Design of an automatic hydro-meteorological observation network for a real-time flood warning system: a case study of Vu Gia-Thu Bon river basin, Vietnam

This paper presents an interdisciplinary approach, along with Vietnam's legal frameworks, to design an automatic hydro-meteorological (HM) observation network for a real-time flood warning system in Vu Gia-Thu Bon (VGTB) river basin, Vietnam. The automatic HM monitoring network consists of weat...
