“…5 shows results of CA in the form of a dendrogram. A dendrogram is a tree diagram that graphically represents the arrangement of elements (in this case glaciers) into clusters based on their degree of similarity (Raux et al, 2011). The analysis classifies our 234 glaciers into six major groups, and these have a distinct spatial pattern (Fig.…”

“…Only uniform geomorphological features are available for large basins 12,19 . Due to the heavy computation of basin delineation and boundary tracing at global scale, some critical features missing from existing datasets are based on boundary information such as basin length and perimeter.…”

Basin morphometry is vital information for relating storms to hydrologic hazards, such as landslides and floods. In this paper we present the first comprehensive global dataset of distributed basin morphometry at 30 arc seconds resolution. The dataset includes nine prime morphometric variables; in addition we present formulas for generating twenty-one additional morphometric variables based on combination of the prime variables. The dataset can aid different applications including studies of land-atmosphere interaction, and modelling of floods and droughts for sustainable water management. The validity of the dataset has been consolidated by successfully repeating the Hack’s law.

“…However, the use of this type of statistical analysis is less common for evaluating the hydrological and sediment response of watershed and the main factors governing the underlying processes (e.g. Seeger et al 2004;Zabaleta et al 2007;Nadal-Romero et al 2008b;Raux et al 2011;Singh et al 2009). For example, Zabaleta et al (2007) analysed the behaviour of small catchments in the Basque Country, Spain, by using principal component analysis (PCA).…”

The catchments of the Klang and Ampang Rivers are two sub-catchments that drain into the main Klang River, Selangor, Malaysia. Due to the development and siltation processes, the current capacity of the Klang River in the city centre is insufficient for accommodating the excess flood flow during major events, and, therefore overflows the riverbanks causing flash floods to occur in the Kuala Lumpur city centre. This study investigates the relationship between the rainfall, discharge and suspended sediment transport and its variations during the dry and wet periods in tropical sub-catchments; identifies the different hysteresis types of single flood events in the suspended sediment concentration/discharge relationships in the dry and wet periods, and determines the relationship between the types of single event hysteresis loops and the hydrological and sediment responses. Principal component analysis was performed to examine factors that have a major influence on the suspended sediment yields during both the dry and wet periods. The clockwise and counter-clockwise hysteresis loops occurring mostly during the dry period, can be described as events with moderate total rainfall, rainfall intensity (less than 10 mmh −1 ), average discharge and suspended sediment load. Counter-clockwise events occurring during the wet period are associated with low total rainfall, rainfall intensity, average discharge and suspended sediment load. The clockwise and counter-clockwise events that occurred in the wet period are related to events with a Water Resour Manage (2015) 29:4519-4538 relatively high and low moisture condition, respectively. The figure-eight and complex hysteresis loop events occur predominantly during the wet period. The complex loop events occurred mostly during the wet period generates the highest suspended sediment load. The complex loop events occur mostly during the wet period generated the highest suspended sediment load.
