The Effects of Variations in Mean Temperature and Frost Risk
1988Villagers identify frost as one of the major hazards in the Ecuadorian highlands (see Section 3), and a considerable area is uncultivated owing to excessive frost risk or excessively low temperatures. This section explores the vulnerability of traditional agriculture to possible variations in mean temperature and frost risk. After an initial discussion

Frosting Behavior of Superhydrophobic Nanoarrays under Ultralow Temperature
Langmuir, 2017Retarding and preventing frost formation at ultralow temperature has an increasing importance due to a wide range of applications of ultralow fluids in aerospace and industrial facilities. Recent efforts for developing antifrosting surfaces have been mostly devoted to utilizing lotus-leaf-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces.

Low Temperature and Frost as Environmental Factors
1987Cold and frost are important environmental factors limiting the productivity and distribution of plants (Dilley et al. 1975; Larcher 1981a; Larcher and Bauer 1981). In tropical mountains air temperatures below 8° to 10 °C and soil temperatures below +15 °C set the limits for the altitudinal range of chilling-sensitive wild plants and plantation crops ...

Temperature Insurance: An Alternative to Frost Insurance in Citrus
Journal of Farm Economics, 1953PRIOR to the creation of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation through Title 5 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, there were a number of attempts at all-risk crop insurance by private companies. Without exception, these ventures into general crop insurance by private companies have been short lived.

Feedback of intracrown temperature heterogeneity on vulnerability to frost
2021Trees are exposed to large spatio-temporal thermal variation. Temperature heterogeneity can induce intracrown discrepancies in the onset and the dynamic of primary and secondary growth and, furthermore, in meristem frost resistance. In late spring, freezing events could be more detrimental to the southern part of the tree, which is likely to exhibit ...

Frost and High Temperature Injury in China
2005Frost and high temperature injury are two important agrometeorological disasters in China. In this paper, the concept of frost and its differences from other low temperature injuries are presented. Recent studies on injury mechanism of frost are introduced.

Frost Temperature Relations for Defrosting Sensing System
Volume 1, 2004To develop a better defrosting control system on finned evaporators of a refrigeration system, a study is conducted to better quantify the frosting and defrosting processes by using an infrared thermometer to determine the frost surface temperature.

Frost Formation on a Cylinder at Cryogenic Temperatures
1995During the course of an earlier investigation to determine the. minimum insulation that would prevent the formation of liquid air on bare cryogenic transfer lines carrying liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen, it was evident that ambient conditions were extremely important and that frost had some insulating value.

A Procedural Approach to Forecasting Nocturnal Air Temperature for Frost Prediction
6th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Computer and Information Science (ICIS 2007), 2007Accurate forecasting of nocturnal air temperatures for frost prediction can lead to the development of effective strategies for damage reduction to the crops due to seasonal frost formation. A Real-time forecasting system must be able to run on low power computing machines and must be able to be deployed in the field where sight specific historic ...

The influence of thermal inertia on temperatures and frost stability on Triton
Icarus, 1992It is presently argued, in view of (1) a thermal inertia model for the surface of Triton which (like previous ones) predicts a monotonic recession of permanent N2 deposits toward the poles and very little seasonal N2 frost in the southern hemisphere, and (2) new spectroscopic evidence for nonvolatile CO2 on Triton's bright southern hemisphere, that ...
