The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) generated the global digital elevation/surface model (DEM/DSM) and orthorectified image (ORI) using the archived data of the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) onboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS, nicknamed “Daichi”), which was operated from 2006 to 2011. PRISM consisted of three panchromatic radiometer...

Granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. From discrete element simulations (DEM), several continuum fields like the deformation gradient and stress are computed and evaluated with the goal to formulate objective constitutive relations for the flow behavior. From a single simulation only, by applying timeand (local)...

This work presents an efficient probabilistic framework for the Bayesian calibration of micro-mechanical parameters Discrete Element Method (DEM) modelling. Firstly, superior behaviour iterative filter over sequential Monte Carlo calibrating is shown. The linear contact model with rolling resistance used simulating triaxial responses Toyoura sand under different confining pressures. Secondly, s...

introduction: planning and management of water resource and river basins needs use of conceptual hydrologic models which play a significant role in predicting basins response to different climatic and meteorological processes. evaluating watershed response through mathematical hydrologic models requires finding a set of parameter values of the model which provides thebest fit between observed a...

Hydrologic modeling of semi-arid watersheds is imperative for the development of appropriate water and soil conservation plans. In the current study, the efficiency of Kinematic Runoff and Erosion model-version 2 (K2) model was used to evaluate water discharge and sediment load simulation of Bar watershed, located in the north-eastern part of Iran. The K2 model relies on the kinematic wave appr...

Very little work has been done on the systematic evaluation of effect of compression on the accuracy of DEM derived using satellites imageries. Most of studies have been carried out for aerial images and models have been developed which relate DEM accuracy with compression. One such model predicts effect of compression on DEM accuracy as 0.2% of flight height for CR up to 15:1 but these models ...

We developed numerical codes designed for automated analysis of AIA/SDO image datasets in the 6 coronal filters, including: (i) coalignment test between different wavelengths with measurements of the altitude of the EUV-absorbing chromosphere, (ii) self-calibration by empirical correction of instrumental response functions, (iii) automated generation of differential emission measure (DEM) distr...

This study is focused on the evaluation of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Tokyo, Japan from data collected by the recently launched TerraSAR add-on for Digital Elevation Measurements (TanDEM-X), satellite of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The aim of the TanDEM-X mission is to use Interferometric SAR techniques to generate a consistent high resolution global DEM dataset. In order to gen...
