Floods are one of the most fatal and devastating disasters, instigating an immense loss of human lives and damage to property, infrastructure, and agricultural lands. To cater to this, there is a need to develop and implement real-time flood management systems that could instantly detect flooded regions to initiate relief activities as early as possible. Current imaging systems, relying on satellites, have demonstrated low accuracy and delayed response, making them unreliable and impractical …

Abstract. Real-time probabilistic flood inundation mapping is crucial for flood risk warning and decision-making during the emergency period before an upcoming flood event. Considering the high uncertainties involved in the modeling of a nonlinear and complex flood event, providing a deterministic flood inundation map can be erroneous and misleading for reliable and timely decision-making. The conventional flood hazard maps provided for different return periods cannot also represent the actua…

However, foliar treatment with nano-silicon, particularly with 1.5 mM, limited the devastating impact of drought stress and markedly enhanced all the aforementioned parameters. Therefore, exogenously applied nano-silicon could be used to improve the CWP and seed and biological yields of faba bean p…

O values indicated different strategies of gas exchange between sites, which are likely a consequence of microsite conditions and water sources. Multiproxy, retrospective quantifications of xylem anatomical traits and tree-ring isotopes provide a robust tool to identify and forecast, which stands or trees will show dieback or, on the contrary, which will likely withstand and be more resilient to future hotter droughts.

Attributing Compound Events to Anthropogenic Climate Change
Authors: Jakob Zscheischler, Flavio Lehner
Journal: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society · DOI: 10.1175/bams-d-21-0116.1 · Citations: 86
Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Extreme event attribution answers the question of whether and by how much anthropogenic climate change has contributed to the occurrence or magnitude of an extreme weather event. It is also used to link extreme event impacts to climate change. Impacts, however, are often related to multiple compounding climate drivers. Because extreme event attribution typically focuses on univariate assessments, these assessments might only provide a partial answer to the question of anthropogenic i…

Although over 70 countries adopted a national climate change adaptation plan (NAP), little is known about the extent to which these plans are implemented. NAP monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems can play an important role in tracking implementation but have rarely been studied. Based on a systematic review including outreach to country representatives and international organizations, a comprehensive inventory of NAP M&E systems is compiled documenting government practices from over 60 cou…

Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, international financial assistance is expected to support African and other developing countries as they prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change. The impact of this finance depends on how much finance is mobilized and where it is targeted. However, there has been no comprehensive quantitative mapping of adaptation-related finance flows to African countries to date. Here we track development finance principally tar…

Soil moisture is connected to atmospheric moisture through direct evaporation and vegetation transpiration. This is a complex process that is in focus of numerous hydrological studies. We used the long-term measurements from a typical farming-pastoral ecotone in northern Hebei Province of China to study the relationship between the daytime and nighttime fluctuations of grassland surface soil moisture and evapotranspiration. The results show that the surface soil of grassland above 60 cm is th…

Abstract. Long-term and continuous observations of mesospheric–lower thermospheric winds are rare, but they are important to investigate climatological changes at these altitudes on timescales of several years, covering a solar cycle and longer. Such long time series are a natural heritage of the mesosphere–lower thermosphere climate, and they are valuable to compare climate models or long-term runs of general circulation models (GCMs). Here we present a climatological comparison of wind obse…

Natural vegetation, on the other hand, is exhibiting patterns of both greening and browning in all continents. Factors linked to anthropogenic carbon emissions, such as CO2 fertilization, climate change, and consequent disturbances such as fires and droughts, are hypothesized to be key drivers of changes in natural vegetation.

Abstract Satellite‐based estimates of ice shelf melt rates reach 200 m close to the grounding line of Pine Island Glacier, in West Antarctica. However, ocean simulations have not yet been able to reproduce such high melt rates, even with high‐resolution models. Here, we use a regional model of Pine Island ice shelf cavity and study the impact of subglacial freshwater discharge on simulated ice shelf melt rates and ocean circulation in the cavity. We show that subglacial freshwater discharge s…
Understanding the Stabilization of a Bulk Nanobubble: A Molecular Dynamics Analysis
Authors: Zhan Gao, Wangxia Wu, Weitao Sun, Bing Wang
Journal: Langmuir · DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.1c01796 · Citations: 90
Matched topics: water management, surface water
Bulk nanobubbles (NBs) have received considerable attention because of their extensive potential applications, such as in ultrasound imaging and water management. Although multiple types of experimental evidence have supported the existence and stabilization of bulk NBs, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study numerically investigates the bulk NB stabilization with molecular dynamics (MD) methods: the all-atom (AA) MD simulation is used for NBs of several nanometers diameter; the…

Nitrogen nutrition and fertilization of onions (Allium cepa L.)–A literature review
Authors: Daniel Geisseler, Roberto Soto Ortiz, Jairo Diaz
Journal: Scientia Horticulturae · DOI: 10.1016/j.scienta.2021.110591 · Citations: 72
Matched topics: water management
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient, which often limits yield in crop production. Due to their sparse and shallow root system, the N fertilizer use efficiency in onion (Allium cepa L.) production is often low and the risk of nitrate leaching losses high. This review provides an overview of the scientific literature on efficient N management practices in onion and the effects of N availability on onion growth and bulb quality. Nitrogen demand of onions strongly depends on yield. On average 6…
Machine Learning Classification and Accuracy Assessment from High-Resolution Images of Coastal Wetlands
Authors: Ricardo Martínez Prentice, Miguel Villoslada, Raymond D. Ward, Thaisa Bergamo, Christopher Joyce, Kalev Sepp
Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs13183669 · Citations: 61
Matched topics: hydrology
High-resolution images obtained by multispectral cameras mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are helping to capture the heterogeneity of the environment in images that can be discretized in categories during a classification process. Currently, there is an increasing use of supervised machine learning (ML) classifiers to retrieve accurate results using scarce datasets with samples with non-linear relationships. We compared the accuracies of two ML classifiers using a pixel and object a…
Impacts of water resources management on land water storage in the North China Plain: Insights from multi-mission earth observations
Authors: Jun Liu, Liguang Jiang, Xingxing Zhang, Daniel Druce, Cécile Marie Margaretha Kittel, Christian Tøttrup et al.
Journal: Journal of Hydrology · DOI: 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2021.126933 · Citations: 59
Matched topics: water management, surface water
Natural conditions of surface water bodies and groundwater aquifers in the North China Plain (NCP) have been altered to meet the ever-growing human water demands. Several water resources management measures have been implemented in recent decades to alleviate groundwater depletion, maintain ecological resilience, and sustain agricultural production. This study aims to investigate their impacts on land water storage, and thus obtain a picture of the spatio-temporal variation of water resources…
