There are two reasons why tropical weather is different from that at higher latitudes. The sun shines more directly on the tropics than on higher latitudes (at least in the average over a year). This makes the tropics warm. And, the vertical direction (up, as one stands on the earth’s surface) is perpendicular to the earth’s axis of rotation at the equator, while the two are the same at the pol...

in order to recognize isfahan weather types, in this research 22 variables including temperature, precipitation, atmospheric humidity and wind were studied in isfahan synoptic station from dey,11th,1339(january,1st,1960) to dey,11th,1383 (december,31st,2004). a cluster analysis on the euclidean distance of standardized matrix of data and linking days on the basis of ward method showed that isfa...

The paper describes an algorithm for constructing convective weather avoidance polygons. The algorithm combines weather avoidance fields (WAF) from the en route convective weather avoidance model (CWAM) with edges automatically detected in the echo tops field, clustering, convex hull fitting and wind data to build weather avoidance polygons. Results for 2 case days with significantly different ...

Arctic weather in spring is unpredictable and can also be extreme, so Arctic-breeding birds must be flexible in their breeding to deal with such variability. Unpredictability in weather conditions will only intensify with climate change and this in turn could affect reproductive capability of migratory birds. Adjustments to coping strategies are therefore crucial, so here we examined the plasti...

Cloud seeding activities have been carried out in the form of experiments and operation as part water resource management some parts world. Recently, a new method cloud using ground-based generator (GBG) was introduced Indonesia. This is used to seed orographic clouds with aid 50 m GBG tower located mountainous area. By taking advantage topography local circulation, will introduce hygroscopic m...

This project analyzed the effectiveness of a city-wide wireless weather sensor network, the Taipei Weather Science Learning Network (TWIN), in facilitating elementary and junior high students’ study of weather science. The network, composed of sixty school-based weather sensor nodes and a centralized weather data archive server, provides students with current weather data at specific locations ...

George Mason University’s hydroponic greenhouse and the Patriot Green Fund requested an irrigation data logging system to track how weather conditions affect frequency at which plants need be watered. A prototype was created tested in greenhouse. The initial found have significant issues brought back lab for modification. Upon testing lab, it that sensors had multiple issues; further is require...

Weather prediction is a real time challenging issue witnessed by the world in the last decade. The prediction is becoming more complex due to the ever changing weather conditions. Many models have been discussed for predicting the weather data assuming the related attributes as independent variables. For effective analysis of the weather, it is necessary to understand various influencing factor...
