5 In this paper, wintertime precipitation from a variety of observational datasets, 6 regional climate models (RCMs), and general circulation models (GCMs) is aver7 aged over the state of California (CA) and compared. Several averaging method8 ologies are considered and all are found to give similar values when model grid 9 spacing is less than 3◦. This suggests that CA is a reasonable size for...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between weather and outdoor physical activity (PA). An online weather source was used to obtain daily max temperature [DMT], precipitation, and wind speed. An infra-red trail counter provided data on daily trail use along a greenway, over a 2-year period. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine associations between PA an...

Precipitation over Lake Victoria in East Africa greatly influences its water balance. Over 30 million people rely on Lake Victoria for food, potable water, hydropower and transport. Projecting precipitation changes over the lake is vital in dealing with climate change impacts. The past and future precipitation over the lake were assessed using 42 model runs obtained from 26 General Circulation ...
