This study first focuses on comprehensive evaluating three widely used satellite precipitation products (TMPA 3B42V6, TMPA 3B42RT, and CMORPH) with a dense rain gauge network in the Mishui basin (9972 km) in ...

The results of streamflow trend studies are often characterized by mostly insignificant trends and inexplicable spatial patterns. In our study region, Western Austria, this applies especially for trends of annually averaged runoff. However, analysing the altitudinal aspect, we found that there is a trend gradient from higher-altitude to lower-altitude stations, i.e. a pattern of mostly positive...

The study aims to assess climate change impacts on streamflow drought in a catchment upstream of Tseng-Wen Reservoir which is the main water supplier in southern Taiwan. A singular-value-decomposition statistical downscaling method and a stochastic weather generator were applied to six different general circulation models for rainfall and temperature downscaling. Two emission climate change sce...

Federal, State and local water supply, regulatory, and planning agencies require easy-touse, technically-defensible, decision-support (DS) applications that can evaluate impacts of proposed water withdrawals, determine baseline streamflow conditions needed for sustainability of aquatic habitat, and estimate inflows to drinking-water-supply reservoirs for safe yield analyses at ungaged locations...

The interest in the use of mathematical models for simulation hydrological processes has largely increased especially prediction runoff. It is subject extreme research among engineers and hydrologists. This study attempts to develop a simple conceptual model that reflects features arid environment where availability data scarce. simulates an hourly streamflow hydrograph peak flow rate any given...

The streamflow and water level complexity of the Poyang Lake basin has been investigated over multiple time-scales using daily observations of the water level and streamflow spanning from 1954 through 2013. The composite multiscale sample entropy was applied to measure the complexity and the Mann-Kendall algorithm was applied to detect the temporal changes in the complexity. The results show th...

Estimates of low streamflow statistics are required for a variety of water resource applications. At gauged river sites, the estimation of low streamflow statistics requires estimation of annual n-day minimum streamflows, selection of a probability distribution to describe annual minimums, and estimation of the distribution’s parameters. Using L-moment diagrams, the ability of various probabili...

—Channel assignment assigns proper channels for interfaces, which helps dramatically reduce interference and improve network capacity. Routing selects proper paths for packet delivery, which can also help improve network capacity. In order to reduce computational complexity of joint multicast routing and channel assignment, multicast routing and channel assignment are regarded as two separate ...

Recent advances in paleoclimatology have revealed dramatic long-term hydroclimatic variations that provide a context for limited historical records. A notable data set derived from a relatively dense network of paleoclimate proxy records in North America is the Living Blended Drought Atlas (LBDA): a gridded tree-ring-based reconstruction of summer Palmer Drought Severity Index. This index has b...
