Drought in Northern Italy: Long Earth Observation Time Series Reveal Snow Line Elevation to Be Several Hundred Meters Above Long-Term Average in 2022

چکیده

The hydrological drought in Northern Italy 2022 was, large part, the consequence of a snow Italian Alps winter 2021/22 and resulting deficit melt water runoff. In this communication, we assessed snow-cover dynamics nine Alpine catchments using long time series satellite-derived line elevation (SLE) measurements. We compared SLE year to long-term 1985–2021. early 2022, was located several hundred meters above expected median values all catchments. This resulted deficits snow-covered area up 83% Western (catchment Sesia, March 2022) 61% Eastern (Brenta, median. Although data from optical satellite imagery do not contain information about depth content, preliminary qualitative analysis, derived show good agreement with Standardized Snowpack Index (SSPI) which is based on equivalent (SWE). While exact relationships between SLE, SWE, runoff have be explored further catchment basis, long-time may potential for use warning systems.

Long-term isoprene flux measurements above a northern hardwood forest

[1] We report continuous whole canopy isoprene emission fluxes from a northern hardwood forest in Michigan for the 1999–2002 growing seasons. The eddy covariance fluxes of isoprene, CO2, latent heat, and sensible heat are presented along with an analysis of the seasonal and year-to-year variations. Measurements were made in collaboration with the AmeriFlux site located at the University of Mich...

Analysis of the Earth Dams Function against the Effects of Long-Term Deposition in Reservoirs (Polrood Earth Dam-Guilan Province)

Estimation of sediment transport load due to erosion in river basins is one of the issues which is indispensable for many projects related to water resources, soil and damps construction. With regards to the phenomenon of erosion and transmission Sedimentation in rivers has always led to deformation in the seaboard and sedimentation, so the management and planning in bank of rivers is important...

Dynamic Harmonic Analysis of Long Term over Voltages Based on Time Varying Fourier series in Extended Harmonic Domain

Harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. The widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. This paper employs an Extended Harmonic Domain (EHD) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

P18: Signaling Pathway in Long-Term Potentiation

Synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has been discussed for many years. Several forms of synaptic plasticity of mammal’s CNS have been identified, such as those that occur in long-term potentiation (LTP). Different types of LTP have been observed in distinctive areas of the CNS of mammals. The hippocampus is one of the most important areas in the CNS that pla...
