SHELLENBARGER, G.G. and SCHOELLHAMER, D.H., 2011. Continuous salinity and temperature data from San Francisco estuary, 1982–2002: Trends and the salinity–freshwater inflow relationship. Journal of Coastal Research, 27(6), 1191–1201. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The U.S. Geological Survey and other federal and state agencies have been collecting continuous temperature and salinity ...

The study examines long-term changes and short-term fluctuations in ambient temperature of North East India during 1901-2003 located in part of the Eastern Himalayan region of the Brahmaputra Basin. Long-term linear trends were examined with the Mann-Kendal rank statistic and moving average method while the short-term fluctuations were studied by applying Cramer’s test. The results showed signi...

Changes in climate during the 20th century differ from region to region across the United States. We provide strong evidence that spatial variations in US temperature trends are linked to the hydrologic cycle, and we also present unique information on the seasonal and latitudinal structure of the linkage. We show that there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between trends in d...

The impact of ozone-depleting substances on global lower-stratospheric temperature trends is widely recognized. In the tropics, however, understanding lower-stratospheric temperature trends has proven more challenging. While the tropical lower-stratospheric cooling observed from 1979 to 1997 has been linked to tropical ozone decreases, those ozone trends cannot be of chemical origin, as active ...

As applications grow in capability, they also grow in complexity. This complexity in turn gets pushed into modules and libraries. In addition, hardware configurations become increasingly elaborate, too. These two trends make understanding, debugging and analyzing the performance of applications more and more difficult. To enable detailed insight into library usage of applications, we present an...

As medical information becomes increasingly available and individuals take a more active role in managing their personal health, it is essential for scholars to better understand the general public's information-seeking behavior. The study reported here explores the use of the World Wide Web to seek health information in a contemporary information-media environment. Drawing from uses and gratif...

OBJECTIVES There is growing interest in engaging patients in healthcare research, which raises important questions about the factors that may promote such engagement. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between patient characteristics and three aspects of patient engagement in the medical research process: awareness, interest, and actual participation. METHODS Cross-secti...

[1] This study compares the global distribution of 20th century SST and marine air temperature trends from a wide variety of data sets including un‐interpolated archives as well as globally‐complete reconstructions. Apart from the eastern equatorial Pacific, all datasets show consistency in their statistically significant trends, with warming everywhere except the far northwestern Atlantic; the...

A record-breaking temperature is the highest or lowest temperature at a station since the period of time considered began. The temperatures at a station constitute a time series. After the removal of daily and annual periodicities, the primary considerations are trends (i.e., global warming) and long-range correlations. We first carry out Monte Carlo simulations to determine the influence of tr...
