Climate model simulations' outputs are prone to biases compared observations; furthermore, climate projections can be very different in modelling future temperature characteristics. One possible solution for reducing uncertainty and eliminating systematic errors within is the bias-adjustment of raw data. We used quantile mapping method a mini ensemble consisting 8-member high-resolution (0.11°)...

Some studies have suggested that variations in the seasonal cycle of temperature and season onset could affect efficiency use radiation by plants, which would then yield. However, study temporal variation extreme climatic variables is not sufficient China. Using trend analysis (STA), this article evaluates distribution seasonality trends mainland China, describes cycle, detects changes characte...

The purpose of this research is to analyze heat waves characteristics in the warm period of the year as a climatic hazard in Iran. In this study, the daily maximum temperature is taken at 44 synoptic stations during the period 1981-2010. These temperature values were used to extract the intensity, frequency and duration of heat waves using percentile thresholds of 90, 95, and 98. The results sh...

One of thesources of infection as a result of coronavirus disease treatment is the medical waste generated during the health care activities. Since the registration of the first infected case of coronavirus in Jordan the daily number of patients fluctuated from as low as zero to as high as 40 with a recovery ratio and case fatality risk of 39% and 1.7%, respectively. The main objective of the p...

We describe a new laser-based hygrometer for ambient water vapor monitoring which uses a fiber-optic coupled, near-infrared diode laser in conjunction with high frequency wavelength modulation spectroscopy. The instrument operates unattended, uses little power, can be extremely compact, and exhibits high detection sensitivity. This instrument was flown on a KC-135 aircraft for a period of six m...

Permafrost-affected soils cover about 40–45 % of Canada. The environment in such areas, especially those located within the discontinuous permafrost zone, has been impacted more than any other by recorded climatic changes. A number of changes, such as surface subsidence and the degradation of frost mounds due to permafrost thawing, have already been observed at many locations. We surveyed three...
