1. To assess the effects of acute exposure to high altitude on baroreceptor function in man we evaluated the effects of baroreceptor activation on R-R interval and blood pressure control at high altitude. We measured the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components in R-R, non-invasive blood pressure and skin blood flow, and the effect of baroreceptor modulation by 0. 1-Hz sinusoidal n...

The response of the southwestern Japan/East Sea (JES) to atmospheric pressure ðPatmÞ and wind-stress ð~tÞ forcing is investigated by analyzing 2-year bottom pressure ðPbotÞ data and coastal tide-gauge records. Coherence analyses between Pbot data reveal that the response of the southwestern JES is nearly uniform at frequencies lower than 0.6 cycles per day (cpd). The Ulleung Basin (UB) average ...

Commercial and subsistence fisheries pressure is increasing in the Gulf of California, Mexico. One consequence often associated with high levels of fishing pressure is an increase in bycatch of marine mammals and birds. Fisheries bycatch has contributed to declines in several pinniped species and may be affecting the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) population in the Gulf of Califor...

introductionmany aspect strongly influence regional climate includes localized surface processes, large-scale patterns, especially mid and upper level tropospheric circulation and many factors control precipitation in the west of iran includes location of emigrate westerly winds systems, jet streams location, humidity flux and topography. upper tropospheric jet stream constitutes a significant ...

We use long instrumental temperature series together with available field reconstructions of sea-level pressure (SLP) and three-dimensional climate model simulations to analyze relations between temperature anomalies and atmospheric circulation patterns over much of Europe and the Mediterranean for the late winter/early spring (January–April, JFMA) season. A Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA)...

introduction because of the vital role of water in human life, examining the phenomenon of climate change effects on drought severity and frequency is important for any area of interest. nowadays, climate researchers considers the effects of climate change and climate simulations by using the atmospheric-ocean general circulation models. to achieve the prediction of climatologically parameters,...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of ten gcms and three emission scenarios to reproduce the rainfall and temperature parameters in kermanshah, ravansar and west islamabad stations located inside qaresou basin in iran using the average weighting method, over 1989-2008 period. at first, the models output and the scenarios were provided for this period. then, the models valid...

in this study, a new array of meteorological elements and a synoptic climatologic classification to produce abaseline climate and to derive meteorological factors that are effective on air pollution in tehran, which is located in a semi-enclosed basin was developed. the data set includes daily sea-level pressure and 500mb geopotential height fields from ncep-ncar and tehran upper air sounding d...
