The palaeotemperature estimates from this study broadly agree with the global mean temperature estimates modeled by Roscher et al. [30], as well as the seasonal mean surface air temperatures during the climate perturbation (mass extinction) event modeled by Kiehl and Shields [26].
A study from a sub-tropical area of rural Bangladesh which used the average of lags 0 13 mean temperature estimated a 3.2% increase in natural mortality per 1°C drop in temperature across the temperature range observed, with stronger associations for cardiovascular and respiratory mortality and mortality among children and the elderly [ 6].
For a coaxial heat exchanger this paper develops an analytical model for the vertical temperature profiles, which can be used instead of the mean temperature approximation to estimate borehole resistance.
According to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the IPCC (2007) the A1B scenario leads to a "best estimate" global mean temperature increase of 2.8°C with a likely range of 1.7 to 4.4°C, and a global mean sea level rise of 21 48 cm.
This suggests that broad correlations between biomass and mean temperature may be insufficient to accurately estimate plant growth.
Climatic variables were annual estimates of mean temperature, mean temperature of the wettest quarter, mean precipitation, mean precipitation of the wettest quarter and length of the dry season (defined as the number of months when rainfall is below 150 mm).
Neither mean concentration of ozone nor mean temperature served to explain variation in the observed effect estimates.
Mean rainfall and mean temperature per month for the two areas were used to obtain estimates for Blantyre.
The mean temperature in January (TJan) and the mean temperature in July (TJul) were estimated from a multiple regression using latitude, longitude and elevation as predictive variables, and the data of 279 weather stations in China, over 1951 1980, were used to fit the regression model [51] (data were provided by the Department of Geography, Mainz University, Germany, http://www.webgis-china.de/).
We plotted these estimates to assess whether there was an interaction between temperature change and mean temperature on mortality.
