The knowledge of snow storage plays a fundamental role for many reasons. For example, in many regions of the world the majority of total annual precipitation occurs as snowfall and melting snow represents a major source of fresh water. Improved estimates of snow storage will benefit regional-scale hydrological models and general circulation models (GCMs) and will lead to better simulations of l...

The design of an optimum hydrometeorological and hydrometric station network constitutes a key factor for the collection comprehensive reliable flow data that are necessary both decision making in water resources policy management, risk assessment. This article describes methodology developed geographic information system (GIS) using multicriteria (MCDM) approach, which combines several spatial...

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is the UN system's authoritative voice on the state and behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere, its interaction with the oceans, the climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water resources. WMO has a membership of 191 countries and territories. The Global Water Partnership (GWP) is an intern...

We describe the AEMET meteorological dataset, which makes available some data sources from the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET, Spanish Meteorological Office) as Linked Data. The data selected for publication are generated every ten minutes by approximately 250 automatic weather stations deployed across Spain and made available as CSV files in the AEMET FTP server. These files are retrie...

introduction thermal infrared integrated dust index (tiidi) is one of indices that is presented in this direction. the index operates based on four brightness temperature difference including wavelengths 3.7, 8.6, 11 and 12 micrometer. according to the studies, btd (bt12-bt11) is used for cloud detection. btd (bt8.6-bt11) is the index for separation for dust from sandy surface and btd (bt3.7-bt...

The frequency of extreme meteorological events such as heat waves and rainstorms is predicted to increase with climate change. However, there is still little information about how extreme weather influences reproduction in animals. It may not only affect breeding success but might also alter offspring sex ratio if males and females are differentially sensitive to meteorological conditions durin...

Meteorological data mining is a form of data mining concerned with finding hidden patterns inside largely available meteorological data, so that the information retrieved can be transformed into usable knowledge. Weather is one of the meteorological data that is rich by important knowledge. In this paper we try to extract useful knowledge from weather daily historical data collected locally at ...
