Surface temperature, precipitation, specific humidity and wind anomalies associated with the warm and cold phases of ENSO simulated by WRF and HadRM are examined for the present and future decades. WRF is driven by ECHAM5 and CCSM3, respectively, and HadRM is driven by HadCM3. For the current decades, the ECHAM5-WRF, CCSM3-WRF and HadRM simulations are broadly consistent with the observed warm-...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between cold periods and coronary events, and the extent to which climate, sex, age, and previous cardiac history increase risk during cold weather. DESIGN A hierarchical analyses of populations from the World Health Organisation's MONICA project. SETTING Twenty four populations from the WHO's MONICA project, a 21 country register made between ...

the highest temperatures of the world are recorded in dry and warm climates. this can especially be observed in deserts, where vegetations and soil moisture are very low. as a result, the soil surface receives high thermal energy and its temperature rises up. the lut desert has the above characteristics, making it a suitable environment to prepare land surface temperature (lst) models. objectiv...

Somatotype and habitus parameters may affect physiological control system, so the changes of physiological parameters are not the same when various people work in hot-dry and warm-wet climates. In this paper, a chamber built in Tianjin University was used to simulate comfortable, hot-dry and warm-wet climates. Sixty healthy university students were selected as subjects who were divided into fou...

[1] The complex interactions between plants, soils, and climates in semiarid ecosystems make it difficult to define specific ecohydrological optimization mechanisms that underlie observed spatiotemporal patterns of vegetation structure. There remains a clear need to develop conceptual models that are capable of interpreting and predicting spatial pattern formation in savannas (and similar dry w...

geostatistical techniques were used to describe the spatial distribution of weeds, under conventional management conditions and theirs effect on wheat biomass production over the course of one growing season (2008-2009), in a wheat (triticum aestivum l.) field at research station of shahrood university, iran. weeds seedling were identified and counted at 121 points of field based on two interva...
