This work projected future extreme climate indices’ changes over Central Asia (The Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment—CORDEX Region 8). Changes were calculated for 2071–2100 relative to 1971–2000. simulations obtained by downscaling the RegCM4.3.5 50 km resolution under RCP4.5 and 8.5 with HadGEM2-ES MPI-ESM-MR. The results indicate that Asian domain will experience warmer more...

The study deals with a three-storey log house located in the suburbs of Ljubljana, Slovenia (temperate climate). Firstly, calibrated thermal model was defined. had an hourly NMBE between −2.12 % and 1.84 CV(RMSE) 3.16 3.57 %. Then, adaptive comfort during warmer part year assessed according to EN 16798-1 future climate (SRES A2 scenario). Additionally, various building-related organisational me...

This study evaluates the effect of statistical bias correction techniques distribution mapping and linear scaling on climate change signals extreme rainfall indices under different scenarios in Jemma sub-basin Upper Blue Nile Basin. The mean, cumulative function (CDF), mean absolute error (MAE), probability wet days (Prwet (%)), 90th percentile (X90 (mm)) observed regional model (RCM) simulatio...

Temperature, precipitation and wind extremes over Europe are examined in an ensemble of RCA3 regional climate model simulations driven by six different global climate models (ECHAM5, CCSM3, HadCM3, CNRM, BCM and IPSL) under the SRES A1B emission scenario. The extremes are expressed in terms of the 20-yr return values of annual temperature and wind extremes and seasonal precipitation extremes. T...

We present first results of XMM-Newton X-ray observations of the infrared cluster lying near the NGC 2071 reflection nebula in the Orion B region. This cluster is of interest because it is one of the closest regions known to harbor embedded high-mass stars. We report the discovery of hard X-ray emission from the dense central NGC 2071-IR subgroup which contains at least three high-mass young st...

Changing natural conditions determine the land's suitability for agriculture. The growing demand for food, feed, fiber and bioenergy increases pressure on land and causes trade-offs between different uses of land and ecosystem services. Accordingly, an inventory is required on the changing potentially suitable areas for agriculture under changing climate conditions. We applied a fuzzy logic app...

Climate change (CC) affects millions of people directly or indirectly. Especially, the effect CC on hydrological regime is extensive. Hence, understanding its impact highly essential. In this study, Bharathapuzha river basin (BRB) lying in Western Ghats region southern India considered for assessment, as it a complex and challenging watershed, due to varying topographical features, such soil te...

Using the measure of Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) it is analysed how changes in the thermal environment can affect human well-being. Historical data used in this study have been assembled for the normal climate period 1961–1990 (CNTRL). Future conditions are calculated based on the period 2071–2100, for which simulated datasets are available, based on GCMs integrated with scenar...

Climate change may significantly affect the hydrological cycle and water resource management, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this paper, output from the Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) regional climate model were used in conjunction with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to analyse the effects of climate change on streamflow of the Xiying and Zamu ...

[1] The Indian summer monsoon shapes the livelihood of a large share of the world’s population. About 80% of annual precipitation over India occurs during the monsoon season from June through September. Next to its seasonal mean rainfall, the day-to-day variability is crucial for the risk of flooding, national water supply, and agricultural productivity. Here we show that the latest ensemble of...
