Porsuk River Basin, located in the Central Anatolia, Turkey, has a drainage area of 10818.41 km2 and total length 460 km, which makes it significant region for variety hydrological hydropower studies. Therefore, is necessary to determine rainfall distribution over basin so that related projects processes, such as dam planning works, can be properly performed. To fulfil this aim, meteorological ...

Dental and skeletal fluorosis caused by consuming high-fluoride groundwater has been reported over several decades globally. Prediction maps to estimate the fluoride contaminated area rely on interpolation methods. This study presents a comparison of accuracy nine spatial methods in predicting groundwater. Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV), hold-out validation with an independent dataset w...

Post-disaster flood risk assessment is extremely difficult owing to the great uncertainties involved in all parts of exercise, e.g., uncertainty hydrologic–hydraulic models and depth–damage curves. In present study, a robust fast data-driven tool for residential introduced. The proposed can be used by scientists, practitioners and/or stakeholders as first step better understanding quantifying m...

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is widely concerned for its harmful impacts on global environment and human health, making air pollution monitoring so crucial indispensable. As the world’s first open, real-time, historical quality platform, OpenAQ collects provides government measurement research-level data from various channels. However, despite OpenAQ’s innovation in providing us w...

This paper presents an efficient parallel Adaptive Inverse Distance Weighting (AIDW) interpolation algorithm on modern Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The presented algorithm is an improvement of our previous GPU-accelerated AIDW algorithm by adopting fast k-nearest neighbors (kNN) search. In AIDW, it needs to find several nearest neighboring data points for each interpolated point to adaptivel...
