FLEMO_flash – Flood Loss Estimation MOdels for companies and households affected by flash floods [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
In light of the increasing losses from flash floods intensified by climate change, there is a critical need for improved loss models. Loss assessments predominantly focus on fluvial flood processes, leaving a significant gap in understanding the key ...

Regional reconstruction of flash flood history in the Guadarrama range (Central System, Spain)

, 2016
Flash floods are a common natural hazard in Mediterranean mountain environments and responsible for serious economic and human disasters. The study of flash flood dynamics and their triggers is a key issue; however, the retrieval of historical data is ...

Large‐Scale Structural Dynamics in the Tail Fiber Modulate the Infective Transition of the T7 Bacteriophage

Small, EarlyView.
During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Weather radar network benefit model for flash flood casualty reduction

, 2019
A monetized flash flood casualty reduction benefit model is constructed for application to meteorological radar networks. Geospatial regression analyses show that better radar coverage of the causative rainfall improves flash flood warning performance ...

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, EarlyView.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

3D model and morphometry of the Beringin watershed as an effort for flash flood disaster risk reduction in Semarang

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The Beringin watershed is one of the watersheds (DAS) located in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. During 2010 – 2017 in this watershed area, there have been 8 flood disasters, the last two of which changed from an inundation flood to a flash flood type.

Towards a demonstrator of flash flood warning system

, 2007
Flash floods are known to be one of the most dangerous natural killers. They occur as a result of very heavy rainfall distributed over an area within a short period of time.

Temporal, species‐specific variation in activity patterns of bats (Chiroptera) along a boreal river basin in Västerbotten, Sweden

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal variation in photoperiods, energetic demands, and reproductive constraints are expected to strongly influence bat activity at high latitudes, yet empirical evidence from boreal systems is limited. We used passive acoustic monitoring to examine spatial, temporal, and feeding activity patterns of bats along a boreal river basin in Sweden (64°N ...
