For instance, changes are taking place in precipitation patterns, with a trend toward higher precipitation levels in the world s upper latitudes and lower precipitation in some sub tropical and tropical regions, as well as in the Mediterranean area. The number of extreme precipitation events is also increasing and are increasingly widespread.

This model relates the distribution of major ecosystems ( life zones ) to the climate variables of biotemperature, mean precipitation, and the ratio of potential evapotranspiration to precipitation (PET ratio).

We have all of the precipitation data and the temperature data.

The precipitation radar on board TRMM will be provided by NASDA on the basis of studies carried out by the Communications Research Laboratory, which has collaborated with NASA through experiments on precipitation observation from airplanes.

According to some estimates, there has been a 19 per cent increase in precipitation.

If you think about Antarctica, it's technically a desert, it gets so little precipitation.

TRMM will be the first mission carrying a precipitation radar to monitor tropical rainfall from space.

Each climate has its own sub climates, reflecting the amount of precipitation and the length of the rainy season.

Japan will develop the precipitation radar to be carried by the satellite, which it will launch using an H II rocket.

The environmental affects may include diurnal temperature cycling, vibration, shock, humidity, solar radiation, precipitation, sand dust, salt spray and electromagnetic radiation.

That's very important because the humidity and precipitation tell you whether you've got standing pools of water for the mosquitoes to breed.

95 percent of the glaciers in the world are retreating or shrinking, and that's because the precipitation patterns and the temperature patterns are changing.

It is characterized by developed landscapes with relatively high slopes which, in addition to the unbalanced distribution of precipitation, lead to an unbalanced off flow.

Japan will provide the precipitation radar and launch the satellite by H II rocket, and the United States will provide the satellite bus and other sensors.

There is evidence that the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events will increase over many areas worldwide, notably over many northern hemisphere mid to high latitude land areas.

Understanding atmospheric change requires an integrated system for collecting data on a wide array of parameters, including greenhouse gases, ozone, solar radiation, precipitation chemistry, aerosols, reactive gases and meteorology.

Measurements from NASA apos s ER 2 and DC 8 aircraft have produced significant improvements in our understanding of precipitation, convection, clouds and radiation, air sea interaction and oceanographic processes.

The satellite data serve to improve weather forecasting on an operational basis, and are used in the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) of WMO.

In cases where imported goods, to which contractual tariff rate or preferential tariff rate is applicable are subject to temporary rate, the lower tariff rate shall apply.

The malnutrition rate and the child mortality rate have been reduced.

We are now learning how those environmental impacts are aggravated by atmospheric pollution, acid precipitation and atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases and why global climate change may pose the most serious threat of them all.

AMSR is a microwave radiometer with six channels, from 6.6 to 89 gigahertz. Its observation targets are precipitation, cloud water, water vapour, sea surface temperature, ice distribution etc., all of which are concerned with water mutation.

And according to the Beijing Warning Center, an average precipitation measured by the rainfall monitoring stations across the city reached 20mm, with 13.7mm for urban area, from 6 00 am to 2 00 pm on August 12.

What we don't know is the exact, precise, immediate impact of these changes on natural climate patterns winds, ocean currents, precipitation rates, cloud formation, things that bear on the health and well being of billions of people.

They had bad burn rate in the Gold Rush. A very bad burn rate.

Normally, short run and long run exchange rate trends point in the same direction. Indeed, a huge body of research shows that for most major currencies, the best forecast of next week s exchange rate, next month s exchange rate, or even next year s exchange rate is simply today s exchange rate.

The second adverse effect of deflation is to raise the real interest rate, that is, the difference between the nominal interest rate and the rate of inflation. When prices are rising, the real interest rate is less than the nominal rate since the borrower repays with dollars that are worth less.

However, the Committee is very concerned that despite decreases in the infant mortality rate, under five mortality rate and maternal mortality rate, these rates remain very high.
