Climate change is a global issue that draws widespread attention from the international society. As an important component of the climate system, the water cycle is directly affected by climate change. Thus, it is very important to study the influences of climate change on the basin water cycle with respect to maintenance of healthy rivers, sustainable use of water resources, and sustainable so...

Characterizing the spatial scaling and dynamics of convective precipitation in mountainous terrain and the development of downscaling methods to transfer precipitation fields from one scale to another is the overall motivation for this research. Substantial progress has been made on characterizing the space-time organization of midwestern convective systems and tropical rainfall, which has led ...

Environmental monitoring of Earth from space has provided invaluable information for understanding land–atmosphere water and energy exchanges. However, the use of satellite-based precipitation observations in hydrologic and environmental applications is often limited by their coarse spatial resolutions. In this study, we propose a downscaling approach based on precipitation–land surface charact...

We consider the reordering buffer problem on a line consisting of n equidistant points. We show that, for any constant δ, an (offline) algorithm that has a buffer (1− δ) · k performs worse by a factor ofΩ(log n) than an offline algorithmwith buffer k. Inparticular, this demonstrates that theO(logn)-competitive online algorithmMovingPartition by Gamzu and Segev (ACM Trans. on Algorithms, 6(1), 2...
