This prompts the question: given climate scenarios, is it possible to assess future extreme low flow conditions from climate data indices (CDIs)?
Here we combine a modified Ollerenshaw risk index with the UKCP09 climate data to predict how climate change will influence fasciolosis risk, up to 2070.
Fig. 3 Results of the bootstrapped correlation analysis between tree-growth indices and monthly and seasonal climate data for (a) Schlossberg and (b) Eldena.
Because of the lagged influence of the oceanographic indices, we already possess real climate data that has yet to manifest itself in nesting females, N. Therefore we forecast nest surveys from 2010 forward, for a period equal to the optimum lag, λ.
The temporal case distribution is compared with available climate data and the index of peridomestic adult vectors, Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes, and case characteristics are examined across the age and sex of patients and across the surveillance method (active vs. passive).
Daily climate data is required to calculate fire index values and also act as drivers for the BIOME-BGC model.
The validated model was then applied to simulate vegetation growth (as changes in overstory and understory leaf area index; LAI), vegetation water-use and groundwater recharge using observed climate data for the period 1981 2012.
Published formulas for a common occupational heat exposure index, the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature), were used in combination with global gridded climate data to calculate heat exposure in 0.5° grid squares.
To calculate F. hepatica infection risk, the Ollerenshaw index was used, with some slight modifications due to the availability of climate data.
We investigated the spatiotemporal variations in vegetation cover using a Normal Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time-series data set obtained from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and climate data from 2000 to 2010.
