the geographical distribution of growing degree-days (gdds) within iran was studied using gis-based maps. gdds were calculated using daily thermal parameters (daily maximum and minimum air temperature). based on the purpose of the study and climatic conditions of iran, the average value of 5?c was chosen for gdd calculation. the calculations were carried out using daily weather data of 113 mete...

abstract a significant deficiency of most computer models used for stream floodplain analysis is that the locations of structures impacted by floodwaters, such as bridges, roads, and buildings, cannot be effectively compared to the floodplain location. this research presents a straightforward approach for processing output of the hec-ras hydraulic model, to enable two- and three dimensional flo...

Digital Terrain Model (Digital Terrain Model acronym DTM) is arbitrary use of a large number of coordinates in three-dimensional x, y, z coordinates of the point on the ground for a form of Statistics said that the terrain surface morphology is the number of attribute information is a space location characteristics and attributes of the terrain described the figures, initially for the automatic...

This paper describes pertinent digital terrain model data structures, namely, grid/raster, quadtree, and triangular irregular network. A basic concept of DIM data structure is also explained. The aspects of TIN storage, TIN data structure conversion, advantages and disadvantages of each structure are discussed. A complete data structure conversion program is also presented. n. 1.0 INTRODUCTION ...

This paper introduces a new approach for determining the most likely initiation points for landslides from potential instability mapped using a terrain stability model. This approach identifies the location with critical stability index from a terrain stability model on each downslope path from ridge to valley. Any measure of terrain stability may be used with this approach, which here is illus...
