Global spatial sensitivity of runoff to subsurface permeability using the active subspace method
Hillslope scale runoff is generated as a result of interacting factors that include water influx rate, surface and subsurface properties, and antecedent saturation. Heterogeneity of these factors affects the existence and characteristics of runoff. This heterogeneity becomes an increasingly relevant consideration as hydrologic models are extended and employed to capture greater detail in runoff...
متن کاملTopographic Variability: Implications for Lava Flow Modeling
Introduction: Glaze et al. [1] and Baloga et al. [2] have both recently indicated the importance of understanding the scale of a lava flow relative to the surrounding topography in extracting inferences about rheologic changes and the interpretation of the style of emplacement. The underlying scientific issue is whether flow emplacement is controlled by the largescale topographic inclination or...
متن کاملSpatial variability analysis of subsurface soil in Mashhad city, NE Iran
Reliable characterization of subsurface soil in urban areas is a major concern in geotechnical and geological engineering projects. In this regard, this research deals with development of a 3D geological engineering model on Mashhad City soil using Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) approach. The intense variability of soil in the study area has sometimes caused serious problems in civil engi...
متن کاملInternet Traffic Modeling using the Index of Variability
In this paper, we propose a novel and mathematically rigorous measure of variability, called the index of variability (Hv ), that fully and accurately captures the degree of variability of a typical network traffic process at each time scale and is analytically tractable for many popular traffic models. Using this proposed measure, we then analyzed two traffic models: the Two-State Markov Modul...
متن کاملPredicting spatio-temporal variability in fire return intervals using a topographic roughness index
The shapes of landscapes are fundamental to ecosystem processes at various spatial scales. Topographic roughness index (TRI) is a measure of variability in the landscape surface and a proxy of the potential of disturbances to propagate across the earth’s surface, such as a wildland fire burning across a landscape. We describe the significance of TRI, present methods for calculation, and demonst...
