Estimate of the Arctic Convective Boundary Layer Height from Lidar Observations: A Case Study by L. Di Liberto, F. Angelini, I. Pietroni, F. Cairo, G. Di Donfrancesco, A. Viola, S. Argentini, F. Fierli, G. Gobbi, M. Maturilli, R. Neuber, M. Snels

“…The lidar observations have been used to estimate the PBL height by using the gradient method based on abrupt changes in the vertical aerosol profile and monitor its temporal evolution. The scope of the present study is to compare several approaches to estimate the PBL height, by using lidar observations, meteorological measurements by radio soundings, and a zero-order one-dimensional model based on a parameterization of the turbulent kinetic energy budget within the mixing layer, under the assumptions of horizontal homogeneity, and neglecting radiation and latent heat effects. …”

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGY OF SPRING CEREALS IN THE TRANSYLVANIAN PLATEAU by Teodor Rusu, Felicia Chețan, Ileana Bogdan, Paula Ioana Moraru, Adrian Ioan Pop, Camelia Alămorean

“…In the hilly area of the Transylvanian Plateau, due to the non-application of specific cultivation technologies, the failure to comply with the requirements to combat limiting phenomena and factors, in particular soil erosion, coupled on the other hand with the lack of means of production, the non-existence of technologically adequate agricultural machinery systems, but also insufficient in terms of quantity, modest levels of production have been obtained in recent years. The evolution of soils in the Transylvanian Plateau is influenced by a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. …”

Statistical analysis of heat waves in the southern slopes of Alborz by Zienab Hosinpoor, AliAkbar Shamsipour, Mostafa Karimi, Faramarz khoshakhlagh

“…Heat waves are important phenomena in Iran, And its upsurge in recent years seems to have a high upside trend.This climate has a negative impact on agriculture, forest fire and forestry, water resources, energy use and human health.The purpose of the research is to explain the frequency, time distribution, continuity of thermal waves, and the identification of its occurrence in the southern foothills of central Alborz.Therefore, using the statistical methods and maximum daily temperature data of Tehran (Mehrabad), Qazvin and Semnan stations for the statistical period of 30 years (1966-2016), the mentioned characteristics were extracted.In the first step, the nonparametric method of Kendal was used to understand the variability and awareness of the monthly trend of maximum temperatures in the study period.In order to determine the severity, duration and frequency of heat wave events, the percentiles (95.98) and normalized temperature deviation (NTD) were used.The results of the study showed that the frequency of short-wave heat waves was higher.Most frequencies are related to 2-day waves, respectively, and Tehran (Mehrabad), Semnan and Qazvin stations are more frequent.The highest frequency of annual events was detected at stations in Tehran (11 waves in 2010), in Semnan (9 waves in 2015) and Qazvin (7 waves in 2015), respectively.The highest frequency of monthly heat wave events was recorded in June and September.The highest continuation (15 days) was obtained in March 2008 with the percentile method at Mehrabad station.In the normalized deviation method, the temperature was calculated as a warm wave (12 days) in 2008.The highest annual frequency of heat loss occurred in all three stations in 2015.The evolution of the process indicated an increase in the incidence of thermal waves in the cold period of the year But in other chapters, no meaningful changes were made.As it says, the decline in cold winter temperatures is on the southern slopes of Alborz.The results of the two methods showed that in the normalized deviation of the temperature, the number of thermal waves more than the percentile method was recorded, but in the percentile method, the thermal wave was more prominent in the cold period of the year.…”
