ANFIS, SVM and ANN soft-computing techniques to estimate daily global solar radiation in a warm sub-humid environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy and performance of three soft computing techniques (i.e., adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM)) were assessed for predicting daily horizontal global solar radiation from measured meteorological variables in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the effects of shade on water temperature in small streams
J. Christopher Rutherford,Shane Blackett,Colin Blackett,Laurel Saito,Robert J. Davies-Colley +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a computer model for stream water temperature was developed, and tested in a small pasture stream near Hamilton, New Zealand, using three coefficients: canopy angle, topography angle, and canopy shade factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical models for estimating daily global solar radiation in Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy and applicability of thirteen empirical global solar radiation models for warm subhumid regions that use daily meteorological data at six stations in Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing ecosystem effects of reservoir operations using food web-energy transfer and water quality models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects on the reservoir food web of a new temperature control device (TCD) on the dam at Shasta Lake, California, followed a linked modeling approach that used a specialized reservoir water quality model to forecast operation-induced changes in phytoplankton production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating daily global solar radiation by day of the year in six cities located in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical DYB model was developed for estimating daily global solar radiation on a horizontal surface for six automatic weather stations of Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
