Change in climatic extremes over mainland China based on an integrated extreme climate index
An Integrated Extreme Climatic Index (IECI) is defined for analyzing the overall trend of change in the frequencies of major extreme climatic events over mainland China. The index is composed of 7 individual extreme indicators, i.e. the country-averaged frequencies of high temperature, low temperature, intense precipitation, dust storm and strong wind events, meteorological drought area percent...
متن کاملFood intakes and weight changes in climatic extremes.
Nutrition and physical performance 113 I have to repeat again, and apologize for, my inability to give much indication of the effect of ageing on total daily energy expenditure.

متن کاملProjected Changes in Temperature Extremes in China Using PRECIS
Temperature extremes can cause disastrous impacts on ecological and social economic systems. China is very sensitive to climate change, as its warming rate exceeds that of the global mean level. This paper focused on the spatial and temporal changes of the temperature extremes characterized by the 95th percentile of maximum temperature (TX95), the 5th percentile of the minimum temperature (TN5)...
متن کاملCultivated Land Changes and Agricultural Potential Productivity in Mainland China
With rapid and continuous population growth and the associated declining quality of cultivated land, food security in China has been attracting the attention of scholars both domestically and internationally.

متن کاملFuture changes in hydro-climatic extremes in the Upper Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra River basins
Future hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may pose serious threats for the livelihoods in the upstream domains of the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra. For this reason, the impacts of climate change on future hydrological extremes is investigated in these river basins. We use a fully-distributed cryospheric-hydrological model to simulate current and future hydrological fluxes and for...
