Performance of multi-level association rule mining for the relationship between causal factor patterns and flash flood magnitudes in a humid area

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
Integrated with K-means clustering and Apriori algorithm, the multi-level association rule mining is proposed to investigate the causal factor patterns of flash floods, which consists of the following three steps: first, the association between causal ...

Identification of flash flood hazard zones in mountainous small watershed of Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2016
Flash-floods develop at space and time scales that conventional observation systems were not able to monitor for rainfall, stream flow and sediment discharge. This condition resulted in greater casualties and tremendous economic losses.

Sub-daily simulation of mountain flood processes based on the modified soil water assessment tool (SWAT) model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Floods not only provide a large amount of water resources, but they also cause serious disasters. Although there have been numerous hydrological studies on flood processes, most of these investigations were based on rainfall-type floods in plain areas ...

The Emergence of a Climate Change Signal in Ireland's Rainfall Extremes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Analysis of Irish precipitation records (1930–2019) shows significant relationships between rainfall extremes and global mean surface temperature (GMST), with increases of 12%–27% per °C of warming. Emergence of unusual climate conditions is already evident at several stations, most notably in the west during winter and the southeast during summer ...

Warning! The use of meteorological information during a flash-flood warning process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Warning is a key issue to reduce flash floods impacts. But, despite many studies, local and national authorities still struggle to issue good flash floods warnings. We will argue that this failure results from a classical approach of warnings, based on a

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Exploration of the spatiotemporal characteristics and triggering factors of flash flood in China

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Flash floods are a major natural hazard, increasingly intensified by the growing frequency of extreme weather events, causing substantial casualties and economic losses.

Nutrient Management for Higher Productivity of Swarna Sub1 Under Flash Floods Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Two field experiments were conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tarahara, Nepal during 2012 and 2013 to determine the effect of agronomic management on growth and yield of Swarna Sub1 under flash floods.

The Community – Based Flood Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) in Beringin Watershed in Semarang City [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Population growth in Semarang city is certainly increasing land demand for settlement. Limited land and weak regulation enforcement of land control trigger the land use change including the watershed area.

Late Quaternary climatic variability in the Eastern Mediterranean recorded in Hermes Cave, Corinth Rift, Greece

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.
