Exploring the impact of rainfall intensity on the attenuation-rainfall relationship
The attenuation of electromagnetic waves due to rainfall is a critical factor in radar and telecommunication systems, particularly in frequency bands above 10 GHz, which is increasingly utilised for data transfer. This study addresses the gaps in understanding how these attenuation effects vary across different rainfall intensities and Drop Size ...

Does Contract Farming Improve Diet Quality? The Case of Senegalese Smallholders
ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming has gained prominence in most developing countries owing to its numerous benefits. While several studies have already highlighted the welfare benefits of contract farming, very few have investigated the effects on diet quality, despite poor quality diets being a serious challenge in most parts of the ...

Topical cyclone rainfall characteristics as determined from a satellite passive microwave radiometer [PDF]
Data from the Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR-5) were used to calculate latent heat release and other rainfall parameters for over 70 satellite observations of 21 tropical cyclones in the tropical North Pacific Ocean.

A continuous stochastic disaggregation model of rainfall for peak flow simulation in urban hydrologic systems [PDF]
In the paper by Durrans et al. (1999), an algorithm proposed by Ormsbee (1989) is recommended for the stochastic disaggregation of hourly rainfall in continuous flow simulation studies of urban hydrologic systems. However, Durrans et al. found that the

Measuring Amazon rainfall intensity with sound recorders
Ground weather observations are scarce in many parts of the globe, hampering effective climate monitoring and disaster management. In the Amazon basin, this occurs due to its remoteness and the challenging measurement of rainfall within the forest. Innovative rainfall estimation methods are thus requested to fill this gap.
