Computation of Average Rainfall over a Basin:

Lightning Contribution to Improvement of Passive Microwave Vertical Structure and Rainfall Estimation 6.4

In search for relationships between lightning and rainfall with a rectangular grid-box methodology

The rainfall and lightning activity associated with three depressions which affected the area of Cyprus were studied in order to identify possible relationships between them. The lightning data were provided by the National Observatory of Athens, Greece, and were spatially and statistically related to the corresponding rainfall measurements from the rain gauge network of the Cyprus Meteorologic...

Positive Lightning Activity during an Intense Derecho

A derecho is an extratropical mesoscale convective system (MCS) that produces damaging winds from a series of downbursts. On 4 July 1999, a severe derecho caused extensive damage to forested regions along the United States/Canada border, west of Lake Superior. There were 665,000 acres of forest destroyed in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Minnesota and Quetico Provincial Pa...

[Rainfall and acute febrile syndrome in a dengue-endemic area].

OBJECTIVE Describing patterns of acute febrile syndrome (AFS) consultation related to dengue and evaluating association with rainfall. METHODS 318 undifferentiated AFS patients were detected in two clinics during a 7-month period (March to September) and then included in systematic clinical follow-up. 31 % of them (81/281) were IgM positive for dengue. Rainfall (litres/square meter-day) durin...
