Sunshine and sky cloudiness over Iran
Authors: HADJEBI B. , BANI-HASHEM T. , OMUMI H.
Published: February 2022

Using data provided by the Iranian Meteorological Organization (IMO) obtained from 36 stations for a period of 11 years (1965-1975 ), spatial distribution of the averaged monthly sustained winds relative duration of sunshine over country is studied; also, averaged annual variations of the relative sunshine and sky clearness are investigated for every station, and assuming linear correlation between the two quantities, the regression and correlation coeffieients are computed for each of the stations.

 

It is clearly seen that a major part of the country has relative duration of sunshine less than 60 percent during half a year (December to May), and more than that in the second half. It is also shown that the country is actually divided into four different regions from sunshine and cloudiness point of view; the southern region is under substantial influence of the monsoon, remaining parts, but the northern area, being only fairly affected. Moreover, the percentage of sky free from cloud is more or less higher than the percentage of the duration of sunshine in summer, and generally, either lower or identical in winter.
A comparative study of vertical stabilities in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
Authors: SASTRY J. S. , RAO D. PANAKALA
Published: February 2022

Stabilities in the upper 300 m in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are computed and presented seasonwise. The water column in the Bay of Bengal is more strongly stratified than that in the Arabian Sea. These studies suggest that the vertical transfer of subsurface nutrients into the surface layer in the Bay of Bengal is greatly inhibited.

Ocean-atmosphere interaction on a seasonal scale over north Indian Ocean and Indian monsoon rainfall and cyclone tracks -A preliminary study
Authors: JOSEPH P. V.
Published: February 2022

A preliminary study of synoptic sea surface temperature (SST) measurements made by ships plying over the north Indian Ocean has revealed the existence of an interesting Ocean- atmosphere interaction. Large scale monsoon failures over India during 1965 and 1966 caused increase in SST in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The warm seas are the likely cause of a persist anti-cyclone which formed in the upper troposphere over the Indian seas immediately after the 1966 monsoon and persisted there till the monsoon of 1967 which was a normal monsoon. Following this monsoon SST over the Arabian Sea registered a fall. Conditions again became favourable for monsoon failure. Intensity of upwelling over the coastal waters of Somalia and Arabia (which is apparently regulated by tile strength of the monsoon) is a factor with major role in this interaction. These large-scale changes are found to affect the cyclone tracks also. This mechanism could, therefore, be the cause or the three year oscillation in sub-tropical westerlies/tropical easterlies over south Asia, Indian monsoon rainfall and tracks of the post-monsoon severe cyclones of the Bay of Bengal observed during the decade 1965 to 1974 and reported by Joseph (1975, 1976).

 

While in the sub-Saharan areas of Africa (like Sahel) there was large rainfall deficit during every year from 1966 to 1974 (with the year 1972 having the largest deficit), in India the generally bad monsoon decade 1965 to 1974 was broken by a normal monsoon once every three years, i.e., 1967, 1970 and 1973. In the past also this area of Africa had similar long runs of dry spells (Kraus 1977), but an examination of Indian rainfall of 100 years has shown that no interval between successive good monsoon years has exceeded 4 years. This difference in African and Indian rainfall series must be due to the newly found ocean-atmosphere interaction, occurring over the Arabian Sea und Bay of Bengal.
The response of different wind-stress forcings on the surges along the east coast of India
Authors: DUBE S. K. , SINHA P. C. , RAO A. D.
Published: February 2022

Experiments have been performed with a numerical storm surge prediction model (1981) to simulate the surges generated by the 1977 Andhra cyclone by using various formulae representing the wind distribution in the cyclone. It is found that most of these formulations do not give a gold estimate of the observed wind associated with the Andhra cyclone. Accordingly, the computed sea surface elevations along the east coast of India do not agree with the observations.

 

In the present note a new formulation for the computation of the surface winds has been suggested. A comparison of the results by using the well known formulae for the wind distributions has been made.
Modified numerical solution for the dispersal of air pollutants from an elevated source
Authors: KUMAR RAVINDRA , GUPTA R. N.
Published: February 2022

While obtaining numerical solutions for the dispersal of pollutants from an elevated  point source, truncation errors due to horizontal, advection invariably generate a fictitious viscosity, the magnitude of which soon exceeds vertical diffusion. This paper presents a numerical model in which the artificial viscosity appears to be very very small, i.e., negligible. The results are compared with those obtained by earlier methods and the improvement in results is observed.  This shows that the presence of pseudoviscosity in a numerical method earlier used to give some error, especially at the advanced stages of time.
Budget of absolute angular momentum of monsoon depressions
Authors: CHOWDHURY A.
Published: February 2022

Mean absolute angular momentum and its transport associated with monsoon depressions have been discussed in the paper. For the purpose of this study, depressions which formed in two representative monsoon months of July & August between 1961 & 1974 and moved In the customary west or westnorthwest direction have been pooled to obtain a generalised portrayal of the expected accumulation of the momentum throughout the troposphere, around 1000 km of the depression centre. Estimates have been made of the surface stress by means of which the angular momentum are transferred. Empirical relationship between the drag coefficients and the wind has been deduced.

 

The study reveals that the air which penetrates deep inside the depression field loses maximum momentum in the lower levels while in the upper troposphere angular momentum is generally conserved. Maximum extraction of momentum is found to occur in the high velocity core of the depression. The nature of relationship between the surface drag and the wind is found to be quadratic. Relatively uniform angle of inflow is observed near the depression centre.
Landslides and Sounds due to Earthquakes In relation to the Upper Atmosphere
Authors: MUKHERJEE S. M.
Published: February 2022

A survey is made of' landslides ' and' explosive sounds' associated with violent tectonic earthquakes which occurred in India and neighbourhood during the past one and a quarter century, with special reference to the very large earthquake of 1950. Results of allied studies made elsewhere, are reviewed.

‘Earthquake sounds’ originate in the focal regions of the disturbances, travel in the rock with the speed of elastic waves and after refraction into the air, proceed at a very small angle with the vertical. However loud, such waves cannot return to the ground to be audible at any large distance from the place of emergence from the ground.. Explosive Bounds heard at large distances from the epicentres long aft3r the earthquakes, are produced by landslides. They travel at small angles with the horizontal. After a detour of the upper atmosphere these Bounds can return to the ground and, by successive recurvatures in the upper air and reflections on the ground, can be audible at different distant zones of audibility. The explosive sounds due to submarine earthquakes, like the, Barlsal guns" appear to owe their origin to some volcanic phenomenon, either in association with the earth-quakes or initiated by their effect elsewhere, Audibility of these Bounds at large distances can then be explained by abnormal propagation through the upper atmosphere.

 

By an analysis of the observed elements of sounds and various characteristics of the earthquakes and by comparison with the results of explosion-natural and experimental inferences are made regarding the time and place of occurrence and the number and dimensions of landslides relating to the sounds. Travel times of abnormal sounds, due to earthquakes in India, are thus obtained and these afford a means of Obtaining the temperature of the upper atmosphere, the form of trajectory and critical speed of sound. Preliminary examination shows that these results are approximately in agreement with those obtained from the' explosion' experiments made in India during 1946.47.

The study emphasises the need for re-organising the existing system of voluntary observations of earthquakes.

The mean Jet Stream over India and Burma in winter
Authors: KOTRSWARAM P. , RAMAN C.R.V. , PARTRASARATHY S.
Published: February 2022

The mean jet stream over the Indian sub-continent and Burma has been computed from all available radiosonde data and is found to exist at about 27°N at an altitude of 12 km. No secondary' equatorial jet' as postulated by Chaudhury (1950) is found.

A study of the mean distribution of thermal gradients and lapse rates in the troposphere has been made both for the Indian cross section and the Hess' cross section for North America. The thermodynamic properties of the jet stream typified by the cross sections have been compared. It is found that the gradient of the lapse rate concentrates into a maximum in the vicinity of the jet stream. The occurrence of the two types of jet streams is discussed from thermodynamic considerations.
A study of winds exceeding 20 mph at Delhi
Authors: SINHA K. L. , SHARMA H. R.
Published: February 2022

A study of the winds exceeding 20 mph at Delhi has been made from the anemogram data of the five years 1946-50. The winds have been classified into three groups namely (i) winds unassociated with weather (ii) winds associated with rain or thundery conditions (iii) winds associated with duststorms and thunder storms. Characteristics of the three groups in respect of their frequencies, maximum speed, direction etc have been noted. Situations causing winds without weather and those causing weather have also been briefly indicated.

Winds exceeding 20 mph occur at Delhi in all the months of the year being most frequent in May and June and least frequent in November .Strong winds unassociated with weather are more pronounced during the period from March to June. Winds associated with rain or thundery conditions are more frequent during monsoon months. The total duration of strong winds is on the average about 600 hours per year 75 per cent of which are  associated with west to northwest directions, northwest being most frequent, west coming next, then east and then north. Winds unassociated with weather and those accompanied by rain or thundery conditions reach a maximum speed of 40-45 miles per hour. Winds associated with duststorm and thunderstorm may, however, reaches 70 mph. Winds of the first group commence generally between 1000 and 1200 IST except during May to September when they commence at about 0700 IST. Winds of the second group have a greater tendency to conclude occur at noon in March, forenoon 'in July, both in the forenoon and afternoon in September and in afternoon and evening in May and June. Winds of the third group begin in the noon and afternoon in monsoon and pre. monsoon months and in the evening or in the early hours of night in other months.
The diurnal variation of upper winds over the Indian Sub-continent
Authors: PARTHASARATHY S. , Narayanan J.
Published: February 2022

The diurnal variation of upper winds over the Indian sub-continent has been examined with reference to the normals of upper winds from pilot balloon ascents taken near about 0200,0700 and 1500 lST upto 6 km. This has been accounted  for as mainly due to differential  heating or cooling of the various parts of the country associated with the vertical movement of air due to convection and an expression has been derived connecting diurnal variation with the differential heating and vertical movement. Differential heating of land and sea. areas are found to affect winds upto 3 km in general and upto 6 km in April, the effect in the lower levels being more prominent in the west coast than in the east coast. Some notable instances of the diurnal variation which have an effect on the climatology of the various regions are also considered.

Authors: Das P. K. , DHAR N. C.
Published: February 2022

This paper describes the observations taken on I.N.S. Investigator, during the ship's last survey season in the Andaman Islands, The work done during the voyage was (a) measurement of temperature, density and salinity in the surface waters of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, and (b) measurement of the humidity wind gradient in the lower layers of the atmosphere above the sea.

The observations of salinity during the voyage have been compared with the earlier work of Sewell (1938). In addition, attempts have been made to estimate evaporation from the observations of humidity gradient. The wind observations have also been analysed to see what agreement they give with Rossby's earlier results.
A statistical study of the persistency of rain days during the monsoon season at Poona
Authors: RAMABHADRAN V. K.
Published: February 2022

A 60-year record of June-September precipitation data for Poona has been user to determine the frequency of rain spells of various lengths. It has been found that the frequencies conform closely to a logarithmic series S ( axr | r ). A method of predicting rain-days based on past rain, making use of the observed frequencies has been illustrated. Also, the use of the constant x of the logarithmic series in persistency forecast is discussed. Finally the skill score of a persistency forecast of a rain-day following a rain period of 1,2…days duration has also been determined. Persistency itself may perhaps be construed as a meteorological factor and it may be possible to improve the accuracy of rain forecasts by applying the persistency theory in addition to the existing synoptic techniques.

Are We There Yet?: Outreach and Engagement in the Consortium for Institutional Cooperation Promotion and Tenure Policies
Authors: Doberneck Diane
Published: February 2022

More than 20 years since Scholarship Reconsidered and 15 years since The Disciplines Speak raised awareness about multiple ways of defining, conducting, and rewarding engaged scholarship, faculty members continue to cite institutional barriers to outreach and engagement scholarship. This qualitative study analyzed promotion and tenure policies from 15 Consortium for Institutional Cooperation (CIC) institutions. Thematic and content analysis focused on documents, including policies, instructions, forms, and templates, and followed a two-stage coding process guided by both extant theory and emergent discovery. The study revealed unexpectedly wide variations in language used to describe faculty work; types of examples included in the documents; the role of outreach and engagement in the promotion and tenure process; and criteria for assessing quality and excellence. No policy stood out as an exemplar, though many incorporated exemplary elements. Implications for policy and practice and directions for future research are included in the conclusion.

Published: February 2022

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an American Veterinary Medical Association approved swine euthanasia method. A limitation for the use of CO2 during depopulation events, such as a foreign animal disease diagnosis, is the ability to apply the method to finisher and adult pigs. The common euthanasia methods in finishing and adult swine require individual animal handling and restraint, increasing human safety risk in large-scale depopulation events. This project validates the modification of a standard dump trailer into a mobile CO2 depopulation unit. The success of the method was verified with subdermal implants for monitoring heart rate, activity, and body temperature.
Constitutional Law Norm: Some Aspects of Structure
Authors: Bielov Dmytro , Hromovchuk Myroslava
Published: February 2022

The specifics of the norm of the constitutional law of Ukraine in the context of enshrining in it the basic provisions of the constitutional and legal status of a person and a citizen are revealed. It is pointed out that the multifaceted system of constitutional law of Ukraine and all its structural elements consist of the norms of constitutional law. The latter are the basis of the institutions of constitutional law, as well as other parts of the system of constitutional law - natural and positive, general and special part, substantive and procedural, international and national, and so on. That is, the system of constitutional law of Ukraine cannot exist outside its normative dimension. In addition, law, and later its system, were formed on the basis of legal norms, which have historically stood out from other social norms - religious, moral, ethical, cultural, and so on. It is noted that the position of the general theory of constitutional law, the study of the constitutional and legal status of man and citizen is closely related to the problem of determining the subject of constitutional law on the legal status of man and citizen. In this sense, in the science of constitutional law, there are at least two ways to answer the question. One of them as a subject of constitutional law interprets only the basic principles of the constitutional and legal status of man, and the other to the subject of the science of constitutional law also adds the problems of protection and maintenance of the constitutional and legal status of man and citizen. On the other hand, the coverage of the problems of the constitutional and legal status of man and citizen has a purely methodological relevance. The establishment of the foundations of the legal status of a person by the Constitution of Ukraine marked the beginning of the process of compiling a new type of legal culture of our state and its citizens. At the same time, it is the principles of the legal status of a person, formed outside the very institution of the constitutional status of a person, that bring to it the meaning that necessitates truly historical changes in our society.

Published: February 2022

Este texto refere-se a uma pesquisa exploratória realizada com adolescentes que cometeram ofensa sexual na faixa etária de 16 a 18 anos e que foram atendidos em um programa de assistência a famílias em situação de violência. O objetivo é investigar o risco de reincidência sexual desses participantes nesta faixa etária, por meio do instrumento ERASOR 2.0 (versão portuguesa). Trata-se de pesquisa documental, com informações colhidas dos prontuários de 12 adolescentes no ano de 2020, durante o período da pandemia da COVID-19. O instrumento é um checklist de 25 fatores que avaliam os riscos em cinco categorias: interesses, atitudes e comportamentos sexuais; histórico de agressões sexuais; funcionamento psicossocial; contexto familiar e tratamento. O atendimento psicossocial a estes indivíduos em final da adolescência pode evitar processar e criminalizar esta faixa etária, prevenindo que os futuros jovens adultos sejam julgados pelo sistema criminal, caso venham a reincidir a ofensa sexual.

The objective of this research article is to study and carry out research in the biological innovation of the substitute textile derived from soil and through series of improved material efficiency, and we were able to produce future costume prototype that have been resulted from the 3 elements of conceptual framework. The 3 elements are firstly to create innovation based on scientific knowledge through the use of synthetic bio fiber processing and synthetic brown pigmentation that resemble melanin cell in human skin according to research in the skin of the Thai population. Secondly, it is to add value to the natural resource base which focuses on a circular production process that is environmentally friendly. Lastly, it is to exhibit the empirical design aesthetic through using the substitute textile that resembles the human skin color. If one is taking a closer look at the substitute textile, one would consider it to be wounds or operation scars. These permanent marks or scars are either the evidence of sadness and embarrassment feelings or the safety and survival. The researcher has applied this concept into clothing design by using substitute textile produced from soil. This new form of textile is meant to portray the true meaning of beauty caused by imperfections. These imperfections are the symbol of life, expressing the communication of rounds of existence between nature and human.
