Enhanced temperature variability in high-altitude climate change

Climate Variability and High Altitude Temperature and Precipitation

Variability in Temperature-Related Mortality Projections under Climate Change

BACKGROUND Most studies that have assessed impacts on mortality of future temperature increases have relied on a small number of simulations and have not addressed the variability and sources of uncertainty in their mortality projections. OBJECTIVES We assessed the variability of temperature projections and dependent future mortality distributions, using a large panel of temperature simulatio...

Climate change Effects of Surface soil temperature profile in Ahwaz

In arid and semi-arid regions, soil surface warming is a considerable phenomenon causing a high thermal gradient which makes water flow intensely. The degree of soil temperature is effective on crop production, plant growth and soil microorganisms. In recent years, the ascending trend of temperature has been substantially noticed by researchers in the issues of pointwise climate change and at w...

High-altitude Climate Zones and Climate Types

This chapter gives a brief analysis of basic factors influencing highland climates and peculiarities of atmospheric circulation caused by mountain systems. Special attention is paid to characteristics of highland climate which are manifested in regimes of temperature, precipitation, wind, solar radiation, etc. Typical and exclusive features of highland climates in different large-scale climatic...

Temperature variability in a changing climate

Concern about how climate variability in the future might be affected by global warming is widespread. A simple, powerful and commonly cited (standard) conceptual model for the impact of global warming on temperature variability is embodied by the supposition that current variability has a normal or Gaussian probability density function (PDF) and that global warming shifts this distribution to ...
