Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of an extensive study on precipitation patterns and intensities in the central and north-central regions of Utah, conducted by an anonymous author. The study used data collected at 25 precipitation intensity stations, located in the Wasatch Range and the Wasatch Plateau at elevations ranging between 4,350 and 10,150 feet. Rainfall records were analyzed for storms occurring between May and October over a period of 10 or more years, with one station having 30 years of data. The analysis focused on various aspects of precipitation, including record consistency, definition of precipitation zones, intensity-duration-frequency characteristics, monthly precipitation depth and number of storms, storm occurrence by hour and storm duration. The book provides detailed insights into the relationship between elevation, precipitation intensity, and storm patterns. It aims to establish a better understanding of rainfall variability in mountainous areas, which is particularly crucial for hydrologists, wildlife managers, and watershed protection specialists. The study found that the precipitation intensity-duration-frequency characteristics vary significantly with elevation and location, with the highest intensities expected in the mid-elevation zones. The book also highlights the importance of considering the source of moisture and atmospheric instability mechanisms in understanding storm occurrence patterns. The significance of this book lies in its comprehensive analysis of precipitation characteristics in these mountainous regions, providing valuable data and insights that can contribute to effective water resource management, flood control strategies, and conservation efforts in similar environments.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the ecology of the Amazon River. It synthesizes the work of numerous scientists who have studied the river and its surrounding rainforest. The book begins with an overview of the history of scientific exploration in the region, dating back to the 16th century. It then provides detailed descriptions of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the Amazon River and its floodplain. The book also explores the interactions between the river and the rainforest, and how human activities are affecting the ecosystem. The book concludes by discussing the importance of the Amazon River to the global climate system and the need to protect it from further degradation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ecology of the Amazon River and its rainforest, and for anyone concerned about the future of this vital ecosystem.
