Weather, 2000
Solar radiation is the fundamental energy source for the atmosphere and the global average equilibrium temperature of the Earth is determined by a balance between the energy acquired by the solar radiation absorbed and the energy lost to space by the emission of heat radiation. The interaction of this radiation with the climate system is complex but it

Variability of the Earth’s Climate
2012The geothermal gradient delivers about 61.5 mW/m2 from the interior of the Earth to the surface. Since the surface area of the Earth¼5.1_108 km2, the rate at which energy is released from the interior of the Earth is 3.1_1010 kW. The solar power that impinges on the Earth is 342W/m2.

SOLAR VARIABILITY AND CLIMATE – A Summary
Space Science Reviews, 2000During the last decades our understanding of the space environment of the Earth has increased dramatically. This is primarily due to access to observations made outside our limiting atmosphere. The research that has been stimulated by these completely new data has had a great impact in many scientific fields, including astrophysics, planetary physics ...

Climate Variability and International Trade
2023This paper quantifies the impact of hurricanes on seaborne international trade to the United States. Using geocoded hurricane data mapped to satellite tracking data for commercial ships, we identify hurricane intersections on sea-trade routes between U.S. and foreign ports.

Natural climate variability and concepts of natural climate variability
1999Concepts of climate variability are formulated based on two frequently used definitions. One considers climate variability as the evolution of the mean climate conditions over time, the other considers second moments or frequencydecomposed covariances (i.e.

Climate Variability and Climate Change
2005Climate change and climate variability has received considerable attention from the scientific community in recent decades and has led to a better understanding ofv arious climate phenomena and driving mechanisms. This increased understanding of climate has also prompted policy makers to ask two important questions: (1) How can an improved ...

Fishermen's Perspectives on Climate Variability
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011Understanding fishermen's perspectives and responses relating to climate variability is important for sustainable fisheries management. To this end, a survey of captains of commercial passenger fishing vessels (CPFVs) was conducted in San Diego. The survey demonstrates that fishermen have observed and adapted to changes in the environment and fish ...

Climate Variability and Trends in Bolivia
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2013AbstractClimate-related disasters in Bolivia are frequent, severe, and manifold and affect large parts of the population, economy, and ecosystems. Potentially amplified through climate change, natural hazards are of growing concern. To better understand these events, homogenized daily observations of temperature (29 stations) and precipitation (68 ...

Boutonneuse Fever and Climate Variability
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Abstract: Researchers have long appreciated the role of climate in vector‐borne diseases, including the resurgence of boutonneuse fever (BF). Portugal usually is classified as having temperate Mediterranean climate. In this new century, in analyzing the data from the Meteorology Institute, this pattern has changed and an accentuated variability in ...

Climate Variability, Climate Change and Land Degradation
2007Effective response by government and individuals to the risk of land degradation requires an understanding of regional climate variations and the impacts of climate and management on condition and productivity of land and vegetation resources. Analysis of past land degradation and climate variability provides some understanding of vulnerability to ...
