Realizations of Daily Weather in Forecast Seasonal Climate

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2002
Stochastic daily weather time series models (‘‘weather generators’’) are parameterized consistent with both local climate and probabilistic seasonal forecasts. Both single-station weather generators, and spatial networks of coherently operating weather generators, are considered.

Age‐Specific Temporal Trends and Climate‐Associated Seasonality of Appendectomy in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated nationwide temporal trends, age‐specific changes, and seasonal variations in appendectomies in Japan using the national database of health insurance claims and specific health checkups (NDB). Methods Data on appendectomies (open [OA] and laparoscopic [LA]) were extracted from the 2018–2023 NDB Open Data.

Enhanced biogas production via dual‐layer model predictive control for thermophilic anaerobic digesters

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) is an attractive process due to its higher biogas yield compared to mesophilic digestion. To mitigate its higher heating demand and potential process instability, a dual‐layer control architecture comprising a decision‐making layer and an adaptive model predictive control (MPC) system is proposed.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Information Content of Seasonal Forecasts in a Changing Climate

Advances in Meteorology, 2013
We study the potential value to stakeholders of probabilistic long-term forecasts, as quantified by the mean information gain of the forecast compared to climatology. We use as a case study the USA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) forecasts of 3-month temperature and precipitation anomalies made at 0.5-month lead time since 1995.

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...
