Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (Ta) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (Ts) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between Ta and Ts. The spatial and statistical characteristics of Ta − Ts dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

User‐Relevant Climate Indices and Associated Uncertainties From Transient Convection‐Permitting Climate Model Projections

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
A transient ensemble of convection‐permitting climate simulations is used to compute bias‐corrected user‐relevant climate indices for Germany under recent and future climate conditions, both considering high spatial resolution and uncertainty estimations. For high temperature indices, a clear increase is observed, for example, for hot days and tropical

Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides

Unveiling the Dual Role of Intellectual Capital in Value Creation and Financial Distress: Underlying Critical Moderators

open access: yesKnowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the extent to which intellectual capital (IC) supports firms' value generation and financial resilience, and how these effects are conditioned by profitability. IC is quantified using the “modified value‐added intellectual coefficient (MVAIC)” for a panel of 103 manufacturing firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange over
