Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Human Thermal Comfort and Relationships With Large‐Scale Climate Indices Along Ghana's Coastal‐Urban Corridor From 1980 to 2020

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

Bioclimatic strategies and environmental comfort: integrated analysis of conflicts

, 2021
Environmental comfort is considered one of the main factors of satisfaction and productivity in offices. When it is obtained bioclimatically and the advantages related to energy saving, it results in environmentally dynamic spaces, which is considered a factor of good quality in a place.

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...

Assessment of Human Thermal Stress Dynamics and Regional Drivers Across the Arabian Peninsula During 1990–2022 From Observations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The results reveal that thermal stress varies substantially across the four AP regions, with winter cold stress in Region I, year‐round heat stress in Region II, pronounced summer heat stress in Region III, and persistent strong to very strong heat stress from late spring to early autumn in Region IV.
