Abstract: The description is presented of the design, calibration and operation of a 100-ton, floating, drag-plate, lysimeter used both for measurement of atmospheric shear stress and evapotranspiration from a growing grass turf. ...

Abstract: El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, a periodic warming of sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific, generates a significant proportion of short-term climate variations globally, ...

Abstract: This is a survey of the interesting phenomenology and the prominent regimes of granular flow, followed by a unified mathematical synthesis of continuum modeling. The unification is achieved by means of “parametricâ€‌ ...

Abstract: Climate predictions with lead times of one season or more often provide prospects for exploiting climate-related risks and opportunities. This motivates the evaluation of precipitation prediction techniques from statistical ...

Abstract: Data from a realistic model of the ocean, forced with observed atmospheric conditions for the period 1953?92, are analyzed to determine the energetics of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific. The work done by ...

Abstract: A technique for producing regional rainfall forecasts for southern Africa is developed that statistically maps or ?recalibrates? large-scale circulation features produced by the ECHAM3.6 general circulation model (GCM) to ...

Abstract: Extreme phases of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon have been blamed for precipitation anomalies in many areas of the world. In some areas the probability of above?normal precipitation may be increased ...
