Nonlinear Volatility of River Flux Fluctuations [PDF]

, 2002
We study the spectral properties of the magnitudes of river flux increments, the volatility. The volatility series exhibits (i) strong seasonal periodicity and (ii) strongly power-law correlations for time scales less than one year. We test the nonlinear

Forecasting models for seasonal rainfall for different regions of Gujarat

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2010
The large spatial variability in monsoon rainfall over India demands for regional models for predicting the seasonal rainfall. Hence, models were developed for predicting seasonal (June-September) rainfall of three regions (north, middle and south) of ...

Dehydration in the tropical tropopause layer: Implications from the UARS Microwave Limb Sounder [PDF]

, 2004
Measurements of H2O from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) are used to investigate the structure of H2O in the near tropopause region and dehydration mechanisms in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL).
