Impact of climate variability of the Western Tropical Pacific on maximum salinity water in the South China Sea
(
- Ocean Dynamics
, 2021-08-31)
Salinity observations in the Vietnamese upwelling area in June 2016 indicated a significant increase in the salinity of the maximum salinity water (MSW). The source of MSW inflow into the South China Sea (SCS) is a mixture ...
When does risk become residual? A systematic review of research on flood risk management in West Africa
(
- Regional Environmental Change
, 2021-08-25)
Flood events in West Africa have devastating impacts on the lives of people. Additionally, developments such as climate change, settlement expansion into flood-prone areas, and modification of rivers are expected to increase ...
Tidal response to sea level rise and bathymetric changes in the German Wadden Sea
(
- Ocean Dynamics
, 2020-06-07)
Tidally dominated coasts are directly affected not only by projected rise in mean sea level, but also by changes in tidal dynamics due to sea level rise and bathymetric changes. By use of a hydrodynamic model, which covers ...
Estimates of wind power and radiative near-inertial internal wave flux
(
- Ocean Dynamics
, 2020-09-09)
Energy transfer mechanisms between the atmosphere and the deep ocean have been studied for many years. Their importance to the ocean’s energy balance and possible implications on mixing are widely accepted. The slab model ...
Global tide simulations with ICON-O: testing the model performance on highly irregular meshes
(
- Ocean Dynamics
, 2020-12-08)
The global tide is simulated with the global ocean general circulation model ICON-O using a newly developed tidal module, which computes the full tidal potential. The simulated coastal M2 amplitudes, derived by a discrete ...
Interactions between barotropic tides and mesoscale processes in deep ocean and shelf regions
(
- Ocean Dynamics
, 2020-03-14)
The interactions between barotropic tides and mesoscale processes were studied using the results of a numerical model in which tidal forcing was turned on and off. The research area covered part of the East Atlantic Ocean, ...
A local scale flood vulnerability assessment in the flood-prone area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
(
- Natural Hazards
, 2020-10-24)
The central part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, is a highly flood-prone area of the province. The lives and assets of local communities are deeply vulnerable, attributed to the recurrence of seasonal floods. This concern ...
Pan-European hydrodynamic models and their ability to identify compound floods
(
- Natural Hazards
, 2020-03-21)
The interaction between storm surges and inland run-off has been gaining increasing attention recently, as they have the potential to result in compound floods. In Europe, several flood events of this type have been recorded ...
A probabilistic approach to estimating residential losses from different flood types
(
- Natural Hazards
, 2020-12-02)
Residential assets, comprising buildings and household contents, are a major source of direct flood losses. Existing damage models are mostly deterministic and limited to particular countries or flood types. Here, we compile ...
Toward Improved Parameterizations of Reservoir Operation in Ungauged Basins: A Synergistic Framework Coupling Satellite Remote Sensing, Hydrologic Modeling, and Conceptual Operation Schemes
(
- Water Resources Research
, 2023-03-07)
Assessments of water and energy security over historical and future periods require hydrologic models that can accurately simulate reservoir operations. However, scare reservoir operation data limits the accuracy of current ...
