The South Indian Convergence Zone and relationship with rainfall variability in Mozambique
… Cluster analysis applied to gridded outgoing long-wave radiation data, were used to identify convective activity related to the tropical temperate troughs that collectively form the SICZ. Intraseasonal and inter-annual variability of these systems and their contribution to the anomalies of …

Impacts of Congo Convection on Tropical Africa's circulation, rainfall and resources
… basin is estimated using satellite OLR (Outgoing Long Wave Radiation) as an index. It is then related to the regional and global circulation. OLR indices for the Congo area 15°-30°E, 10°S-5°N are evaluated for JAS and MAM seasons and associated circulation regimes are considered. Seasonal OLR over …

Modeling land surface processes of the midwestern United States : predicting soil moisture under a warmer climate
… and an overestimation of incident surface shortwave radiation, net long wave radiation, and total runoff. In addition, an agricultural plant functional type was added to RegCM3-IBIS to better represent the current vegetation cover of the midwestern United States. The sensitivity of latent heat …

Physical mechanisms controlling self-aggregation of convection in idealized numerical modeling simulations
… in a non-rotating framework, with interactive radiation and surface fluxes and fixed sea surface temperature. Self-aggregation only occurs at sea surface temperatures above a certain threshold. As the system evolves to an aggregated state, there are large changes to domain averaged quantities …

An evaluation of lake and river levels as indicators of climate variability in tropical Southern Africa
… the season for sea surface temperature, outgoing long-wave radiation, wind, pressure, and circulation derivatives in the area 50S to 10N and 30W to 100E. The mean annual cycle oflake levels contains a peak in April-May and low point in November-December. The inflow index ( Maximum - Minimum) is …

Biological growth on rendered façades
… has a low heat capacity and during night the long-wave radiation from the material to the sky can contribute to a lower temperature on the surface than the temperature in the air -on clear nights, when the heat loses through long-wave radiation is high. The lowered surface temperature then …

Drought in Southern Africa: structure, characteristics and impacts
… over southern Africa. While rainfall, outgoing long wave radiation and soil moisture composite anomalies is greatest over Zimbabwe, potential evapotranspiration, air temperature and vegetation anomalies maximize over the western Limpopo valley. The droughts identified in this study are among the …

A new approach to modelling process and building energy flows in manufacturing industry.
… of a material in relation to its stored energy, long wave radiation between the material and its surroundings, and convective heat transfer. To validate the use of the IBPT algorithms to model building physics, the results derived by using the IBPT are compared with those derived by using an …
