This paper presents a numerical investigation of air pollutant transport from the Los Angeles Basin to Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) under the stably stratified wintertime, synoptic highpressure conditions that existed during lo-13 February 1987. The Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CSU-RAMS) is used to develop fields of different atmospheric variables for 54 ...

Stratigraphic inverse modeling using the SEDPAK stratigraphic simulator established the size of the physical parameters that together controlled the development of the stratal patterns in the late Tertiary Ulleung Basin, East (Japan) Sea. The modeling results provided a quantitative geohistory of the basin. This included the dimension of variations in rates of tectonic subsidence (or uplift) an...

With increasing pressure for a more ecological approach to marine fisheries and environmental management, there is a growing need to understand and predict changes in marine ecosystems. Biogeochemical and physical oceanographic models are well developed, but extending these further up the food web to include zooplankton and fish is a major challenge. The difficulty arises because organisms at h...

Nowadays, the water supply and water demand management are the main issues in water resources planning. It is more important in a river basin with a complex system facing with droughts, climate changes, inter-basin water transfer and operational and under study dams. In this paper, for water resources planning in a river basin and reducing the difference between water resources and water demand...

With the rapid development of the Yangtze River economic belt, the amount of waste-sewage water discharged into the Yangtze River basin increases sharply year by year, which has impeded the sustainable development of the Yangtze River basin. The water security along the Yangtze River basin is very important for China, It is something aboutwater security of roughly one-third of China's populatio...

Yinggehai Basin is an elongate Cenozoic rift basin on the northwestern margin of the South China Sea continental shelf. Its thick ( 17 km) basin fill is characterized by high geothermal gradient and high overpressure. Overpressure associated with nonequilibrium compaction mainly occurs at depths more than 2800 m at the basin center and more than 4000 m at the basin margin because the shallow-bu...

Since direct experimental evidence is not available, this must be verified through a modeling approach, providedadequate data be available. Many statistical methods are used to study the relation between independent anddependent variables.This research was carried out at the western part of Jazmurian basin tlocated in the southeast ofIran. In this paperused ten physical characteristics such as ...

A devastating flood in Red River valley in 1997 emphasized the need to study the flood control measures in the Red River basin using state of the art modeling tools. The Red River and its floodplains can be modeled using one-dimensional, quasi two-dimensional or fully two-dimensional hydrodynamic models. Each modeling approach has its own advantages and limitations. The main purpose of this rep...

We present a modeling approach t at couples information about snow cover duration from remote sensing with a distributed nergy balance model to calculate he spatial distribution of s ow ater equivalence (SWE) in a 1.2 km 2mountain basin atthe peak of the accumulation season. I situ measurements of incident solar radiation, incident longwave radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, and win...
