Radioactivity in the atmosphere originates from natural radioactive decay, cosmogenic production, nuclear weapons testing and nuclear accidents. Results of the measurements have shown that cosmogenic 7Be is the only gamma emitting nuclide found in the atmosphere of Iran (1). 7Be (t1/2 = 53d) is one of the radioactive products of the bombardment of the atmosphere by cosmic rays. About 75% of 7Be...

Due to the intermittency of wind power generation, it is very hard to manage its system operation and planning. In order to incorporate higher wind power penetrations into power systems that maintain secure and economic power system operation, an accurate and efficient estimation of wind power outputs is needed. In this paper, we propose the stochastic prediction of wind generating resources us...

During a tropical cyclone (TC) worldwide, the Regional and Mesoscale Meteorological Branch (RAMMB) of NOAA/NESDIS (http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/) issues real-time TC surface wind analyses. The purpose this article is to provide value-added estimations several meteorological oceanographic (met-ocean) parameters including overwater friction velocity turbulence intensity, variation speed with h...

The efficiency of a mass-consistent model for wind field adjustment depends on several parameters that arise in various stages of the process. On one hand, those involved in the construction of the initial wind field using horizontal interpolation and vertical extrapolation of the wind measures registered at meteorological stations. On the other hand, the stability parameter which allows from a...

The Persian oak, Quercus brantii, trees in the Zagros region of Western Iran have been in decline since 2000. The decline is assumed to be highly connected with changes in meteorological parameters. Our objectives were to quantify the long-term trends in meteorological parameters and reference evapotranspiration (ET0) in the Zagros region and estimate ecohydrological parameters highly affected ...

The purpose of the present article is to investigate if there exist any such set of temporal stable patterns in temporal series of meteorological variables studying series of air temperature, wind speed and direction an atmospheric pressure in a period with meteorological conditions involving nocturnal inversion of air temperature in Allen, Río Negro, Argentina. Our conjecture is that there exi...

Long-term measurements (over 4 years) of particle number size distributions (submicrometer particles, 3– 800 nm in diameter), trace gases (NO, NO2, and O3), and meteorological parameters (global radiation, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, etc.) were taken in a moderately polluted site in the city of Leipzig (Germany). The resulting complex data set was analyzed with respect to se...

The prediction of wind farm output power is considered as an effective way to increase the wind power capacity and improve the safety and economy of power system. It is one of the hot research topics on wind power. The wind farm output power is related to many factors such as wind speed, temperature, etc., which is difficult to be described by some mathematical expression. In this paper, Back P...
