Observations from basal water-pressure sensors along the length of Bench Glacier, Alaska, USA, show that diurnal fluctuations of water pressure are seasonal and restricted to summer. Most notable about these fluctuations is their disappearance in the late summer and early autumn, long before the seasonal end of diurnal meltwater input. Here we present data documenting the end of diurnal water-p...

To investigate effects of diurnal thermal cycles on C-band polarimetric backscatter and millimeter-wave emission from sea ice, we carried out a winter experiment at the outdoor Geophysical Research Facility (GRF) in the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). The ice sheet grew from open sea water to a thickness of 10 cm in 2.5 days, during which we took polarimetric backscatt...

A worldwide climatology of the diurnal cycles of low clouds is obtained from surface observations made eight or four times daily at 3or 6-h intervals from weather stations and ships. Harmonic fits to the daily cycle are made for 5388 weather stations with long periods of record, and for gridded data on a 58 3 58 or 108 3 108 latitude–longitude grid over land and ocean areas separately. For all ...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the effects of treatment with a transurethral incision (TUI) for congenital urethral stenosis, which was accompanied by diurnal and nocturnal enuresis. METHODS We recruited 21 young males who presented to our department for the treatment of diurnal and nocturnal enuresis from January 2010 to March 2014. All patients underwent TUI due to urethral str...

In a laboratory population of unstriped Nile grass rats, Arvicanthis niloticus, individuals with two distinctly different patterns of wheel-running exist. One is diurnal and the other is relatively nocturnal. In the first experiment, the authors found that these patterns are strongly influenced by parentage and by sex. Specifically, offspring of two nocturnal parents were significantly more lik...

We examine the climatological diurnal cycle of surface air temperature in a 6-km resolution atmospheric simulation of Southern California from 1995 to the present. We find its amplitude and phase both have significant geographical structure. This is most likely due to diurnally-varying flows back and forth across the coastline and elevation isolines resulting from the large daily warming and co...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND/STUDY CONTEXT: The cortisol diurnal rhythm has previously been examined in relation to age and health behaviors. However, less is known about the relationship between multiple health behaviors and diurnal cortisol in the context of aging, where it is possible that the impact of health behaviors on cortisol varies as a function of age. This study compared the awakening resp...

PURPOSE To describe the pattern and magnitude of diurnal variation of choroidal thickness (CT), its relation to systemic and ocular factors, and to determine the intervisit reproducibility of diurnal patterns. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 12 healthy volunteers who each underwent sequential ocular imaging on two separate days at five fixed, 2-hour time intervals. Spectral domai...

Strong diurnal oscillations, documented by temperature data that were collected along a submarine cliff on the Lastovo Island (southern Adriatic), are studied and compared with sea level and wind measurements at Dubrovnik and Komiža (island of Vis). Three thermistors were deployed at the depths of 15, 22 and 36 m between March 2001 and March 2002. Pronounced diurnal temperature oscillations wer...
