Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Subseasonal Predictability of Weekly Rainfall and Rainy Season Onset Over East Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the subseasonal predictability of weekly rainfall and rainy season onset over East Africa using the ECMWF extended range forecast model. Results show strong skill in forecasting weekly rainfall up to 4 weeks ahead, with higher accuracy during the March–May ‘long rains’ season.

Changing Water Resources in the Indus Basin: A Multi‐Model Budyko‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Budyko‐based analysis evaluates historical (1962–2005) and future hydroclimatic change across the Indus River Basin. Budyko shifts indicate rising atmospheric evaporative demand and increasing energy limitation under future scenarios. ABSTRACT Assessing hydroclimatic variability and future water availability is crucial for sustainable water‐resource ...

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Fritz Scheffer Under National Socialism: Assessing His Political Involvement

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This article examines the role of soil scientist Fritz Scheffer (1899–1979) under National Socialism and offers a critical assessment of his scientific, institutional, and political positioning between 1933 and 1945. It asks how Scheffer shaped his career within the tension between disciplinary specialization, political expectations, and ...

Serviceability of Materials in the Tropics

Journal of Architectural Engineering, 2004
With increasing complexity in the building construction trend and the advancement of building material technology, more building materials and substitutes have evolved and been adopted for use to function together in a building that is supposed to maintain its technical performance during its intended working life.

The wear of material in humid-tropical conditions

Wear, 1993
Abstract Humidity and temperature have played an important role in the wear of materials in general and particularly cast iron and steel. In this paper we present experimental results on the wear of steel depending on a variety of humidities under various temperatures (this is part of the tribology programme in Vietnam). The experimental results also

Choice of materials for tropical radio equipment

Journal of the British Institution of Radio Engineers, 1946
This paper is a brief guide which should assist in the examination of radio and similar equipment to decide whether or not it is suitable for tropical use.

Geophagy in the tropics: an appraisal of three geophagical materials

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 1997
Geophagy, the deliberate consumption of soil, is a common practice amongst the world's poorer or more tribally oriented people of the tropics. An appraisal of three geophagical samples suggests that Fe is a mineral nutrient which can be supplied to humans in significant amounts via ingested soil. Geophagy provides a direct link between the geochemistry
