A Rain Gauge for the Measurement of Finescale Temporal Variations

Disdrometer Network Observations of Finescale Spatial–Temporal Clustering in Rain

The spatial clustering of drops is a defining characteristic of rain on all scales fromcentimeters to kilometers. It is the physical basis formuch of the observed variability in rain. The authors report here on the temporal–spatial 1-min counts using a network of 21 optical disdrometers over a small area near Charleston, South Carolina. These observations reveal significant differences between ...

Rain Gauge Station Network Design for Hormozgan Province in Iran

A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Temporal Variations of Runoff and Sediment Generation during the Growing Season in Rain-Fed Lentil: A Case Study in Tikmehdash Region of Eastern Azerbaijan

Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION The contribution of crop cover to reducing runoff and erosion depends on the type, height, density and stage of plant growth. The literature review indicates that because of the different life forms, the effect of plants on the reduction of runoff and erosion are different at different growth stages [13]. However, no comprehensive studies have been conduc...
