in this study, climatic parameters are used to evaluate the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration in isfahan and rasht with two semi-arid and moderate climates using two intelligent methods during 1970-2010. in this research, multi-layer precpetron e (mlp) and gene expression programming (gep) intelligent models are used in order to analyze the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration ...

This paper presents PM10 fugitive dust emission factors for a range of vehicles types and examines the influence of vehicle and wake characteristics on the strength of emissions from an unpaved road. Vertical profile measurements of mass concentration of the passing plumes were carried out using a series of 3 instrumented towers. PM10 emission fluxes at each tower were calculated from knowledge...

The trends in wind speed at a typical wind turbine hub height (80 m) are analyzed using the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) dataset for 1979–2009. A method, assuming the wind profile in the lower boundary layer as power-law functions of altitude, is developed to invert the power exponent (in the power-law equation) from theNARRdata and to compute the following variables at 80 m that a...

precipitation is one of important parameters of climatology and atmospheric science that have more importance in human life. recently, extensive flood and drought entered many damage to most parts of the world. precipitation forecasting and alerts management role is responsible for these problems. today, artificial neural networks are one of developed method that applied for estimate and predic...

Introduction: Wind speed probability at a site has to be modeled for evaluating the energy generation potential of a wind farm. Analytical computation of wind turbine capacity factor at the planning stage of a wind farm is very crucial. Thus, the comparison of Weibull parameters estimation methods and computation of wind turbine capacity factor are the focus of this paper. Case description: Sod...
