Climate change is one of the leading issues affecting river basins due to its direct impacts on cryosphere and hydrosphere. General circulation models (GCMs) are widely applied tools assess climate but coarse spatial resolution GCMs limit their application for local studies. This study selected five CMIP5 (CCSM4, HadCM3, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3 CanESM2) performance evaluation ranked by Nash–Sutclif...

Precipitation is an important meteorological indicator that has a direct and significant impact on ecology, agriculture, hydrology, other vital areas of human health life. It therefore essential to monitor variations this parameter at global local scale. To predict long-term changes in climate elements, Global Circulation Models (GCMs) can provide simulated global-scale climatic processes. Due ...

Climate change is likely to have severe effects on water availability in Ethiopia. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of climate change on the Gilgel Abay River, Upper Blue Nile Basin. The Statistical Downscaling Tool (SDSM) was used to downscale the HadCM3 (Hadley centre Climate Model 3) Global Circulation Model (GCM) scenario data into finer scale resolution. The Soil and W...

Emerging system-area networks provide a variety of features that can dramatically reduce network communication overhead. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of such features on the implementation of Software Distributed Shared Memory (SDSM), and on the Cashmere system in particular. Cashmere has been implemented on the Compaq Memory Channel network, which supports low-latency messages, protec...

MODIS Protoflight Model, launched on-board the NASA EOS Terra spacecraft on December 18, 1999, has been in operation for more than two years, providing the science community calibrated data sets for the global studies of the land, oceans, and atmosphere. MODIS has 36 spectral bands, covering the spectral range from 412 to 14200 nm, and provides spatial resolutions of 0.25 km (2 bands), 0.5 km (...

today climate change is one of the most important human concerns this fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...
