Air temperature is the primary indicator of climate change. Reanalysis products are important datasets for estimates over high-elevation areas with few meteorological stations. However, they contain biases in observations, so a bias correction required to enhance accuracy modeling predictions. In this study, we used lapse-rate method correct ERA-Interim reanalysis-temperature data Qilian Mounta...

Pan measurement is a reliable and efficient method for indicating the evaporative demand of the atmosphere. There are several types of pan evaporimeters worldwide, and the estimation of the conversion coefficients (Kp) between them is necessary in hydrologic research. In China, E601B pans were installed at all meteorological stations beginning in 1998. They replaced the 20 cm pans (φ20). To ful...

1. introduction during the past decade, many efforts for investigating the relationship among air pollution and meteorological factors have been undertaken and some statistical methods have been proposed. population increase and technological advancement were among the factors affecting creation and extension of air pollution in big cities, forcing large cities all over the world to contemplate...

Several studies have determined that Mexico has great renewable energy potential, and one of its most abundant resources is solar energy, a source that could be exploited to provide development opportunities to its population, however it is necessary to calculate the amount of this source available. The aim of this study was to assess solar irradiance at urban communities in the Baja California...

Here we analyze the impact of four planetary boundary-layer (PBL) parametrization schemes from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction model on simulations of meteorological variables and predicted pollutant concentrations from an air quality forecast system (AQFS). The current setup of the Spanish operational AQFS, CALIOPE, is composed of the WRF-ARW V3.5.1 mete...

Original scientific paper Hydrological simulation in meteorological ungauged areas has always been a difficult problem for the study on atmospheric and hydrological coupling; meanwhile, it is also one of the important factors that restrict model development and basin water resource knowledge. To analyze the mechanism of atmospheric and hydrological coupling, this study quantitatively evaluated ...
