Each tiny snowflake‚ from a distance‚ looks exactly the same. But up close‚ I am able to see each unique pattern these small wonders possess. They shimmer and reflect like tiny little diamonds underneath the glow of the street lamps. Floating ever so gently‚ down to the not-so-bare ground‚ a gentle breeze sends the snowflakes into a swirling dance

National Climate Centre Research Report No: 2/2006 Trends in the rainfall pattern over India P. Guhathakurta and M. Rajeevan National Climate Centre India Meteorological Department PUNE. INDIA 411005 ncc@imdpune.gov.in Abstract Monthly‚ seasonal and annual rainfall time series of 36 meteorological sub-divisions of India were constructed using a fixed but a large network of about 1476 rain-gauge stations. These rainfall series are thus temporally as well as spatially homogenous. Trend

Rainfall Future Contracts Throughout the year‚ there are different seasons that could have several impacts on many industries. To be precise‚ the elements of weather can actually impact a company and how well they do during the different seasons of the year. Rainfall is a part of our life in some areas‚ almost daily‚ and others randomly‚ affecting every business in some sort of way. Although we can’t predict or control the weather‚ there is a way companies can hedge any losses that weather could

Research Paper Trend and variability of rainfall in Tigray‚ Northern Ethiopia: Analysis of meteorological data and farmers’ perception Accepted 11th May‚ 2013 ABSTRACT Rainfall is the most important but variable climatic parameter in the semiarid tropics. In this study‚ the trend and variability of rainfall were compared with the perception of farmers in northern Ethiopia. Daily rainfall data obtained from five meteorological stations located in different agroecological zones were used

The Raven vs. The First Snowfall During the time period of Romanticism‚ many great poets emerged. Two of the best poets during this time period included Edgar Allen Poe and James Russell Lowell. Throughout these poet’s lives‚ they suffered many tragic deaths among their friends and families and decided to write about them.

Factors that Influence Rainfall in the United States A type of precipitation is rainfall and it develops when water vapor condenses into droplets in the atmosphere thus becoming too heavy to stay suspended in the air so gravity causes them to fall. The pattern or occurrence of rainfall in the United States or basically anywhere in the world depends on several factors such as ground elevation‚ wind directions‚ location within a continental mass‚ areas of low pressure‚ cool fronts‚ jet streams and

Two Rainfall-Runoff Models were earlier identified for application and for the generation of a more reliable discharge data. These are the Thornwaite Water Balance Model (WBM) and the IHACRES. The input requirement of both models differ. For the WBM‚ generation of runoff requires seven input parameters. These are the Runoff Factor (RF)‚ Direct Runoff factor (DRF)‚ Soil Moisture Storage Capacity (SMSC)‚ Latitude of location‚ Rain Temperature Threshold‚ Snow Temperature Threshold and Maximum Snow Melt
