A nonparametric wet/dry spell model for resampling daily precipitation
A nonparametric wet/dry spell model is developed for resampling daily precipitation at a site. The model considers alternating sequences of wet and dry days in a given season of the year. All marginal, joint, and conditional probability densities of interest (e.g., dry spell length, wet spell length, precipitation amount, and wet spell length given prior to dry spell length) are estimated nonpa...
متن کاملSeasonal and Interannual Variability in Atmospheric Turbidity over South Africa
Aerosols affect climate by attenuating solar radiation and acting as cloud condensation nuclei. Despite their importance in the climate system, our understanding of the time-space variability of aerosols is fragmentary. Measurements and reliable estimates of atmospheric turbidity—the total column amount of aerosol—are scarce in most countries and this is especially true in the Southern Hemisphe...
متن کاملanalysis of monthly wet and dry spell occurrence by using power laws in golestan province, iran
the wet and dry spells can be defined as a number of consecutive months with rain amount greater or less than the truncation level, respectively.analysis of the wet and dry spell properties of monthly rainfall series at 40 meteorology stations in the golestan province is carried out for an extended period of 34 years (1974–2007). the results proved that the patterns of wet and dry spell duratio...
متن کاملIntraseasonal and Interannual Variability of Rainfall over India
A gridded daily rainfall dataset prepared from observations at 3700 stations is used to analyze the intraseasonal and interannual variability of the summer monsoon rainfall over India. It is found that the major drought years are characterized by large-scale negative rainfall anomalies covering nearly all of India and persisting for the entire monsoon season. The intraseasonal variability of ra...
متن کاملDynamics of Interannual Variability in Summer Precipitation over East Asia*
The summertime mei-yu–baiu rainband over East Asia displays considerable interannual variability. A singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis for interannual variability reveals that precipitation anomalies over the mei-yu–baiu region are accompanied by in situ anomalies of midtropospheric horizontal temperature advection. Anomalous warm (cool) advection causes increased (decreased) mei-yu–ba...
