Synoptic weather types : an index of evaporation in southern Louisiana
  • Synoptic weather types : an index of evaporation in southern Louisiana
  • Climatologie synoptique ; Etats-Unis ; Evaporation ; Géographie physique ; Indice climatique ; Louisiana ; Type de temps
  • Synoptic weather types have been found to be useful tools in the study of various environmental processes. One viable use of synoptic weather types is the determination of regional estimates of evaporation. In southern Louisiana, rates of mean daily
  • pan evaporation by synoptic weather types are useful as an index of evaporation, based on the frequency of weather type occurrence.

Weathering in the Wyborg rapakivi area, south-eastern Finland
  • Weathering in the Wyborg rapakivi area, south-eastern Finland
  • the weathering to be of preglacial origin. The rapakivi saprolites are of grus type. The weathering has caused both mechanical and chemical alteration of the parent rock. The residual topography comprises small tor-like features.
  • Field survey of weathering sites in the Wyborg rapakivi area indicates that saprolites are far more common in the central part of the massif than in the marginal areas. Many till-covered saprolites and parautochthonous crust-tills prove
A synoptic weather type analysis of january hourly precipitation at Lake Charles, Louisiana

  • Each measurable hourly precipitation event during january at Lake Charles, over the 1951-80 period has been classified by associated synoptic weather type. Using Muller's synoptic classification, four types were found to produce rainfall over
  • the study period. The frontal-related weather types increased dramatically during the colder months, and also increased in association with El Nino events and related cyclogenesis in the western Gulf of Mexico.

  • In this paper, sky view and weather controls on nocturnal surface moisture deposition are explored using data collected in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, during the summers of 1993 and 1996. The study focuses on residential (suburban) areas
  • : residential lawns and grassed parks. Moisture accumulation at open sites was strongly controlled by weather conditions. Correlation was seen between moisture accumulation and wind and cloud conditions expressed as the semi-empirical weather factor.

Ecological perspectives on rock surface weathering: towards a conceptuual model

  • Biogenic process ; Concept ; Ecology ; Lichen ; Lithology ; Micro-organism ; Model ; Weathering
  • A wide range of information is now available on the ecology of rock surface microorganisms and lichens and their role in weathering in particular locations. External environmental conditions as well as rock characteristics determine the type of rock
  • surface community, and thus the style of biological weathering. A simple, preliminary conceptual model can be drawn, which relates biological weathering activity to an environmental stress gradient and which is applicable at a range of scales.
The characteristics and significance of deep weathering in the Gaick area, Grampian Highlands, Scotland
  • The characteristics and significance of deep weathering in the Gaick area, Grampian Highlands, Scotland
  • The Gaick area is a landscape of selective linear glacial erosion. Deep weathering of Moine psammites occurs on preglacial slopes but is absent from glacially-overdeepened valleys. The weathering is of gruss type and its thickness, together
  • with the importance of halloysite in the clay fraction, indicates that the weathering predates the middle Quaternary ice sheet glaciations. The weathering demonstrates very limited erosion of the preglacial slopes and owes its preservation in part to the development
