The zoning of phenomena based on geographical location has a long history; any geographical zone is a part on ground level, which possesses noticeable internal consistency in terms of its existing phenomena and processes. Agroclimatic zoning is mainly purposed to determine agroclimate regions and to evaluate these zones based on their relative utility in order to cultivate varieties of agricult...

Tropical rainfall to first order responds to variations in Earth’s orbit through shifts of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and changes in zonally averaged rainfall intensity. Here, a conceptual model is developed that represents both processes and their response to orbital insolation variations. The model predicts the seasonal evolution of tropical rainfall between 308S and 308N. Inso...

There was a major decrease in particulate emissions after the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970. The reduction in emissions caused a rapid rebound in summer rainfall in the Atlanta region in the late 1970s. There was a decrease in summer rainfall of at least 40 mm at affected locales prior to the passage of act. The rainfall suppression involved a decrease of heavy-rainfall days. a b s t r a...

Weather elements are the most important parameters in metrological and hydrological studies especially in semi-arid regions, like Jordan. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used here to predict the minimum and maximum temperature of rainfall for the next 10 years using 30 years’ time series data for the period from 1985 to 2015. Several models were used based on different memb...

land use change is one of the main factors in the process of changing the regime of flood in watersheds. taleghan watershed has been subjected to many land use changes over years, which probably effects on flood characteristics of taleghan river. in present study the effects of land use change on some parameters including peak flow, volume and flood base time, in part of taleghan basin, was inv...

[1] This study addressed the diurnal cycle of rainfall during the summer monsoon season (May to September) around the Indochina peninsula, with a focus on the diurnal cycle’s relationship to terrain. The investigation used 10 year (1998–2007) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM‐PR) observations. Results revealed that the diurnal variations in rainfall over the Indochin...

Multiple observational data sets and atmosphere-only simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 are analyzed to characterize recent rainfall variability and trends over Africa focusing on 1983–2010. Data sets exhibiting spurious variability, linked in part to a reduction in rain gauge density, were identified. The remaining observations display coherent increases in annu...

Climate change is a global issue that has impact on every living being in the world. Since Malaysia is located in the tropical area where there is no distinct four seasons, analysing rainfall has therefore become one of the common assessment tools for climate change. In this study, rainfall trends and spatial variations of Langat River Basin will be determined for the period of 1971-2012. Only ...
