Weather Forecasting for Weather Derivatives [PDF]
We take a nonstructural time-series approach to modeling and forecasting daily average temperature in ten U.S. cities, and we inquire systematically as to whether it may prove useful from the vantage point of participants in the weather derivatives market. The answer is, perhaps surprisingly, yes.

This chapter argues that paying attention to the weather and its associated processes of geological, biological, and social weathering can destabilize knowledge traditions that insist on dichotomies. Looking to specific histories and current conditions in Guyana and Suriname, this chapter shows how notions of weathering can accommodate a wide range of ...

The weathering process of carbonatite: weathering time
Soil formation by rock weathering is driven by a combination of parent material, climate, organisms, topography, and time. Among these soil-forming factors, time plays a pivotal role in the weathering of carbonatite but it is a challenging factor to study quantitatively.

Departure, routing and landing decisions of long-distance migratory songbirds in relation to weather
Migrating birds flexibly adjust their individual migratory decisions, i.e. departing, routing and landing, based on intrinsic (e.g. energy stores) and extrinsic (e.g. landscape features and weather) factors modulating the endogenous stimuli.

Weathering, Erosion, and Susceptibility to Weathering [PDF]
Soft grounds are often the result of weathering. Weathering is the chemical and physical change in time of ground under influence of atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and nuclear radiation (temperature, rain, circulating groundwater, vegetation, etc.). Erosion is the removal of material on or below the Earth surface due to flowing (ground-

Can brassinosteroids help citrus to cope with disease and extreme weather?
Brassinosteroids (Brs) are a natural group of hormones which regulate different physiological and biochemical attributes in plants. We found that in citrus Br treatment induced a strong immune response that help young trees to cope better with diseases,

Weather Conditions, Weather Information and Car Crashes [PDF]
Road traffic safety is the result of a complex interaction of factors, and causes behind road vehicle crashes require different measures to reduce their impacts. This study assesses how strongly the variation in daily winter crash rates associates with weather conditions in Finland.
