In this study, the air temperature data obtained from “State Meteorological Service”, including 58 stations in Turkey for a period of 45 years between 19501994, was investigated. By using the yearly average temperatures, temperature time series were formed for mean temperatures for 58 stations. Gaussian smoothing, Mann-Kendall rank correlation and Wald-Wolfowitz serial correlation tests were ap...

Temperature is one of the most important climate variables that many economic and social plans related to its changes. Because of The importance of this issue, this study investigated the changes of it in the province Khuzestan. Meteorological data that used in this study is mean temperature in annual and seasonal timescale. The study area is Abadan, Ahwaz, Dezful and Omidiye stations. For anal...

Variability of urban fog during the last 50 years in Anhui Province (China) and its possible underlying mechanisms are analyzed based on daily meteorological records from 78 stations. The effects of urban development and aerosols on fog formation are discussed through an analysis of trends in fog frequency and comparison with a number of meteorological parameters, coal consumption and vehicle u...

Quantifying rainfall at spatial and temporal scales in regions where meteorological stations are scarce is important for agriculture, natural resource management and land-atmosphere interactions science. We describe a new approach to reconstruct daily rainfall from rain gauge data and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based on the fact that both signals are periodic and proporti...

Here, we analyse high-frequency (1 min) surface air temperature, mean sea-level pressure (MSLP), wind speed and direction and cloud-cover data acquired during the solar eclipse of 20 March 2015 from 76 UK Met Office weather stations, and compare the results with those from 30 weather stations in the Faroe Islands and 148 stations in Iceland. There was a statistically significant mean UK tempera...

so far a number of works on the heat flux anomalies of the earth surface based on the satellite images and underground water as seismic precursors have been carried out. in this paper the soil temperature data at 1m depth (deep enough to filter temperature variation due to high frequency meteorological forcings) has been considered to see if there are connections between earthquakes in bam and ...

Three decades of weather records at meteorological stations near Death Valley National Park are analyzed in an attempt to gauge the frequency of conditions that might form and erase the famous trails of wind-blown rocks in the mud of Racetrack Playa. Trail formation requires the playa to be wet, followed by strong winds and/or freezing conditions. Weather records are compared with a limited set...

A method is proposed for the interpolation of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures (Tx and Tn, respectively) at the regional scale, taking into account the atmospheric circulation patterns (CPs). The study region was in southeast France (150×250 km). Daily temperatures measured at 152 meteorological stations were available, and CPs from automatic classification performed every day by Mété...

The generation of meteorological surfaces from point-source data is a difficult but necessary step required for modeling ecological and hydrological processes across landscapes. To date, procedures to acquire, transform, and display meteorological information geographically have been specifically tailored to individual studies. Here we offer a flexible, integrated system that employs a relation...

The availability of long-term gridded datasets of precipitation, temperature, and other surface meteorological variables offers the potential for deriving a range of land surface conditions that have not been directly observed. These include, for instance, soil moisture, snow water equivalent, evapotranspiration, runoff, and subsurface moisture transport. However, gridding procedures can themse...
