Adjustments to data observed at pairs of climate stations have been recommended to remove the biases introduced by differences between the stations in time of observation, temperature instrumentation, latitude, and elevation. A new network of climate stations, located in rural settings, permits comparisons of temperatures for several pairs of stations without two of the biases (time of observat...

in this paper the minimum temperatures of 54 weather stations collected for a 31-year period were analyzed for zoning the frost regions in iran. the results of this study show that the average of the number of frost days per year was 62, and the average temperature was 3 degrees of centigrade below zero. dey the tenth month in the iranian calendar, december 22-january 20 with an average of 28, ...

today, climate change is one of the most important scientific and even the political – social issues. the causes of climate change can be divided into natural and human - made. natural factors have the long-term performance and long history, such as the cycle of solar activity, dusts and gases of volcanic eruptions, geodetic and static agents and etc. human-made factors was mainly formed and ac...

Influenza is a worldwide respiratory infectious disease that easily spreads from one person to another. Previous research has found that the influenza transmission process is often associated with climate variables. In this study, we used autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots to determine the appropriate autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model for influenza transmissi...

Little is known about tree height and height growth (as annual shoot elongation of the apical part of vertical stems) of coniferous trees growing at various altitudes on the Tibetan Plateau, which provides a high-elevation natural platform for assessing tree growth performance in relation to future climate change. We here investigated the variation of maximum tree height and annual height incre...

Most dendrochronological studies focus on cores sampled from standard positions (main stem, breast height), yet vertical gradients in hydraulic constraints and priorities for carbon allocation may contribute to different growth sensitivities with position. Using cores taken from five positions (coarse roots, breast height, base of live crown, mid-crown branch and treetop), we investigated how r...

the aim of this paper is detection of exist of significance climatic trend in west-half of iran. it’s used monthly data of 16 climatic variables on 12 selected synoptic stations in period of 50 years statistic(1951-2000). the variables divided to two temperature and humid groups. the analysis methodology of the study is based on multivariable statistical analysis and box- jenkins forecasting mo...

OBJECTIVE Numerous published reports have linked various disease states and pregnancy-related conditions with meteorologic factors such as weather, humidity, and temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine if temperature and dew point affect the incidence of pyelonephritis during pregnancy. METHODS A retrospective chart review of a 4-year period from 1989 to 1992 was performed. Th...

introductionclimate change has played an important role in all aspects of human life. therefore, climatepredictions in atmospheric general circulation models (gcm) will have particular importance.in this study, downscaling by a1b scenarios, ipcm4 and bcm2 of atmosphere generalcirculation models in lars-wg model are used for analysis of climate change impacts onmaximum and minimum temperature, s...
