چکیده

[1] In the Essence project a 17-member ensemble simulation of climate change in response to the SRES A1b scenario has been carried out using the ECHAM5/MPIOM climate model. The relatively large size of the ensemble makes it possible to accurately investigate changes in extreme values of climate variables. Here we focus on the annual-maximum 2m-temperature and fit a Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution to the simulated values and investigate the development of the parameters of this distribution. Over most land areas both the location and the scale parameter increase. Consequently the 100-year return values increase faster than the average temperatures. A comparison of simulated 100-year return values for the present climate with observations (station data and reanalysis) shows that the ECHAM5/MPI-OM model, as well as other models, overestimates extreme temperature values. After correcting for this bias, it still shows values in excess of 50 C in Australia, India, the Middle East, North Africa, the Sahel and equatorial and subtropical South America at the end of the century.

Functional Analysis of Iranian Temperature and Precipitation by Using Functional Principal Components Analysis

Extended Abstract. When data are in the form of continuous functions, they may challenge classical methods of data analysis based on arguments in finite dimensional spaces, and therefore need theoretical justification. Infinite dimensionality of spaces that data belong to, leads to major statistical methodologies and new insights for analyzing them, which is called functional data analysis (FDA...

Adsorption of argon from sub- to supercritical conditions on graphitized thermal carbon black and in graphitic slit pores: a grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation study.

In this paper we consider the adsorption of argon on the surface of graphitized thermal carbon black and in slit pores at temperatures ranging from subcritical to supercritical conditions by the method of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation. Attention is paid to the variation of the adsorbed density when the temperature crosses the critical point. The behavior of the adsorbed density versus ...

Seasonal and altitudinal effects on glucocorticoid metabolites in a wild primate (Theropithecus gelada).

Behavioral ecologists are increasingly adopting sophisticated non-invasive methods for measuring glucocorticoids from "excreta" because samples are easy to collect, animals are left undisturbed, and measures may be more reflective of external events than serum samples. Some of the most common predictors for hormone profiles in wild animals are seasonal changes in ecology and behavior. For examp...

Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles and investigation of Nanofluid Application in Machining Process

The quality of machined workpieces, particularly precious metals, is the main goal of every machining process. A suitable cutting fluid can substantially affect the machining outcome. The study is novel in that it uses nanofluids in the machining process to mitigate the adverse effects of high temperatures and friction. Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the modified Humme...
