van der Laan, F.B. (author), Schoumans, O.F. (author), Thunnisen, H.A.M. (author)The possibility to obtain up-to-date information on agricultural landuse from Landsat TM imagery by means of classification was investigated in a pilot study on a 50.000 ha area. The pilot study was a preparation for a national exercise. The accuracy of the results for the most important classes varied between 80 % and over 95 %. The result was...report 1987

Laban, G.I. (author)Interest in clutter is almost universal in radar research, because most of the radar echo signals received by radar do not originate only from the desired target, but also from surrounding objects or surfaces which tend to mask the target signal. In radar rainfall observations, the interference of ground clutter cannot always be avoided, which...master thesis 1991

Groot, C.J.W.P. (author), Gunneweg, J.T.M. (author)Moisture is a major source of damage in historic solid masonry. Therefore, control of moisture movement in masonry is instrumental to the durability of masonry buildings. From research and practical experience it is known that many factors may play a role regarding permeability problems in masonry. This paper is focused on materials aspects...journal article 2010

Oosterhuis, M.R. (author)This paper introduces a parametric structural design tool to calculate and visualize the results for thin plates loaded out-off plane. This is done by using the membrane analogy for the split part of the classic 4th order partial differential equation for thin plates expressed in the reduced sum of the bending moments (M) and the “rain flow...master thesis 2010

Van Rijswijk, M. (author)As a result of the climate change, showers of rain become more and more extreme. This results in water problems in dense build areas where large amounts of rain water are immediately discharged into the sewer system. Rotterdam is one of these dense cities that struggles with this problem. The water system of Rotterdam can’t handle the amount of...master thesis 2011

Stewart, R.D. (author), Hut, R.W. (author), Rupp, D.E. (author), Gupta, H. (author), Selker, J.S. (author)We propose a novel, accurate quantification of precipitation and evaporation, as needed to understand fundamental hydrologic processes. Our system uses a collection vessel placed on top of a slender rod that is securely fixed at its base. As the vessel is deflected, either by manual perturbation or ambient forcing (for example, wind), its...journal article 2012

Liang, D. (author)The thesis presents a parametric design tool for plate structural analysis. The goal of the thesis is to establish a real-time visualized program for structural calculation and to make it parameterized. The tool is based on a visualized drawing program Rhino with Grasshopper plug-in to generate the parametric environment for the plate structural...master thesis 2012

Otto, T. (author), Russchenberg, H.W.J. (author)In 2007, the horizontally scanning polarimetric X-band radar IDRA (IRCTR Drizzle Radar) was installed on top of the 213 m high mast at the Dutch meteorological observatory Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research (CESAR) at Netherlands. This radar complements a large variety of measurement instruments at CESAR by providing information...journal article 2013

Gromotka, Z.J.G. (author)This report will study an oscillator with time-varying mass under the influence of rain-wind induced vibrations. The vibrations will satisfy an initial value problem with a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The multiple time-scale perturbation method is used to solve the initial value problem. As the mass is set periodic in time with...bachelor thesis 2014

Agnindhira, G.P. (author), Duijndam, L. (author), Groen, C. (author), Kok, D. (author)Climate variability in temperature and precipitation has the potential to exacerbate the water scarcity problems already present in many parts of Sub-Saharan Sudan. A socio-hydrological study was carried out to determine the extent to which sorghum, the dominant rain-fed crop in Sudan, is susceptible to this climate variability and how this...student report 2016

Kole, Sjors (author)In this report, the rain-wind induced vibrations of cables are studied. This is done by modeling the cable cross-section as a mass-spring system with two time-varying masses. Thereafter, the solution of this model is approximated using a multiple timescale perturbation method. Lastly, for some choices<br/>of the time-varying masses the...bachelor thesis 2016

Viergever, Lisanne (author)With climate change changing the world, literally, delta landscapes become more vulnerable. At the same time, delta landscapes become more densely populated every year, creating an uncertain environment for high density urban areas. In the Netherlands, cities are facing treats from the sea level rising, heat stress and <br/>increasing amounts of...master thesis 2017

van Driel, Ronald (author), van der Hout, Justin (author), van der Wel, Marissa (author), Houtman, Marco (author)As of this moment there is a lack of data about rainfall in cities. To collect such data, IBM has started the Sense Umbrella Connection and Desensitisation project. For this project an umbrella was equipped with a piezoelectric sensor and a Bluetooth device to record the rain that falls on the surface of this umbrella. One downside of this...bachelor thesis 2017

Keizer, Kasper (author)The role of water storages at greenhouses will change in the future due to three trends in climate change, upscaling of greenhouses and changes in regulations. These three trends force the local water authority and the greenhouse sector to anticipate on future problems. First step in this process is to understand the hydrological response of...master thesis 2017

Lochbihler, K.U. (author), Lenderink, G. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author)Observations show that subdaily precipitation extremes increase with dew point temperature at a rate exceeding the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relation. The understanding of this so-called super CC scaling is still incomplete, and observations of convective cell properties could provide important information. Here the size and intensity of rain...journal article 2017

Nuijens, Louise (author), Emanuel, Kerry (author), Masunaga, Hirohiko (author), L’Ecuyer, Tristan (author)Space-borne observations reveal that 20–40% of marine convective clouds below the freezing level produce rain. In this paper we speculate what the prevalence of warm rain might imply for convection and large-scale circulations over tropical oceans. We present results using a two-column radiative–convective model of hydrostatic, nonlinear flow...journal article 2017

Wang, Licheng (author)The interventions around old industrial areas are based on a landscape design, which can also be regarded as an introduce of the nature. The green land protects the heritages and absorb rain water. On the green land are renovated factories, which in a different environment, are given new identities. Connecting those old buildings are wooden...master thesis 2017

Akkaya, T. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, a model will be derived to describe the rain–wind-induced oscillations of an inclined cable. Water rivulets running along the cable and aerodynamics forces acting on the cable are taken into account to describe these oscillations. A boundary damper is assumed to be present near the lower endpoint of the cable. For a linearly...journal article 2018
