Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In flood forecasting and design for peak flows, understanding and characterizing the hydrologic response to rainfall events is vitally important. One of the key parameters utilized to characterize the catchment response time is the Time-to-Peak (Tp), which represents the rise time of a storm hydrograph. Previously, prediction methods for Tp have been static in nature, providing a single value for any storm within a catchment. Using ~1400 storm event observations and the corresponding catchment characteristics of 153 stream gauges across the United Kingdom (UK), the importance of different factors on estimating Tp are evaluated through literature, data and machine learning analyses. A prediction model is presented which introduces dynamic prediction by applying seasonal and average catchment wetness, as well as a storm specific variable to encompass the magnitude of the individual event. This model is then reconfigured for broad application and tested against ~200 events in North American study areas.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
