Global Fire Forecasts Using Both Large‐Scale Climate Indices and Local Meteorological Parameters

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2019
AbstractFire forecasts that predict dry‐season fire activities several months in advance are beneficial for fire management. On a global scale, however, the predictability of fires is limited because fires depend on multiple factors and lack a single dominant predictor to describe diverse fire characteristics across regions.

Large‐scale meteorological control on the spatial pattern of wintertime PM2.5 pollution over China

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2019
The frequent episodes of severe air pollution over China during recent years have posed serious health threats to densely populated eastern China. Although several studies investigated the linkage between enhanced severity and frequency of air pollution ...

Climate influences on flood probabilities across Europe [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
The link between streamflow extremes and climatology has been widely studied in recent decades. However, a study investigating the effect of large-scale circulation variations on the distribution of seasonal discharge extremes at the European level is ...

Precipitation and temperature extremes and association with large-scale climate indices: An observational evidence over India

Journal of Earth System Science, 2022
Climate change exposes more frequent natural hazards and physical vulnerabilities to the built and natural environments. Extreme precipitation and temperature events will have a significant impact on both the natural environment and human society. However, it is unclear whether precipitation and temperature extremes increase physical vulnerabilities ...

Climate Indices, Water Temperature, and Fishing Predict Broad Scale Variation in Fishes on Temperate Reefs

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Determining what abiotic and biotic factors affect the diversity and abundance of species through time and space is a basic goal of ecology and an integral step in predicting current and future distributions.

Long-term trend analysis of extreme climate in Sarawak tropical peatland under the influence of climate change

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023
Extreme climate is one of the important variables which determine the capability of tropical peatland to act as either carbon sink and/or carbon source.

Information Entropy Suggests Stronger Nonlinear Associations between Hydro-Meteorological Variables and ENSO

Entropy, 2018
Understanding the teleconnections between hydro-meteorological data and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation cycle (ENSO) is an important step towards developing flood early warning systems.

Assessment of flood damage behaviour in connection with large‐scale climate indices

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2015
AbstractFlood damage assessment is a necessary tool in the planning of flood‐prone areas. There are several factors affecting the flood damages. It is not easy to detect these effective factors by classical methods. In this study, correlation coefficient and cross wavelet analysis are used to look for a possible connection between flood losses and ...

Changes in extreme precipitation patterns over the Greater Antilles and teleconnection with large-scale sea surface temperature [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics
This study examines changes in extreme precipitation over the Greater Antilles and their correlation with large-scale sea surface temperature (SST) for the period 1985 to 2015.
