To evaluate the cooling performance, evaluation indicators, including the maximum temperature, average temperature, temperature uniformity, and pressure drop are compared.
These included average annual mean temperature, average annual minimum and maximum temperature, average winter minimum and maximum temperature, average annual rainfall and total monthly rainfall in winter and in summer.
Evaluation indicators such as maximum temperature, average temperature, temperature uniformity, velocity and pressure drop are used to assess the cooling performance.
Site-wide estimates of near-surface lapse rates for monthly maximum temperature averaged 1.20°C, but estimates varied considerably by month, ranging from 0.10 to 1.36°C.
Here, weather variables may include one or more of the following covariates: current-day maximum temperature, average maximum daily temperature of previous 3 days, and current-day 24-hr average dew point temperature.
The daily maximum temperature averaged at 28.1 ± 0.8 °C, while the daily minimum was 21.2 ± 0.3 °C in the warm half of the pot.
The Casale Monferrato region has a sub-continental climate with annual precipitation varying between 600 and 1100 mm and an average mean annual temperature of 13.3 °C (minimum and maximum temperature averaged at 8.2 and 19.7 °C, respectively).
For each site, s(1), …, s(nψ), M t includes a row with elements representing an overall mean, maximum temperature, average wind speed, and two sinusoidal terms that capture seasonal cycles.
We considered as potential explanatory variables the interpolated values of altitude, precipitation, minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average temperature, and air pressure at all sentinel sites and we calculated 95% credible intervals (i.e. intervals derived from 2.5% and 97.5% quantiles of the chains of parameter estimates).
For each county, the values of the three variables of interest (daily maximum temperature, average wind speed, and relative humidity) were assumed to be equal to the values of those variables reported by the weather station closest to the centroid of the county.
