Abstract Urban roughness is of major importance for understanding the wind dynamics and microclimate in an urban area. Morphometric methods are ideally suited for estimation of urban roughness in an urban environment due to increasing availability of 3D urban database,
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DATA ASSIMILATION IN WEATHER FORECASTING MODEL USING OPEN SOURCE TOOLS
Abstract In this paper, we perform data assimilation using radiance data from different sensors mhs, amsu-a for the improved weather prediction in for the study area covering Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh at different resolutions of 27km, 9km and 3km. Two
OPEN SOURCE GEOSPATIAL TOOLS FOR HYDROLOGICAL MODELING
Abstract Water is a scarce resource of nature due to the increasing demand of fresh water over few decades. It’s a key element of natural resource management therefore researchers are finding the ways to manage this resource. This management includes
FOSS4G: Prediction of forest cover transitions in Uttara Kannada Central Western Ghats
Abstract Landscape is a mosaic of forest and non-forest elements depending on the climate, geology, land use transitions, etc. Forests constitute the vital source of natural resources, aiding in socioeconomic development with water and food security and environmental protection. Alterations
Wind simulation in urban area using open source software
Abstract Anthropogenic developments such as construction of buildings, highways, parking lots, driveways and streets are the major cause of population and urbanization. This emergence has led to drastic change in the urban roughness that in turn affects the urban climate
