In this paper, we present an algorithm for the automated removal of nonprecipitation related echoes such as atmospheric anomalous propagation (AP) in the lower elevations of meteorological-radar volume scans. The motivation for the development of this technique is the need for an objective quality control algorithm that minimizes human interaction. The algorithm uses both textural and intensity...

Abstract This study investigates the use of Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission's (TRMM) rainfall data for predicting water flows and flood events in three catchments on island Java, Indonesia, namely, Ciliwung, Citarum Bengawan Solo. The Shetran model was used rainfall-runoff simulations, with input obtained from measured rain gauges (hourly daily) TRMM (3-hourly daily). daily Nash Sutcliffe...

Precipitation has been recognized as the most critical meteorological parameter in hydrological studies. Recent developments space technology provide cost-effective alternative ground-based observations to simulate process. Here, this paper aims evaluate performance of satellite-based datasets modeling a sensitive area terms water quality and safety watershed. Three precipitation products, i.e....

The incidence of spontaneous humeral fractures in first-lactation dairy heifers New Zealand has emphasised the need to understand thoracic limb bone growth heifers. Previous research indicated that a predisposing factor fracture is nutrition. In addition, it been hypothesised liver copper concentration affects strength and may be potential associated with risk. aim this study was compare morpho...

Quantitative rain rate and hydrometeor content retrievals from spaceborne remote sensing measurements in tropical cyclones over ocean and related microphysics issues are discussed in this study. An emission-based rainfall rate algorithm for the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hurricane research aircraft WP-3D is validat...

Floods have caused tremendous economic, societal and ecological losses in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) of China. To reduce the impact of these disasters, it is important to understand the variables affecting the hydrological state of the basin. In this study, we used Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data, flood potential index (FPI), precipitation data (Tropical Rainfa...

Monsoonal rainfall in the Himalaya dominates erosion and sediment transport through the fluvial system. In addition to the strong seasonal nature of the Indian summer monsoon, striking interannual variations in monsoonal strength characterize longer records. For example, during any given year, rain may penetrate further into the orogen, even though peak rainfall amounts almost always occur at t...
