However, the average annual minimum temperatures used by Smithwick, et al. [14] were expected to increase 4.7°C (HAD) to 9.1°C (CCC) (i.e., 0.044°C/y and 0.086°C/y), which falls within our projection data (Figure 3).

Few studies conducted indicate that a strong positive relation exists between hailstorm activity and hailstorm damage, as predicted by minimum temperatures using simple correlations.
We estimated the minimum threshold temperature using data from Harman et al. (1990).
The concept of minimum temperature approach used in heat exchanger design was applied to determine the optimum membrane area for large scale DCMD plants.
A dataset, on a 10 km×10 km grid, consisting of monthly radiation, rainfall, maximum temperature and minimum temperature was used to drive crop simulation models to predict average yields, for each grid square.
Consequently, the minimum temperature was used in reported models.
First, we tested the situation when, instead of using the 1st and 99th percentiles of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, we used the respective 5th and 95th percentiles.
Daily mean temperatures (ie, averaged values of maximum and minimum temperatures) were used to investigate the effects of heatwaves on mortality in these three cities.
However, in planning new research, a variety of other metrics (e.g., mean, maximum, or minimum temperature) can be used to measure heat exposure, and several additional considerations are important for deciding whether to use heat index rather than another exposure metric for environmental health research.
