Results from the generation of a multidecadal gridded climatic dataset for 57 yr (1950–2006) of daily and monthly precipitation (PTotal), maximum temperature (Tmax), and minimum temperature (Tmin) are presented for the important agricultural and forest products state of Wisconsin. A total of 176 climate stations were used in the final gridded dataset that was constructed at 8-km (5.09) latitude...

To test the accuracy of statistically downscaled precipitation estimates from numerical weather prediction models, a set of experiments to study what space and time scales are appropriate to obtain downscaled precipitation forecasts with maximum skill have been carried out. Fourteen-day forecasts from the 1998 version of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Medium-Range Fore...

Scale and corrosion control are big challenges in utilizing geothermal energy. In the production wells, during or after flashing, brineresults in higher pH, which can happen deep inside the well.Higher pH in combination with high temperature causes calcium carbonate precipitation. Silica/Silicate precipitation becomes a problem when the brine gets cold in the surface equipment and the rejection...

Global warming and then climate change are important topics studied by researchers throughout the world in the recent decades. In these studies, climatic parameters changes are investigated. Considering large-scaled output of AOGCMs and low precision in computational cells, uncertainty analysis is one of the principles in doing hydrological studies. For this reason, it is tried that investigati...

in this study, the artificial neural networks (anns) and regression models were used to downscale the simulated outputs of the general circulation models (gcms). the simulated precipitation for 25.18 º n to 34.51 º n and 45 º e to 60 º e, geopotential height at 850 mb and zonal wind at 200 mb for 12.56° n to 43.25° n and 19.68° e to 61.87° e data sets as the predictors were extracted from echam...
