An evaluation of the statistics of rainfall extremes in rain gauge observations, and satellite-based and reanalysis products using universal multifractals
(Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2010-04-01)Confidence in the estimation of variations in the frequency of extreme events, and specifically extreme precipitation, in response to climate variability and change is key to the development of adaptation strategies. One ... -
Chemical composition and aerosol size distribution of the middle mountain range in the Nepal Himalayas during the 2009 pre-monsoon season
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010-12-15)Aerosol particle number size distribution and chemical composition were measured at two low altitude sites, one urban and one relatively pristine valley, in Central Nepal during the 2009 pre-monsoon season (May-June). This ... -
Joint spatial variability of aerosol, clouds and rainfall in the Himalayas from satellite data
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010-09-14)Satellite-based precipitation, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Cloud Optical Depth (COD), and Aerosol Index (AI) data were used to characterize the linkages among landform and the intra-annual variability of aerosols, cloudiness ... -
Using fractal downscaling of satellite precipitation products for hydrometeorological applications
(Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2010-03-01)The objective of spatial downscaling strategies is to increase the information content of coarse datasets at smaller scales. In the case of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) for hydrological applications, the goal ...
