Abstract: AbstractThreshold indices of extreme temperature are defined based on temperature values that fall above or below fixed thresholds and thus have important implications for agriculture, engineering, and human health. Here, ...

Abstract: Daily precipitation data from worldwide stations and gridded analyses and from 18 coupled global climate models are used to evaluate the models' performance in simulating the precipitation frequency, intensity, and the ...

Abstract: Daily precipitation data from climate change simulations using the latest generation of coupled climate system models are analyzed for potential future changes in precipitation characteristics. For the Intergovernmental ...

Abstract: The effects of surface roughness and Reynolds number on the characteristics of aerodynamic forces and pressures on a semicylindrical roof have been investigated in a wind tunnel. Simultaneous pressure measurements on smooth ...
