Effects of Interplanting Medicinal Herbs on Runoff, Sediment and Nitrogen and Phosphorus Losses in Young Oil Tea Plantation on Red Soil Sloping Field by YAN Shijie, DUAN Jian, SHEN Faxing, XIE Dongjie, ZHENG Haijin

“…The nitrogen and phosphorus reduction effects ranged from 83.02% to 99.14% and 88.38% to 99.65%, respectively; whereas YA pattern only had a better nutrient interception effect under moderate and heavy rain, the soil and water conservation effect under heavy rain was not obvious. (3) Based on the TOPSIS model, the comprehensive benefits of the four patterns were evaluated and ranked as YY (0.48) > YC (0.29) > YA (0.23) > CK (0.02). …”

Comparisons of the Generalized Potential Temperature in Moist Atmosphere with the Equivalent Potential Temperature in Saturated Moist Atmosphere by Yushu Zhou, Liping Liu, Guo Deng

“…Results showed that the relative humidity is not up to 100% even in torrential rain systems, the saturated condition for EPT is not always held, and thus GPT can describe the moisture concentration and moisture gradient better than EPT. …”

Simulation of rainfall temporal distribution pattern using WRF Model (case study of Parsian dam basin) by Elaheh Ghasemi Karakani, Ebrahim Fattahi, Loabat Salehi Pak, Hooshang Ghaemi

“…For this purpose, availability of short-term time scales rainfalls data are important that obtained by rain gauge stations. However, the low density of the rain gauge network and the lack of sufficient data from the time pattern of rainfall have always been a problem in determining storm patterns for executive plans. …”

Measuring Hydrometeors with a Precipitation Microphysical Characteristics Sensor: Calibration and Field Measurements by Yuntao Hu, Xichuan Liu, Taichang Gao, Xiaojian Shu

“…The typical shape of large raindrop is an oblate ellipsoid, the axis ratio of raindrops decreases linearly with the diameter, the fall velocity of raindrops approaches its asymptote, and the above observed results are in good agreement with the empirical models; the synchronous observation of a PMCS, an OTT PARSIVEL disdrometer, and a rain gauge shows that the PMCS is able to measure the rain intensity, accumulated rainfall, and drop size distribution with high accuracy. …”
