Impacts of Urbanization and Climate Variability on Floods in Northeastern Illinois
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Trend analysis of annual flood peaks on 12 small urbanizing watersheds in northeastern Illinois indicated that annual peaks, and thus frequency and impact of flooding, increased over the past several decades. An increase ...
Value of Probabilistic Weather Forecasts: Assessment by Real-Time Optimization of Irrigation Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a modeling framework for real-time decision support for irrigation scheduling using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) probabilistic rainfall forecasts. The forecasts and ...
Incorporating Reanalysis-Based Short-Term Forecasts from a Regional Climate Model in an Irrigation Scheduling Optimization Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A coupled simulation-optimization with reanalysis-based short-term weather forecasts from a regional climate model (RCM) is proposed to optimize an irrigation scheduling problem. Using different physical configurations of ...
