in recent years, mangrove forests with the high economical and environmental value are threatened with extinction by human activities. ex-situ conservation is an appropriate method to conservation this forest. this study was conducted with the purpose of studying the role of climatology factors as one of the most important environmental parameters in dispersion of mangrove forests of hormozgan ...

1) Why did the authors consider a zonal mean climatology for their baseline? Why not use a spatial (lat-lon) climatology? Over the SH the stratosphere and the ozone layer have a distinct asymmetry determined by the presence of the quasi stationary wave 1. Furthermore, as noted in Malanca et al. (2005), this important aspect of mid to high latitude TOC has changed over time both in intensity and...

The winners of the poster prizes are below Kelsey Mulder presenting her poster We present a climatology for tornadoes in the British Isles, defined here as England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. The climatology includes the geographic distribution, annual and diurnal cycles, seasonality, intensities, and occurrence of outbreaks in ...

daily precipitation data from aphrodite's resources with a spatial resolution of 0.25*0.25 degree for 57 years have been used to detect the trend of precipitation in afghanistan. first of all, monthly, seasonally, and yearly maps and regional mean time series calculated. according to the annual map, mean annual precipitation of the country is about 256 mm. there are two precipitation maxim...

Prototype coarse-grained stochastic parametrizations for the interaction with unresolved features of tropical convection are developed here. These coarse-grained stochastic parametrizations involve systematically derived birth/death processes with low computational overhead that allow for direct interaction of the coarse-grained dynamical variables with the smaller-scale unresolved fluctuations...
