Abstract: Long-term records of winter ice duration, formation, and breakup dates (1869?1996) and maximum thickness (1950?95) on Lake Baikal are analyzed to determine the nature of temporal trends and the relationship with the ...

Abstract: The 85-GHz polarization corrected temperature (PCT85) algorithm, using the V85 and H85 channels of the SSM/I sensor, is evaluated for estimation of midlatitude rainfall. The algorithm ? parameter and rain/no-rain thresholds ...

Abstract: There are numerous applications in climatology and hydrology where accurate information at scales smaller than the existing monthly/2.5° products would be invaluable. Here, a new microwave/infrared rainfall algorithm is ...

Abstract: outhern Africa is characterized by a high degree of rainfall variability, affecting agriculture and hydrology, among other sectors. This paper aims to investigate such variability and to identify stable relationships with ...

Abstract: AbstractFuture projections of precipitation at regional scales are vital to inform climate change adaptation activities. Therefore, is it important to quantify projected changes and associated uncertainty, and understand ...

Abstract: The low-level jet (LLJ) over the Bodélé depression in northern Chad is a newly identified feature. Strong LLJ events are responsible for the emission of large quantities of mineral dust from the depression, the world?s ...

Abstract: The development of a combined infrared and passive microwave satellite rainfall estimation technique is outlined. Infrared data from geostationary satellites are combined with polar-orbiting passive microwave estimates to ...

Abstract: As part of the U.S. Agency for International Development/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration project to develop an improved monitoring, forecasting, and simulation system for the river Nile, the Remote Sensing ...
