    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for real-time swiftwater risk category distributed mapping. A mobile computing device generates a request for swiftwater risk information, the request including a location. A server computing device receives the request for swiftwater risk information from the mobile computing device. The server computing device models hydrologic conditions for a plurality of segments of one or more bodies of water at or near the location. The server computing device classifies each segment of the bodies of water according to a level of potential risk of hazards associated with the hydrologic conditions. The server computing device generates a visual representation of the bodies of water that includes a classification indicator for one or more of the plurality of segments for display on the mobile computing device, and transmits the visual representation to the mobile computing device.

    Abstract: A structural arrangement for a tipping bucket rain gauge and related micro controlled electronic system, the features of which include remote monitoring and identification of possible operating faults or defects in the rain gauge such as jamming of the tipping bucket or clogging of the funnel by reading data from the sensor and the pulse generator and also possible measurement errors caused by defects in the sensor or in the pulse generator or caused by inclination or vibration of the rain gauge. Such monitoring is provided by a capacitive sensor arranged such as to detect the accumulation of water in the funnel and also water flow, and by a pulse generator arranged to measure the number of movements of the tipping bucket and includes a control module that communicates with the capacitive sensor and with the pulse generator of the tipping bucket and with an accelerometer provided in the control module itself.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for monitoring precipitation. An example rain gauge device for use in such monitoring generally includes a first basin including at least one outlet for forming and releasing droplets of moisture, and at least two electrical contacts disposed proximate to the at least one outlet. A closed circuit is formed between the at least two electrical contacts when a droplet of moisture, released by the at least one outlet, contacts the at least two electrical contacts. The rain gauge device then also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the at least two electrical contacts. The processor is configured to determine presence of a moisture event based on the closed circuit formed by the droplet and the at least two electrical contacts and, in response to the determination, transmit an indication of the moisture event to a computing device.

    Abstract: A data-driven street flood warning system that employs distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS)/distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and machine learning (ML) technologies and techniques to provide a prediction of street flood status along a telecommunications fiber optic cable route using the DFOS/DAS data and ML models. Operationally, a DFOS/DAS interrogator collects and transmits vibrational data resulting from rain events while an online web server provides a user interface for end-users. Two machine learning models are built respectively for rain intensity prediction and flood level prediction. The machine learning models serve as predictive models for rain intensity and flood levels based on data provided to them, which includes rain intensity, rain duration, and historical data on flood levels.

    Abstract: A high-resolution SPEI dataset development method based on a random forest regression model is provided. In the method, meteorological station data, GPM remote sensing precipitation data, MODIS land surface temperature data, ERA5-Land shortwave radiation data and SRTM digital elevation model data are combined; and a spatial pattern of SPEI index at different time scales of a target area is predicted by constructing a spatiotemporal relationship between the SPEI index and the precipitation, land surface temperature, shortwave radiation and elevation data. The method fully utilizes advantages that the random forest is high in precision and avoids overfitting in model prediction, and inputs station data and remote sensing and reanalysis data simultaneously into the model for training, which can solve problems of mismatch of an existing SPEI dataset with the station data and low spatial resolution, and the spatial resolution of SPEI dataset is effectively improved.
