Abstract Achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is contingent on understanding potential interactions among human and natural systems. In Kenya, goal conserving expanding forest cover to achieve SDG 15 “Life Land” may be related other SDGs because it plays a role in regulating some aspects Kenyan precipitation. We present 40-yr analysis sources precipitation Keny...

[1] Atmospheric moisture content is expected to rise in response to global warming, but climate models predict a much slower rate of precipitation increase. This muted response of the hydrological cycle is investigated from a surface evaporation perspective, using a multimodel ensemble of simulations under the A1B forcing scenario. A 90-year analysis of surface evaporation based on a standard b...

The boundary that separates the earth from the atmosphere is a crucial zone of study for meteorology and hydrology. Here, solar energy is partitioned into sensible heat which drives atmospheric circulation, latent heat needed for evaporation from the soil and transpiration of vegetation, and soil heat which warms the subsurface. Precipitation is partitioned into interception that evaporates dir...

The performance of single-channel, two-channel, and cal variables that play an important part in agricultural six-channel microwave radiometers is evaluated for the scheduling and water resource management (Jackson, retrieval of soil moisture using parameterized numerical 1993). Recent studies have shown the effects of soil simulations. Commonly used frequencies of 1.4 GHz, 2.7 moisture on the ...

introduction water vapor can spread in molecular, unstable and erratic phase and can also transfer by convection and advection process. this transfer happens from the earth and ocean surfaces to the atmosphere in hot air. this type of transfer is considered as the main pattern. in the studies of the atmosphere, one of the prominent factors to be considered is the complexity of water vapor and i...
