Tropical Continents Rainier Than Expected From Geometrical Constraints
Abundant rainfall over tropical land masses sustains rich ecosystems, a crucial source of biodiversity and sink of carbon. Here, we use two characteristics of the observed tropical precipitation distribution, its distinctive zonal arrangement and its ...

Nearly all the current winter wheat–soybean cropping systems occurring in the southeastern United States (SE) region are rainfed, as such, precipitation (P) underpins energy partitioning. We investigated, using the eddy covariance technique, the seasonal

Multi-decadal trends in global terrestrial evapotranspiration and its components [PDF]
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the process by which liquid water becomes water vapor and energetically this accounts for much of incoming solar radiation. If this ET did not occur temperatures would be higher, so understanding ET trends is crucial to predict

The role of silicon in carbon partitioning processes in martensite/austenite microstructures
Understanding carbon redistribution in steels is crucial in developing advanced high strength steels. For instance, Quenching & Partitioning (Q&P) processes rely on the partitioning of carbon from martensite into austenite, where at the end of the heat ...

Plant water resource partitioning and isotopic fractionation during transpiration in a seasonally dry tropical climate [PDF]
Lake Chala (3 degrees 19' S, 37 degrees 42' E) is a steep-sided crater lake situated in equatorial East Africa, a tropical semiarid area with a bimodal rainfall pattern. Plants in this region are exposed to a prolonged dry season, and we investigated if (

The Effect of Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) Process on the Structural and Mechanical Properties of AISI 4130 Steel [PDF]
In this study, the effect of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment on the structural and mechanical properties of AISI 4130 steel was investigated.

Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes? [PDF]
One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular plant species in a region of north-

Modeling of Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Processes: Sensitivity to Partitioning Methods [PDF]
Abstract Six different convective–stratiform separation techniques are compared and evaluated using 2D numerical simulations of a tropical and a midlatitude continental squall line. The techniques used include a texture algorithm applied to surface rainfall, a similar algorithm but with additional criteria applied to vertical velocity and cloud, a ...

The first contact between precipitation and the land surface is often a plant canopy. The resulting precipitation partitioning by vegetation returns water back to the atmosphere (evaporation of intercepted precipitation) and redistributes water to the ...

Mg/Ca ratios in freshwater microbial carbonates: Thermodynamic, kinetic and vital effects [PDF]
The ratio of magnesium to calcium (Mg/Ca) in carbonate minerals in an abiotic setting is conventionally assumed to be predominantly controlled by (Mg/Ca)solution and a temperature dependant partition coefficient. This temperature dependence suggests that
