High-resolution gridded 2 m air temperature datasets are important input data for global and regional climate change studies, agrohydrologic model simulations numerical weather predictions, etc. In this study, the digital elevation (DEM) is used to correct forecasts produced by ECMWF. The multi-grid variation formulation method then fuse from corrected ground automatic station observations. fus...

This article is devoted to the study of medieval Alania settlements in X-XII centuries, mentioned written sources. The issue territorial localization Alanian cities described texts highlighted. A hypothesis according which was a union four independent regions with cultural and political centers centuries described. first region (western region) occupied territory mountains foothills gorges rive...

In this second paper, the individual-machine potential energy surface is established. The constant- $\theta _{i}$ angle of machine found in space. Because strictly zero surface, has a significant effect on shape surface. That is, sepa...

Glacial deposits on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains were investigated through map and air photo interpretation combined with fi eld mapping. Deposits representing the Smiths Fork (local Pinedale equivalent), Blacks Fork (Bull Lake equivalent) and pre-Blacks Fork Glaciations are present in the form of terminal and lateral moraines, ground moraine, and outwash valley trains. Nineteen separ...

This work presents a region descriptor based on the integration of the information that the depth of valleys image provides. The depth of valleys image is based on the presence of intensity valleys around polyps due to the image acquisition. Our proposed description method consists of defining, for each point, a series of radial sectors around it and then accumulate the maxima of the depth of v...

In an earlier paper^ I described the new genus Brooksma from a series of sediments in southeastern Alaska tentatively referred to the upper Silurian. In that paper will be found a brief discussion of the faunal affinities of the series. A more detailed study of the Brooksina fauna together with the famias of lower and liighei horizons strengthens the belief that the formations in question shoul...

O ver the last 25 years, a series of studies has investigated the diurnal formation and destruction cycle of temperature inversions in valleys and basins (for a review see, e.g., Whiteman 1990). In most of the valleys and basins that have been studied to date, advective influences produced by the well-known, diurnally reversing upand down-valley wind systems have greatly complicated the analyse...

High elevation montane areas are called "sky islands" when they occur as a series of high mountains separated by lowland valleys. Different climatic conditions at high elevations makes sky islands a specialized type of habitat, rendering them naturally fragmented compared to more continuous habitat at lower elevations. Species in sky islands face unsuitable climate in the intervening valleys wh...

Altogether 327 valleys and their 314 cross-sectional profiles were analyzed on Mars, including width, depth, length, eroded volume, drainage and spatial density, as well as the network structure. According to this systematic analysis, five possible drainage network types were identified such as (a) small valleys, (b) integrated small valleys, (c) individual, medium-sized valleys, (d) unconfined...
