ...
