An investigation into the relationship between moon phases and precipitation maximums in British ColumbiaEmery, Frank Thomas January 1963 (has links)
The correlations between moon phases and precipitation
maximums were investigated for selected stations in British
Columbia in order to determine if they existed for:
(a) individual stations; (b) grouped stations; (c) annual
occurrences; (d) seasonal occurrences; and (e) geographic
areas. The analysis consisted of a graphical presentation
and a statistical test for randomness. Graphs of annual and
seasonal moving totals for grouped and Individual stations
were prepared. They were analyzed for peaks in the configuration
of the graphs and for annual and seasonal components
through the use of the X2p test.
It is apparent from this study that there is a relationship
between moon phases and precipitation maximums for
grouped stations and individual stations in British Columbia.
The evidence for the annual components of "lunar" precipitation
for the individual stations shows, statistically, that
the distributions are non-random and, graphically, that peaks
are visible. Moreover, a shift of the peaks with latitude is
discernible for the stations of British Columbia and it is
suggested that this shift exists on a global scale. The evidence
for the seasonal components of "lunar" precipitation for
the individual stations is not as conclusive, either statistically
or graphically. The seasonal graphs show peaks but the
test for randomness yields inconsistent results. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

Occult cloudwater deposition to a forest in complex terrain : measurement and interpretationKowalski, Andrew S. 04 October 1996 (has links)
Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into
physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for
hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for
estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected
the fact that cloudwater is not a conservative atmospheric quantity. This invalidates
traditional micrometeorological approaches for estimation of cloudwater fluxes to forests.
A theory is developed to predict the change in the cloudwater flux with height due to
condensation in the updrafts of orographic cloud, allowing estimation of surface uptake
via eddy correlation measurements while accounting for condensation.
The performances of three microphysical instruments are examined. From collocated
measurements, errors in cloud liquid water content are determined for a Particulate
Volume Monitor (PVM) and a Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) to be less
than 0.01 g m⁻³ and 0.035 g m⁻³ respectively. Similarly, the error bounds for surface-normal
cloud liquid water fluxes are found to be 2 mg m⁻² s⁻¹ for the PVM and 3.5 mg
m⁻² s⁻¹ for the FSSP. Smaller errors are found to be associated with the uncertainty in the
direction of the flux relevant to surface uptake. The FSSP is seen to have larger errors
when droplet concentrations exceed 600 cm⁻³.
A vertical divergence is detected in the cloudwater flux; the downward flux
decreases with increasing distance from the surface, usually changing sign by 15 m above
ground. Five candidate processes are identified as possible explanations for this measured
flux divergence. A scale analysis shows that the liquid water source (condensation due
to pseudoadiabatic ascent) is largely responsible for the change in flux with height.
Accounting for the change in flux with height results in a near doubling of the estimated
surface flux relative to the flux measured at a height of 10 m in the surface layer for
this silver fir forest. This factor applies to chemical as well as liquid water fluxes. This
source of liquid water also is seen to be important in developing a simple model for
cloudwater deposition. / Graduation date: 1997
