Weather condition is one of the much effective factors in the principle of architecture and urbanization. So in this research long-term trend of effective climate elements in architecture of Darab city including mean of minimum temperature, temperature mean, mean of maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, maximum relative humidity, relative humidity mean, wind speed and sun hours in mon...

Hydrologic data has traditionally been collected with permanent installations of sophisticated and accurate but expensive monitoring equipment at limited numbers of sites. Consequently, observation frequency and costs are high, but spatial coverage of the data is limited. Citizen Hydrology can possibly overcome these challenges by leveraging easily scaled mobile technology and local residents t...

with respect to wide distribution of a. sieberi besser in iran, various studies have been done on its habitats and different ecological properties have been referred as effective factors in establishment of this species. in this research, we tried to study the ecological range of a. sieberi and its relationship with vegetative characteristics. therefore, climate properties including annual prec...

Ectotherms, such as insects, experience non-constant temperatures in nature. Daily mean temperatures can be derived from the daily maximum and minimum temperatures. However, the converse is not true and environments with the same mean temperature can exhibit very different diurnal temperate ranges. Here we apply a degree-day model for development of the grape berry moth (Paralobesia viteana, a ...

climatological parameters are among the most important ecological capability evaluation criterias, on other hand, climate changes which has intensified in the past decades and has the consequences such as; increases in climatic threshold phenomena like occurrence of horrific floodings, destructive hurricanes, abnormal and sudden colds and heats, untimely rainfalls and heavy snows, widespread dr...

BACKGROUND In the context of climate change, an efficient alert system to prevent the risk associated with summer heat is necessary. The authors' objective was to describe the temperature-mortality relationship in France over a 29-year period and to define and validate a combination of temperature factors enabling optimum prediction of the daily fluctuations in summer mortality. METHODS The s...

We theoretically study the statistics of record-breaking daily temperatures and validate these predictions using both Monte Carlo simulations and 126 years of available data from the city of Philadelphia. Using extreme statistics, we derive the number and the magnitude of record temperature events, based on the observed Gaussian daily temperature distribution in Philadelphia, as a function of t...
