in this paper occurrences of precipitation in iran was analyzed according to random processes by the applying of markov chain model. in order to do that occurrence and non-occurrence of rainfall of asfezari data base for the period of 1961/3/21 to 2004/12/31 was used. this data are for 7187 pixel and 15991 days. by using markov chain model first order two state dry and wet frequency matrix was ...

[1] Predicted precipitation regime changes in arid ecosystems have the potential to alter soil C balance, but the influence of changes in different aspects of precipitation (amount, seasonality, and intensity) and the factors contributing to such effects are poorly understood. We used a process-based ecosystem model (PALS) that was modified, parameterized, and evaluated for a Mojave Desert ecos...

many of the meteorological variables such as precipitation, strongly depend on the large scale atmospheric and ocean surface circulations.in the current study, the effect of climatic signals on the average monthly rainfall of the adjacent stations of sheshdeh and gharebolagh area was investigated during the statistical period twenty five years from 1985 to 2009. the regression and neural networ...

We describe the structure and present situation of the Chinese healthcare system and discuss its primary problems and challenges. We discuss problems with inefficient burden sharing, adverse provider incentives and huge inequities, and seek explanations in the structural features of the Chinese healthcare system. The current situation will be further challenged in the future by an aging populat...

nowadays, undoubted access to up to date with high spatial resolution and low temporal resolution of meteorological parameters is a one of the necessary needs for meteorological science researches. in order to doing this research have been used the different daily, monthly and yearly iran precipitation from global and regional data base of gpcpøŒ gpccøŒ aphrodit v101 0.25øŒ aphrodit v101 0.5 ùˆ...

The Dongting Lake Basin (DTLB) of China is a flood prone area. Knowledge of the spatiotemporal characteristics and risks of precipitation extremes is essential for flood mitigation. Based on the precipitation amount (R), precipitation intensity (Ri), max 1 day precipitation amount (Rx1) and max 5 day precipitation amount (Rx5), this study analyzed the spatial-temporal patterns, risks and invest...

introduction selection of the clear and transparent index for the precipitation using long-term homogeneous data is an important point for the researchers. several investigations have led to different indices for heavy rainfall. in some cases the specific amount of precipitation was used for heavy rainfall (rahimzadeh, 2005; masoodian, 2008; kamiguchi et al., 2006), e.g. alijani (2002) has sugg...
