Abstract: Singularities play a significant role in the characterization of time series. The temporal characteristics of fluctuating significant wave height time series are investigated in this study. The hourly time series from 24 ...

Abstract: Significant wave height is a very important variable used in ocean engineering studies. Spatial variation of the significant wave height is very important for wave energy abstraction studies which is highly dependent on ...

Abstract: Wave variability and connections with climate indices along the U.S. West Coast were analyzed in this study. Monthly significant wave height data from five buoy stations that have an observation period ranging 18–37 years ...

Abstract: Predictions of the discharge and the associated sediment concentration are very useful ingredients in any water resources reservoir design, planning, maintenance, and operation. Although there are many empirical relationships ...

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to propose a standard regional dependence function (SRDF) based on concepts of semivariogram and especially point cumulative semivariogram for regional streamflow estimation. The SRDFs are ...

Abstract: Scour at a downstream vertical gate of a dam is investigated using a fuzzy logic inference system. The application is presented for experimental data sets. A comparison is made between a regression formulation (RM) and a ...

Abstract: Persistence is the most important property in any hydrologic design concerning the storage capacity of reservoirs, average return periods, failure risks, and drought properties. Its consideration in analytical derivations ...
