नए अध्ययन में पश्चिमी घाट पर वर्षा के पैटर्न का मानचित्रण किया गया है

पुणे: भारतीय उष्णकटिबंधीय मौसम विज्ञान संस्थान (आईआईटीएम) के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा किया गया एक अध्ययन इस बात की नई अंतर्दृष्टि प्रदान करता है कि भारतीय ग्रीष्मकालीन मानसून के दौरान पश्चिमी घाट में पूरे दिन बारिश कैसे बदलती रहती है, जिसका प्रभाव मौसम के पूर्वानुमान और जलवायु मॉडल में सुधार पर पड़ता है। टॉपशॉट – 30 जून, 2018 को ली गई इस तस्वीर में आगंतुक पश्चिमी भारतीय राज्य महाराष्ट्र में लोनावला के…

Scientists have found evidence of microplastics impacting weather.

Microplastics might be affecting our weather, making it rain differently than before, according to a recent study by researchers at Penn State University. The tiny plastic particles, found everywhere from oceans to our bodies, could also be "seeding" clouds, helping ice crystals form in the sky. The Penn State research team, whose findings were published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology: Air, conducted lab experiments to understand how microplastics influence cloud formation. They placed four types of common microplastics - low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - into water droplets and cooled them down slowly. They observed that when these microplastic particles were present, ice crystals formed at warmer temperatures than in droplets without any plastic. In other words, the microplastics made ice formation easier, even at higher temperatures than usual. These ice crystals are essential for rain, and with the help of microplastics, they’re forming more easily.

Climate change may change rainfall patterns in south India, intensify floods: Study

Image Source : PTI Climate change may change rainfall patterns in south India, intensify floods Future climate change will cause an uneven shifting of the tropical rain belt — a narrow band of heavy precipitation near the Earth’s equator — leading to increased flooding in parts of India, a new study warns. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, examined computer simulations…

Diurnal river flow variations and development planning in the tropics.: An article from: The Geographical Journal

Diurnal river flow variations and development planning in the tropics.: An article from: The Geographical Journal This digital document is an article from The Geographical Journal, published by Royal Geographical Society on November 1, 1994. The length of the article is 5470 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Digital Locker immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.From the author: Assessment of water resources availability for development planning is normally dependent on a time series of humanly-observed or automatically recorded water levels and their processing to flows using stage-discharge relationships developed from current meter gaugings. This paper examines difficulties associated with river level records in some areas in Kenya where pronounced diurnal variation in rainfall patterns occur; in such cases once or twice per day observations are inadequate for determining water resources availability for project planning. The paper is structured in the chronological order in which a problem relating to anomalous flow records was discerned, explained and then noted and acted upon in a series of independent consultancy studies between 1988 and 1993.Citation DetailsTitle: Diurnal river flow variations and development planning in the tropics.Author: A.S.
