The Mesoscale Alpine Program (MAP) is a cooperative international effort to improve numerical forecasting of precipitation and circulation patterns over complex terrain (Bougeault et al. 2000). One of the primary objectives is better understanding of the mechanisms of heavy orographic precipitation. An intensive field phase of MAP was held over the European Alps from 7 September 1999 to 15 Nove...

i introduction convective systems are atmospheric events that are associated with hazardous consequences, such as strong wind drafts, lightning, heavy rainfall, hail, or even tornado. they are manifested in the atmosphere within a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. a convection cell is composed of two distinct regions: the actual convective part which consists of the coldest intense ve...

Detailed hourly precipitation patterns are can also be tracked in the wind and pressure fields. Finally, analyzed for two major winter U.S. east coast storms that some thoughts are offered on the possible dynamic signifiexhibited considerable mesoscale features. Pronounced cance of organized mesoscale precipitation patterns, spatial and temporal continuity is noted for individual along with com...

introduction long-term annual extreme climate events, especially temperature and precipitation, have generally been used as indicators for the assessment of climate change. one of the most changeable climatic variables in time and space is precipitation. there are great number of research papers focusing on extreme precipitation on global, regional and national scales have been written. the res...

strain induced precipitation in hsla-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°c to 1100°c and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. the absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°c was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. the stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

We followed seasonal and year-to-year population dynamics for a diverse rodent assemblage in a short-grass prairie ecosystem in southeastern Colorado (USA) for 6 yr. We captured 2,798 individual rodents (range, one to 812 individuals per species) belonging to 19 species. The two most common species, deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) and western harvest mice (Reithrodontomys megalotis), general...

to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...
