7 Support Vector Machine The SVM uses kernel functions to transform the data to a higher, possibly infinite, dimensional space. A linear solution, in the higher dimensional feature space, corresponds to a non-linear solution in the original lower dimensional input space. The mapped objects are linearly separable An optimal line is constructed rather than a complex curve to separate objects November 22,

14 Downscaled Rainfall from CGCM3 for different Scenarios * * International Journal of Climatology, Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS), UK, 2008 November 22,

15 Downscaled Maximum Temperature * Results show that T max is projected to increase in future for A1B, A2, and B1 scenarios. Projected increase in T max is high for A2 scenario, whereas it is least for B1 scenario. This is because among the scenarios considered, the scenario A2 has the highest concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) equal to 850 ppm, while the same for A1B, B2 and COMMIT scenarios are 720 ppm, 550 ppm and 370 ppm respectively. * International Journal of Climatology, Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS), UK, 2009 November 22,

20 Integration of RS, GIS, DEM and Hydrological Models Hydrological model is a good tool for understanding and managing phenomena related to hydrological processes RS provides essential inputs for hydrologic models GIS provides a platform for simulation of hydrological model DEM provides inputs essential for topography RS, GIS & DEM combined with mathematical models provide a convenient platform for handling, compiling and presenting large amounts of spatial data essential to river basin management November 22,

21 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) SWAT is a river basin, or watershed scale model (Neitsch et al., 2002) Physically based & Continuous time model To predict the impact of land management practices on water, sediment and agricultural chemical yields in large complex watersheds with varying soils, land use and management conditions over long periods of time. Due to its easy adaptability to situations with limited data availability, it has become very popular even to study the climate change impact on a river basin scale November 22,
