How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.
