Abstract: ctual evaporation in the Yangtze River basin is calculated by the complementary relationship approach?that is, the advection?aridity (AA) model with parameter validation from 1961 to 2007?and simulated by the general ...

Abstract: n a changing climate, understanding the frequency of weather extremes is crucial to improving the management of the associated risks. The concept of weather index?based insurance is introduced as a new approach in weather ...

Abstract: Time series of the average annual Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) and standardized precipitation index (SPI) were calculated for 483 meteorological stations in China using monthly data from 1961 to 2005. The time ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the complementary relationship between actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and potential evapotranspiration (ETp) was verified in the Tarim River basin (TRB) in northwest China. The advection?aridity ...

Abstract: Spatial and temporal characteristics of precipitation trends in the Zhujiang River basin, South China, are analyzed. Nonparametric trend tests are applied to daily precipitation data from 192 weather stations between 1961 ...
