Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Coarsely Resolved Precipitation Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most of the literature dealing with hydrologic frequency analysis treats data as being exact and error free. This paper demonstrates that the use of common estimators for distribution parameters and quantiles can lead to ...
Closure to “Training Artificial Neural Networks to Perform Rainfall Disaggregation” by Steven J. Burian, S. Rocky Durrans, Stephan J. Nix, and Robert E. Pitt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
PnET-II3SL/SWAT: Modeling the Combined Effects of Forests and Agriculture on Water Availability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The climate change and variability phenomenon, because of its potential to exert significant influences on the hydrologic cycle, the economy, and human society as a whole, has drawn considerable attention from the scientific ...
Estimation of Depth-Area Relationships using Radar-Rainfall Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Depth-area relationships, such as those published by the National Weather Service in TP 40 and the NOAA Atlas 2, enable conversion of point rainfall depths to areal average depths for the same storm duration and recurrence ...
Hydraulic Resistance in Grass Swales Designed for Small Flow Conveyance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Grass swales, originally used for erosion control in agricultural settings, are now widely employed in urban environments as an effective best management practice for controlling pollutants in stormwater runoff. In particular, ...
Treatment of Zeroes in Tail Modeling of Low Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of zeroes in a record of low flows usually has been interpreted as being indicative of a stream that goes dry during some periods. However, in some instances, zeroes may appear in a gauging record simply because ...
Training Artificial Neural Networks to Perform Rainfall Disaggregation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrologists and engineers need methods to disaggregate hourly rainfall data into subhourly increments for many hydrologic and hydraulic engineering applications. In the present engineering environment where time efficiency ...
Rainfall Disaggregation Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A precipitation time series is often a necessary input for the analysis and design of hydrologic and hydraulic systems. The precipitation records employed for these purposes can be either measured observations or generated ...
Federal Highway Administration Vehicle Classification from Video Data and a Disaggregation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To assess highway system performance, states are required to submit compositional traffic count reports to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). A methodology was developed for obtaining compositional vehicle counts ...
Historical Development of Wet-Weather Flow Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The management of wet-weather flow (WWF) is necessary to maintain the quality of urban water resources. Throughout history, strategies have been implemented to control WWF for many reasons, including flood and water quality ...
