The goal of this study was to simulate the interaction using a numerical model. The phe- nomenon occurred under winter synoptic regime and could lead to wide spread showers over a band that cover most of the kingdom. A detailed synoptic de- scription of a case, where the interaction had occurred over west Africa, was discussed. It was shown that the invasion of cold air to the south of 30oN was a necessary trigger action for such interaction. In this case a south wind com- ponent was developed due to air mass thermal differences. The developed wind component caused a change in the direction of the subtropical jet from westerly to south-west. This caused northerly advection of moist air from the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) where deep convective cells existed. When a polar frontal system passed through the subtropical region and came in phase with the axis of the advected moisture tongue, rapid development of the system had occurred. In this case an active cloud band was formed and ex- tended from the tropics to the middle latitude wave.","PeriodicalId":254766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127797139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted in the tissue culture laboratory at the Department of Arid Land Agriculture, Faculty of Meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah. It aimed to study the effect of BA and IBA concentrations on shoot tips multiplication and rooting formation under Murashige and Skoog medium with Yucca elephantipes micropropagation. The results showed that BA with 2, 3 and 1 mg/l concentrations produced the highest number of developed vegetative branches with values of 8.750, 6815 and 5.625, respectively, but the zero BA did not produce any developed branches. No significant differences were shown for the vegetative branches heights under the effects of the studied BA concentrations (from 1 to 7mg/l). Also, the effects of IBA concentrations on rooting of plantlets of Yucca elephantipes roots under the Murashige and Skoog medium were studied. The results showed that the 1 mg/l IBA produced the highest number of roots (18) and equally significant with the 0.6 mg/l IBA which produced 14 roots. But it differed from the 0.2 and 0.4 mg/l concentrations which produced 10 roots. The highest root length was produced from the concentrations of 1 and 0.4 mg/l IBA with values of 15.666 cm and 14.813 cm, respectively.","PeriodicalId":254766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133541471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a simulation of a one-dimensional water \u0000movement in soil layers using Wave Model is presented. The model is \u0000utilized to investigate the groundwater recharge at varoius soil depths \u0000of Namman basin in western Saudi Arabia. The basin was divided into \u000035 sub-basins and the model was applied to the alluvial soils of the \u0000channels of the sub-basins. The study assumed that rainfall on \u0000moutainous areas of the basin will be transfered to the channels very \u0000fast and added to the direct rainfall as an accumulated water depth on \u0000the alluvium. Data of soil properties, soil-water relationship, rainfall \u0000and potential evaporation were collected for the study region and used \u0000by the model to estimate volumes of surface runoff, abstractions and \u0000groudwater recharge. Daily rainfall data for 1975 and 1980 which had \u0000largest and smallest annual rainfall depths during the period of the \u0000available rainfall records were used in the study. The results of the \u0000study indicated that values of infiltration rate were very high in most \u0000of the surface soil in the basin and their average was about 98% of \u0000rainfall volume. Most of runoff in Namman basin is produced by Yarij \u0000sub-basin and about a quarter of the hydrologic abstrations is \u0000contributed by Al-Shara sub-basin. Majareesh sub-basin has the \u0000largest contribution to groundwater rechage of Namman basin, while \u0000Arar and Yarij sub-basins have the smallest contributions.
