Entropy–Copula in Hydrology and Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he entropy theory has been widely applied in hydrology for probability inference based on incomplete information and the principle of maximum entropy. Meanwhile, copulas have been extensively used for multivariate analysis ...
A Nonparametric Multivariate Multi-Index Drought Monitoring Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate and reliable drought monitoring is essential to drought mitigation efforts and reduction of social vulnerability. A variety of indices, such as the standardized precipitation index (SPI), are used for drought ...
Global Patterns of Hottest, Coldest, and Extreme Diurnal Variability on Earth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Flood Forecasting and Inundation Mapping Using HiResFlood-UCI and Near-Real-Time Satellite Precipitation Data: The 2008 Iowa Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loods are among the most devastating natural hazards in society. Flood forecasting is crucially important in order to provide warnings in time to protect people and properties from such disasters. This research applied the ...
Geometrical Characterization of Precipitation Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite estimates and weather forecast models have made it possible to observe and predict precipitation over large spatial scales. Despite substantial progress in observing patterns of precipitation, characterization ...
Precipitation Prediction Skill for the West Coast United States: From Short to Extended Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation variability significantly influences the heavily populated West Coast of the United States, raising the need for reliable predictions. We investigate the region?s short- to extended-range precipitation ...
Assessing the Impacts of Different WRF Precipitation Physics in Hurricane Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerical weather prediction models play a major role in weather forecasting, especially in cases of extreme events. The Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF), among others, is extensively used for both research and ...
How Has Human-Induced Climate Change Affected California Drought Risk?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he current California drought has cast a heavy burden on statewide agriculture and water resources, further exacerbated by concurrent extreme high temperatures. Furthermore, industrial-era global radiative forcing brings ...
As ENSO Changes, So Change the World’s Watersheds
