In arid and semi-arid regions, soil surface warming is a considerable phenomenon causing a high thermal gradient which makes water flow intensely. The degree of soil temperature is effective on crop production, plant growth and soil microorganisms. In recent years, the ascending trend of temperature has been substantially noticed by researchers in the issues of pointwise climate change and at w...

This study presents isotopic compositions and their vertical profile of meteoric surface water samples collected in the Southern Himalaya since 2015, with elevations extending all way up to Mt. Everest’s summit. The data covering a wide altitudinal ranges rich types are presented for first time. series situ 8848 m asl lead following discoveries: (1) dominance rainy-season precipitation surface-...

Despite a significant progress and numerous publications over the last few decades a comprehensive understanding of the process of waves’ excitation by wind still has not been achieved. The main goal of the present work was to provide as comprehensive as possible set of experimental data that can be quantitatively compared with theoretical models. Measurements at various air flow rates and at n...

An automated, easily deployed Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) instrument system, developed for deployment on perennial sea ice in the polar oceans to measure changes in upper ocean water properties in all seasons, is described, and representative data from prototype instruments are presented. The ITP instrument consists of three components: a surface subsystem that sits atop an ice floe; a weighted...

iron oxide minerals in soils provide valuable insights into pedogenic processes. a wealth of such information has been obtained by rock magnetic investigations on temperate soils but similar studies on tropical soils are rare. here, we report rock magnetic data on pristine soil profiles and surficial soils from five catchments in the tropical southern india and throw light on the pedogenic pro...

parameters as interception, infiltration, water storage on surface holes and soil profile, evapotranspiration are factors of loss water in a watershed and avoid from changing of precipitation to runoff. in this study, by use of hec-hms model and comparison of results of different methods of precipitation loss evaluation (initial and constant, green & ampt, scs curve number, deficit & constant a...

We examine the thermodynamics of the liquid-vapor interface by direct calculation of the surface entropy, enthalpy, and free energy from extensive molecular dynamics simulations using the two-phase thermodynamics (2PT) method. Results for water, acetonitrile, cyclohexane, dimethyl sulfoxide, hexanol, N-methyl acetamide, and toluene are presented. We validate our approach by predicting the inter...

current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (sd) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) and two water q...

On the microscale, the dielectrophoretic (DEP) force may be used to control and manipulate sub-microliter volumes of liquid water using co-planar electrodes of very simple design. The basic phenomenology of liquid DEP on the microscale is familiar; water tends to collect in regions where the electric field is strongest. However, because capillarity and surface wetting become stronger as dimensi...
