Photovoltaic (PV) soiling profiles exhibit a sawtooth shape, where cleaning events and deposition periods alternate. Generally, the rate at which accumulates is assumed to be constant within each period. In reality, changes in rates can occur because of sudden variations climatic conditions, e.g., dust storms or prolonged rain. The existing models used extract profile from PV performance data m...

The segmentation of a time series into piecewise stationary segments is an important problem both in analysis and signal processing. In the presence multiscale change points with large jumps over short intervals small long intervals, methods achieve good adaptivity but require model selection step for removing false positives duplicate estimators. We propose localised application Schwarz criter...

Abstract As the impacts of climate change increase, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change advises that global migration will also increase. A deeper understanding factors and interactions influence decision-making climate-affected populations is needed to more accurately predict estimates adequately inform prepare future receiving cities. In this study, we survey thirty-two experts in field...

Interferometric SAR (InSAR) algorithms exploit synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to estimate ground displacements, which are updated at each new satellite acquisition, over wide areas. The analysis of the resulting time series finds its application, among others, in monitoring tasks regarding seismic faults, subsidence, landslides, and urban structures, for an accurate timely response is re...
