Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Climate Change Upon Winter RainfallNuman Shehadeh, Sabah AnanbehClimatic models that project the impact of climate change upon rainfall in the Eastern Mediterranean region predict that the negative impact will be more pronounced upon winter rainfall rather than Fall or Spring rainfall where instability conditions become more pronounced. Those models, also, predict that, due to the great geographical diversity, projected rainfall trends in the above region will show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Flow Conditions and Dynamic State Analysis of Pahang RiverMuhamad Barzani Gasim, M. E. Toriman, Mushrifah Idris et al.Pahang River (Sg. Pahang) is the longest river in Peninsular Malaysia. Flood is a common event in Pahang River Basin during wet season which triggered by monsoon season. The hydrodynamic study of Pahang River should be well understood especially when it is a target of northeast monsoon which influenced the Pahang River Basin every year (from November to March). 17 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDaily distribution Map of Ozone (O3) from AIRS over Southeast AsiaJasim M. Rajab, M.Z. MatJafri, H.S. Lim, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Daily retrieved Ozone (O3) column data for 12 day for periods varying (11-18 August) 2005 and 2003 and (12-19 February) 2005, obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder AIRS, are utilized to investigate the ozone distribution over the Southeast Asia. Approach: AIRS included on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua satellite launched on 4 May 2002. Ozone (O3) is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime Series Analysis of Rainfall and Temperature Interactions in Coastal CatchmentsGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeProblem statement: As a result of climate change more work is now being done on climate indices such as SOI, rainfall, temperature and so on. The research concerning rainfall and temperature variations in coastal tropical and subtropical catchments as noted by the dated references in this study shows a lack of attention. The authors examined long term data from coastal … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 15,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensitivity of Fish Landings to Some Meteorological Parameters: A Case StudyMadihah Jafar-Sidik, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: A widely held belief that climate change has impacts on sustainable fish catch leads us to find out how these effects influence fish landings in Sabah, Malaysia, especially for the west and east coasts, based upon monsoonal periods. Correlation of fish landings with rainfall suggests that local fish landing is believed to be sensitive to the effects of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrend Analysis of Precipitation, Groundwater Level and Flow Rate Data by using Mann-Kendall and Sen's Slope Estimator Statistical Tests in the Petorca CommunerHéctor L. Venegas-Quiñones, Mark Thomasson, Pablo A. Garcia-ChevesichThis article analyses one of the most complex socio-environmental conflicts in Chile: The Petorca water crisis. Petorca has been experiencing a shortage of water for several years. The cause of these variations has not yet been completely analyzed and the problem has remained unchanged. This paper evaluates hydrology variables to identify, quantify and demonstrate the cause of water shortages in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 10 Jan 2020 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Air Quality with Potential Linkage to the Metrological Conditions in Three Major Cities of PakistanNaima Hamid, Muhammad Junaid, Syeda Maria Ali et al.Environmental pollution being fatal for all living organisms is growing adversely due to excessive industrialization and urbanization. Vehicular emissions have aggravated the situation and pose detrimental effects on human health. In this study, the trend of ambient air quality was analyzed in the three metropolitan cities of Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad for a period of three years (2008-2010). … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 11 Mar 2019 · 8,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObserved Abrupt Changes in Minimum and Maximum Temperatures in Jordan in the 20th CenturyMahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines changes in annual and seasonal mean (minimum and maximum) temperatures variations in Jordan during the 20th century. The analyses focus on the time series records at the Amman Airport Meteorological (AAM) station. The occurrence of abrupt changes and trends were examined using cumulative sum charts (CUSUM) and bootstrapping and the Mann-Kendall rank test. Statistically significant abrupt changes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRain Events Detection using Energy Variation of Commercial Microwave Links AttenuationWend Yam Serge Boris Ouedraogo, Moumouni Djibo, Ali Doumounia et al.In this study, we propose a new method for detecting wet periods by using telecommunications Commercial Microwave Links (CML). The purpose of the study is to automatically find rain time slots. The attenuation of the microwave signal, propagating between a transmitting antenna and a receiving one, due to the variations of the climatic conditions over the link, is a non-stationary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Aug 2022 · 6,287 accessesView PDFCite
