In this note we continue the analysis of the pore-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in porous media proposed in [C. J. van Duijn and I. S. Pop, Crystal dissolution and precipitation in porous media: pore scale analysis, J. Reine Angew. Math. 577 (2004), 171–211]. There the existence of weak solutions was shown. We prove an L1-contraction property of the pore-scale model. As ...

Asphaltene instability is one of the major problems in gas injection projects throughout the world. Numerous models have been developed to predict asphaltene precipitation; The scaling equation is an attractive tool because of its simplicity and not involving complex properties of asphaltene. In this work, a new scaling model is presented to account  for asphaltene precipitation due to gas ...

A pilot Study was conducted from August 1999 through August 2000 to estimate the loading of selected pollutants from the atmosphere to the San Francisco Estuary. Particulate in the ambient air and precipitation samples were collected at three locations. Dry deposition flux of copper, nickel, cadmium, and chromium was approximately 1100?73, 600?35, 22?15, and 1300?90 μg/m/year, respectively. The...

The Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Core Observatory that was launched on 27 February 2014 ushered in a new era for estimating precipitation from satellites. Based on their high spatial–temporal resolution and near global coverage, satellite-based precipitation products have been applied in many research fields. The goal of this study was to quantitatively compare two of the latest GPM-era s...

Abstract This research investigates the effect of drought on ground water table of Neishabour plain. The precipitation data of Nishabour synoptic station during 1990-2001, the Bar climatology station during 1964-2001 and the data of hydrometric stations of Kherv and Bar in 1996-2001 have been used as the base of analysis. The method of Herbest et all has been used to analyze the drought. Usin...

Precipitation that falls in a watershed undergoes three hydrological processes: evapotranspiration, groundwater recharge, and river runoff. Using the long-term average stream discharge of a watershed, one can estimate the long-term average evapotranspiration portion of the precipitation by using the precipitation minus the normalized river discharge. In addition, by partitioning the stream disc...

Precipitation is the meteorological parameter affecting people in the most direct way. Forecasting the spatial and temporal distribution of rain and snow is therefore one of the major challenges for the meteorological services. Satellite remote sensing of precipitation could help to improve these forecasts. The most direct method to retrieve precipitation from spaceborne measurements is based o...
