Precipitation Trends Analysis in Southwest Asia during the Last Half Century

Temperature and Precipitation Trends in Canada During the 20th Century

Trends in Canadian temperature and precipitation during the 20th century are analyzed using recently updated and adjusted station data. Six elements, maximum, minimum and mean temperatures along with diurnal temperature range (DTR), precipitation totals and ratio of snowfall to total precipitation are investigated. Anomalies from the 1961–1990 reference period were first obtained at individual ...

investigation of barely grain yield improvement during the last half century across golestan province

introduction barely (hordeum vulgare) is the fourth most important cereal after wheat, corn and rice. regarding the role of breeding to increase barley grain yield a large number of studies have been done in different countries. however, a few studies have been performed across golestan province, in iran. therefore, this study was conducted to know what barley traits have changed with grain yie...

Statistical Correction of Central Southwest Asia Winter Precipitation Simulations∗

Severe drought is a notable feature of the hydrology of Central Southwest (CSW) Asia. Although studies have linked the region’s interannual precipitation variability to remote forcings that include East Asia Jet Stream variability and Western Pacific tropical convection, atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) forced by observed sea surface temperatures demonstrate little skill in simulat...

Rapid decadal convective precipitation increase over Eurasia during the last three decades of the 20th century

Convective precipitation-localized, short-lived, intense, and sometimes violent-is at the root of challenges associated with observation, simulation, and prediction of precipitation. The understanding of long-term changes in convective precipitation characteristics and their role in precipitation extremes and intensity over extratropical regions are imperative to future water resource managemen...

ANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION TRENDS DURING 2nd HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY IN AN AREA OF SARDINIA (ITALY) AT HIGH HYDROGEOLOGICAL RISK

We present an analysis of precipitation in an area of Sardinia (Italy) at high hydrogeological risk. Sardinia is an island located in the Western Mediterranean Sea. Precipitation is here a highly irregular phenomenon due to the variability of extra-tropical cyclones. The latitudinal development of the island (~200 Km) gives a climatic North-South gradient. However, the presence of high and stee...
