Monthly precipitation data are assembled to analyze the impact of global teleconnections, namely ENSO, PDO, and local sea surface temperature (SSTs) on winter rainfall across the Indian subcontinent from 1925 to 1998. Canonical correlation analysis
reveals one statistically significant vector for the precipitation occurring over the subcontinent and one for the predictor variables. The results of the study will be useful for greater efficiency in the forecasting of winter precipitation.
Comparisons of stable isotopic fractionation in winter and summer at Baishui Glacier No.1, Mt Yulong, China
Based on the data of δO 18 in surface snow, snow pits, meltwater and the glacier-fed river water at Baishui Glacier No.1, Mt Yulong, the isotopic fractionation behaviors in the typical monsoonal temperate glacier system in winter and summer were
compared. The results indicate that the isotopic fractionation degree in summer is greater than that in winter, suggesting that the snow/ice melting is more intense in summer.

and sandstone, over the summer and winter of 2001/2002. Rainfall was measured from the summer of 2001 to January 2004. Both rock types maintain relatively high rock temperatures in winter, thus chemical weathering is probably only moisture restricted during
To aid rock art conservation, rock temperatures have been monitored at different depths and acquisition rates in a painted rock shelter in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park (South Africa). Preliminary results, records of winter temperatures
floods rise with flood tides, strong south winds and drops in air pressure. They are more frequent in autumn and winter, but they occur in spring too. The article presents a complete review of sea floods from the beginning of measurements in Koper
Putting together the Winter Olympic games that took place in February 2006 in Turin and in some surrounding valleys with the thoughts inspired by the book by Werner Batzing, the A. wonders if the Games, the tunnels and other similar initiatives
This study was undertaken to assess potential differences in willow cover and channels for floodplain systems in the upper Gallatin Basin winter range, Yellowstone National Park, and to evaluate whether any differences in channels are attributable
. The processes contributing to the unique influence of lakes on permafrost are (in order of decreasing importance) : the ratio between winter and summer heat transfer coefficients, storage of accumulated summer heat beneath lake snow cover, and asymmetry of lake
-thaw erosion. Particular attention is paid to the seasonal pattern of the 3 erosional processes. Manual and automatic measurements were undertaken over 20 months including 2 winters along the River Yukawa, a small mountain stream in a Japanese volcanic
This paper focuses on meteorological conditions associated with slush flows, and their geomorphologic impact in northwest Iceland. The role of heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt during winter cyclonic activity is highlighted. The most obvious
