unusual facts about precipitation


Precipitation

Thermal infrared (IR) sensors record a channel around 11 micron wavelength and primarily give information about cloud tops.


Abaucán

It begins in the north of the Tinogasta Department of Catamarca Province, at the confluence of several rivers created by the melting of snow and precipitation in the high Andean peaks, such as the volcano Nevado Incahuasi (6,638 meters), Cerro El Muerto (6,488 metres) and Cerro Negro of Laguna Verde (5,764 metres), which dominates in addition the basin of Salina of Laguna Verde.

Carbonatation

DDS (Det Danske Sukkerfabrik - "The Danish Sugarfactory") -- multistage process involving pre-liming where the pH of the juice is gradually increased to start precipitation of proteins, followed by addition of further lime and gas.

Catchment area

Drainage basin, an extent of land where water from precipitation drains into a body of water

Celtic broadleaf forests

The climate of the forest is Oceanic climate this means temperature extremes are rare, frequent precipitation, high precipitation days, high moisture and low sunshine levels.

Climate change in South Korea

Seoul, South Korea has 227 years of precipitation records Cheugugi, which is the longest continual instrumental rainfall collection in the world.

Diammonium phosphate

DAP is also used as a yeast nutrient in winemaking and brewing mead; as an additive in some brands of cigarettes purportedly as a nicotine enhancer; to prevent afterglow in matches, in purifying sugar; as a Flux for soldering tin, copper, zinc and brass; and to control precipitation of alkali-soluble and acid-insoluble colloidal dyes on wool.

Earthquake weather

Earthquakes originate miles underground, while wind, precipitation, temperature, and barometric pressure changes affect only the surface and shallow subsurface of the Earth.

Fall streaks

Virga, a visual appearance of precipitation which doesn't reach the ground

Frank Kasper phases

While addition of refractory elements like W, Mo or Re to FK phases helps to enhance the thermal properties in such alloys as steels or nickel-based super alloys, it increases the risk of unwanted precipitation in intermetallic compounds.

Henri Grissino-Mayer

His dissertation research was conducted at El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico where he reconstructed precipitation and wildfire activity for the last 2,000 years.

Ingerophrynus gollum

It has only been recorded from Endau-Rompin National Park, Johor, in closed-canopy lowland forests in the early evening following brief periods of afternoon precipitation.

Integrated urban water management in Medellín, Colombia

Consistent and adequate precipitation in the surrounding basins usually ensures that nearby water basins feeding the Aburrá Medellín River basin and subsequently the MAM can store approximately 178 BCM of water for the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley.

Jizera Mountains

On 30 July 1897, the measuring station at Nová Louka recorded a daily precipitation amounting to 345.1 mm (13.6 inches), still an unbroken European record.

Mawsynram

Oxford geographer Nick Middleton's book on people who live in extreme climates, Going to Extremes (ISBN 0-330-49384-1), chronicles his visit to the village, and describes how the inhabitants cope with such extreme precipitation.

Nephanalysis

A nephanalaysis is the analysis of a synoptic chart focusing on the types and amount of clouds and precipitation.

Nevelsk

Nevelsk has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with cold winters, warm summers and generally heavy precipitation from the Aleutian Low, whose winds hit the town direct from the Sea of Japan.

Nikolayevsk-on-Amur

Precipitation is not as low in the winter as over most of Siberia since the coast in on the fringe of influence from the Aleutian Low.

Olga Zolina

2009-2012 – “Spatial and Temporal Scales and Mechanisms of Extreme Precipitation Events over Central Europe (STAMMEX)”, granted by German Research Foundation (DFG) (PN 50160119), principal investigator.

Piero Giorgio Bordoni

In the 1980s he turned to the study of the interaction of dislocations with interstitial hydrogen, acting as a mobile point defect, and hence on reliable methods for electrolytically introducing H in the samples, controlling the occurrence of hydride precipitation.

Shangluo

As with the other two anchoring cities of Shannan, Shangluo has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa), with cool winters, hot, humid summers, and ample precipitation by provincial standards.

Teratornis

The species probably became extinct as the climatic shifts at the end of the last ice age led to widespread ecological alterations and prey scarcity, exacerbated by human hunting and increasing influence on habitat; generally, most large land animals disappeared and the altered precipitation patterns seriously affected populations of aquatic vertebrates.

Trichloroacetic acid

It is widely used in biochemistry for the precipitation of macromolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Tropical Storm Alma

The city of David, Chiriquí in western Panama reported 5.75 inches (141 mm) of precipitation in 48 hours.
