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 ...

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, 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 ...

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 ...

Climate Variability and the Influence of the Sun
Science, 2001Recent studies show that small variations in the Sun's radiative output have an influence on Earth's climate. However, as [Haigh][1] points out in her Perspective, evidence for such an influence is difficult to obtain and mechanisms by which the solar signal might be amplified remain uncertain. She highlights the reports by [ Bond et al .][2], who show

Ecosystem sensitivity to climate variability
Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005Assessments of ecosystem sensitivity to climate variability are mostly qualitative. However, understanding the complex interactions between climate and ecosystems requires a quantitative analysis. In the present study, we developed a quantitative approach to assess ecosystem sensitivity to climate variability.

Socioeconomic Impacts of Climatic Variability
1988As outlined in Section 1 of this case study, climatic variability is a fundamental fact of life of Australian agriculture. It and its impacts have already been the subject of reviews from several other points of view (see, e.g., Williams, 1946; Rutherford, 1950; Everest and Moule, 1952; Anon., 1966; Campbell, 1966; Anon., 1967; Anon., 1968; Lovett ...

Climate Variability and Global Warming
Science, 2001Although uncertainties in global warming are many and varied, they are not as great as stated in the recent U.S. National Research Council (NRC) report ([1][1]). As Richard A. Kerr notes in his News of the Week article, President George W. Bush seized upon these uncertainties to justify the administration's limited response (“Bush backs spending for a ‘
