Solar Radiation Estimation from Rainfall and Temperature Data in Arid and Semi-arid Climates of Iran
Precipitation and air temperature data, only, are often recorded at meteorological stations, with radiation beingmeasured at very few weather stations, especially in developing countries. Therefore there arises a need for suitablemodels to estimate solar radiation for a completion of data sets. This paper is about an evaluation of eight models foran estimation of daily solar radiation (Q) from ...
متن کاملApplication of Satellite-Based Precipitation Estimates to Rainfall-Runoff Modelling in a Data-Scarce Semi-Arid Catchment
Rainfall-runoff modelling is a useful tool for water resources management. This study presents a simple daily rainfall-runoff model, based on the water balance equation, which we apply to the 11,630 km2 Lesser Zab catchment in northeast Iraq. The model was forced by either observed daily rain gauge data from four stations in the catchment or satellite-derived rainfall estimates from two TRMM Mu...
متن کاملVariability of Rainfall in a Semi-Arid Catchment in Burkina Faso
s The climate in the Sahel is marked by the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall. As the agriculture is mainly rainfed in Burkina Faso, the information about rainfall is crucial to help the farmers in their decisions. A network of wireless sensorscope stations is installed in the catchment of the Singou River (in the Gourma region of Burkina Faso) and monitor at a time step of 5 minutes...
متن کاملIncreased rainfall variability and reduced rainfall amount decreases soil CO2 flux in a grassland ecosystem
Predicted climate changes in the US Central Plains include altered precipitation regimes with increased occurrence of growing season droughts and higher frequencies of extreme rainfall events. Changes in the amounts and timing of rainfall events will likely affect ecosystem processes, including those that control C cycling and storage. Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is an important component of...
متن کاملComparison of Whittaker and Modified-Whittaker plots to estimate species richness in semi-arid grassland and shrubland
Biological diversity and species richness have been declined throughout the world as a result of human activities. Measuring species richness is important in rangeland conservation to evaluate the status and trends of native plant species, detecting non-native species invasion and monitoring rare species. However, heterogeneity in plant distribution makes inventories difficult. In this study tw...
