lack of fire behavior studies and the immediate needs posed by the extent of the fire problem in forests of iran require that extensive studies be conducted to develop models to predict fire behavior in the region.in this study, farsite fire area simulator was applied to simulate spread and behavior of two real fires that had occurred in northern forests of iran during 2010 summer and fall seas...

This paper focuses on the impact of extreme weather on power system outages. Extreme weather condition impacts of interest are listed, including both direct and consequential events. Their impact on power system outages are discussed, concerning both blackouts and component failure. Prospects for estimating weather condition impacts on the frequency of blackouts and on equipment and system fail...

OBJECTIVES This research was a preliminary effort to determine whether various driving situations seemed to require different driving skills and abilities and to identify the relative demands of specific physical, perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, and operational skills and abilities in different driving situations. METHOD Experienced driver evaluators and trainers estimated the magnitude of...

The job of observational meteorology is to produce knowledge of the condition of the atmosphere at a desired future time. This problem has not been solved for the scientific weather forecaster in even the most felicitous circumstances. Two gaps are especially noticeable. Firstly, the only weather stations reporting daily are on the land. On the sea, which constitutes four fifths of the earth’s ...

The study discusses the climate of Balochistan with a special focus on variation weather condition taking into account mean monthly precipitation, temperature, humidity, atmospheric circulation, air pressure, evapotranspiration and solar energy covering time duration 1931-2020 (normal data). physical barriers that bring variations in contain geographical location, ocean, geomorphology, land use...
