Abstract: Computer-prepared analyses of the upper-air wind field are being made for several levels for the tropical Pacific Ocean area of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Computer analyses compare favorably with conventional ...

Abstract: In recent years, there have been an increasing number of watersheds that relied on weather radars to provide accurate precipitation information for flood warning purposes. The major impetus for using a radar-based flood ...

Abstract: In order to address questions relating to the cause of local flooding in many downstream watersheds in Houston, TX, a computer model has been developed that handles both a surcharged pipeflow condition and a variable ...

Abstract: Recent advances in hydrologic models have depended on the use of radar rainfall input in physically based, fully distributed models. Previous research conducted for case studies near Houston, Texas, have focused on the use ...

Abstract: In recent years, there have been an increasing number of watersheds that relied on weather radars to provide accurate precipitation information for flood warning purposes. The major impetus for using a radar-based flood ...

Abstract: Buffalo Bayou, a major stream in Houston, Texas, was the subject of a detailed water quality study. The stream is heavily stressed by domestic waste loads and has shown significant degradation in water quality since 1970. ...

Abstract: Flood forecasting requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal rainfall rates over a catchment. Depending on the Z?R relationship and threshold values, processing of WSR-88D reflectivity data affects the rainfall ...

Abstract: An experiment in the automatic preparation of input data for use in numerical prediction is described. The process includes the automatic recognition, identification, and decoding of the raw teletypewriter data up to the ...
