Non-Stationary Modelling of Extreme Temperatures in a Mountainous Area of Greece

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2016
The generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution is often fitted to environmental time series of extreme values such as annual maxima and minima of temperatures.

Population dynamics modify urban residents’ exposure to extreme temperatures across the United States

open access: yesScience Advances, 2019
Daily commute substantially increases urban residents’ exposure to heat waves and slightly alleviates exposure to cold waves. Exposure to extreme temperatures is one primary cause of weather-related human mortality and morbidity.

Influence of Sample Preparation and Processing Procedures on the Thermal Diffusivity of MgO‐C Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The thermal diffusivity of MgO‐C refractories is highly sensitive to sample preparation and processing procedures. In this article, the effects of coking sequence, machining conditions, structural inhomogeneity, and graphite coating application on measurements using laser flash apparatus are systematically investigated.

Impacts of Vegetation Greening on Summer Mean and Extreme Land Surface Temperatures in Eastern China

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Vegetation greening in China is known to cool the land surface by altering the energy budget through biophysical processes. However, its mitigation effects on extreme temperatures and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Pitfalls in diagnosing temperature extremes

open access: yesNature Communications
AbstractWorsening temperature extremes are among the most severe impacts of human-induced climate change. These extremes are often defined as rare events that exceed a specific percentile threshold within the distribution of daily maximum temperature. The percentile-based approach is chosen to follow regional and seasonal temperature variations so that
