    Abstract: This book provides a step-by-step methodology and derivation of deep learning algorithms as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN), especially for estimating parameters, with back-propagation as well as examples with real datasets of hydrometeorology (e.g. streamflow and temperature) and environmental science (e.g. water quality). Deep learning is known as part of machine learning methodology based on the artificial neural network. Increasing data availability and computing power enhance applications of deep learning to hydrometeorological and environmental fields. However, books that specifically focus on applications to these fields are limited. Most of deep learning books demonstrate theoretical backgrounds and mathematics. However, examples with real data and step-by-step explanations to understand the algorithms in hydrometeorology and environmental science are very rare. This book focuses on the explanation of deep learning techniques and their applications to hydrometeorological and environmental studies with real hydrological and environmental data. This book covers the major deep learning algorithms as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) as well as the conventional artificial neural network model.

    Description: Stochastic simulation of multivariate hydrologic variables has a key role in evaluating alternative designs and operation rules of hydrologic facilities. The recently developed decomposition analysis, Independent Component Analysis (ICA), allows us to apply the simple univariate time series model to each extracted component by: (1) decomposing multivariate time series into independent components with ICA; (2) modeling and generating each component independently; and (3) mixing the generated components to come back to observational domain. However, we illustrate in the current study that fitting a univariate time series model to each extracted component might end up with the underestimation of the serial dependence that the observation data might contain. A alternative for parameter estimation is suggested to preserve the serial dependence of the observation variable using the relationship between the observation variable and the decomposed variable. The case study of the Upper Colorado River basin shows that some improvement is made through the suggested alternative. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Description: Abstract The objective of the current study is to build a stochastic model to simulate climate indices that are teleconnected with the hydrologic regimes of large‐scale water resources systems such as the Great Lakes system. Climate indices generally contain nonstationary oscillations (NSOs). We adopted a stochastic simulation model based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). The procedure for the model is to decompose the observed series and then to simulate the decomposed components with the NSO resampling (NSOR) technique. Because the model has only been previously applied to single variables, a multivariate version of NSOR (M‐NSOR) is developed to consider the links between the climate indices and to reproduce the NSO process. The proposed M‐NSOR model is tested in a simulation study on the Rössler system. The simulation results indicate that the M‐NSOR model reproduces the significant oscillatory behaviors of the system and the marginal statistical characteristics. Subsequently, the M‐NSOR model is applied to three climate indices (i.e., Arctic Oscillation, El Niño‐Southern Oscillation, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation) for the annual and winter data sets. The results of the proposed model are compared to those of the Contemporaneous Shifting Mean and Contemporaneous Autoregressive Moving Average model. The results indicate that the proposed M‐NSOR model is superior to the Contemporaneous Shifting Mean and Contemporaneous Autoregressive Moving Average model for reproducing the NSO process, while the other basic statistics are comparatively well preserved in both cases. The current study concludes that the proposed M‐NSOR model can be a good alternative to simulate NSO processes and their teleconnections with climate indices.

    Description: One of the important issues in climate change detection is the selection of climate models for the background noise. The background noise is generally chosen in a somewhat subjective manner. In the current study, we propose an approach of detecting climate change signal in order to mitigate the effects of background noise and to improve climate change detection ability. At first, the high-frequency components of three climate datasets (climate signal, observation, background noise) induced from the random noise process are extracted from empirical mode decomposition (EMD) analysis. Then, statistical detection techniques are applied to the datasets from which the high-frequency random components are excluded. The proposed approach is tested with synthetically generated data and with a real-world case study represented by global surface temperature anomaly (GSTA) data. The case study reveals that each component of the observed GSTA data from EMD contains the information related to external and internal forcings such as solar activity and oceanic circulation. Among these components, the statistically significant low-frequency components are employed in climate change detection. Compared to one of the existing approaches, some improvements in the slope coefficient estimates and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are observed in the synthetic application of the proposed model. The application to the GSTA data shows higher SNR in the proposed approach than in the existing approach. Copyright © 2011 Royal Meteorological Society

    Description: Recent environmental disasters have revealed the government’s limitations in real-time response and mobilization to help the public, especially when disasters occur in large areas at the same time. Therefore, enhancing the ability to prepare for public health emergencies at the grassroots level and extend public health emergency response mechanisms to communities, and even to individual families, is a research question that is of practical significance. This study aimed to investigate mechanisms to determine how media exposure affects individual public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) to environmental disasters; specifically, we examined the mediating role of knowledge and trust in government. The results were as follows: (1) knowledge had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between media exposure and PHEP; (2) trust in government had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between media exposure and PHEP; (3) knowledge and trust in government had significant multiple mediating effects on the relationship between media exposure and PHEP.

    Description: A nonparametric simulation model (-nearest neighbor resampling, KNNR) for water quality analysis involving geographic information is suggested to overcome the drawbacks of parametric models. Geographic information is, however, not appropriately handled in the KNNR nonparametric model. In the current study, we introduce a novel statistical notion, called a “depth function,” in the classical KNNR model to appropriately manipulate geographic information in simulating stormwater quality. An application is presented for a case study of the total suspended solids throughout the entire United States. The stormwater total suspended solids concentration data indicated that the proposed model significantly improves the simulation performance compared with the existing KNNR model.

    Description: The ordinary least square method (OLS) has been the most frequently used least square method in hydrological data analysis. Its computational algorithm is simple and the error analysis is also simple and clear. However the primary assumption of the OLS method, which states that the dependent variable is the only error-contaminated variable and all other variables are error-free, is often violated in hydrological data analyses. Recently a matrix algorithm using the singular value decomposition for the total least square (TLS) method has been developed and used in data analyses as errors-in-variables model where several variables could be contaminated with observational errors. In our study, the algorithm of the TLS is introduced in the evaluation of rating curves between the flow discharge and the water level. Then the TLS algorithm is applied to real data set for rating curves. The evaluated TLS rating curves are compared with the OLS rating curves and the result indicates that the TLS rating curve and the OLS rating curve are in good agreement. The TLS and OLS rating curves are discussed about their algorithms and error terms in the study. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

    Description: The precision of design storm estimation depends on the selection of an appropriate probability distribution model (PDM) and parameter estimation techniques. Generally, estimated parameters for PDMs are provided based on the method of moments, probability weighted moments, and maximum likelihood (ML). The results using ML are more reliable than the other methods. However, the ML is more laborious than the other methods because an iterative numerical solution must be used. In the meantime, metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve various engineering problems. A number of studies focus on using metaheuristic approaches for estimation of hydrometeorological variables. Applied metaheuristic approaches offer reliable solutions but use more computation time than derivative-based methods. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to enhance parameter estimation of PDMs for design storms using a recently developed metaheuristic approach known as a harmony search (HS). The HS is compared to the genetic algorithm (GA) and ML via simulation and case study. The results of this study suggested that the performance of the GA and HS was similar and showed more accurate results than that of the ML. Furthermore, the HS required less computation time than the GA.
