Past attempts to assimilate precipitation by nudging or variational methods have succeeded 1 in forcing the model precipitation to be close to the observed values. However, the model 2 forecasts tend to lose their additional skill after few forecast hours. In this study, a local 3 ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) is used to effectively assimilate precipitation by 4 allowing ensemble mem...

Struvite precipitation proved to be an effective method of ammonia removal from the landfill leachate from two separate sources. Batch tests for precipitating struvite yielded several different chemical combinations that were effective at removing ammonia from leachate. The struvite precipitate samples were quite heterogeneous in composition, containing a mixture of short and thick crystals, el...

Hydrologic and ecologic studies in mountainous terrain are sensitive to the temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation. In this study a geostatistical model, Auto-Searched Orographic and Atmospheric Effects Detrended Kriging (ASOADeK), is introduced to map mountain precipitation using only precipitation gauge data. The ASOADeK model considers both precipitation spatial covariance and or...

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. using ...

[1] We examined the relationships between large wood (LW) export and precipitation patterns and intensity by analyzing the data on the annual volume of LW removed from 42 reservoirs and the daily precipitation at or near the reservoir sites. We also calculated the effective precipitation by considering the antecedent precipitation. Both daily and effective precipitation data were used as explan...

prediction of precipitation is very important. regarding to the non- linear relationships and uncertainty of models, there is no superior and persuasive model among various proposed models to simulate precise precipitation and its amount. wavelet is one of the novel and very effective methods in time series and signals analyzing, that has been considered in the field of hydrology in recent year...
