The Ground Penetrating Radar test applied to road engineering is overall used to determine the geometric characteristics of the pavement structure by analyzing the wave in the time domain. On many cases, it is often used ...
The development and population prosperity in the transition zone between the Sahara desert in the north and the tropical humid savannah in the south, known as Sahel, depends to a great extent on the rainfall regime. The ...
Urban tolls are nowadays one of the most promising instruments to regulate the entry of vehicles into cities, given the flexibility and versatility granted by the available technology. Although, initially, they represent ...
Rainfall nowcasting based on the extrapolation of most recent radar rainfall fields usually shows better skill than NWP models for short lead times, since it benefits from observations of the initial rainfall state. In ...
The automotive industry is constantly involved in the development of new methodologies and projects with the aim of reducing costs. During the vehicle design process, one of the most significant cost arises from building ...
The Doñana wetlands, in Southwest Spain, undergo yearly cycles of inundation in fall and drying out during the spring season. As any wetland ecosystem, Doñana depends critically on its water resources. Important monitoring ...
The offshore wind sector has grown significantly during the last decades driven by the increasing demand for clean energy and to reach defined energy targets based on renewable energies. As the wind speeds tend to be faster ...
This thesis deals with uncertainty in radar-based precipitation estimation and nowcasting in two ways: its quantification in a probabilistic manner, and its reduction in the precipitation estimates. A straightforward way ...
