precipitation patterns are influenced by many factors, such as global atmospheric circulations to name but one. precipitation patterns in iran have always had great fluctuations even in a smaller scale like the alburz mountain range. the present research has tried to find the relationship between global atmospheric patterns and the pervasive precipitation ones in alburz. for doing so, 17 climat...

The hydrological response due to potential CO,~forced climate change in the Black Hills of South Dakota was investigated using modelling techniques that include variations to atmospheric CO,, temperature, and precipitation. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to model the 427 km Spring Creek basin hydrology and simulate the impact of potential climate change. As expected, modelli...

temperature and precipitation are among important atmospheric parameters for watershed planning. assessment of temperature and precipitation trends is very important for future watershed planning. in this paper, trends of atmospheric parameters such as seasonal and annual temperature and precipitation were examined for the synoptic stations of bandar anzali, rasht, ramsar, babolsar and gorgan. ...

We employed a novel method that combined probabilistic analysis and spatial modeling assisted by GIS to analyze the risk of extreme precipitation in Northeast Spain related to three atmospheric circulation configurations: the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Mediterranean Oscillation, and Western Mediterranean Oscillation (WeMO). The analysis was performed at an event-based scale using data ob...

An adaptation technique based on the synoptic atmospheric circulation to forecast local precipitation, namely the analogue method, has been implemented for the western Swiss Alps. During the calibration procedure, relevance maps were established for the geopotential height data. These maps highlight the locations were the synoptic circulation was found of interest for the precipitation forecast...

Hydrologic and ecologic studies in mountainous terrain are sensitive to the temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation. In this study a geostatistical model, Auto-Searched Orographic and Atmospheric Effects Detrended Kriging (ASOADeK), is introduced to map mountain precipitation using only precipitation gauge data. The ASOADeK model considers both precipitation spatial covariance and or...

This paper reviews techniques and equipment for collecting precipitation samples from the atmosphere (fog and cloud water) and from atmospheric deposits (dew, hoarfrost, and rime) that are suitable for the evaluation of atmospheric pollution. It discusses the storage and preparation of samples for analysis and also presents bibliographic information on the concentration ranges of inorganic and ...
