Furthermore, theories are introducedthat explain
Methods and apparatus in a mobile receiver for selecting among methods of estimating a received power of at least one signal. A method includes selecting a first method or a second method of measuring the received power based on a cell timing and a measurement interval. Information is received from a first base station about the measurement interval during which to perform the first method and the

Detecting and forecasting riverine floods is of paramount importance for adequate disaster risk management and humanitarian response. However, this is challenging in data-scarce and ungauged river basins in developing countries. Satellite remote sensing data offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to the limited in-situ data when training, parametrizing and operating flood models. Uti
