Sources of glacial moisture in Mesoamerica

Quaternary International, 1997
Paleoclimatic records from Mesoamerica document the interplay between Atlantic and Pacific sources of precipitation during the last glacial stage and Holocene. Today, and throughout much of the Holocene, the entire region receives its principal moisture in the summer from an interaction of easterly trade winds with the equatorial calms. Glacial records

Moisture sources for precipitation in Southwest China in summer and the changes during the extreme droughts of 2006 and 2011

, 2020
Two record-breaking summer droughts hit Southwest China (SWC) in 2006 and 2011, causing severe losses to the society and economy. Moisture sources for precipitation in SWC and changes accompanied with the extreme droughts are thus investigated using a ...

Moisture sources of extreme precipitation events in arid Central Asia and their relationship with atmospheric circulation

International Journal of Climatology, 2020
Although moisture is an important factor affecting precipitation in arid Central Asia (ACA), the water vapour sources and their influencing factors are unclear.

Comparison of Eulerian and Lagrangian moisture source diagnostics

2014
Abstract. Moisture convergence from different sources is an important prerequisite for a heavy-precipitation event. The contributions from different source regions can, however, hardly be quantified from observations, and their assessment based on model results is complex.

Lagrangian simulations of moisture sources for Chinese Xinjiang precipitation during 1979–2018

International Journal of Climatology, 2020
In this study, the Flexible Particle Dispersion Model (FLEXPART) is employed to simulate the trajectories of global air parcels from March 1979 to February 2018 to analyse the moisture sources of precipitation over Xinjiang in China.

Isotopic Disentanglement of Moisture Sources

2021
Application of stable isotopes in the fingerprinting of moisture sources has its perks and falls. While we can establish with some degree of accuracy the process and provenance of a moisture parcel, our assumptions largely rely on the Rayleigh distillation model and the isotopic end-member parametrization of different phases of water.

Tracking Moisture Sources of Precipitation over Central Asia: A Study Based on the Water-Source-Tagging Method

, 2020
Central Asia is a semiarid to arid region that is sensitive to hydrological changes. We use the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5 (CAM5), equipped with a water-tagging capability, to investigate the major moisture sources for climatological ...

Measurements of moisture production caused by various sources

Energy and Buildings, 2016
Abstract To accurately predict indoor air moisture levels, the input data that includes the moisture production must be determined with high accuracy. The existing researches provide data about the estimated moisture generation rate by household activities but the data vary largely between the publications.

Impacts of moisture sources on the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of monsoon precipitation isotopic altitude effects

, 2020
Moisture sources affect the temporal variations of the elevation effects on the stable isotopes in monsoon precipitation. However, whether it will lead to spatial variations and form a specific spatial-temporal heterogeneity pattern remains to be ...
