Reduced insulin action in muscle of high fat diet rats over the diurnal cycle is not associated with defective insulin signaling [PDF]
Objective: Energy metabolism and insulin action follow a diurnal rhythm. It is therefore important that investigations into dysregulation of these pathways are relevant to the physiology of this diurnal rhythm.

Tropical Cyclone Diurnal Cycle as Observed by TRMM. [PDF]
Abstract Previous work has indicated a clear, consistent diurnal cycle in rainfall and cold cloudiness coverage around tropical cyclones. This cycle may have important implications for structure and intensity changes of these storms and the forecasting of such changes.

Diurnal cycle of precipitation in Estonia [PDF]
The diurnal cycle of precipitation in Estonia during the warm period (from April to October) is analysed separately at continental and coastal stations. The results were obtained using hourly data from the automated gauges at 13 stations in 2003–2013 as ...

Diurnal cloud cycle biases in climate models [PDF]
The timing of clouds is critical to the Earth’s energy balance. Here the authors show that in current climate models, clouds over the land tend to peak too early in the morning, reflecting less solar radiation than observed.

Identification of precipitation diurnal process using PERSIANN over Central Java Area [PDF]
The diurnal cycle is a process that repeats daily due to earth rotation. This cycle could significantly affect the hydrological conditions and lithosphere conditions, including humans.

Diurnal Cycle of Passive Microwave Brightness Temperatures over Land at a Global Scale
Satellite-borne passive microwave radiometers provide brightness temperature (TB) measurements in a large spectral range which includes a number of frequency channels and generally two polarizations: horizontal and vertical.

Annual Modulation of Diurnal Winds in the Tropical Oceans
Projections of future climate are sensitive to the representation of upper-ocean diurnal variability, including the diurnal cycle of winds. Two different methods suitable for time series with missing data are used here to characterize how observed ...

Beneficial role of diurnal smoothing for grid integration of wind power
Smoothing of generation variability, i.e. reduction of variance in the aggregate generation is crucial for grid integration of large-scale wind power plants. Prior studies of smoothing have focused on geographical smoothing, based on distance.

New fire diurnal cycle characterizations to improve fire radiative energy assessments made from MODIS observations [PDF]
Accurate near real time fire emissions estimates are required for air quality forecasts. To date, most approaches are based on satellite-derived estimates of fire radiative power (FRP), which can be converted to fire radiative energy (FRE) which is ...
