Abstract: Mass and Dempsey (1985) have reformulated the equations for the one-level sigma-system model over complex terrain and suggested they have removed the large hydrostatic part of the horizontal pressure-gradient force (PGF). ...

Abstract: It is shown that the normalized diurnal and interdiurnal surface wind variabilities have a clear decreasing trend in central-southern Israel for the last three decades. This trend is found in the surface data of the ...

Abstract: Different common interpolation methods have been used for transformation of atmospheric variables from pressure levels into isentropic levels. The accuracy of the derived variables depends both on the specific interpolation ...

Abstract: On the assumption that moisture convergence due to mechanical uplifting approximately equals the orographic precipitation, the meso?-scale rainfall distributions over mountainous regions in Israel are investigated. The ...

Abstract: A fractional study of the factor separation (FS) approach is performed. A fractional version of the FS method is discussed. The revised approach allows a determination of role of the acting physical mechanisms as well as ...

Abstract: A novel approach for reconstruction of rainfall spatial?temporal dynamics from a wireless microwave network is presented. It employs a stochastic space?time model based on a rainfall advection model, assimilated using a ...

Abstract: Yagur and other rain gauge stations located on the lee side of Mount Carmel in Israel experience much higher amounts of precipitation than those measured on the windward side of the mountain at a similar altitude and more ...

Abstract: Over the period from 0000 UTC 3 December to 0000 UTC 5 December 2001, heavy rains fell in northern Israel. Intensity of the rainfall in some areas exceeded 250 mm (24 h)?1. Results of an investigation of the case including ...

Abstract: evere visibility limitations resulting from fog may lead to acute transportation accidents and high losses of property and lives. Thus, reliable monitoring facilities are of extreme importance. Nevertheless, current ...
