Abstract Coastal inundation occurs when the total height of mean sea level (MSL), tide, and surge, including subsequent propagation into estuaries, exceeds a given threshold. We developed a nonparametric Joint Probability of Maxima Method and applied to four major Australian estuaries, deriving frequency‐based exceedance thresholds and quantifying the ...

Abstract The production, transport, loss, and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) are closely connected with hydrometeorological drivers. While terrestrial production depends on biogeochemical variables like soil moisture, air temperature, and the contact area between water and organic matter sources, export is determined by water availability and

Performance of a parabolic trough solar collector
The performance of a South African parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) module has been characterised using the ASHRAE 93-1986 standard. The collector is designed for component testing and development in a solar energy research programme. Low-temperature testing was performed at Mangosuthu Technikon’s STARlab facility using water as the working ...

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the quality and nutritional properties of guava slices dried in a greenhouse solar dryer (operated under mixed and direct modes) and an electric stove at 50°C. The results showed that mixed‐mode solar drying resulted in greater retention of vitamin C (112.60 mg/100 g), carotenoids (0.37 mg/g), and ...
