Climate indices characterize climate systems and may identify important indicators for long-term precipitation, which are driven by climate interactions in atmosphere-ocean circulation.
We studied the landscape structure of one hundred cities around the globe, and their relation to demography (population), socioeconomic factors (GDP, Gini Index), climate factors (temperature and rain) and topographic characteristics (altitude, variation in altitude).
These data were mainly tree-ring width series, indexed climate series based on historical written documents, ice-core isotopic series and pollen-based series.
In this study, we demonstrate the use of proxy indices in combination with the climate indices to reconstruct a historic practical wave power climate from 1665−2005.
It's 8th, 16th, 25th or 46th best, depending on whether you're consulting the Small Business Survival Index, the State Business Tax Climate Index, the Economic Freedom Index or the Competitiveness Index.
Füssel, H.-M. Review and Quantitative Analysis of Indices of Climate Change Exposure, Adaptive Capacity, Sensitivity, and Impacts (World Bank, Washington, 2009).
This section presents the indices of climate extremes as defined in section 4.
In the publication by Kirschbaum and Wirth, an index of climate change, the climate index 'KI', was introduced[11].
We therefore propose a new index, the Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI), based on the results herein.
We therefore propose a new index, the Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI) that provides a quantitative measure of the state of the thermosphere.
