Book excerpt: Excerpt from Precipitation Characteristics of Summer Storms at High-Elevation Stations in Utah This paper presents the results of data analyses for 25 precipitation intensity stations on two study areas in central and north-central Utah located at elevations between 4, 350 and 10, 150 feet m. S. 1. All data were collected during the period May 1 to October 31. Each station has 10 or more years of record; one station has 30 years of record. The'following analyses were made: (1) Record consistency; (2) definition of local precipi tation zones; (3) intensity - duration - frequency characteristics; (4) 24-hour depths; (5) monthly depths and number of storms; (6) storm occurrence by hour of the day; and (7) storm occurrence by storm duration. The precipi tation zone between and feet m. S. L. Is expected to receive the greatest rainfall intensities. There is a trend toward reduced intensities with increasing elevation but the trend is not uniform. However, those pre cipitation zones that receive the most intense rainfall do not coincide with those zones receiving the greatest depth of rainfall. Generally, rainfall depth increases with elevation, but on one study area the zone that received the greatest depth was not the highest elevation zone. A marked difference in the distribution of storm occurrence by hour between the two study areas is attributed to differences in storm type and to differences in the principal source of summer moisture. Average storm length varies inversely with elevation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Precipitation Characteristics of Summer Storms at Straight Canyon Barometer Watershed, Utah Precipitation records in high mountain areas are scanty. In Utah and the balance of Western United States nearly all of the rainfall intensity gages are located at elevations below ft (1 829 m) m.s.l. Even in the valleys most of the recording rain gage records have not been reduced except by hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Natural Climate Variability on Decade to Century Time Scales written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-08-30 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reflects the current state of scientific knowledge about natural climate variability on decade-to-century time scales. It covers a wide range of relevant subjects, including the characteristics of the atmosphere and ocean environments as well as the methods used to describe and analyze them, such as proxy data and numerical models. They clearly demonstrate the range, persistence, and magnitude of climate variability as represented by many different indicators. Not only do natural climate variations have important socioeconomic effects, but they must be better understood before possible anthropogenic effects (from greenhouse gas emissions, for instance) can be evaluated. A topical essay introduces each of the disciplines represented, providing the nonscientist with a perspective on the field and linking the papers to the larger issues in climate research. In its conclusions section, the book evaluates progress in the different areas and makes recommendations for the direction and conduct of future climate research. This book, while consisting of technical papers, is also accessible to the interested layperson.

Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.
