Method and provenance
- Production method
- Measures flood-front timing at six stations from ten-minute river-stage series, compares alert and arrival times, and applies a closed-form energy budget to test a frictional-meltwater explanation.
- Provenance
- Authored by Sunim Acharya and deposited in EarthArXiv; the repository record, Crossref metadata, and current full-text PDF establish the DOI, version, dates, authorship, and licence.
- Validation
- Not Peer Reviewed
- Uncertainty
- Arrival times are bracketed by ten-minute samples and telemetry loss; alert dispatch is an upper bound because delivery, receipt, and response times were not recorded; casualty totals were provisional.
- Limitations
- No hydrodynamic simulation or detachment-volume estimate is provided because a calibrated digital elevation model, measured inflow hydrograph, field validation, and suitable post-event optical data were unavailable.
