Abstract Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering has been proposed as a potential solution to reduce climate change and its impacts. Here, we explore the responses of Hadley circulation (HC) intensity intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) using strategic stratospheric geoengineering, in which sulfur dioxide was injected into stratosphere at four different locations maintain global-mean surface tem...

Abstract The study aimed to analyze the seasonal precipitation rate using dataset retrieved from TRMM over Nigeria. Seasons evaluated are December February (DJF), March May (MAM), June August (JJA) and September October (SON) ten years (December 2009-November 2019) data acquired base. result shows that, differs these ranges light northern regions heavy in southern regions. For DJF season, exper...

Following a predicted decline in water resources in the Mediterranean Basin, we used reaction-diffusion equations to gain a better understanding of expected changes in properties of vegetation patterns that evolve along the rainfall transition between semi-arid and arid rainfall regions. Two types of scenarios were investigated: the first, a discrete scenario, where the potential consequences o...

Design flood estimation is often required in engineering practice such as design of hydrologic structures, flood plain management, river ecological studies and flood insurance studies. The national guideline for design flood estimation in Australia known as Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) recommends the Design Event Approach as the preferred method of rainfallbased design flood estimation ...

The accurate production of a rainfall environment similar to natural rainfall by a rainfall simulator (RS) is a crucial and challenging task in rainfall instrument testing or calibration. Although the spatial uniformity of rainfall accumulation is a key parameter of an RS, the spatial uniformity comparison between simulated rainfall and natural rainfall, and the spatial uniformity improvements ...

[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...

Miguel, Satyanath, and Sergenti (2004) argue that lower rainfall levels and negative rainfall shocks increase conflict risk in Sub-Saharan Africa. This conclusion rests on their finding of a negative correlation between conflict in t and rainfall growth between t-1 and t-2. I argue that this finding is driven by a positive correlation between conflict in t and rainfall levels in t-2. If lower r...

This study investigates the wildfire biomass-burning emission levels during strong El Niño–southern oscillation (ENSO) events of 2010–2011 (characterized by a La Niña event) and 2015–2016 Niño over southern African region. Specifically, parameters black carbon (BC), monoxide (CO) sulfur dioxide (SO2) were investigated. Of interest in current was (2015–2016) (2010–2011) main fire seasons Africa,...

Landslides along road corridors in Alaska national parks pose threats to public safety, visitor access, subsistence activities, and result costly remediation of damaged infrastructure. Landslide risk these areas, which contain near-surface permafrost, is associated with mean annual air temperatures (MAATs) above freezing heavy precipitation events. Historical (1981–2020) values MAAT summer (JJA...

There is a need to develop improved accelerated test methods for evaluating the leaching of wood preservatives from treated wood exposed to precipitation. In this study the effects of rate of rainfall and length of intervals between rainfall events on leaching was evaluated by exposing specimens to varying patterns of simulated rainfall under controlled laboratory conditions. Lumber specimens w...
