during february of 2005 the north of iran witnessed the development and activity of a variety of severe meteorological systems accompanied with unusual heavy precipitation, mostly snow and hail. the rate and amount of snow in the northern coastal region was so heavy that it made a new record for that region with a report of more than 3m of snow in rasht, a city located in that area. also the da...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) precipitation scenarios are often characterized by biases and coarse resolution that limit their direct application for basin level hydrological modeling. Bias-correction and spatial disaggregation methods are ...

We evaluated precipitation quantity and inorganic N deposition from wetfall at the Saddle site on Niwot Ridge, an alpine location in the Colorado Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The chemical content of precipitation was collected with an Aerometrics wet-only deposition collector and precipitation amount was collected in a co-located Fergusson-type weighing gauge with a wind shield. Calculat...

Abstract Proxy records of the oxygen isotope ratio 18O/16O past precipitation (δ18Op) have played an important role in revealing hydroclimatic changes, on basis global observed relationships between monthly δ18Op and both amount temperature only a few years as reported by Dansgaard 1964. It is therefore crucial to systematically re-evaluate using modern instrumental data. We analysed annual mea...
