In the context of tomographic cosmic shear surveys, there exists a nulling transformation weak lensing observations (also called BNT transform) that allows us to simplify correlation structure observations, as well build observables depend only on localized range redshifts and thus independent from low-redshift/small-scale modes. This procedure renders possible accurate, from-first-principles, ...

In tidally affected coastal catchments detention pond should be provided to store flood surface water. A comparison between the full simulation approach based on the joint probability method and time series rainfall modeling via the annual maximum of pond level was undertaken to investigate the assumptions of independence between variables that are necessary in the joint probability method. The...

Catastrophic flooding resulting from extreme meteorological events has occurred more frequently and drawn great attention in recent years in China. In coastal areas, extreme precipitation and storm tide are both inducing factors of flooding and therefore their joint probability would be critical to determine the flooding risk. The impact of storm tide or changing environment on flooding is igno...
