a watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. precipitation is the most important input for watershed modeling. precipitation characteristics usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. therefore, properly describing the spatial variation o...

abstract in this study, trends of threshold heavy precipitation were examined on the basis of measurements of 1437 stations (included synoptic, climatic and rain gage stations) in iran for the period of 40 years (1964-2003). for this purpose, the statistical method of nonparametric mann-kendall test is used for analyzinging the thresholds of heavy precipitation and nonparametric sen method for ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between precipitation at the seasonal and annual scale and water discharge per surface area for seven contiguous firstand second-order tributaries of the Rhode River, a small tidal tributary to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA. The goal was to quantify the effects of a wide range of precipitation, representative of interannual variations...

with respect to wide distribution of a. sieberi besser in iran, various studies have been done on its habitats and different ecological properties have been referred as effective factors in establishment of this species. in this research, we tried to study the ecological range of a. sieberi and its relationship with vegetative characteristics. therefore, climate properties including annual prec...

This paper analyzes the spatial dependence of annual diurnal temperature range (DTR) trends from 1950– 2004 on the annual climatology of three variables: precipitation, cloud cover, and leaf area index (LAI), by classifying the global land into various climatic regions based on the climatological annual precipitation. The regional average trends for annual minimum temperature (Tmin) and DTR exh...
