Air Basins of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphometric parameters of these air basins have been characterized: area of influence upwind (4 parameters), slope (5 parameters), and distribution zone (5 parameter), and they are grouped together in five units by similar functional identity, utilizing multivariable analysis, cluster method, with a Euclidian distance of 48, significance level of 95, and correlation coefficient of 0.7132.

Real-time NWP simulations over north-Africa and Morocco using the Unified Environmental Modeling System (UEMS)
R. Moustabchir,H. Charifi +1 more
TL;DR: This work summarizes the achieved tasks of the implementation of a real-time NWP simulation using the Unified Environmental Modeling System (UEMS) over north-Africa and Morocco using the verification package of the Model Evaluation Tools (MET).
PERSPECTIVE Temporal ecology in the Anthropocene
E. M. Wolkovich,B. I. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that accelerating climate change has generated a current need to build an equivalent framework for temporal ecology and emphasise how a renewed, interdisciplinary focus on time would coalesce related concepts, help develop new theories and methods and guide further data collection.

Synoptic weather typing and typhoon with an application to Chiayi, Taiwan: potential for future climate change impact analysis
TL;DR: In this article, an automated synoptic weather typing was employed to identify the weather types most likely associated with daily typhoon/typhoon-related heavy rainfall events for Chiayi, Taiwan.
Comparison of stable environment in prior approved and non-prior approved horse stables
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared stable environment in stables with prior approval with stables without in order to investigate whether the prior approval process has a positive effect on stable environment of horse stables.
