Abstract Precipitation trend analysis, on different spatial and temporal scales, has been of great concern during the past century because attention given to global climate change by scientific community. According some recent studies, Italian territory suffering a precipitation decrease, especially in last 50 years, southern areas seem be more affected. The aim present study is analyse rainfall time series over wide interval area, detecting potential trends assessing their significance. For...
The growing number of extreme hydrological events observed worldwide has raised the level attention towards impact climate change on rainfall process, which is difficult to quantify given its strong spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Therefore, should be determined ranging from individual series a regional and/or district scale. With this context, present study aims identify trends dynamics in sub-daily patterns southern Italy 1970 2020. A comprehensive database annual maxima was...
Abstract. Aerosol particles are a complex component of the atmospheric system that influences climate directly by interacting with solar radiation, and indirectly contributing to cloud formation. The variety their sources, as well multiple transformations they may undergo during transport, result in significant spatial temporal variability properties. Documenting this is essential provide proper representation aerosols condensation nuclei (CCN) models. Using measurements conducted 2016 or...
The knowledge of natural hazards that occurred in the past is essential for implementing forecasting and prevention actions, managing risk, identifying proper land use. Floods do not escape this rule. This article sheds light on an unknown intense rainfall period, which affected Campania region territory current Molise (Southern Italy) October–November 1961. period culminated floods, particularly involving town Benevento (Campania region), had been by several inundations over centuries....
Under the conditions of system linearity and stationarity precipitation process we derive hyetograph associated with any given flood discharge Q , using best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) theory. The BLUE depends explicitly on correlation characteristics rainfall instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) basin. When time is short relative to dispersion IUH, shape mirror image IUH itself. In opposite case design function. procedure extended from lumped semidistributed distributed basins. latter...
The occurrence of rainfall Extraordinary Extreme Events (EEEs) in Mediterranean areas causes serious concerns to the engineers involved design flood and landslide risk mitigation plans as well strategic hydraulic engineering structures, such dams. These extraordinary maxima are characterized by very low frequencies spatial extent scales that smaller than those ordinary maxima, usually identified outliers classical regional frequency analysis. Value mixture models, Two-Component distribution,...
Water use efficiency in agriculture can be improved by implementing advisory systems that support on-farm irrigation scheduling, with reliable forecasts of the actual crop water requirements, where evapotranspiration (ETc) is main component. The development such highly dependent upon availability timely updated canopy parameters and weather several days advance, at low operational costs. This study presents a methodology for forecasting ETc, based on retrieved from multispectral images, data...
Abstract. South Asia is strongly influenced by the so-called Atmospheric Brown Cloud (ABC), a wide polluted layer extending from Indian Ocean to Himalayas during winter and pre-monsoon seasons (November April). This thick, grey-brown haze blanket substantially interacts with incoming solar radiation, causing cooling of Earth's surface warming atmosphere, thus influencing monsoon system climate. In this area, Himalayan region, particularly sensitive climate change, offers unique opportunity...
Abstract. The present paper investigates the diurnal and seasonal variability of aerosol total number concentration, volume size distribution between 10 nm μm, from a combination scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) an optical counter (OPC), performed over two-year period (May 2006–May 2008) at Nepal Climate Observatory-Pyramid (NCO-P) research station, (5079 m a.s.l.). annual average concentration measured NCO-P is 860 cm−3. Total concentrations show strong seasonality with maxima during...
Abstract. Drought is a sustained period of below-normal water availability. It recurring and worldwide phenomenon, but the Mediterranean Basin seen as very vulnerable environment in this perspective, understanding historical drought conditions area necessary to plan mitigation strategies further face future climate change impacts. The current research was aimed at description evolution for Campania region (southern Italy), assessed by analysis an situ measurement database which covers...
Abstract Low-flow hydrological features are crucial for efficient development and integrated water resources management. Among others, the BaseFlow Index ‘BFI’ is one of most important low-flow indices. Many studies have demonstrated that it related to several topographic parameters, climate, vegetation soil types catchment geology. With aim enhance knowledge about climate properties’ relative control on ‘BFI’, an approach consisting empirical analysis, applied a large area located in...
Data from 28 streamflow gauging stations located in the Campania Region, Southern Italy, were analysed. The study was aimed at recommend regional methodologies for environmental flow (EF) and EF variability estimation a climatological environment particularly affected by strong climate variability. Starting an at-site statistical analysis of discharge data, preliminary step where quantification average value, μ(Q95), inter-annual variability, CV(Q95), illustrated. A regression approach then...
