A Comparative Study of the Magnitude, Frequency and Distribution of Intense Rainfall in the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
During the 1960s, a study was made of the magnitude, frequency and distribution of intense rainfall over the UK, employing data from more than 120 daily-read rain gauges covering the period 1911 to 1960.

Global Nitrogen Deposition Promotes Carbon Sink Formation in Terrestrial Ecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nitrogen deposition alleviates ecosystem N limitation and enhances carbon sinks. Using 829 observations, we show 36% of deposited N is retained globally (39.15 Tg N yr−1), with distinct NHx and NOy contributions. This retention drives a terrestrial C sink of 0.88 Pg C yr−1 (25.48%), highlighting the importance of pool‐specific C:N stoichiometry ...

Network design for heavy rainfall analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2013
The analysis of heavy rainfall distributional properties is a complex object of study in hydrology and climatology, and it is essential for impact studies. In this paper, we investigate the question of how to optimize the spatial design of a network of existing weather stations. Our main criterion for such an inquiry is the capability of the network to

Spatial--temporal mesoscale modeling of rainfall intensity using gage and radar data

open access: yes, 2009
Gridded estimated rainfall intensity values at very high spatial and temporal resolution levels are needed as main inputs for weather prediction models to obtain accurate precipitation forecasts, and to verify the performance of precipitation forecast ...

Increasing heavy rainfall events in south India due to changing land use and land cover

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020
Through an analysis of land use and land cover (LULC) data for the years 2005 and 2017 from the Advanced Wide Field Sensor onboard the Indian Remote Sensing satellite, we find considerable changes in the LULC in three major states of south India, namely,

Transparent Photothermal Slippery Surface Based on Monolayer Self‐Assembled MXene Film for Anti‐Fogging and De‐Icing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultrathin (2.5 nm) MXene film self‐assembled at liquid interfaces breaks the trade‐off between transparency (82.5 %) and photothermal conversion effect (DT∼25.1°C ± 2.9 °C) under 100 mW cm−2. After encapsulated by a slippery surface with low adhesion, this transparent film can be applied in smart windows, eyewear, and optical sensors to autonomous ...

Improved simulation of very heavy rainfall events by incorporating WUDAPT urban land use/land cover in WRF

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2020
A World Urban Data Analysis and Portal Tool (WUDAPT) based Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification and mapping is done for Mumbai, India. Prior WUDAPT-based urban studies have primarily focused on urban heat island (UHI) assessment, and this is the first
