Fire-Weather Index and Climate Change
2020The Fire Weather Index (FWI), an indicator of fire potential, is calculated from weather measurements and thus expected to be responsive to climate change. The data were drawn from records of FWI within the years 1970 to 2018 and from 861 stations in British Columbia, Canada.

ChiWI—a road weather index for China
International Journal of Climatology, 2009AbstractApplication of Road Weather Information System (RWIS) for China is starting in an international perspective. However, the strong economic development during the last decades in China has caused a dramatic increase in the number of motorized vehicles, which calls for a quick development of RWIS and its application/services to safeguard the rapid

Dry weather flow yield as a geological index
CATENA, 1984Summary A residual flow diagram provides a snapshot of the flow throughout a river system in terms of its natural and artificial components. Under dry weather flow conditions, the natural component, if expressed in terms of yield per unit area is directly related to catchment geology and as such, can be used as an index of catchment behaviour ...

Meso-level weather index insurance
Agricultural Finance Review, 2015Purpose– Using cotton yield, and rainfall data from Tajikistan, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the magnitude of weather induced revenue losses in cotton production. Hereby the authors look at different risk aggregation levels across political regions (meso-level).

A Proposal for the “Cariño Index”: A New Coordination Index Based on Weather Conditions
2017Deciding “What to wear today” is an oftentimes pleasurable part of most people’s routine. However, especially at the turn of the season, wardrobe coordination often fails, leaving the individual feeling overly exposed or unnecessarily covered up. This premise is the basis of our proposal for the “Carino index”, which provides a reliable basis of ...

Abrasion pH, an Index of Chemical Weathering
Clays and Clay Minerals, 1969AbstractIf a series of rock samples with granitic composition in various stages of chemical weathering is ground in a mortar with distilled water and the pH of the slurry produced is determined, it will be evident that the pH declines as the weathering increases.

Measuring the Effects of Weather on Agricultural Output: Procedures for Constructing Weather Indexes
1962Excerpts from the report: In this study, the feasibility of constructing weather indexes on a comprehensive scale using a modification of Stallings' approach is investigated. For an empirical appraisal of the methodology of measuring yield variation due to weather, a pilot study of limited scope was undertaken.

The DSI - a dynamic weather and climate index
The Dynamic State Index (DSI) is a scalar diagnostic field that indicates deviations from a steady, adiabatic and inviscid atmospheric basic state. It is defined as Jacobian determinant of the potential voticity, the Bernoulli stream function and the potential temperature.Annette Rudolph +4 more
