Abstract: The dependence between temporal sampling error in satellite-derived rainfall estimates and rainfall rate is of scientific and practical interest. We explore the use of copulas to construct the needed joint distribution ...

Abstract: In this study we investigated sampling-related errors of tipping-bucket (TB) rain gauge measurements, focusing on the gauge's ability to represent the small-scale rainfall temporal variability. We employed a simple TB ...

Abstract: Flood frequency estimation in the United States has been primarily driven by statistical analysis for the past one hundred years. For ungauged locations, the regionalized equations are developed to provide annual exceedance ...

Abstract: Extreme rainfall in midwestern United States has gotten more common over the last half century, thus increasing flooding events across the region. As a result, traditional flood mitigation measures are commonly overwhelmed ...

Abstract: An increase in extreme rainfall frequency across the midwestern United States has been accompanied by an increase in damaging floods. The US has over 90,000 dams, more than 75% of which are small and rarely used for flood ...

Abstract: In this paper, a simple hydrologic example is employed to illustrate the important features of reservoir regulated flood frequency. Despite its practical significance, the estimation of reservoir regulated flood frequency ...

Abstract: This study examines the effects that the spatial configuration of flood retention ponds have on the reduction of flood peaks across different spatial scales in the catchment. A continuous simulation approach is used to ...

Abstract: To meet environmental pollution standards, the operators of industrial plants must include environmental criteria in their operating objectives. This involves dealing with the variability and uncertainty of natural processes, ...
