Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following for taking the time out of their already busy schedules to offer badly needed comments and suggestions regarding the content of this paper. Without their contributions, it would not have been possible. Thank you! (NOTE: This paper is still being reviewed. As more comments are received and incorporated, this list will grow – and so will my gratitude.) Introduction 4 Skeptic Arguments 5 a) The MSU record is the only truly reliable satellite analysis. 6 b) Climate Scientists prefer RSS only because it agrees with models. 8 c) UAH analyses have been independently validated by the radiosonde record.

بررسی اثرات تغییر اقلیم بر رواناب حوزه آبخیز قره چای در استان مرکزی
Climate change has a critical impact on water resources, especially in arid regions. In the first part of the study, the LARS-WG was used for downscaling of climatic variables including rainfall, solar radiation, minimum and maximum temperature over the Ghareh-Chay basin in Markazi province for a 31 year historical period (1983-2013). Results showed that LARS-WG can be applied successfully to d...
متن کاملUrmia Lake desiccation and the signs of local climate changes
The water crisis is one of the important issues in the Middle East countries. Many lakes are drying up and/or facing critical situations, exerting tremendous impacts on the socio-economics of their region. Lake Urmia, in northwestern Iran, currently is facing critical situations and is on the brink of total shrinkage and environmental disaster. This paper investigates the roots of crises t...
متن کاملTropospheric temperature trends: history of an ongoing controversy
Changes in atmospheric temperature have a particular importance in climate research because climate models consistently predict a distinctive vertical profile of trends. With increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, the surface and troposphere are consistently projected to warm, with an enhancement of that warming in the tropical upper troposphere. Hence, attempts to detect this distinct ‘fing...
متن کاملSpatial analysis of climate change in Iran
Introduction Climate change is the greatest price society is paying for decades of environmental neglect. The impact of global warming is most visible in the rising threat of climate-related natural disasters. Globally, meteorological disasters more than doubled, from an average of forty-five events a year to almost 120 events a year (Vinod, 2017). Climate change refers to changes in the distr...
متن کاملOn the Role of Radiative Processes in Stratosphere–Troposphere Coupling
Climate change in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) polar stratosphere is associated with substantial changes in the atmospheric circulation that extend to the earth’s surface. The mechanisms that drive the changes in the SH troposphere are not fully understood, but most previous hypotheses have focused on the role of atmospheric dynamics rather than that of radiation. This study quantifies the radi...
