The results indicate a statistically significant increase in extreme rainfall at the expense of light, moderate, and heavy rainfall over time. The only negative relationship is found in dry days. The most statistically significant trends exist in the 99th percentile, maximum, and R100 parameters with p-values of 0.07, 0.08, and 0.11, respectively

This study investigated the changes in the climate and the spatiotemporal variations in climate extreme indices of the Dano catchment in Burkina Faso using historical data for the period 1981–2010 and projected for the period 2020–2049. Rainfall and temperature simulations from two RCMs under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) involved in the CORDEX-Africa project were used in this study

Apple being a temperate fruit is been widely grown under a large area in the Himalayan regions of India because of the favorable climatic conditions. Mountains are however amongst the most fragile experiencing extreme weather conditions, like rising temperature, uneven precipitation, spring hailstorms, and cold waves which severely affect the production of temperate crops.

Climate change has emerged as the most serious environmental challenges. It is necessary to evaluate its impacts on climate-vulnerable development sectors, such as agriculture. Human impacts on environment have resulted in altered environmental conditions that influence changes in abundance and diversity of insect pests. In the present study, an attempt was made to determine the impact of changes in the climatic conditions on grape crop in Tasgaon tehsil. Various weather parameters like rainfall, temperature and relative humidity were analyzed in the region.

Long-term drought predictions can provide valuable figures which helps to mitigate some of the magnitudes of drought. For prediction of any natural hazard previous observation and tools are required. Similarly for preparedness of natural hazard i.e. drought, rainfall data and SPI tool is required to analyze drought at different time scales accurately. The present study targets to identify drought using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for Ajmer district of Rajasthan using rainfall data collected from Rajasthan Water Resource Department.

This study represents the observed and projected changes in climate extremes in the context of climate change. A linear regression method was used to identify trends and variations of climate extremes in the past, while projected changes in climate extremes were detected based on dynamical downscaling and compared with the baseline period (1986-2005). The results show that daily maximum and minimum surface air temperatures (Txx, Tnn) increased considerably with the highest value of about 0.9o C/decade during the period of 1961-2014.

The unfavorable area occupies only 1% of total region and the four favorable rests account for 99% of total, in which, the most favorable area is largest with about 746,355 ha, i.e. over 50% of whole region. The three other areas are cultivable but they are less favorable in terms of either temperature or precipitation. Growing tea in Western Nghe An, even in favorable areas, it should be taken into account of the weather disadvantages in certain moments of the year such as extreme dry, cold, hot and rainy events.

Academic Article: Hot Weather Comparative Heat Balances in Pervious Concrete and Impervious Concrete Pavement Systems focuses on a site in Iowa where both a pervious concrete and a traditional concrete paving system have been installed and where temperatures were recorded within the systems for extended time periods. The analyses cover days with negligible antecedent precipitation and high air temperatures, which are extreme conditions for UHI impact.

The extremely heat-stable 5¢-methylthioadenosine phos-phorylase from the hyperthermophilic archaeonPyrococcus furiosuswas cloned, expressed to high levels inEscherichia coli, and purified to homogeneity by heat precipitation and affinity chromatography. The recombinant enzyme was subjected to a kinetic analysis including initial velocity and product inhibition studies. The reaction follows an ordered Bi–Bi mechanism and phosphate binding precedes nucleo-side binding in the phosphorolytic direction....

The same amount of water has been present on our planet for about 4 billion years, since shortly after the Earth was formed. Since then it has cycled through evaporation, condensation, precipitation and surface runoff multiple times. Water scarcity as an abiotic factor ranging from moderate to severe stress levels, accompanied by loss of moisture in the soil, is extremely hard for most organisms to cope with, particularly terrestrial plants and their food-chain dependents.

This book addresses the significant environmental changes experienced by high latitude and high altitude ecosystems at the beginning of the 21st century. Increased temperatures and precipitation, reduction in sea ice and glacier ice, the increased levels of UV-radiation and the long-range transported contaminants in arctic and alpine regions are stress factors that challenge terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Over the next 100 years, climate models suggest that warmer temperatures will very likely lead to greater climate variability and an increase in the risk of hydrologic extremes, i.e., floods and droughts. Perhaps the most significant and likely impact is a change in the timing of runoff in watersheds with large amounts of winter snowfall as higher temperatures lead to an increase in the ratio of rain to snow, faster snowmelt runoff, and earlier loss of snow.

As recent weather events have illustrated, coastal areas in both developing and more industrialized economies face a range of risks related to climate change (IPCC 2007a). Anticipated risks include an accelerated rise in sea level of up to 0.6 meters or more by 2100, a further rise in sea surface tempera- tures by up to 3° C, an intensification of tropical and extra tropical cyclones, larger extreme waves and storm surges, altered precipitation and run- off, and ocean acidification (Nicholls et al. 2007).

Any study forecasting conditions four decades hence will be faced with large uncertainties and these need to be borne in mind in interpreting the results of this study. One uncertainty concerns the pathway of GHG emissions. To address that issue, the city case studies examined both a high and a low GHG emissions scenario to bracket the likely future conditions. In the climate change downscaling methodologies, there are uncertain- ties in forecasting the increase in extreme and seasonal precipitation under the different sce- narios.

Late in 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, U.S. newspapers were filled with speculation as to whether New Orleans would continue to exist as a great and unique American city. Levee and floodwall failure had inundated large parts of the city and resulted in more than 1,500 deaths and catastrophic damage to property and the economy. In 2011, extreme amounts of precipitation, inadequate levees, and possible mismanagement of reservoirs contributed to widespread flooding around Bangkok, Thailand.

Rewarming Strategies The key initial decision is whether to rewarm the patient passively or actively. Passive external rewarming simply involves covering and insulating the patient in a warm environment. With the head also covered, the rate of rewarming is usually 0.5° to 2.0°C per hour. This technique is ideal for previously healthy patients who develop acute, mild primary accidental hypothermia. The patient must have sufficient glycogen to support endogenous thermogenesis.
