Tracking Moisture Sources of Precipitation Over China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2023
AbstractMoisture of precipitation originates from terrestrial and oceanic evaporation through atmospheric transport. Understanding the contributions from different moisture sources to precipitation is essential for the hydrologic study. China is the world's third largest country in terms of land area and has contributed 25% of the global net increase ...

Lagrangian tracing of Sahelian Sudan moisture sources

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2015
AbstractThe Sahelian Sudan is an arid to semiarid region that depends on the seasonal rainfall as the main source of water, but its rainfall has large interannual variability. Such dry regions usually have their main moisture sources elsewhere; thus, the rainfall variability is directly related to the moisture transport.

Atmospheric moisture: a potential source of energy

Renewable Energy, 1993
Abstract A rigorous theoretical analysis is presented to show that moisture extraction from air is possible using a nonuniform electric field. If the atmospheric moisture is extracted and accumulated in an extraction chamber, the humidity will gradually increase.

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

Blind source separation for soil moisture data

2021
Spatial Blind Source Separation (SBSS) is a recent extension of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for spatial data. Standard ICA ignores the spatial dependency structure of spatial data, while SBSS uses this information. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the SBSS method in a new field of application. In cooperation with the Institute of Geodesy

Sources of moisture for rainfall in West Africa

Water Resources Research, 1996
The objective of this study is to identify the sources of moisture for rainfall in west Africa. A model of precipitation recycling is developed and applied to the region of west Africa to obtain quantitative estimates of the moisture contributed by local evaporation as well as the moisture contributed by the zonal and meridional fluxes from the ...

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.
