Abstract: This paper outlines a rainfall forecasting model involving satellite nephanalyses and certain conventional weather data for application in regions where the rain-bearing clouds are advectional rather than convectional. ...

Abstract: The global distribution of precipitation is an outstanding example of a pattern whose form cannot be deduced very satisfactorily from conventional observational data. Many investigations of the global hydrological cycle ...

Abstract: The large-scale circulation departure patterns associated with the interannual variability of (July?June) rainfall in Java are studied on the basis of ship observations (1911?73) in the Indian Ocean and surface station ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the automatic construction of a cloud-type and cloud-amount nephanalysis. The uses to which such a nephanalysis could be put are first considered, and then a combination of brightness and texture ...

Abstract: Natural slopes are often observed to have a concave, convex, or a combination concave/convex profile, yet constructed slopes are traditionally designed with planar cross-sectional geometry. In this paper, the stability of ...
