Information on crop yield at scales ranging from the field to global level is imperative for farmers and decision makers. The current data sources monitor yield, such as regional agriculture statistics, are often lacking in spatial temporal resolution. Remotely sensed vegetation indices (VIs) NDVI able assess using empirical modelling strategies. Empirical NDVI-based models were evaluated by co...

Precipitation trend analysis, on different spatial and temporal scales, has been of great concern during the past century because of the attention given to global climate change by the scientific community. According to some recent studies, the Italian territory has been suffering a precipitation decrease, especially in the last 50 years, and the southern areas seem to be more affected. The aim...

With the incorporation of Doppler radar radial velocity by MM5/3DVAR system, a Mei-yu frontal system related to a coming heavy rain episode over southwestern Taiwan was retrieved within the Taiwan Strait on 6 June 2003. Significant frontal wind-shift (the prefrontal southwesterlies/the postfrontal northeasterlies) was reproduced over ocean, which was not captured by the NCEP reanalysis and the ...

In this study, several regression models were employed to estimate global solar radiation from commonly available meteorological data such as sunshine duration, temperature, precipitation, and cloud cover for 34 meteorological stations of Bangladesh. The models studied were calibrated using five meteorological stations that are providing global solar radiation as well as other meteorological da...

On the limited urban area, precise measurement of meteorological data is not easy for the cost problem. The facilities collecting the data require high installment costs. The mobile sources can be a solution in city region. For example, a public bus on which some meteorological sensors are installed can act as moving information gathering station. The information is gathered on a server and agg...

Computer models used to predict building heating and cooling energy and occupant thermal comfort at present rely on climate data collected at a remote meteorological station. No account is taken of the changes in meteorological conditions caused by the urban developments, yet it is known the differences can be important. This paper reports on a project aimed at the development of a computer sim...

We describe how we are publishing RDF data about one of the meteorological stations that Irstea owns in its experimental farm at Montoldre. Our objective is to revisit previous work done by other researchers on the publication of meteorological Linked Data, and provide some recommendations and best practices based on our experience.
