Floods are the most frequent natural disasters affecting the Moravian-Silesian region. Therefore a system that could predict flood extents and help in the operative disaster management was requested. The FLOREON system was created to fulfil these requests. This article describes utilization of HPC (high performance computing) in running multiple hydrometeorological simulations concurrently in t...

Rain is a complex phenomenon and its simulation is usually very costly. In this article, the authors propose a fully-GPU rain simulation based on the utilization of particle systems. The flexibility of CUDA allows the authors to include, aside from the rainfall simulation, a system for the detection and handling of the collisions of particles against the scenario. This detection system allows f...

The use of satellite-born microwave sensor for estimation of rainfall has drawing attention, and is basic to worldwide projects like TRMM and the forthcoming GPM. Promising re sults in rainfall estimates were obtained with climatologically tunned radiance – rainfall relationships derived with a leveled probability technique in the VIS/IR, suggesting that such an approach have a significant pote...

Understanding the basic runoff processes in the Ethiopian highlands is vital for effective management and utilization of water resources and soil conservation planning. An important question for judging effectiveness of conservation practices is whether runoff is affected by ecology (mainly type of crop) or topography (landscape). A study was conducted in the 113 ha watershed of Maybar, located...

Indonesian government has promoted the acceleration of local reservoirs development in rural areas. This shall be integrated agri-cultural areas to increase its production. Therefore, identification potential location and type water harvesting infrastructure are crucial support optimize reservoir construction. Here, this research aims identify distribution Lampung Province. A Geographic Informa...

Rain-induced attenuation of microwaves poses a serious challenge to signal availability beyond 10 GHz frequencies. The challenges are even more pronounced in the subtropical and tropical regions with high intensities rain which is accompanied thunderstorms. Nigeria has an equatorial climate, identified by controlling rainfall. Rain significant factor various communication above Therefore, for e...
