In this study, a coastal sea level estimation model was developed at an hourly temporal scale using the long short-termmemory (LSTM) network, which is a type of recurrent neural networks. The model incorporates the effects of various phenomena on the coastal sea level such as the gravitational attractions of the sun and the moon, seasonality, storm surges, and changing climate. The relative positions of the moon and the sun from the target location at each hour were utilized to reflect the gravitational attractions of the sun and the moon in the model simulation. The wind speed and direction, mean sea level pressure (MSLP), and air temperature near the target point at each hour were used to consider the effects of storm surges and seasonality of the coastal sea level. In addition to the hourly local variables, the annual global mean air temperature was considered as input to the model to reflect the effect of global warming on the coastal sea level. The model was implemented using several input lengths of the annual global mean air temperature to estimate the coastal sea level at the Osaka gauging station in Japan. Several statistics such as the mean, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, and the root mean square error were used to evaluate model performance. The results show that the proposed model accurately reconstructed the effects of the gravitational attractions of the sun and the moon on the coastal sea levels. The model also considered the effects of fluctuations in the wind speed and MSLP although the coastal sea levels during were underestimated strong winds and low MSLP conditions. Lastly, introducing a longer duration annual global mean air temperature improved model accuracy. Consequently, the best results show 0.720 of the NSE value for the test process.

In this study, XBeach, a two dimensional depth averaged numerical model developed mainly for simulating nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics is applied to two case studies; i) laboratory experiments on short-term morphological changes around a detached breakwater and a T-groin and ii) a fluvial dominated coastal flooding event at the Manavgat river mouth between dates, 4th and 15th December, 1998. In the first part of study, the numerical model is calibrated for the wave, current and bottom evolution conditi...
SEISMIC FIRST ARRIVAL TRAVELTIME INVERSION HARNESSING PHYSICS INFORMED NEURAL NETWORKS
Yıldırım, İsa Eren; Uğur, Ömür; Waheed, Umair bin; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11)
In Seismic prospecting, huge amounts of data are collected and processed to infer the structural and lithological composition of the subsurface. The key step in this procedure is velocity model building. First arrival traveltime inversion is one of the velocity model building tools commonly used for predicting near-surface velocity structures in seismic exploration. Conventionally, the inversion is carried out using ray-based methods or gradient-based algorithms. Though the gradient-based algorithms find th...
Vertical spatial correlation length based on standard penetration tests
Oguz, Emir Ahmet; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Griffiths, D. V. (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-02)
The spatial correlation length (SCL), or the scale of fluctuation, is a parameter for describing the spatial variability of soil and one of the important parameters used in random field theory. Studies reporting the spatial correlation length based on real field data of offshore/nearshore sea bottom soils are rather limited in the literature, so in this study, the vertical spatial correlation length is determined using site investigation data from two sites of the southern coast of Turkey. Based on quite ex...
Artificial-neural-network prediction of hexagonal lattice parameters for non-stoichiometric apatites
Kockan, Umit; Ozturk, Fahrettin; Evis, Zafer (2014-01-01)
In this study, hexagonal lattice parameters (a and c) and unit-cell volumes of non-stoichiometric apatites of M-10(TO4)(6)X-2 are predicted from their ionic radii with artificial neural networks. A multilayer-perceptron network is used for training. The results indicate that the Bayesian regularization method with four neurons in the hidden layer with a tansig activation function and one neuron in the output layer with a purelin function gives the best results. It is found that the errors for the predicted ...
Parameter sensitivity analysis of a nonlinear least-squares optimization-based anelastic full waveform inversion method

In a recent article, we described a seismic inversion method for determining the crustal velocity and attenuation of basins in earthquake-prone regions. We formulated the problem as a constrained nonlinear least-squares optimization problem in which the constraints are the equations that describe the forward wave propagation. Here, we conduct a parametric study to investigate the influence of parameters such as the form of the regularization function, receiver density, preconditioning, noise level of the da...
