Different locations in Egypt are vulnerable to the hazards of flash floods, especially in Upper Egypt. Throughout history, Egypt witnessed a series of events of flash floods that lead to mortality, damages, and economic losses. The intensity and frequency of flash floods in Egypt vary from year to year according to a number of hydrological and climatological variables. Although several previous flash floods studies have been conducted in Egypt, studies on the governorate of Asyut are still limited. This study integrates the physical and social parameters in order to assess the vulnerability to flash floods. The objectives of this study are to shed light on flash floods in the study area, develop a vulnerability model to determine the regions vulnerable to the impacts of flash floods, and propose a flash flood alert system in the governorate of Asyut in Egypt to mitigate the impacts of flash floods and to avoid the loss of life and property. The AHP (analytical hierarchy process) is used for assigning the optimal criterion weight of the considered vulnerability parameters based on the responses of eight expert respondents to an online Google forms questionnaire. The highest weighted flash floods causative parameters are population density (27.4%), precipitation (22.1%), total population (16.4%), and elevation (10.2%), respectively. The results reveal that Asyut is one of the Egyptian governorates pro ne to flash floods’ impacts, especially in Dayrut, Al-Qusiyah, and Abnub, urban districts. The findings of this study are expected to be useful to policymakers and responsible authorities for better disaster risk management and for dealing with the flash floods events in the future.

Stochastic super-resolution for downscaling time-evolving atmospheric fields with a generative adversarial network / Jussi Leinonen in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 59 n° 9 (September 2021)

The ability of conditional GANs to generate an ensemble of solutions for a given input lends itself naturally to stochastic downscaling, but the stochastic nature of GANs is not usually considered in super-resolution applications. Here, we introduce a recurrent, stochastic super-resolution GAN that can generate ensembles of time-evolving high-resolution atmospheric fields for an input consisting of a low-resolution sequence of images of the same field. We test the GAN using two data sets: one consisting of radar-measured precipitation from Switzerland; the other of cloud optical thickness derived from the Geostationary Earth Observing Satellite 16 (GOES-16). We find that the GAN can generate realistic, temporally consistent super-resolution sequences for both data sets. The statistical properties of the generated ensemble are analyzed using rank statistics, a method adapted from ensemble weather forecasting; these analyses indicate that the GAN produces close to the correct amount of variability in its outputs. As the GAN generator is fully convolutional, it can be applied after training to input images larger than the images used to train it. It is also able to generate time series much longer than the training sequences, as demonstrated by applying the generator to a three-month data set of the precipitation radar data. The source code to our GAN is available at https://github.com/jleinonen/downscaling-rnn-gan.

Unsupervised band selection of hyperspectral data based on mutual information derived from weighted cluster entropy for snow classification / Divyesh Varade in Geocarto international, Vol 36 n° 15 ([10/08/2021])

Although hyperspectral remote sensing provides significant opportunities in the assessment of land cover, the applications of such data are limited in the snow-covered alpine regions. A major issue with hyperspectral data is the larger dimensionality. Feature selection methods are often used to derive the most informative subset of bands from the hyperspectral data. In this study, a band selection technique is proposed which utilizes the mutual information (MI) between hyperspectral bands and a reference band. The first principal component of the hyperspectral data is selected as the reference band. Two variants of this approach are proposed involving preclustering of bands using: (1) the k-means and (2) the fuzzy k-means algorithms. The MI is derived from weighted entropy of the hyperspectral band and the reference band. The weights are computed from the cluster distance ratio and the cluster membership function for the k-means and fuzzy k-means algorithm, respectively. The selected bands were classified using random forest classifier. The proposed methods are evaluated with four datasets, two Hyperion datasets corresponding to the geographical locations of Dhundi and Solang in India, corresponding to snow covered terrain and two benchmark AVIRIS datasets of Indian Pines and Salinas. The average classification accuracy (0.995 and 0.721 for Dhundi and Solang datasets, respectively) for the proposed approach were observed to be better as compared with those from other state of the art techniques.

Deep learning-based image de-raining using discrete Fourier transformation / Prasen Kumar Sharma in The Visual Computer, vol 37 n° 8 (August 2021)  

Public [article]  inThe Visual Computer > vol 37 n° 8 (August 2021) . - pp 2083 - 2096 Titre : Deep learning-based image de-raining using discrete Fourier transformation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Prasen Kumar Sharma, Auteur ; Sathisha Basavaraju, Auteur ; Arijit Sur, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 2083 - 2096 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] bruit (théorie du signal) [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] décomposition d'image [Termes IGN] filtrage du bruit [Termes IGN] pluie [Termes IGN] transformation de Fourier Résumé : (auteur) Single image rain streak removal is a well-explored topic in the field of computer vision. The de-raining problem is modeled as an image decomposition task where a rainy image is decomposed into rain-free background image and rain streek map. Unlike most of the existing de-raining methods, this paper attempts to decompose the rainy image in the frequency domain. The idea is inspired by pseudo-periodic characteristics of the noise signal (here the rain streaks) which leave some traces in the frequency domain, and the same can be utilized to predict the noise signal. In this paper, a deep learning-based rain streak prediction model is proposed which learns in discrete Fourier transform Oppenheim and Schafer (Discrete-Time Signal Processing, Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, 1989) domain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach where compressed domain coefficients are directly used as input to a deep convolutional neural network. The proposed model has been tested on publicly available synthetic datasets Fu et al. (in: 2017 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2017. https://doi.org/10.1109/CVPR.2017.186, Yang et al.

(in: 2015 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan, 2015. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCE-TW.2015.7216999) and results are found to be comparable with the state of the art methods in the spatial domain. The presented analysis and study have an obvious indication to extend transform domain input to train the deep learning architecture especially image de-noising like problems.

EUREC4A comprised roughly five weeks of measurements in the downstream winter trades of the North Atlantic – eastward and south-eastward of Barbados. Through its ability to characterize processes operating across a wide range of scales, EUREC4A marked a turning point in our ability to observationally study factors influencing clouds in the trades, how they will respond to warming, and their link to other components of the earth system, such as upper-ocean processes or, or the life-cycle of particulate matter. This characterization was made possible by thousands (2500) of sondes distributed to measure circulations on meso (200 km) and larger (500 km) scales, roughly four hundred hours of flight time by four heavily instrumented research aircraft, four global-ocean class research vessels, an advanced ground-based cloud observatory, a flotilla of autonomous or tethered measurement devices operating in the upper ocean (nearly 10000 profiles), lower atmosphere (continuous profiling), and along the air-sea interface, a network of water stable isotopologue measurements, complemented by special programmes of satellite remote sensing and modeling with a new generation of weather/climate models. In addition to providing an outline of the novel measurements and their composition into a unified and coordinated campaign, the six distinct scientific facets that EUREC4A explored – from Brazil Ring Current Eddies to turbulence induced clustering of cloud droplets and its influence on warm-rain formation – are presented along with an overview EUREC4A's outreach activities, environmental impact, and guidelines for scientific practice.
