Precipitations

Last week, two high-profile studies on the detection and attribution of extreme precipitations events were published in the journal Nature, again bringing the issue of extreme weather events and climate change to the forefront. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Hydroelectric power was down in the first quarter, which is extremely rare, due to the lack of snow and precipitations, the EDF spokeswoman noted. ❋ Geraldine Amiel (2011)

But further north, this is where we're looking at the bulk of the precipitations, the Tennessee River valley. ❋ Unknown (2009)

MCCAIN: People like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, don't need their precipitations underwritten by taxpayers. ❋ Unknown (2008)

And as we make our way back up into parts of the northern plains, into, say, Grand Forks, just southward into Fargo, you're seeing a lot of that precipitations switching over into -- from the blue to pink and the white, which indicates freezing rain and, of course, that snowfall. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Although climatological data are scarce, mean annual precipitations vary from north to south, from approximately 200 to 600 millimeters (mm), rising with elevation. ❋ Unknown (2007)

He found years ago a relationship between the 80-year solar cycle and precipitations in Central Europe (published in 1953) based on the meteo observations from Prague Klementinum (since 1784). ❋ Unknown (2007)

Shortly before his death he said that he expected Sun entering a long period of low activity now and therefore maximum precipitations occurring around 2025. ❋ Unknown (2007)

He found that the more solar activity, the less precipitations there was. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There is a study, to be publish in Nature in a few days, that compares observed precipitations with computer model. ❋ Unknown (2007)

One consistency analysis for precipitation is the so-called “double mass curve analysis” where the cumulative annual precipitations at a station are plotted against those of another station or the average of more than one station whose data are deemed to be homogeneous. ❋ Unknown (2007)

They need both precipitations and cold, but in different degrees with latitudes. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There are four climatic zones in Western Africa: Sahelian (rainy season does not exceed three months; irregular rainfall not exceeding 500 mm); Sudanian (precipitations between less than 88 mm in the north of Nigeria and 1,000 mm in the north of Mali); tropical humid (annual mean rainfall approximately 1,500 mm); and equatorial (essentially localized along the Gulf of Guinea, with annual rainfall above 2,000 mm). ❋ Unknown (2007)

Heavy precipitations can cause landslides both at the bottom of valleys and on slopes. ❋ Unknown (1993)

In desert areas, the so-called wadis (dry valleys and rivers) can be very dangerous places because of their bad drainage and sudden inundation in case of heavy precipitations. ❋ Unknown (1993)

The yearly turnus of precipitation in the alternating dry and humid tropics characterised by a marked dry and wet season, causes huge fluctuations in the water level: special characteristics of the mesoclimatic specifications in high mountain regions and local precipitations in the catchment area may cause an extreme rise of the river's water level within a short time. ❋ Unknown (1993)

Traditional structures and materials may not be suitable in hazardous conditions such as earthquakes, floods and heavy precipitations. ❋ Unknown (1993)

If possible, the rain gauge should be installed in a place where it is possible to record precipitations which are more or less representative of a certain part of the catchment area. ❋ Unknown (1989)
