Continuous regionalization for massive surface waves dataset

A Statistical Method for Forecasting Rainfall over Puerto Rico

Using results from a factor analysis regionalization of nontropical storm convective rainfall over the island of Puerto Rico, a statistical methodology is investigated for its potential to forecast rain events over limited areas. Island regionalization is performed on a 15-yr dataset, while the predictive model is derived from 3 yr of surface and rainfall data. The work is an initial attempt at...

Numerical study of pattern formation in weakly damped parametric surface waves

We present a numerical study of parametrically driven surface waves in uids of low viscosity. The equations governing uid motion in the bulk and the appropriate boundary conditions at the free surface are approximated by a nonlocal set of equations involving surface coordinates alone, thus allowing the numerical analysis of the large aspect ratio limit (the aspect ratio being the ratio between ...

Compactness for Regionalization and its Application in Land-Use Planning

The Effect of Free-surface Topography on Seismic Waves in the Moon

Introduction: During the Apollo era, a four station seismic network was deployed upon the nearside of the Moon, and returned the first-ever seismic dataset for another body in the Solar System (Fig. 1). The Apollo passive seismic network consisted of four separate stations, deployed on the Moon by the Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 astronauts from 1969 to 1972, and remained in continuous operation u...

Regionalization of landscape pattern indices using multivariate cluster analysis.

Regionalization, or the grouping of objects in space, is a useful tool for organizing, visualizing, and synthesizing the information contained in multivariate spatial data. Landscape pattern indices can be used to quantify the spatial pattern (composition and configuration) of land cover features. Observable patterns can be linked to underlying processes affecting the generation of landscape pa...
