Climate Adaptation of Tropical Cattle

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2017
There is sustained growth in the number of tropical cattle, which represent more than half of all cattle worldwide. By and large, most research in tropical areas is still focused on breeds of cattle, their particular advantages or disadvantages in tropical areas, and the tropical forages or feeds that could be usefully fed to them.

Climate and admissions for mania in the tropics

Journal of Affective Disorders, 1992
Seasonality of admissions for mania has been commonly reported. Most reports are from temperature zones. We analyzed admissions for mania covering a 9 year period and looked for any seasonal trends using existing methods. No seasonal variation was found. The hospital lies in the tropical zone with a relatively constant climate.

On Climate Prediction in the Tropics

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1986
Abstract Climatic disasters are common in many tropical regions, and rainfall anomalies in particular have a severe human impact. Accordingly, both the World Climate Programme and the U.S. National Climate Program have identified climate prediction as a major objective.

Past Climates of the Tropics

1985
The functioning of the tropical climate system was throughout this book considered from various perspectives, but always with emphasis on the modern time scale. This final chapter is a preliminary synopsis of climate and circulation conditions in the tropics in the geological past.

Glacial Climate in the Tropics

Science, 1996
During glacial cycles, different parts of the Earth cool by different amounts. A growing collection of evidence has begun to show that cooling in the tropical oceans was greater than previously thought. In his Perspective, Broecker discusses the oxygen isotope evidence reported by Schrag et al .

Seeding of Clouds in Tropical Climates [PDF]

Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1960
Warm-cloud seeding with spray or hygroscopic particles often dissipates small clouds but often initiates or increases rainfall from clouds that exceed 4000 ft in depth; seeding with dry ice or silver iodide in supercooled clouds; results of warm-cloud seedings in tropical clouds; new model of convective cloud fields to determine approach of individual ...

Tropical Deforestation and Climatic Change

Environmental Conservation, 1988
As tropical forest cover is eliminated, there appear to be—despite earlier supposition to the contrary—a number of significant repercussions for climatic regimes, whether at local, regional, or even global, levels. These are manifested through disruptions of hydrological systems and precipitation patterns, through changes in albedo and associated ...

A Climate Change Scenario for the Tropics

1998
This paper describes the construction of a climate change scenario for a region representing the ‘extended’ Tropics — 30° N to 30° S — using a methodology that combines results from a simple climate model and a Global Climate Model (GCM) transient climate change experiment.

The tropical environment and climate

2012
Alphonse de Candolle in 1855 proposed that the boundaries to major plant formations were set by climate. He suggested that the limits to deserts and grasslands were set by moisture, but that the latitudinal arrangement of the other plant formations indicated temperature as the dominant factor.
