The interactions among 21 multivariate daily time series (ground and surface water elevations, rainfall and evapotranspiration) available from this area were studied by means of dynamic factor analysis, a novel technique in the field of hydrology.
Time series ground motion data recorded at Zeytinburnu station in 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake that struck northwestern Turkey is used as input for site response analysis.
We use Differential-Inteferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (D-InSAR) and SAR backscattering intensity data from ALOS/PALSAR to define a time-series of ground surface displacements for the 2006 2010 inter-eruptive period at Merapi volcano.
Then, the proposed harmony search based solution algorithm is applied on the pre-selected 352 time-series to obtain the ground motion record sets compatible with design spectra.
These were preprocessed such as layer stacking, sub-sampling the study area by AOI file, re-sampling of all time-series images into similar ground resolution (30 m × 30 m), gap filling for Landsat 7 SCL-off (2004 and 2014 images), and spectrally enhancing the images before actual image classification process.
More recently he has been a member of an interdisciplinary team in the Center for Earth Observation at Yale and has carried out a number of land-use change studies using time-series satellite image analysis and ground truth observations in the Kabur region of northeast Syria.
Therefore, the approach we have developed naturally supplies realistic time series of ground motion useful to preserve urban settings, historical monuments, and relevant man-made structures.
Then we applied the integrated soil water atmosphere plant model SWAP to generate 'measured' time series of ground and surface-water levels for these plots.
The time series of ground displacements in Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) show a southeastward change between May and September 2009, especially in the NS component.
The time series of ground displacements was calculated from the recorded acceleration data and will be used as a reference input to the GPS signal simulator.
Ansal et al. (2009), to improve loss scenarios from earthquake, especially in terms of damage to buildings and casualties in Istanbul, calculated synthetic time series of ground motion using a methodology based on a hybrid stochastic deterministic approach.
