Influence of Rainfall Patterns on Rainfall–Runoff Processes: Indices for the Quantification of Temporal Distribution of Rainfall

Water
To understand the influence of rainfall patterns on rainfall–runoff processes, we propose two indices: skewnessPEAK (skewp), representing the relative timing of peak rainfall, and the normalized root-mean-square error peak (NRMSEp), which quantifies the concentration of rainfall near the peak.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Microinsurance : a case study of the Indian rainfall index insurance market [PDF]

Rainfall index insurance provides a payout based on measured local rainfall during key phases of the agricultural season, and in principle can help rural households diversify a key source of idiosyncratic risk.

Rainfall Index as a Measure of Change of Rainfall

An attempt has been made to develop a measure of change of rainfall in a region from one situation to another situation in general and from one period to another period in particular. This article has been prepared to describe this measure along with its numerical application in the context of change of rainfall in Assam from the period 2009 - 2011  to

Gate‐Align‐SED: Semi‐Supervised Sound Event Detection via Adaptive Feature Gating and Cross‐Task Alignment in Situation Awareness

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Overview of the proposed Gate‐Align‐SED, including two stages of training: (1) Mean‐Teacher SSL Training; and (2) Enhancer Model Training. In complex real‐world environments such as disaster monitoring, effective sound event detection (SED) is often hindered by the presence of noise and limited labeled data.

Shapley Additive Explanation for Local Class Differentiation: Local Explainability for Class Differentiation in Classification Models

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An instance‐level, model‐agnostic explanation of class differentiation is introduced through SHAP‐LCD, linking probability shifts to feature‐wise Shapley contributions. The method operates on tabular and image data and is released in a fully reproducible implementation, offering a transparent way to examine, at each instance, why predictive models ...

Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...

Rainfall prediction in the northeast region of Thailand using Cooperative Neuro-Fuzzy Technique

, 2012
Accurate rainfall forecasting is a crucial task for reservoir operation and flood prevention because it can provide an extension of lead-time for flow forecasting. This study proposes two rainfall time series prediction models, the Single Fuzzy Inference
