background : zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl), an important public health problem in iran, is sensitive to climate conditions. this study aimed to examine dynamic relations between the climate factors and incidence of zcl in golestan province, northern iran during 2010–2012. methods : data of monthly climatic factors, including temperature variables, relative humidity variables, evaporati...

This paper develops a new routing algorithm for improving simulation capacity of physically-based hydrological models applied to sparsely-gauged river basins. The study area is the Lhasa River basin, a large plateau basin with an area of 26,225 km2 in southwest China. In the basin, observations from three hydrological stations are available, and the observed hourly rainfall and summer stream fl...

Trend analysis and estimation of monthly and annual precipitation, reference evapotranspiration ETo, and rainfall deficit are essential for water-resources management and cropping-system design. Rainfall, ETo, and water-deficit patterns and trends at Macon in eastern Mississippi for a 120-yr period (1894–2014) were analyzed for annual, seasonal, and monthly periods. The analysis showed historic...

River systems in semiarid regions are susceptible to rapid and dramatic channel erosion and arroyo formation. Climate plays an important role in arroyo development through changes in precipitation intensity, seasonality, and variability. Here, trends in precipitation and streamflow at the annual, monthly, and daily timescales for the last 50 yr are analyzed for the Rio Puerco Basin in northwest...

The hydroclimatic association between the monthly Indian summer monsoon rainfall and a proposed monthly composite index (MCI) of large-scale atmospheric circulations from the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean regions is established. The spatial variability of this association is also checked. The predictability of the monthly Indian summer monsoon rainfall using the MCI is also investigated and is...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract A sequential synthesis inversion method is described to estimate CO 2 sources from continuous atmospheric data. The sequential method makes the problem computa-tionally feasible. The method is assessed using four-hourly synthetic concentration data genera...

Global precipitation data sets with high spatial and temporal resolution are needed for many applications, but they were unavailable before the recent creation of several such satellite products. Here, we evaluate four different satellite data sets of hourly or 3-hourly precipitation (namely CMORPH, PERSIANN, TRMM 3B42 and a microwave-only product referred to as MI) by comparing the spatial pat...

to effectively design daylight in buildings, daylight availability data are necessary. although there is a great potential for daylight energy in iran, its use has been hampered by the absence of measured data. in this paper the illuminance data on the vertical south facing surfaces of tehran were estimated using the iesna model. for this propose an illuminance measuring set was used in order t...
