In September of 1999, heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Floyd brought widespread flooding along the east coast of the United States from North Carolina northward through Maine. Rainfall amounts were as high as 500mm (15 inches) near Floyd's first landfall point near Wilmington, North ...
There was a shift in America's attitude towards oil at this time. President Dwight Eisenhower introduced the Mandatory Oil Import Program, placing restrictions on the amount of oil that could be imported into the United States. His reasoning was based on national security concerns and a desire ...
(relative to the control simulation) and 1.0 m s−1 K−1in the P4K simulation (relative to the AMIP simulation;Supplementary Fig. 3). This amounts to an increase of roughly 2.3–2.7% K−1(global PI weighted by TC track frequency is 43 m s−1), four times larger...
Black dots in each panel represents the region with correlation significant at the 95% confidence level (Student's t-test). However, we use an east–west-oriented SST tendency as a new predictor because the EP–ENSO develops through Bjerknes feedback18, that is, the equatorial zonal wind-...
The objective of this study was to measure the response of soil nematodes to a one-year rainfall manipulation in the sandy, forest soils of the New Jersey Pinelands (USA). We excluded all rain from four replicate field plots and applied double the amount of natural rainfall to four ...
(2014) suggest collecting plastic materials from the waterway not only cleans the urban environment but also allows for planners to examine the total amounts of waste entering the environment. There is more than one type of stormwater management. However, the most commonplace are traditional ...

Intrusive and non-intrusive CSs both result in large amounts of precipitation over the Indian subcontinent, but intrusive CSs produce much more precipitation over the SWTP than non-intrusive CSs. In particular, while orographic precipitation along the south slope of the plateau is apparent during ...
(MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values of the BME-TRMM method were the smallest. In conclusion, the BME-TRMM method improved spatiotemporal rainfall modeling and mapping by integrating hard data and soft information. Lastly, the study identified new opportunities concerning the application...
The amount of moisture in the environment surrounding the TC, rather than storm speed or intensity, exhibited the strongest correlations with rainfall totals and their spatial distribution. These results demonstrate the high variability that exists in the production of rainfall among TCs experiencing ...
