Simulations of Adaptation-Oriented Strategy for Climate Variability
A coupled atmosphere-ocean-land model MSSG has been developed in the Earth Simulator Center, which is designed to model multi-scale interactions among the atmosphere, the ocean and the coupled system. In this project of this fiscal year, we focused on introducing computational optimization architecture to the MSSG to be run with maximizing the computational power of the Earth Simulator 2. As th...
متن کاملImpact of Climate Variability on Cool Weather Crop Yield in Ethiopia
The research examined effect of climate variability on yield of the two dominant cool weather cereals (wheat and barley) in central highland and Arssi grain plough farming systems of Ethiopia using eight round unbalanced panel data (1994-2014). The stochastic frontier model result revealed that production inputs for producing wheat and barley in the two farming system had significant effect. Cr...
متن کاملUnderstanding Farmer Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
The statistical models used in this study adapt the multivariate capabilities of structural equation models (SEMs) to handle variables with discrete ordered response categories. These models link the observed (categorical) response y i,j for item j by subject i to an unobserved continuous variable y * i,j through an ordinal probit model. An example for a five-category item would be: 1 if agree)...
متن کاملHow to Assist the Small-Scale Farmer
The key messages in my presentation are taken from the recently completed International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), which was approved by 60 developed and developing countries in South Africa in April, 2008. The IAASTD was co-sponsored by the World Bank, FAO, UNEP, UNESCO, UNDP, WHO and the GEF. The key findings of the Global Summary for Decision-...
متن کاملTenure Insecurity, Climate Variability and Renting out Decisions among Female Small-Holder Farmers in Ethiopia
Land tenure arrangements in Africa are generally skewed in favour of males. Compared to males, female plot owners face complex sets of constraints and systemic high tenure insecurity which culminate in low yields. In order to obtain better returns, some females rent their plots to males, but risk losing the plots to their tenants. A model has been constructed to explain renting-out decisions of...
