Quantifying rainfall variability and potential hazards of extreme events in Beijing through stochastic simulations

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The city of Beijing, China. Study focus: Beijing is affected by heavy rainfall in summer, which may trigger urban floods. These risks make long rainfall records valuable for extreme rainfall analysis, given the complex spatiotemporal ...

Effects of long-term deforestation and remnant forests on rainfall and temperature in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Forest Ecosystems, 2017
Background Some evidence suggests that forests attract rain and that deforestation contributes to changes in rainfall and temperature. The evidence, however, is scant, particularly on smaller spatial scales. The specific objectives of the study were: (i)

Systematic Study of Weather Variables for Rainfall Detection [PDF]

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
Numerous weather parameters affect the occurrence and amount of rainfall. Therefore, it is important to study these parameters and their interdependency. In this paper, different weather and time-related variables -- relative humidity, solar radiation, temperature, dew point, day-of-year, and time-of-day are analyzed systematically using Principal ...

Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...

Characterizing the variability and trend of rainfall in central highlands of Abbay Basin, Ethiopia: using IMERG-06 dataset

European Journal of Remote Sensing
This study examines the spatiotemporal variability and trends of rainfall in the central highlands of Abbay Basin using the Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG-06) dataset. Parameters on onset and cessation dates, dry spells, Coefficient

Adaptive and Highly Efficient Thermoregulation Based on Multi‐Dimensional Janus Film

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A switchable TiO2/MXene/PDMS Janus membrane enables dual‐mode radiative cooling and solar heating, achieving sub‐ambient cooling of 17.89°C and above‐ambient heating of 13.82°C. Adaptive temperature regulation was demonstrated with a low power integrated autonomous smart curtain system, providing a sustainable and energy‐efficient alternative for ...

Spatial variability of rainfall on a sub‐kilometre scale [PDF]

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2009
AbstractThe variability of rainfall in space and time is an essential driver of many processes in nature but little is known about its extent on the sub‐kilometre scale, despite many agricultural and environmental experiments on this scale. A network of 13 tipping‐bucket rain gauges was operated on a 1·4 km2 test site in southern Germany for four years

Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Dryland Vegetation Functional Response to Altered Rainfall Amounts and Variability Derived from Satellite Time Series Data

Remote Sensing, 2016
Vegetation productivity is an essential variable in ecosystem functioning. Vegetation dynamics of dryland ecosystems are most strongly determined by water availability and consequently by rainfall and there is a need to better understand how water ...

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.
