Coupled flow accumulation and atmospheric blocking govern flood duration

Towards COBIT-based Framework to Govern Flood Management

The worsening condition of floods in Malaysia, in terms of frequency and impact, calls for improvement in all aspects of flood management. In addition to technology enhancement of, and developing expertise, it is hoped that improvement on the governance of flood management could alleviate the problems relating to floods. Governance of flood management aims to address the issues related to flood...

Northern Hemisphere atmospheric blocking as simulated

Northern Hemisphere atmospheric blocking as simulated by 15 atmospheric general circulation models in the period 1979–1988 Abstract As a part of the Atmospheric Model Inter-comparison Project (AMIP), the behaviour of 15 general circulation models has been analysed in order to diagnose and compare the ability of the different models in simulating Northern Hemisphere midlatitude atmospheric block...

Coupled Oceanic-Atmospheric Variability and U.S. Streamflow

the crisis management of flood in isfahan using atmospheric system

heavy rains are one of the features of arid and semi arid climates which result in flood. this kind of rainfall originates from environmental and synoptic conditions. mediterranean cyclones are the major factor in heavy rainfall in iran, but these cyclones do not happen in some parts of iran such as southern and southeastern areas. in this study, it has been tried to pinpoint the synoptic reaso...

A three-stage assembly flow shop scheduling problem with blocking and sequence-dependent set up times

This paper considers a three-stage assembly flowshop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup < /div> times at the first stage and blocking times between each stage in such a way that the weighted mean completion time and makespan are minimized. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time using traditiona...
