The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for example, has an index of climate-policy stringency for 2011.
Using persistence in streamflow, existing indices of climate, and sea surface temperature (SST) expansion coefficient time-series from singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, this work developed probability of exceedance streamflow forecasts for multiple stations, seasons, and lead-times.
This section presents the indices of climate extremes as defined in section 4.
In many parts of the world, DTR is becoming smaller with climate changes (13), and in fact the DTR is described as an index of global climate changes.
In the model, these relations are expressed as an inverse-U shaped seasonal function of germinability G = (- S 0.1 if S < 0, else G = 0 (Fig. 7), where S is the seasonal index of the climate module.
Dendrochronological proxy records have provided spatial and temporal indices of interannual climate variability over several centuries in all inhabited continents (Speer, 2010).
This is done by constructing an index of vulnerability to climate change that takes into account both the ecological exposure of these regions to climate change as well as the socio-economic vulnerability and the coping capacity of its inhabitants.
This is done by constructing an index of vulnerability to climate change that takes into account not only the ecological exposure of these regions to climate change but also the socio-economic vulnerability and the coping capacity of its inhabitants.
Moreover, field patterns of 500 hPa vertical velocity anomalies related to each climate index have further corroborated the influences of climate indices on the drought behaviors.
The Ifo index of the business climate fell for a fifth consecutive month, to 104.2 in September.Norway's central bank increased its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 5%, because of strong domestic demand.
