Advanced radiative transfer models for the simulation of in situ and satellite ocean color data (ARTEMIS-OC) : the finite element method (FEM) numerical code

Bulgarelli, Barbara (contributor) - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2024

The present Report, first of a series, builds on JRC long-standing experience in developing and applying highly accurate radiative transfer models (RTMs) to simulate in situ and satellite data of the aquatic environment. In-house modelling capabilities of the signal at in situ and satellite OC...

The alpha-tree algorithm : theory, algorithms, and applications

Soille, Pierre (contributor); … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2012

A new multi-scale graph-space connectivity framework is presented. It is based upon a measure of dissimilarity between adjacent elements of the graph that is used to construct a hierarchy of partitions. Connected components or partition cells are either preserved or rejected based on a set of...

A solution mapping algorithm in EUROPLEXUS

Larcher, M. (contributor); Valsamos, G. (contributor); … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2018

This report presents the implementation in the EUROPLEXUS code of the possibility of storing a solution for later re-mapping it as initial conditions for a subsequent simulation. EUROPLEXUS (also abbreviated as EPX) is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie...

Security of gas supply with the ProGasNet simulator : an uncertainty & sensitivity analysis exercise

Mara, T. A. (contributor); Kopustinskas, V. (contributor); … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2017

Security of gas supply is a crucial stake for the European countries. The ProGasNet simulator has been developed by the European Commission to study the vulnerability of the gas network to different threats. With the simulator the European gas network (or a portion of the network) can be...

Forest fire danger extremes in Europe under climate change : variability and uncertainty

De Rigo, Daniele (contributor); … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2017

Forests cover over a third of the total land area of Europe. In recent years, large forest fires have repeatedly affected Europe, in particular the Mediterranean countries. Fire danger is influenced by weather in the short term, and by climate when considering longer time intervals. In this...

Guidelines for deriving seismic fragility functions of elements at risk : buildings, lifelines, transportation networks and critical facilities

Kaynia, Amir M. (contributor); Taucer, Fabio (contributor); … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2013

The objective of SYNER-G in regards to the fragility functions is to propose the most appropriate functions for the construction typologies in Europe. To this end, fragility curves from literature were collected, reviewed and, where possible, validated against observed damage and harmonised. In...
