Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Transport Phenomena on Pollutants Concentration in Mediterranean Tunisian RegionsKarim Bouchlaghem, Blaise Nsom, Jean-Francois DorvilleThe objective of this study is to investigate the origin of the polluted air masses in the Tunisian Mediterranean regions and to characterize the atmospheric conditions and the transport and dispersion mechanisms that give rise to pollution events. For this end, we conducted continuous measurements campaigns of surface ozone concentration and meteorological parameters during summer 2011 using mobile and fixed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 23 Jan 2014 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate Change in Jordan: A Comprehensive Examination ApproachMoshrik R. Hamdi, Mahmoud Abu-Allaban, Ammar Al-Shayeb et al.Problem statement: Jordan is experiencing harsh water shortage in different parts of the country due to high fluctuations in annual precipitation; the only source of water. In addition, heat waves are becoming more frequent in the region. Precipitation decrement and summer heat waves are being blamed on global warming. This study aimed to detect trends in weather parameters in Jordan. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 9,402 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetermination of Atmospheric Turbidity and its Correlation with Climatologically ParametersU. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanStudy of Atmospheric turbidity is important for purposes of meteorology, ecology, climatology and monitoring of atmospheric pollution. Linke Turbidity factor (LT) is commonly used to model the attenuation of solar radiation in the atmosphere. The probable dependence on the water vapor content of the relationship linking LT to Angstrom’s turbidity coefficient B, is discussed. In this study, a procedure for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite
