River Ice Processes and Ice Flood Forecasting

Beschreibung

This book exposes practitioners and students to the theory and application of river and lake ice processes to gain a better understanding of these processes for modelling and forecasting. It focuses on the following processes of the surface water ice: freeze-up, ice cover thickening, ice cover breakup and ice jamming. The reader will receive a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of each component and how they are applied in monitoring and modelling ice covers during the winter season and forecasting ice floods. Exercises accompany each component to reinforce the theoretical principles learned. These exercises will also expose the reader to different tools to process data, such a space-borne remote sensing imagery for ice cover classification. A thread supporting numerical modelling of river ice and lake ice processes runs through the book.

Provides students and practitioners with an understanding of theory and application of river ice processes

Includes exercises designed for students to become familiar with available tools such as those used to process remote sensing data

Prepares the reader with fundamental knowledge to be applied in monitoring, modelling and forecasting ice covers and floods
