Predictability in Wet and Dry Convective Turbulence

Extension of potential predictability of Indian summer monsoon dry and wet spells in recent decades

An understanding of the limit on potential predictability is crucial for developing appropriate tools for extended-range prediction of active/break spells of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM). The global low-frequency changes in climate modulate the annual cycle of the ISM and can influence the intrinsic predictability limit of the ISM intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs). Using 104-year (1901–2004)...

Empirical Prediction and Predictability of Dry and Wet Spells of the Indian Summer Monsoon

Prediction of the active (rainy) and break (dry) phases of the Indian summer monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (ISO’s) two to threeweeks in advance is of great importance for food production and water management of the country, but is currently unavailable. Potential predictability inherent in the quasi-periodic nature of the monsoon ISO’s is estimated from daily rainfall and circulation data ...

Comparison of Tympanoplasty Results in Dry and Wet Ears

Introduction: Tympanoplasty is the standard and well established procedure for closure of tympanic membrane perforations .This paper compares the results of tympanoplasty in terms of hearing improvement and graft incorporation in patients with chronic perforation of the tympanic membrane between two groups with and without active drainage at the time of surgery.  Materials and Methods: Sixty re...

Conditional averages in convective turbulence

Two exact results are presented for the thermal dissipation in a Rayleigh-BCnard geometry. The first result expresses the conditional dissipation at each value of 0 within the entire volume of the system in terms of the thermal flux and the PDF for 19. The second gives the conditional dissipation in a region of the cell in terms of the conditional flux into the region. These results are used to...
