Socializing the rain
Rainfall drives fishery fertility in Mweru-Luapula, thus rainfall variability contributes to frequent changes in fishing catches. Fishers and traders have adapted their institutions to this variable ecology in a variety of ways, including learning to read the fishery for productive periods and practicing multiple modes of income procurement. By accurately identifying inter-annual, inter-decadal, and longer spans of rainfall trends, future high an…
Fire management and climate variability
Diferencias hidrológicas anuales y estacionales en regiones adyacentes
Se estudiaron los factores influyentes en el comportamiento mostrado por los caudales de las subcuencas de los ríos Virilla y Grande de San Ramón, en la cuenca del rio Grande de Tarcoles, Costa Rica. A partir de un análisis estadístico de los aforos de ambas subcuencas y de una prueba de correlación, se encontró que algunos aspectos geográficos (irregularidad topográfica, presencia de pasos entre las montanas, extensión de las subcuencas, uso de …
Changing rainfall inputs in the Volta basin
On the Importance of Environmental Claims-Making
Responding to recent calls to analyze the authoritative role of scientists in producing environmental knowledge, this article conceptualizes applied scientists as “environmental claims-makers” who play an influential role in shaping how the public perceives and interacts with the environment. Analyzing the knowledge claims of scientists, particularly applied scientists, requires a consideration of both cognitive and interpretive claims-making act…
Regional Flood Frequency Analysis in Southern Ontario Using L‐moments
Respuestas del clima de América del Sur a las fases de Enso
Las fases altas de ENSO, El Niño (EN), y las fases bajas, Anti-Niño (AN), se relacionan diferentemente con los regímenes de lluvias en América del Sur. Para establecer el carácter de estas relaciones, se ha analizado la precipitación anual de estaciones típicas, considerando tres subpoblaciones: totales anuales de años EN, totales de años AN, y el resto o años “normales”. Precediendo a veranos australes con fenómenos EN, la precipitación invernal…
Regional Flood Frequency Analysis in Southern Ontario Using L‐moments
Annual flood series from unregulated rivers in southern Ontario are examined with a view to testing the efficacy of the generalized extreme value distribution to represent all flood frequency characteristics in the area. Series are characterized by their sample L‐moments, the higher orders of which are more reliable than product moments, facilitating both the selection of the appropriate probability distribution and the estimation of its necessar…
Modeling the effects of tropical cyclones on flooding in the Santa Fe river basin, Florida
Analysis and Prediction of Abnormally Cold Spells in Southern Saskatchewan
The risk of departures of daily minimum temperatures at some prescribed level below the daily average can be estimated by the use of a combined deterministic/stochastic model. From a regional perspective the coefficients and parameters of the model are point observations containing information pertaining to both regional trends and local environmental conditions. Trend surface analyses, using latitude, longitude, and elevation, provide a means of…
Interbasin Water Transfers and the Régimes of Three Northwestern Ontario Rivers
Runoff régimes of three northwestern Ontario river systems undergoing interbasin transfer of water were compared to the natural flow patterns of neighbouring rivers. Long‐term diversion effects can be identified by analysing the probability distributions of annual runoff, annual floods, and annual low flows, representing mean, maximum, and minimum flow conditions of each year, respectively. Rivers exporting water have reduced annual flow and high…
El Niño y crecidas anuales en los ríos del norte del Perú
Las crecidas máximas anuales que tienen lugar en los ríos del norte del Perú, entre latitudes 3° y 10°S, se ajustan bien a un modelo planteado por una distribución Gumbel mixta basada en tres componentes. Esos ríos muestran una gran variedad interanual de caudal y sus cambios de descarga obedecen a tres condiciones oceánico-atmosféricas: años de aguas cálidas excepcionales (“El Niño”) y de alta pluviosidad que producen crecidas catastróficas; año…
Stochastic Flood Analysis in a Region of Mixed Generating Processes
In southwestern British Columbia there exists a transition from winter rain generated floods on the west coast to spring snowmelt generated floods on the Interior Plateau. Each process gives rise to distinct flood types characterized by their magnitude, timing and frequency. The region of transition between the two single process-dominated areas displays a progressive mixture of both types. Existing stochastic floods prediction models are applied…
