Context: Moyamoya disease or chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease is characterized by proximal occlusion of the internal carotid artery and its branches bilaterally, generating an angiographic “smoke” pattern (moyamoya, from Japanese “something hazy”) and by diverse ischemic manifestations. Case report: The sample consists of three female patients, aged between 13 and 46 years, followed in our service due to the diagnosis of Moyamoya Disease. Among the clinical manifestations presented, ischemic cerebrovascular events with neurological deficit predominated, and one of the patients presented two episodes compatible with stroke and one episode compatible with transient ischemic accident. The youngest patient presented with a choreic picture initially interpreted as Sydenham’s chorea. Although the gold standard for the diagnosis of chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease is cerebral arterial angiography, it was possible to observe a pattern compatible with the disease in other modalities of examination, such as cerebral arterial angiotomography and cerebral arterial angioresonance. From the therapeutic point of view, one of the patients underwent surgical intervention (encephaloduromyosinangiosis), with improvement of symptoms after treatment. Conclusions: In this paper, we emphasize the importance of complementary imaging tests in the evaluation of patients with cerebrovascular syndromes and the diversity of clinical presentation of Moyamoya disease.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that consists of the development of autoantibodies against the myelin sheath in neuronal axons causing demyelinating inflammatory sites. It is a disease currently incurable. Objectives: The objective was to describe the epidemiological clinical profile of patients hospitalized with MS in the State of São Paulo, in the period from 2011 to 2021. Methods: This is an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study, with quantitative analysis, whose source of data was the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, from the Ministry of Health. The data were tabulated in graphs and tables using Microsoft Excel 2010. Results: 10,386 admissions of MS were reported in the state. Of the total cases, 67.4% occurred in females and 80.3% in race white. 43.5% of patients in the age group between 30 and 39 years. 94.4% were hospitalized on an elective basis. The average length of stay is between 3.3 days, with mortality rate representing 0.64% of the total. Conclusion: A higher prevalence was observed in the age range between 30 and 39 years and a predominance of hospitalizations among women. Although it is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, the mortality was low. It suggests that there are variables to be analyzed, such as a possible underreporting of this disease and also the advent of early diagnosis strategies and treatments that can modify the course of the disease, mitigating mortality.

Authors: Webber Gustavo Humberto , Lessack Gabriel Cavalheiro , Reis Felipe Ibiapina dos
Published: December 2021

Context: This case report describes a patient with bilateral dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries after being immunized by the Astrazeneca vaccine against COVID-19. Case report: AVC, female, 55 years old, health professional, without previous illness, received ChAdOx1 nCov-19 AstraZeneca vaccine and evolved after one day with flu-like symptoms, headache, odynophagia, fever, myalgia for 5 days. On the 7th day, she sought hospital service complaining of sudden headache, and numbness in the left upper limb. A non-reactive Sars-Cov-2 RT-PCR test was performed. The patient was released after clinical improvement. She returned after 8 days, being diagnosed with migraine and was treated with sintomatic drugs. After more 7 days, during the neurologist appointment, she reported daily headaches of varying intensity and episodes of unverified fever, with no findings on physical examination. Laboratory tests, brain resonance with cranial and cervical angioresonance, which showed findings of bilateral carotid dissection, involving the supra-bulbar segments of both internal carotid arteries, notably in the right internal carotid artery, as well as degrees of dissection of both vertebral arteries. On admission, antiplatelet aggregation was chosen, with the patient showing good evolution and being discharged after 4 days for outpatient follow-up. Conclusion: The patient has no evident risk factor for arterial dissection. In addition, the post-vaccine adverse reaction and the temporal gap between the application of the vaccine and the development of multiple arterial dissections drew attention. A possible link between the patient’s immune response and vascular endothelial inflammatory reaction is suggested, resulting in multiple arterial dissections.

Authors: Folly Julia Carvalho , Reis Lara Emanuelle Silva , Terrena Stella Maris Lins
Published: December 2021

Background: With the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 virus spreading, there has been an increase in the dissemination of information relating the infection to neuromuscular involvement. Articles indicate an increase in cases of GuillainBarré Syndrome immediately or a few weeks after infection by the virus. Objectives: The present study aimed to gather the current knowledge disclosed in the literature about the onset of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: The study design was based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), using the Pubmed database, including articles in Portuguese and English language. Results: Articles that indicated an increase in cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome dated to publications in April 2020 of cases analyzed since February of the same year. Histopathological analyses that identified the virus in the central nervous system of patients, associated with the detection of anti-anglioside antibodies of the anti-GM1, anti-GD1a and anti-GD1b types in the patients analyzed, represent important findings about GBS associated with Covid-19. Pro-inflammatory cytokines present in the immune response as a result of SARS-COV-2 have been associated with the triggering of neuronal injury. In patients analyzed we observed the manifestation of symptoms between 5 and 21 days after Covid-19 infection, similar to the reported GBS interval after other viral infections. Conclusion: The clinical pictures of patients affected by Covid-19 suggest an intense possible relating between infection by the new coronavirus and autoimmune neuromuscular conditions. Further studies are needed on this association, which has not yet been clarified.

Published: December 2021

Context: In the literature, there are few cases of Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There is description of 19 neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with SLE, 12 of the central nervous system (CNS) and 7 of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). 10% of the patients with SLE and neurological manifestations have PNS complications. SLE is considered to have a late onset when it starts above 50 years of age and it consists in, on average, 26% of the total of individuals with SLE, however, in contrast to juvenile lupus, the number of studies is scarce. Case report: A patient diagnosed with late onset SLE who came to the emergency department due to seizure crisis and during the management, the patient developed an atypical form of GBS (motor, facial and bulbar), requiring mechanical ventilation and gastrostomy. The patient obtained a favorable outcome after pulse therapy and plasmapheresis. Conclusion: The atypical form of GBS is a very rare complication in patients with SLE, more studies need to be done for a standardized approach.

This study aims to convert the municipal solid waste (MSW), which include garbage and chicken manure as raw biodegradable organic waste to produce a compost in order to transform these materials into recommended fertilizer. The principle of aerobic composting method is a waste oxidation through holding these mixed raw materials with a ratio of 1:1 garbage and chicken manure in two units of composting, rotary unit and stationary unit with recommended Carbon/Nitrogen ratio C/N of 20:1 and pH of 6.5 with moisture content of about 40% by adding water during composting process and presence of oxygen naturally. The period time of composting process was 69 days to get normal temperature of compost bulk equal to ambient temperature and pH value as natural value using two composting units. The composting results during first 30 days shows the temperature values 59.5 and 55oC for rotary unit and stationary units that refers to microbial action of microorganism and decomposition of organic matter to energy as heat. The pH values were having acidic state during first week that refers to the formation of organic acids. The final compost characteristics show a C/N ratio of 20.8 and 22.275 for rotary and stationary units, respectively with a decrease in C% and N%, which refers to a successful composting process, where Nitrogen, Phosphor and Potassium NPK values were (1.428:1.719:4.508) % for rotary unit and (1.361:0.419:3.884) % for stationary unit and electrical conductivity of 5.5 and 6.04 mS/cm as acceptable value according to the recommended standard values.
Relaciones internacionales feministas
Authors: Lenine Enzo
Published: December 2021

A lo largo de las últimas tres décadas, los debates feministas han ingresado a la disciplina de Relaciones Internacionales, rompiendo antiguos silencios, mientras establecían diálogos con el canon. Sin embargo, a pesar de los esfuerzos por integrarse a la disciplina y de la rica literatura teórica y empírica, los feminismos en RR.II. siguen marginados vis-à-vis las formas tradicionales de producción de conocimiento. Bajo este contexto, parto de la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿en qué medida los abordajes feministas de relaciones internacionales constituyen un área integrada a la disciplina de RR.II., considerándose sus silencios, diálogos y ausencias? Analizo los distintos silencios, diálogos y ausencias que caracterizan un proyecto de integración inconcluso en una disciplina que se presume global, pero que acepta con dificultades los aportes epistemológicos y metodológicos de los feminismos.

Background: Severe hypercholesterolemia (SH) is a common condition characterized by increased levels of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc). Methods: The aim of this study is to screen for prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, perform heritability estimation of circulating lipoproteins and study the association between SH cases and surrogate cardiovascular disease markers among participants of STANISLAS cohort. Gene candidate analyses were utilized to investigate the association between lipid levels, SH and polymorphisms from the three commonly reported genes (APOB, LDLR and PCSK9). Results: Participants with SH (n=102; 6.9%) were older (58 vs. 51yr), had higher total cholesterol (290 vs. 209mg/dL), LDLc (206 vs. 136mg/dL) and triglycerides (114 vs. 88 mg/dL). Despite smoking less, they had carotid plaques more frequently (21.2 vs. 9.3%), higher cIMT (676 vs. 597µm), and had more frequent family history cardiovascular disease. The circulating lipid levels have an important heritability: LDLc 51.6%, HDLc 66.6%, total cholesterol 49.8%, and triglycerides 41.4%. The SNPs located in LDLR gene present the strongest association with LDLc levels: rs55997232, rs17242395, rs1010679, and rs11668477. Conclusion: In a healthy cohort, participants with SH had premature vascular damage. LDLc had an important component of heritability and SNPs linked to the LDLR gene presented a strong association with LDLc. These findings reinforce the need for an early identification and treatment of SH subjects, which is mostly polygenic.

Published: December 2021

Over the past few years, there has been an undiminished interest on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. High Lp(a) levels have been proposed as an independent causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). The main question that remains to be answered, however, is the potential clinical benefit of Lp(a) reduction. This will contribute to the enrichment of our knowledge on the exact pathophysiological role of this lipoprotein. This narrative review aims to summarize currently available data on the structure, metabolism, and pathogenicity of Lp(a).

En los últimos meses del año 2019, Chile y Bolivia fueron el escenario de distintas manifestaciones ciudadanas que culminaron con la crisis de sus instituciones políticas. En el primer caso, a partir del insostenible clima político, se planteó una nueva Constitución, mientras que el segundo derivó en un golpe de Estado. Sostenemos que estos acontecimientos deben su origen, en parte, a la mala praxis estatal en la administración de los recursos naturales al hacerlos una parte fundamental para el desarrollo económico de ambos países al convertir a sus economías en dependientes de una canasta exportadora de commodities, las performances son excesivamente vulnerables a shocks externos. Ninguno de los escenarios ha cambiado en términos económicos, y políticamente aún mantienen su inestabilidad.

Three multivariate calibration-prediction techniques, partial least squares (PLS), principal component regression (PCR) and artifi cial neural networks (ANN), have been applied without separation in the spectrophotometric multi-component analysis of phenylephrine hydrochloride and naphazoline hydrochloride. A set of 25 synthetic mixtures of phenylephrine hydrochloride and naphazoline hydrochloride has been evaluated to determine the predictability of PLS, PCR and ANN. The absorbance data matrix was obtained by measuring zero-order absorbances between 230-300 nm at intervals of 3 nm. The suitability of the models was determined on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE), root mean squared cross validation error (RMSECV) and root mean squared prediction error (RMSEP) values of calibration and validation data. The results showed a very good correlation between true values and the predicted concentration values. Therefore, the methods developed can be used for routine drug analysis without chemical pre-treatment.
Commodification of Urban Space and the Image of ‘New’ Istanbul
Authors: MUTMAN DEMET , Yorgancioğlu Derya
Published: December 2021

This study aims to identify the urban transformation strategy implemented in Istanbul for the last 15 years as a tool to promote the ‘new’ city discourse. This marking strategy leads to a thoroughly manipulated or re-written urban texture, constructed through concepts of identity, context and historicism. By decoding its actors, their roles, and branding images of five selected urban projects which relied on a top-down approach, the research exposes the implicit and explicit targets behind the political discourse of ‘new’ İstanbul. Through a qualitative content analysis of branding images and promotional media, the research focuses on the unseen agenda of the governing authority concerning the urban image and the state economy, which, on the contrary, undermines legitimate laws covering disaster mitigation. The conceptual framework of the study draws on Tafuri’s (1969) seminal article "Toward a Critique of Architectural Ideology" to deepen our examination of the leading forces of urban ideology that are reshaping the city. The article aims to spark a debate over the ‘new’ Istanbul discourse and its planning practices through its re-reading of urban projects, the field of architecture and planning, development strategies, and their relevant actors.

Published: December 2021

Faced with the effects of global warming, energy resource depletion, and other related social problems which have steadily worsened since the 1980’s, people around the world have sought to create more sustainable, resilient and ‘liveable’ communities. Two approaches have been developed: The first is reformist - developing piecemeal changes in response existing problems -; the second is utopian - creating new environments from scratch. Eco-villages are consciously developed as sustainable communities, and as such, are an example of the utopian approach.
This study evaluates the creation of two eco-villages in Turkey facing physical, social, economic, and sustainability issues. Our research starts by discussing two well-known eco-village initiatives, which enables us establish the key features of eco-village initiatives generally. We then analyse these key features in the context of two eco-villages selected in Turkey, using publicly available information from websites, observations from site visits, and details from personal interviews conducted with the founders of each settlement. Our findings, which relate to the physical, social, economic, and sustainable aspects of the eco- villages, are subsequently tabulated and compared with the original two eco-village initiatives discussed. In closing, several recommendations are made for the ongoing success of the initiatives in Turkey.

Serious Soap (www.serioussoap.nl/eng) is a video-based educational tool that combines entertainment with learning and reflection; it can serve as an attractive e-learning tool for nurses, nursing students, and tutors in geriatric care.Objective: This article describes Serious Soap’s development process, the lessons learned, and the most beneficial factors for student-centredness and teacher-centredness.Conclusions: The lessons learned from the development process highlight that it is important to use the experiences from previous gamification projects, co-create with target users, conduct elaborate testing and research before launching the final version, and ensure sustainability. The most valuable features for student-centeredness were the use of humor, authentic critical situations, popular actors, and interactivity. The most favorable aspects for teacher-centeredness were free accessibility of the tool, evidence-based content, and the possibility of using different features of the tool in various manners.
Upper ocean responses in the central western equatorial Indian Ocean During the southwest monsoon season
Authors: JOSEPH M, G. , KUMAR P.V. HAREESH , MADHUSOODANAN P.
Published: December 2021

Upper ocean (200 m) response under the pre-onset, and active regimes of southwest (SW) monsoonal forcing at 0°N. 60°E in the Indian Ocean was analysed utilising time series data collection during Indo-Soviet Monsoon Experiment, 1973 (ISMEX- 73). Oceanic response under the pre-onset domination of the wind stress momentum and onset domination of buoyancy flux (B0) was apparent in shoaling/warming and deepening/cooling (12 m/0.50 C in 4 days) of Mixed Layer Depth (MLD). The pre-onset increase was followed by an onset decrease in below layer thermohaline/density gradient and disappearance of Sub-surface Salinity Maximum (SSM). Corespondingly, MLD and its heat content (HCMLD ) were more correlated to (B0) and QN . Upper ocean response during active regime manifested in deepening/colling (20 m/1C in 6 days) of MLD under dominant production of turbulent kinetic energy by wind stress except for the convectively dominant mixing at the beginning and end. With reduction in below-layer thermohaline/density gradient and absence of SSM the correlations between MLD B0 wind stress, QN and HCMLD became insignificant due to increased advective flux during active regime. One dimensional simulation of mixed layer paramerters showed agreement.

The estimation of u*, 0*, q*. and Obukov-length In the surface layer from micro-meteorological tower data still poses an important challange. In the present study a procedure for the parametric estimation has been developed which is consistent both with the similarity relation and the profile relation. The study has been done using both fast response and slow response tower data. Since similarity relations involve a particular level z. so inspite of starting from a layer, the parameters should be attributed to a  relations involve a particular level only, It has been suggested that the convenient level is geometric mean height of the layer.

The ratio of eddy diffusivities (KhKm.) has been estimated both for stable and unstable situation and this ratio is presented by a single expression which incidentally yields a new value of a constant involved.

In this study. the agrometeorological data of Hisar and Bellary have been utilized to  examine evapotranspirative demand of the pearl millet at different phases during the crop growing period.Water use efficiency of the crop has also been worked out and discussted. Cumulative soil moisture balance was computed to assess the crop stress situation, Attempt has also been made to assess the moisture availability to the crop during the growing period and to estimate the yield,

The study revealed that the pearl millet used maximum amount of water during the flowering stage at both locations. The same variety of pearl millet was found to use water more efficiently at Hisar than at Bellary. The yield index based on soil moisture balance technique was found to give a good indication of the yield.
Observed variability in the current field during summer monsoon experiments: Arabian Sea

Published: December 2021

The observed short term variability in the current field of the upper layers at selected locations in the Arabian Sea is examined utilising the available short (1-2 weeks) time series of moored currentmeter records obtained from former USSR stationary ship polygons during MONSOON-77 and MONEX-79 field experiments. Supplementary time series data sets on surface wind, sub-surface temperature and salinity were also made use of to explain the observed structure and variability of current field, in the upper 2OOm water column. The thermal regime in the central Arabian Sea showed cooling and deepening of the surface mixed layer with the onset and progress of the summer monsoon during MONSOON- 77 while the corresponding variability was marginal in the western and south-central Arabian Sea during pre-onset regime of MONEX-79, The Ekman balance appeared to be limited to the mixed layer, only during pre-onset regime of MONSOON-77 and was absent during pre-onset and onset regimes of MONEX-79 suggesting the importance of internal ocean dynamics influencing the current field. Most of the current records showed rich structure with superposed oscillations extending over the entire 200m water column. During progress regime of MONSOON-77 and at the equatorial station during pre-onset regime of MONEX-79. dramatic reduction in the current strength is noticed from mixed layer to thermocline due to differences in the eddy viscosity. During MONEX-79, a strong subsurface core of southerly flow ( -100 cm/s) was noticed at the equator (49°E) even before the onset of monsoon. The vector time series of current-meter records subjected to rotary spectral analysis showed inertial oscillations in the flow regime more prominently during MONSOON-77 as compared to MONEX-79.

A critical study on parameters controlling water requirement or wheat Triticum aestivum L.) at various growth stages in ten different agroclimatic zones
Authors: KASHYAPI A. , DUBEY R.C.
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT.  The parameters controlling water requirement of wheat and its crop data, at various critical growth stages from ten different agroclimatic zones for five years. were collected and analysed. The study revealed that the total CU-demand for wheat crop in different wheat growing zones varied from 160 to 465 mm of water. In most of the zones, peak CU-demand were either at milk stage (21.0% of the total CU demand or at different stages (19.5% of the total CU-demand). Rabi season rainfall was not sufficient to meet the crop C.U-demand at different growth stages. The soil moisture study revealed that its depletion started around tillering stage indicating thereby, need for irrigation water beyond that stale. Computed average Kc, values (throughout the crop growth period) varied from 0.36 to 1.05 in different agroclimatic zones. Growth stage-wise K, values at or after elongation stage even exceeded one. Wheat yield in various agroclimatic zone varied from 1900 to 4800 kg/ha with the average productivity of 17 to 26 kg/ha/day. The WUE of the crop in different zones lay between 5 to 17 kg of grain/ha/mm of water. Depending upon this study wheat growing areas were divided into six zones.

We are aware that the processing of GPS data through GAMIT processing software is not free from errors. Some of them are generated due to different modules involved in processing. The data quality depends so many factors, like quality of met-instrument, which supplies the meteorological data, algorithm of processing which based on the network homogeneity or heterogeneity and location of the site, whether it is free from multi-path etc. The root mean square errors for New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Guwahati and Chennai GPS stations are spatially correlated and observations are weighted according to the satellite elevation angle. Diurnal variability of Integrated Precipitable Water Vapour (IPWV) has been shown its range from 45 mm to 65 mm for New Delhi during the monsoon season, 2008.

Authors: JASWAL A.K. , KOPPAR A.L.
Published: December 2021

Annual and seasonal trends in specific humidity, relative humidity and dry bulb temperature based upon 215 stations across India are studied. The results of trend analysis show evidence of an increase in air moisture content over India during 1969-2007 with more than 90% stations showing increasing trends in specific humidity. Climatological means of specific humidity and relative humidity for the country are 14.1 g/kg and 63.9% respectively and trends are significantly increasing for all periods except for relative humidity in monsoon season. Annual trends in specific humidity, relative humidity and dry bulb temperature are +0.23 g/kg per decade, +0.85% per decade and +0.04° C per decade respectively. Seasonal trends in specific humidity, relative humidity and dry bulb temperature are statistically significant and highest in summer (+0.30 g/kg per decade), winter (+1.49% per decade) and monsoon (+0.11° C per decade) respectively. Spatially, the increasing trends in specific humidity and relative humidity are more coherent over north, northwest, central and southeast India. Spatial patterns of trends in relative humidity and dry bulb temperature are complementary and strongly correlated. Relative humidity trends are consistently decreasing over Jammu and Kashmir and northeast India.
Increasing trends in summer season relative humidity and monsoon season dry bulb temperature over large parts of the country contribute significantly to upward trend in human discomfort. The spatial patterns of discomfort index show that the aerial extent of uncomfortable conditions increases both north and westwards as season progresses from summer to monsoon.
Modified instability index of the troposphere associated with thunderstorms / nor'westers over Bangladesh during the pre-monsoon season
Authors: KARMAKAR SAMARENDRA , ALAM MD. MAHBUB
Published: December 2021

The present study is an attempt to study different Modified Stability Indices in relation to the occurrence of severe thunderstorms/nor’westers in order to find out the critical values of different modified indices favorable for the formation of thunderstorms in Bangladesh. Computations have also been made for the stations in and around Bangladesh for studying the spatial distribution of the modified stability indices. The Modified Instability Indices such as Modified Cross Total Index (MCT), Modified Vertical Total Index (MVT), Modified Total Totals Index (MTT), Modified SWEAT Index (MSWI), Modified K-Index (MKI) and Modified Energy Index (MEI) show greater instability of the troposphere in the morning as compared to CT, VT, TT, SWI, KI and EI. The critical values of different modified instability indices at 0000 UTC over Dhaka are: MCT >= 20° C, MVT >= 26° C, MTT >= 46° C, MSWI > 300, MKI >= 40° C and MEI < -6 joules/gm respectively for the nor’westers to occur in Bangladesh. The spatial distributions of modified stability indices have revealed that maximum instability lies over the area of surface low pressure especially over Bihar, West Bengal and adjoining Bangladesh at 0000 UTC on the dates of occurrence of nor’westers. Nor’westers occur at theeastern end of the maximum instability.

For severe nor’westers of tornadic intensity, the critical values of different modified instability indices at 0000 UTC over Dhaka are: MCT >= 20° C, MVT >= 28° C, MTT >= 50° C, MSWI >= 500, MKI >= 42° C and MEI < -8 joules/gm respectively for the nor’westers to occur in Bangladesh.
District-level forecast of northeast monsoon rainfall over Tamilnadu using Indian Ocean dipole mode index
Authors: SINGH O.P. , PRASAD ONKARI
Published: December 2021

The northeast monsoon season (October-December) contributes a substantial percentage of annual rainfall over Tamilnadu. The present paper describes a method for prediction of northeast monsoon rainfall (NEMR) over Tamilnadu on smaller spatial scale, i.e., district-level with sufficient lead time. Tamilnadu has been divided into ten homogeneous clusters of districts and the predictions are made for each cluster with lead times of two and one months using Indian Ocean dipole mode (IODM) index. A stronger western pole of IODM during August-September is associated with enhanced northeast monsoon activity over most of the districts of Tamilnadu. The predictions on the basis of regressions developed from NEMR and IODM index data have been validated for six years from 1997-2002. For many districts the mean errors between actual (realized) and predicted rainfall are within ±10%. Hence, using IODM index, it is possible to predict the NEMR activity over most of the districts of Tamilnadu with a lead time of two months, with only exception of NEMR over Kanyakumari which is not significantly correlated to IODM phenomenon.

Published: December 2021

The monsoon depression of September 2008, which crossed Orissa coast near Chandbali on 16th had contributed heavy rainfall over Orissa, Chhattisgarh and northern India along the track of the system. The sensitivity of three cumulus parameterization schemes viz., Kain-Fritch (KF) scheme, Grell-Devenyi (GD) scheme and Betts-Miller-Janjic (BMJ) Scheme are tested using high resolution advanced version (3.0) Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model in forecasting the monsoon depression.

The results of the present study shows that the genesis of the system was almost well captured in the model as indicated in 48hr forecast with all three convective parameterization schemes. It is seen that the track of monsoon depression is quite sensitive to the cumulus parameterization schemes used in the model and is found that the track forecast using three different cumulus schemes are improved when the model was started from the initial condition of a depression stage compared to that when it started from the initial condition of low pressure area. It is also seen that when the system was over land all the schemes performed reasonably well with KF and GD schemes closely followed the observed track compared to that of BMJ track. The performance of KF and GD schemes are almost similar till 72 hrs with lowest landfall error in KF scheme compared to other two schemes, whereas the BMJ scheme gives lowest mean forecast error upto 48 hr and largest mean forecast error at 72 hr. The overall rainfall forecast associated with the monsoon depression is also well captured in WRF model with KF scheme compared to that of GD scheme and BMJ scheme with observed heavy rainfall over Orissa, Chhattisgarh and western Himalayas is well captured in the model with KF scheme compared to that with GD scheme and BMJ scheme.
