BACKGROUND Extremely high temperatures over many consecutive days have been linked to an increase in renal disease in several cities. This is becoming increasingly relevant with heatwaves becoming longer, more intense, and more frequent with climate change. This study aimed to extend the known relationship between daily temperature and kidney disease to include the incidence of eight temperatur...

this analysis was conducted on 31 synoptic stations in iran. initially, the mann-kendall test was administered in order to analyse the trend of alterations of these two components over time and the results suggest that 16% of the stations show significant relationship with annual precipitation (positive and negative). more stations showed significant relationships between sunspots and minimum a...

an increase, even moderate, in global temperature is expected to result in a change in frequency of extreme weather events like drought, heavy rainfall and storms. the study of extreme events is difficult due to the fact that it is difficult to find long-term homogeneous data series. also the delimitation of extreme events is not univocal since a parameter value that would be defined as an extr...

[1] Monthly mean surface air temperature data from 463 meteorological stations, including those from the 1981–2007 ordinary and national basic reference surface stations in east China and from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) Reanalysis, are used to investigate the effect of rapid urbanization on temperature change. These...

since many time series are not normal, it is required to normalize data by transformation functions prior to any analysis and modeling. in this study, the next month rainfall of abadeh county station was predicted using the average monthly rainfall, minimum and maximum temperatures and minimum and maximum humidity as inputs of mlp network, both normally and raw, at period 1976 to 2013. after sc...

abstract accurate prediction of hourly minimum temperature is required for various crop models which simulate photosynthesis and transpiration. such data can be used for crop protection and reducing the crops injuries due to freezing as well. our objective of this study is employing trigonometric and pattern recognition (k-nn) approaches to evaluate their potential in prediction of hourly tempe...

OBJECTIVE Numerous published reports have linked various disease states and pregnancy-related conditions with meteorologic factors such as weather, humidity, and temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine if temperature and dew point affect the incidence of pyelonephritis during pregnancy. METHODS A retrospective chart review of a 4-year period from 1989 to 1992 was performed. Th...
