However, the study showed that there are variations in the vulnerability and the potential flood damage estimates of similar global building types from the three countries, despite being developed by the same approach. These are attributed to the country's specific conditions such as building ...
Observed asset damages are taken from reported flood damages from the NatCatSERVICE1database collected by Munich Re since 1980, excluding flash flood events or flooding caused by tropical cyclones. We adjusted all flood damage estimates for inflation to the reference year 2005 using country-specific ...
Estimates of death losses per flood event were calculated using regional mortality and hazard-specific records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), covering the period from 1981 to 2000. 2.2.2. Satellite data To investigate cloudiness and precipitation in the study area, we utilized several...
The analysis of variations in economic impact across different time periods of the year faces challenges. The distribution and the typology of events throughout the year (as shown in Table 10), makes very hard the possibility of analyzing the differences in economic impact across the different ...
Jupiter Intelligence - Provides global high resolution climate projections out to 2100 for a variety of hazards (flood, precipitation, wind, heat/cold, wildfire, thunderstorms, drought) as well as asset-level estimates of damage and financial loss. Urban Observation Numina - Utilizes edge computing ...
In some locations, this is exacerbated by the interaction of regional conditions (e.g. isostatic adjustment and variations in sea level, Boomer and Horton 2006) with local circumstances, including the legacy of past coastal management policy, development planning, and engineered interventions (which ...
in the biophysical environment such as solar radiation and aspect (Whiteman and May1985). These factors were used to explain variations in crop choice and productivity in mixed mountain agricultural systems. Some of the early scholarship included “culture” in the form of ethnic and tribal ...
Flood Damage AssessmentLiDARDTMGISYilanIt is fully realized that absolute immunity from flood damage is not physically possible even in the distant future because of unpredictability of several natural forces which might cause unprecedented situation. Even so, with proper planning and continuous effort ...
It is important to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of sea level, as temporal variations in large amplitudes can influence the intensity and frequency of coastal flooding, which can damage coastal infrastructure and the overall coastal environment (e.g., Menendez et al., 2009; Dan...
correction offers ways to enhance rainfall estimates in mountainous regions, but sometimes beam occlusion cannot be prevented in a region of complex terrain (Lang et al.2009; Anagnostou et al.2010). On the other hand, radar coverage is not available everywhere (Chappell et al.2013). What also...
