In each of the past 16 years, he reports in the Journal of Applied Meteorology, his new method for long-range winter rainfall forecasts for the eastern Mediterranean area would have been 100% accurate...

When the Mediterranean trough showed up near Italy during October and the corresponding Atlantic trough was located off the U.S. coast, Israeli winter rainfall was from 20% to 60% above normal. Krown also determined that in each of the three years of normal rainfall during the November...
