  1. 16. Developing a Rainfall-Runoff Routing Model using  Spatially Distributed Travel Times : Modelling a Cloudburst Event in an Urban Catchment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sara Ekeroth; [2022]
    Keywords : Excess rainfall; Runoff routing; Cloud burst; Pluvials; GIS; ArcPy; Effektiv nederbörd; Avrinningsmodell; Skyfall; Pluviala översvämningar; Geodata; ArcPy;

    Abstract : The future holds challenges for urban areas when it comes to handling pluvial floodings, occurring when the rainfall intensity exceeds both the man-made and natural infiltration and drainage capacity. To gain understanding of the effects and needed measures, tools for modelling the urban response to events such as cloudbursts are needed. READ MORE

    Abstract : With the rise of the usage of AI, the need for computing power has grown exponentially. This has made cloud computing a popular option with its cost- effective and highly scalable capabilities. However, due to its popularity there exists thousands of possible services to choose from, making it hard to find the right tool for the job. READ MORE

  5. 19. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.
