Abstract:
The fragmented pattern and the rapidly declining preservation of older glacial features/evidences limits the precision, with which glacial chronologies can be established. The challenge is exacerbated by the scarcity of datable material and limitations of dating methods. Nevertheless, the preserved glacial landforms have been fairly utilized to establish glacial chronologies from different sectors of the... More
Abstract:
Meteorologists are experiencing many challenges in the reliable forecasting of the track and intensity of tropical cyclones (TC). Uses of the potential vorticity (PV) technique will enrich the current forecasting system. The use of PV analysis of TC intensification over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) is rare. In this study, the authors analyze the behaviour... More
Abstract:
The paper deals with the issues of differentiation of atmospheric precipitation into gradations according to their characteristics and established meteorological practices. The division of atmospheric precipitation into gradations allows one to have an idea of the possible consequences of their fallout on life in the area. The dependence of the average intensity of precipitation on... More
Abstract:
According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates and based on a world population review, Iraq ranks tenth among the most air-polluted countries in the world. In this study, the authors tried to evaluate the outdoor air of Kirkuk City north of Iraq. The authors relied on two types of data: field measurements and remotely sensed... More
