[1] Hurricane-induced directional wave spectra in the Gulf of Mexico are investigated based on measurements collected at 12 buoys during 7 hurricane events recent years. Focusing hurricane-generated spectra, we only consider within eight times radius maximum wind speed (Rmax) from center. A series numerical experiments using a third-generation spectral prediction model were carried out to gain insight into mechanism controlling and frequency distributions energy. It is found that almost...
ABSTRACT Effective streamflow monitoring networks are crucial for flood mitigation planning and water management operations. In Louisiana, USA, extreme rainfall, flat topography, coastal‐inland interactions necessitate enhancements to the sparse existing resources. This study introduces a stakeholder‐driven approach designing network by integrating local expertise with geospatial process‐based criteria. Our combines stakeholder input, gathered via web‐based applications, an automated scoring...
In comparison with wave modeling on an open coast, the complex geometry and bathymetry of estuaries, unsteady conditions associated estuarine circulation generated by tides winds, relatively inadequate field data present a unique challenge. This study utilizes unsteady, curvilinear spectral model that has flexibility to resolve large geometric bathymetric gradients allows for consideration forcing currents predict wind waves in Mobile Bay, Alabama. First, laboratory set transformation over...
Abstract Barataria Estuary is an economically and ecologically important estuary in coastal Louisiana, USA. Due to rapid wetland loss, extreme Mississippi River flood drought events (e.g., the of 2019 2022), devastating storm Hurricane Ida 2021), eustatic sea‐level rise (SLR), high subsidence rates, human activities, temporal spatial variability salinity temperature highly complex. This study comprehensively investigates environmental drivers that govern dynamics, as well effects a proposed...
Abstract Biocrust effects on soil infiltration have attracted increasing attention in dryland ecosystems, but their seasonal variations infiltrability not yet been well understood. On the Chinese Loess Plateau, indicated by saturated hydraulic conductivity ( K s ) of biocrusts and bare soil, both aeolian sand loess was determined disc infiltrometer late spring (SPR), midsummer (SUM), early fall (FAL). Then correlations with biological physiochemical properties water repellency index RI were...
