    Climatology Climatic Zone 1320. At about what geographical latitude as average is assumed for the zone of prevailing westerlies? A) 10° N. B) 50° N. C) 80° N. D) 30° N. 1321. What is the type, intensity and seasonal variation of precipitation in the equatorial region? A) Rain showers, hail showers and thunderstorms occur the whole year, but frequency is highest during two periods: April-May and October- November. B) Precipitation is generally in the form of showers but continuous rain occurs also. The greatest intensity is in July. C) Warm fronts are common with continuous rain. The frequency is the same throughout the year D) Showers of rain or hail occur throughout the year; the frequency is highest in January. 1324. The reason for the fact, that the Icelandic low is normally deeper in winter than in summer is that: A) the strong winds of the north Atlantic in winter are favourable for the development of lows. B) the low pressure activity of the sea east of Canada is higher in winter. C) the temperature contrasts between arctic and equatorial areas are much greater in winter. D) converging air currents are of greater intensity in winter. 1328. The lowest relative humidity will be found: A) at the south pole. B) between latitudes 30 deg and 40 deg N in July.

  • Use of Spatial Technologies to Study the Winds' Directions in Rub' Al
    Journal of Earth Science and Engineering 5 (2015) 372-381 doi: 10.17265/2159-581X/2015.06.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Use of Spatial Technologies to Study the Winds’ Directions in Rub’ Al-Khali Desert, Saudi Arabia Ali Madan Al-Ali Albab for Environmental and Geo-Informatics Studies, P. O. Box 899, Saihat 31972, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia Abstract: Studying environmental phenomenon in Rub’ Al-Khali (Arabic name of “Empty Quarter”), as one of the largest deserts in the world, requires adopting some advanced spatial technologies in conjunction with the data recorded in the field in order to device better understanding. The paper utilizes the technologies of GIS (geographical information systems) and RS (remote sensing) in order to study large amount of weather data recorded in the field from different sources related to oil and gas industry in Rub’ Al-Khali desert. The main objective is to identify the wind directions and its movement in Kidan areas and the areas south and east of Shaybah in Rub’ Al-Khali desert. The study used different sources of data mainly recorded by the seismic campaigns’ base camps and the drilling rig camps or the civil works camps. Wind Roses were created for all metrological weather stations in the study area. Also, the study tried to analyze the dune types using satellite imageries and identify the relation of its shapes to the wind direction. The final aim of the result of this study is to help in planning best locations to build facilities for new major oil and gas project. Key words: Wind, oil, directions, roses, GIS.

Typically dry winds occur in theUNESCO arid temperate regions. Hot wi–nds ofEOLSS arid tropical and subtropical areas, with different local names, are similar to dry winds. The criterion of dry wind is a combination of air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Dry winds cause damage to agriculture in arid areas.

Dust storms are an intermittent component of the global process of wind erosion. Arid and semi-arid areas are important sources of aerosol, which reach the atmosphere during dust storms.

  • Shamals and Climate Variability in the Northern Arabian/Persian Gulf from 1973 to 2012
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. (2015) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/joc.4302 Shamals and climate variability in the Northern Arabian/Persian Gulf from 1973 to 2012 Fahad Al Senafi and Ayal *Anis Marine Sciences & Oceanography, Texas A&M University, Galveston, USA ABSTRACT: This paper presents key results from analysis of surface meteorological observations collected in the Northern Arabian/Persian Gulf (N Gulf; Kuwait, Bahrain, and NE Saudi Arabia), which spans a 40-years period (1973–2012). The first part of this study analyzes climate variability in the N Gulf, and relates them to teleconnection patterns (NorthAtlantic Oscillation, El Nino Southern Oscillation, and Indian Ocean Dipole). Results of the analysis indicate that during the study period the climate in the region experienced a general trend of increase in temperature (0.8∘C), decrease in barometric pressure (1 mbar), reduction in humidity (6%), and decrease in visibility (9%). Significant correlations were found between the three teleconnection patterns and the meteorological conditions suggesting that seasonal variabilities in air temperature, barometric pressure, and precipitation are closely related to the teleconnection patterns. The second part of this study examines the 40-year variability of Shamal events (strong NW winds that commonly generate significant dust storms). The data suggests that on average Shamal events occur at a rate of 10 events year–1 with 85% of the events occurring during the summer and winter. The number of these events has increased in the past 14 years of the study period. These events resulted in abrupt changes in meteorological conditions: an increase in wind speed of 2.7 m s–1, a decrease in visibility of 1.7 km, and reduction in humidity of 4.3%.

The objectives of this study are to estimate the economic impact of SDS on the oil and gas industry in Kuwait, to estimate a risk index for each loss, and to recommend a sustainable system for the mitigation of the damaging effects and economic losses of infrastructures. Hot spots of wind erosion, wind corridors, and dust frequency and severity formed the basis to locate the most susceptible oil and gas fields and operations. Ten sectors with potential loss vulnerabilities were evaluated: exploration, drilling, production, gas, marine, soil remediation, project management, water handling, maintenance, and research and development.

  • Peasants, Pastoralists, and Climate Crises in Ottoman Diyarbekir, 1840-1890
    BEYOND “THE DESERT AND THE SOWN”: PEASANTS, PASTORALISTS, AND CLIMATE CRISES IN OTTOMAN DIYARBEKIR, 1840-1890 by Zozan Pehlivan A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada February, 2016 Copyright ©Zozan Pehlivan, 2016 Abstract This dissertation refocuses attention from a ‘clash of cultures’ to a ‘clash of environmental economies’ within the eastern regions of the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire, particularly the province of Diyarbekir. An account of changing patterns of climate provides an alternative vantage point on the origins of inter-social relationships within this region. In the aftermath of intermittent climate-induced environmental crises, peasants and pastoralists confronted different challenges. Overall, crop-based economies could recover more quickly than herding-based economies. Given enough water and seed, and normal weather conditions, farmers could replant and expect good harvests the following season. However, pastoralists, who either lost or sold most of their animals as a result of lack of food and water needed many seasons of abundant grass and water to rebuild their herds to their former size. Examining episodes of severe climate in the Ottoman east in the 1840s and 1880s, this study presents evidence that the different timetables for recovery following episodes of environmental crisis were consequential for understanding changing relationships between people, land, and animals as well as relations between communities. ii Acknowledgements The history of this dissertation began on a September morning in 2011 in the Asian and African Studies Reading Room, located on the third floor of the British Library.
