ABSTRACT Reliable design precipitation estimation is vital for flood risk management and infrastructure design. In Japan, the Depth‐Area‐Duration (DAD) method is widely used for operational Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimation, but it lacks a probabilistic link to rainfall frequency and does not yield the spatiotemporal rainfall fields ...

“Negative feedback” in tropical rainstorms
Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Soviet Union have made unique oceanographic measurements that show that rainstorms in the tropics sometimes put a damper on their own activity.Two NOAA scientists and a meteorologist from the USSR Hydrometeorological Service reported recently that measurements they made last ...

Lack of Hydraulic Acclimation in Response to Multiple Droughts and Recovery
ABSTRACT Human‐caused climate change is expected to bring more frequent and extended droughts with shorter wet periods of relief in between for many regions of the world. Critical knowledge gaps remain around the extent to which tree species can acclimate physiologically to repeated droughts.

GIS‐AHP‐Based Spatial Analysis of Flood Susceptibility: A Case Study of Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan
A combined GIS‐AHP method maps flood risk in the D.I. Khan area and identifies prevailing high‐risk areas and verifies findings with historical information. The research assists in effective flood management, risk‐based planning, as well as enhanced resilience in fast urbanizing areas. ABSTRACT Floods rank among the world's most deadly hazards and have

The Deadman River watershed (British Columbia, Canada) was severely impacted by the Sparks Lake Fire in 2021. Timelapse photogrammetry reveals sharp post‐fire channel widening and increase in migration rate. Through multispectral remote‐sensing analysis, these morphodynamic changes are related to burn severity affecting the watershed.

Land cover and elevation are shown to influence the proportion of stream source waters across glacial and non‐glacial streams. Groundwater makes up a large proportion of both early season and late season flow in most glacial and non‐glacial streams, while the timing of snow and ice melt is driven by the presence or absence of a glacier within the ...
