continuous and lengthy droughts in previous years not only in the southern provinces of iran but also in the whole country necessitate optimized water management. indian ocean and adjacent seas in south of iran are suppliers of part of the humidity in the region and the variation on indian ocean sea surface temperature has an important role in evaporation from oceans and input humidity into atm...

the present study modeled how future terrestrial net primary productivity (npp) changes spatiotemporally for the eastern mediterranean biomes of turkey using carnegie ames stanford approach (casa) model, moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis) data, the four regional climate change scenarios (rcp 2.6, rcp 4.5, rcp 6.0 and rcp 8.5), and such ancillary data as percent tree cover, la...

temperature and precipitation are two climatic variables haveing the most significant impact on the variability of crops yield. in this study, the relationship between rainfed barley yield, temperature and rainfall were assessed with both simple correlation and iterative chi-square analysis for eastern azerbaijan in four districts (tabriz, maragheh, sarab and miyaneh). the iterative chi-square ...

BACKGROUND Malaria incidence is largely influenced by vector abundance. Among the many interconnected factors relating to malaria transmission, weather conditions such as rainfall and temperature are known to create suitable environmental conditions that sustain reproduction and propagation of anopheles mosquitoes and malaria parasites. In Ghana, climatic conditions vary across the country. Und...

artificial neural networks (anns) have become one of the most promising tools for rainfall simulation since a few years ago. however, most of the researchers have focused on rainfall intensity records as well as on watersheds, which generally are utilized as input records of other hydro-meteorological variables. the present study was conducted in kechik station, golestan province (northern iran...

Animal reproductive cycles are commonly triggered by environmental cues of favourable breeding conditions. In arid environments, rainfall may be the most conspicuous cue, but the effects on reproduction of the high inter- and intra-annual variation in temperature remain poorly understood, despite being relevant to the current context of global warming. Here, we conducted a multiyear examination...
