Creating A Stormwater Runoff Model For The City Of Oxford, Mississippi: When It Rains, Where Does That Water Go?
The city of Oxford, Mississippi (home of the University of Mississippi) has experienced, in recent years, a rapid growth of urbanization. This rapid increase creates more impervious cover, such as bridges, roads, parking lots, etc., which can cause a stress on the capacity of stream load and causes …

Droughts and flooding rains: a fine-resolution reconstruction of climatic variability in Western Victoria, Australia, over the last 1500 years.
The purpose of this study was to reconstruct climatic change of the last two millennia in western Victoria using fossil diatoms as the primary proxy. Due to their short life span and sensitivity to changing water chemistry, diatoms are ideal for reconstructing short term changes in suitable …

The influence of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans on wet and dry spells over southern Tanzania
… the rainy season occurs in two phases, the short rains (October-December) and the long rains (March - May). Over the southern and the western areas, the rainy season occurs during November - May. This study aims at identifying factors that may playa role in the rainfall variability over the …

An assessment of the onset of summer rainy season in Southern Africa - case study of Botswana
… of seasonal rainfall. Failure of seasonal rains may signal food deficits or worse. Farmers, water conservationists and government bodies responsible for food security, all have an interest in seasonal rainfall: onset, approximate dates for start of the season and probabilities for early, …

An Analysis of SeaWinds Simultaneous Wind/Rain Retrieval in Severe Weather Events
… This comparison allows validation of retrieved rains. Additionally, conditions that affect the accuracy of SeaWinds wind/rain observations are evaluated. It is shown that, when thresholded, the rains retrieved by SeaWinds give an adequate rain flag. The comparisons of SeaWinds and NEXRAD rain …

Electrical breakdown and structural characterization in synthetic resins using optical techniques
… of the Epoxy (CT200) and unsaturated polyester rains, and in conjunction with FTIR spectroscopy, the polyester resin cure reaction kinetics have been established. Polarisation microscopy with the aid of an interpretive fictive force model have enabled the RIMS to be quantified for the first …

Beta-ensembles with covariance
… Lippert, Killip-Nenciu, Forrester-Rains, and Edelman-Sutton, as well as the classical [beta] = 1, 2,4 ensembles of James, Li-Xue, and Constantine. Forrester discovered a sampler for the [beta]-Wishart ensemble around the same time, although our proof has key differences. We also …

Sorghum ratooning as an approach to manage covered kernel smut and the stem borer Chilo Partellus
… yields than cutting the stems at the on-set of rains, however cutting the stems at the onset of rains increased plant survival when the stems were dry at harvest. A decision tree was produced outlining the decisions a farmer needs to make when deciding whether or not to practice ratooning. Four …

Axisymmetric theory and the interactive, asymmetric monsoon
… in subcloud moist entropy, with the monsoon rains occurring slightly equatorward of this maximum. Starting from an axisymmetric aquaplanet framework, the model complexity is incrementally increased to include first a subtropical continent, then eddies and zonal variation in the flow, and …

Future crop suitability assessment and the integration of Orphan crops into Kenya's food systems
… to have a slight increase (20%) during the long rains, by the end of the century under RCP8.5. Along the RCP4.5 pathways, there is a greater increase in suitability for maize in counties along the coast and western Kenya. Results also project a significant suitability increase (50%) of the orphan …

Demography, Reproduction, Diet and Crop Depredation in Three Species of Rodents in Natural and Irrigated Fields in Nigeria
… starting at the same time as the onset of the rains but a month or two ahead of <em>Mastomys</em> and <em>Tatera</em>. In contrast to reproduction in the natural fields, the breeding seasons in <em>Arvicanthis</em> and <em>Mastomys</em> in the irrigated fields were continuous.</p> <p>Seeds …

Teleconnective Influences on the Strength of Post-tropical Cyclones
… hurricaneforce winds, torrential, flooding rains and storm surge that floods coastal areas. This study adds to previous climatological work by completing a case-study of Hurricane Ike (2008) and examining how teleconnections such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Madden-Julian …
