The generation of accurate terrain maps while navigating over off-road, irregular terrains is a complex challenge, due to the difficulties in the estimation of the pose of the laser rangefinders, which is required for the ...

Precipitation is the most relevant variable in the hydrological cycle which drives continental hydrologic processes. Its spatial occurrence and behavior are complex and its daily estimation is hard in poorly gauged regions ...

Montane climates are shaped by high spatial variability that depends on net radiation and synoptic weather, and much on elevation and topographic features of terrain. We measured near-ground meteorological variables using ...

A numerical model is developed for the dispersion of pollutant substances released into the atmosphere at zones of small dimensions characterized by terrain with complex geometrical configuration. The model is based on the ...

Ground based rainfall information is hardly available in most high mountain areas ofthe world due to the remoteness and complex topography. Thus, proper understanding of spatio-temporal rainfall dynamics still remains a ...
