Flood risk assessment in an urban area: Vila Nova de Gaia
Mourato, S.; Fernandez, P.; Moreira, M.This paper proposes a methodology for flood risk assessment in a non fluvial urban flood. Two hazard classifications were considered; one with water depth and flow velocity classes and other with the product of water depth and flow velocity. The vulnerability assessment resulted in five classes obtained by cluster and principal components analysis. Flood risk maps were achieved by hazard and vulnerability class...
Avaliação do risco de inundação numa zona urbana. Aplicação ao Rio Febros
Fernandez, P.; Mourato, S.; Gonçalves, G.; Pereira, L.; Moreira, M.O risco de inundação resulta do produto da probabilidade do perigo, da vulnerabilidade e do valor dos elementos expostos. O objectivo deste estudo é elaborar a carta de risco de inundação para um troço (4 km) do rio Febros no Concelho de Vila Nova de Gaia. O processamento de dados espaciais de alta resolução permite extrair dados de entrada para a modelação hidráulica de inundação. Para atingir estes objectivos...
Interannual variability of precipitation distribution patterns in Southern Port...
