[1] In this study, we extend the advanced approach of combining tide gauge and satellite altimetry data with supplemental equations from adjacent tide gauge records of at least 30 years of common data to investigate the relative importance of the nonclimate contribution of vertical land movement to the observed rates of sea level change along the coasts of southern Europe. The sensitivity tests...

This article applies the Wakeby distribution (WAD) with high-order L-moments estimates (LH-ME) to annual extreme rainfall data obtained from 99 gauge stations in Thailand. The objectives of this study investigate obtain appropriate quantile and return levels for several periods, 2, 5, 10, 25 50 years. 95% confidence intervals quantiles determined WAD are derived using bootstrap technique. Isopl...

A new machine learning based bias correction method is presented and applied to sea level in a regional climate model. The corrections derived using this depend on the state of model it corrects. This contrasts with conventional methods that operate distributions output variables. dependence states allows for better performance classical skill scores, but also limits applicability models can pe...

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) makes hourly measurements of river discharge every day at thousands of stream-gauge stations across the United States. Regular patterns of diurnal variation have been observed in hundreds of these rivers, many of which are primary water sources for cities, industries, and agriculture. Diurnal cycles are evident in many river records (Figure 1, Merced R...

Wireless access networks based on millimetre wavelength technologies are mainly impaired by rain. To evaluate the rain effects over a communication system, it is essential to know the temporal and spatial evolution of rainfall rate. For this reason it is necessary to develop an experimental network which provides the adequate data to study, prevent and compensate the rain fade. In this paper, a...

In a climate change context, changes in extreme sea-levels rather than changes in the mean are of particular interest from the coastal protection point of view. In this work, extreme sea-levels in the Baltic Sea are investigated based on daily tide gauge records for the period 1916 2005 using the annual block maxima approach. Extreme events are analysed based on the generalised extreme value di...

In order to monitor variations in the Soya Warm Current (SWC), three high frequency (HF) radar stations were installed around the Soya Strait in August 2003. The radar covers a range of approximately 70 km from the coast. Comparisons of the observed current velocity with drifting buoy and shipboard ADCP data showed good agreement with root-mean-square differences of 20 cm/s. It is shown that th...

Dynamical assimilation of surface elevation from tide gauges is investigated to estimate the bottom drag coefficient and surface stress as a first step in improving modeled tidal and wind-driven circulation in the Chesapeake Bay. A two-dimensional shallow water model and an adjoint variational method with a limited memory quasi-Newton optimization algorithm are used to achieve this goal. Assimi...

The influence of the most representative winter patterns of atmospheric variation in the Northern Hemisphere on precipitation variability and on river flow regimes was evaluated for the Miño River basin (NW Iberian Peninsula). The Arctic Oscillation (AO) was also considered in order to analyze the effect of a larger-scale atmospheric mode on precipitation and river flow. Precipitation data were...
