An alternative approach to experimental simulation of wind characteristics in urban environments
Abstract The classical Counihan vortex generators for wind-tunnel simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow were redesigned to experimentally simulate natural wind characteristics in urban environments. Three redesigned (truncated)...

Using agent-based modeling to depict basin closure in the Naivasha basin, Kenya: a framework of analysis
Abstract A spatially-explicit agent-based modeling (ABM) approach is applied for depicting the processes leading to basin closure in the Naivasha basin by representing interdependencies between water availability and water use. Modeling the dynamics ...

Geostatistics for spatial extremes. A case study of maximum annual rainfall in Portugal**
Abstract Spatial statistics deals with statistical methods in which spatial locations play an explicit role in the analysis of data. Spatial data are often modeled as a realization of a Gaussian process or a function of a Gaussian process. However...

Runge–Kutta IMEX schemes for the Horizontally Explicit/Vertically Implicit (HEVI) solution of wave equations
Abstract Many operational weather forecasting centres use semi-implicit time-stepping schemes because of their good efficiency. However, as computers become ever more parallel, horizontally explicit solutions of the equations of atmospheric motion...
