In this study we examined the impact of weather variability and tides on the transmission of Barmah Forest virus (BFV) disease and developed a weather-based forecasting model for BFV disease in the Gladstone region, Australia. We used seasonal autoregressive integrated moving-average (SARIMA) models to determine the contribution of weather variables to BFV transmission after the time-series dat...

A Poisson regression between the observed climatology of tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) and largescale climate variables is used to construct a TCG index. The regression methodology is objective and provides a framework for the selection of the climate variables in the index. Broadly following earlier work, four climate variables appear in the index: low-level absolute vorticity, relative humidity...

Grassland fire is one of the most important disturbance factors of the natural ecosystem. Climate factors influence the occurrence and development of grassland fire. An analysis of the climate conditions of fire occurrence can form the basis for a study of the temporal and spatial variability of grassland fire. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of monthly time scale climate fact...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Transmission of dengue virus depends on the presence of Aedes mosquito. Mosquito generation and development is known to be influenced by the climate. This study was carried out to examine whether the climatic factors data can be used to predict yearly dengue cases of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. METHODS Monthly reported dengue cases and climate data for the years 2000-2008 ...

Measurements of surface O3 and carbon monoxide (CO) were made from September 2009 to August 2011 at Dangxiong (30.48°N, 91.10°E, 4187 m a.s.l.), a remote highland site in a southern valley of the Nyainqêntanglha Mountains in the Tibetan Plateau, China. The monthly mean O3 mixing ratio ranged from 29.1 to 51.4 ppb, with an average of 38.5 ppb, and the maximum value was observed in May. The avera...

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 This study analyzes the long‐term observed changes of mean (Tmean), maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperatures, relative humidity (RH) vapour pressure deficit (VPD) at different elevation ranges across Bolivia from 1950 to 2019. The linear trends in temperature series present a significant increase, with no substantial seasonal or spatial differences. On an annual basis, RH exh...

The regional climate of the Arabian Gulf (AG) and its variability are examined based on a 40-year (1980–2019), 5-km reanalysis Peninsula (AP reanalysis). AP fields were first validated against available observations over AG, suggesting that this high-resolution well reproduces spatio-temporal features AG atmospheric circulations. then analysed to examine climatic characteristics including month...
