Hydrological models require accurate precipitation and air temperature inputs in order to adequately depict water fluxes and storages across Arctic regions. Biases such as gauge undercatch, as well as uncertainties in numerical weather prediction reanalysis data that propagate through water budget models, limit the ability to accurately model the terrestrial arctic water cycle. A hydrological m...

Nephrotic syndrome in children has been well recognized and extensively reported for several decades. Earlier descriptions of this disorder mentioned the clinical picture of the massively bloated, young child with muscle wasting and passage of scanty urine. Heavy proteinuria, decreased levels of serum proteins and hyperlipidemia were observed. An underlying etiologic condition was absent in mos...

Evaporation is a fundamental parameter in the hydrological cycle. This study examines the performance of M5model tree and artificial neural network (ANN) models in estimating potential evapotranspiration calculated byPenman- Monteith and Hargreaves- Samani equations. Daily weather data from two meteorological stations in asemi-arid climate of Iran, namely Kerman and Zahedan, were collected duri...

A brief history of development of the 1985 Hargreaves equation and its comparison to evapotranspiration ~ET! predicted by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations ~FAO! Penman-Monteith method are described to provide background and information helpful in selecting an appropriate reference ET equation under various data situations. Early efforts in irrigation water requiremen...

THISP A P E R REPORTS on only one of several aspects of the Monteith Pilot Project which has interest as an innovation in library research. Other aspects of the research will be covered in the final report to the Cooperative Research Program, which is now nearing comp1etion.l The one aspect to be discussed here, and discussed in some detail, is the analysis of the social structure in which the ...

The impact ofmodel structure andparameterization on the estimation of evaporation is investigated across a range of Penman–Monteith type models. To examine the role of model structure on flux retrievals, three different retrieval schemes are compared. The schemes include a traditional single-source Penman– Monteith model (Monteith, 1965), a two-layer model based on Shuttleworth and Wallace (198...
