[1] This paper analyzes and attributes spatial and temporal patterns of changes in the diurnal cycle of land surface air temperature in 20 simulations from 11 global coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models during the 20th century and the 21st century under the SRES A1B scenario. Most of the warming in the maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperatures from 1900 to 2099 is attributed...

Climate change affects the demand for energy consumption, especially for heating and cooling buildings. Using daily mean temperature (Tmean) data, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of the starting date for heating (HS), ending date for heating (HE), length (HL) and heating degree day (HDD) of the heating season in central heating zone of China. Over China's central heating zone, re...

Timing of reproduction in birds is important for reproductive success and is known to depend on environmental cues such as day length and food availability. However, in equatorial regions, where day length is nearly constant, other factors such as rainfall and temperature are thought to determine timing of reproduction. Rainfall can vary at small spatial and temporal scales, providing a highly ...

We propose a nonmonotonic extension of low complexity Description Logics EL⊥ and DL-Litecore for reasoning about typicality and defeasible properties. The resulting logics are called EL⊥Tmin and DL-LitecTmin. Concerning DL-LitecTmin, we prove that entailment is in Πp2. With regard to EL⊥Tmin, we first show that entailment remains EXPTIME-hard. Next we consider the known fragment of Left Local E...

We show in this paper that the common method of specifying ∆Tmin in design of heat exchanger systems may lead to wrong decisions and should be used with care. Although specifying ∆Tmin is reasonable for heat exchanger networks synthesis with given stream data, it should not generally be used for obtaining optimal design data and especially not stream data (temperatures). An alternative simple T...

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the effect urbanization on surface air temperature (SAT) from 1951 to 2018 in Philippines. The daily minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) records 34 meteorological stations were used derive extreme indices. These then classified as urban or rural based satellite night-lights. results showed significant difference SAT trends between stations, indicati...

Due to a wide range of socio-economic losses caused by drought over the past decades, having reliable insight properties plays key role in monitoring and forecasting situations, finally generating robust methodologies for adapting various vulnerability situations. The most important factor causing is rainfall, but increasing or decreasing temperature consequently, evapotranspiration can intensi...

Late frost damage is one of the main meteorological disasters that affect growth wine grapes in spring, causing a decline quality and reduction yield Northwest China. At present, remote sensing technology has been widely used field crop monitoring loss assessments, but little research carried out on late grapes. To monitor impact accurately quickly, this research, we selected Ningxia planting a...

It is critical to understand how meteorological variables impact reference evapotranspiration (ETo) since have a different effect on ETo. This study examined the of ETo Korean Peninsula under complex climatic and geographic conditions in order changed over past 42 years. Different geographical were analyzed, including plains, mountains, coastal areas seasonal annual basis. was estimated using P...
