Risk to health from extreme heat is gaining attention in scholarship and policy. Demographic socio-economic factors affect the extent which a person at risk heat, whilst empirical research of social vulnerability outside ‘Western’ context relatively limited. Many countries still rely on expert judgements draw locally specific for assessment. Yet, their view might not be evidence-informed result...

junglerice, c4 plant and thermo-live of poaceae family, is one of the most serious grass weed in the tropics and subtropics. to determine methods for breaking dormancy, characterizing cardinal temperatures and investigating the effect of salinity and drought on junglerice seeds germination four separate experiments were conducted in the laboratory. results showed that the junglerice seed dorman...

[1] Regional tropospheric water balance depends on local mixing rates, moistening and precipitation efficiency associated with cloud processes, and large-scale moisture advection. Conventional data sets are insufficient to disentangle how these processes affect the regional humidity, and models are limited by their need to parameterize many of the pertinent mechanisms, including precipitation e...

This study revisits the question posed by Hoskins on why the Northern Hemisphere Pacific sea level pressure (SLP) anticyclone is strongest and maximally extended in summer when the Hadley cell descent in the northern subtropics is the weakest. The paradoxical evolution is revisited because anticyclone buildup to the majestic summer structure is gradual, spread evenly over the preceding 4–6 mont...

Abstract Mountain regions have been recognized to be more sensitive climate and environmental changes, in particular global warming. Several studies report on elevation-dependent warming (EDW), i.e., when rates are different altitude ranges, particularly focusing the enhancement of with elevation. The Andean chain proved a relevant change hot-spot positive temperature trends widespread glacier ...
