The existing French Application Radar a la M et eorologie Infrasynoptique (ARAMIS) operational radar network covers a vast majority of the country of France, yet likemany national networks, gaps in coverage are present in regions of mountainous and high terrain. Many of these areas are prone to extreme, orographyinduced precipitation events, and therefore expansion of national radar networks in...

background: detecting bence-jones protein in urine is essential for determining plasma cell dyscrasia and multiple myeloma. conventionally, acid-heat precipitation assay is used for detecting bence-jones protein in most medical laboratories; however, because of the low accuracy of this test, other more sensitive tests like urine electrophoresis are recommended.  materials and methods: in this s...

Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP–NCAR) reanalysis data are used to indicate mechanisms responsible for extreme summer convection over South America. The threedimensional reflectivity field is analyzed to define three types of extreme echo, deep convective cores, wi...

The diurnal cycle of the North American monsoon is analyzed based on the output from a mesoscale model simulation. Statistically significant diurnal cycle in precipitation is identified, with heavy precipitation—essentially convective—dominating in local afternoons. Temporal evolution of key parameters in relation to precipitation is investigated, based on which a sequence of the dynamic/thermo...

The distribution of cloud and precipitation properties across oceanic extratropical cyclone cold fronts is examined using four years of combinedCloudSat radar andCALIPSO lidar retrievals. The global annual mean cloud and precipitation distributions show that low-level clouds are ubiquitous in the postfrontal zone while higher-level cloud frequency and precipitation peak in the warm sector along...

Satellite orographic precipitation estimates exhibit large errors with space-time structure tied to landform. Observations in the Southern Appalachian Mountains (SAM) suggest that low-level clouds and fog (LLCF) amplify mid-day rainfall via seeder-feeder interactions (SFI) at both high and low elevations. Here, a rainfall microphysics model constrained by fog observations was used first to reve...

introduction long-term annual extreme climate events, especially temperature and precipitation, have generally been used as indicators for the assessment of climate change. one of the most changeable climatic variables in time and space is precipitation. there are great number of research papers focusing on extreme precipitation on global, regional and national scales have been written. the res...

nowadays, undoubted access to up to date with high spatial resolution and low temporal resolution of meteorological parameters is a one of the necessary needs for meteorological science researches. in order to doing this research have been used the different daily, monthly and yearly iran precipitation from global and regional data base of gpcpøŒ gpccøŒ aphrodit v101 0.25øŒ aphrodit v101 0.5 ùˆ...
