this study investigates the contributions of atlantic ocean to june-august rainfall over uganda and western kenya (ku). the study has utilized the datasets including precipitation from the global precipitation climatology centre, north atlantic oscillation index (naoi), south atlantic ocean dipole index (saodi), era-interim reanalysis, and the atlantic ocean sea surface temperature (sst). singu...

In this paper, we have examined the effect of climate variables on the yield average and variability of major grain crops (rice, maize, and wheat) in Iran from 1983 to 2014. For this purpose, we made use of the Just and Pope Production Function crop yields panel data. The results revealed that the influences of climate variables were different in the crops. The time trend positively influenced ...

This paper presents an Artificial Intelligence approach for regional rainfall forecasting for Orissa state, India on monthly and seasonal time scales. The possible relation between regional rainfall over Orissa and the large scale climate indices like El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), EQUitorial INdian Ocean Oscillation (EQUINOO) and a local climate index of Ocean-Land Temperature Contrast (...

The research examined effect of climate variability on yield of the two dominant cool weather cereals (wheat and barley) in central highland and Arssi grain plough farming systems of Ethiopia using eight round unbalanced panel data (1994-2014). The stochastic frontier model result revealed that production inputs for producing wheat and barley in the two farming system had significant effect. Cr...

Background & objectives: Heavy metals enter water sources in many ways and cause hazards such as poisoning and carcinogenesis in the living organisms. This study aimed to investigate the concentration of heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, and cadmium) in the Yamchi Reservoir Dam and Ardabil drinking water distribution network in high and low rainfall seasons in 2018. Methods: In this cross-sectio...

the dominant agricultural land uses are included of wheat farming in the kermanshah providence in the northwest of iran. the objective of this paper is analyzing of topoclimatic zonning of the wheat dry farming areas based on overlying the climatic and topographic character tics. to achieve the exact date of stages of rain-fed wheat growing in different areas of the province, the degree-days te...
