road accident severity may be influenced by a number of various systematic causal factors. the weather and road accidents have a close relationship with each other and a number of methods have been proposed for measuring the risk of a road accident with rainy, foggy, and snowy weather and high winds. recent studies indicate that road collision rates increase during precipitation. the weather wa...

Road traffic safety is the result of a complex interaction of factors, and causes behind road vehicle crashes require different measures to reduce their impacts. This study assesses how strongly the variation in daily winter crash rates associates with weather conditions in Finland. This is done by illustrating trends and spatiotemporal variation in the crash rates, by showing how a GIS applica...

performance of chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) was evaluated on twelve transplanting dates that were arranged at 30 days interval; during 2013-2014 on experimental field of wondo genet agricultural research center; using rcbd design with three replications. transplanting time exerted a very highly significant (p<0.0001) influence on plant height, flower yield and essential oil yield; essen...

weather circulation patterns play a main role in the occurrence of environmental phenomena especially in middle latitude. occurrence of dry and wet spells is in relation to synoptical system repetitions and types of weather. in this research first by using of standard precipitation index (spi), extensive droughts in the province were identified. then by using principal component analysis (pca) ...

A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...
