In order to represent physical drivers, 4,500 virtual drivers are generated based on an anthropometric database-ANSUR.
It is shown that state tax incentives and physical drivers have a significant positive impact on wind energy growth.
All these results suggested various possible physical drivers that may contribute to the formation of the WSA, but their relative importance is not clearly identified.
A key component of resilience is to understand feedbacks among components of biophysical systems, such as physical drivers, ecological responses and the subsequent feedbacks onto physical process.
The generalization of climate change may apply to the physical drivers (such as El Niño southern oscillation), global-scale impacts (such as sea level rise), and on global benefits of mitigation to climate change (Locatelli 2011).
The recent widespread mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak in the Southern Rocky Mountains presents an opportunity to investigate the relative influence of anthropogenic, biologic, and physical drivers that have shaped the spatiotemporal patterns of the outbreak.
Advective heat fluxes between groundwater and surface water were likely the dominant controls on Ts, though the strength of these advective controls varied among catchments highlighting the importance of simultaneous catchment-scale and process-focused research to better elucidate the physical drivers influencing Ts response to disturbance.
This study analyzed the individual and joint influences of social, urban, and physical drivers on patterns of county-scale municipal water consumption (MWC) the for the state of Texas using a cross-sectional research design on three distinct temporal slices (1990, 2000, and 2010).
In common with other mesoscale iron addition experiments (FeAX's), SAGE was designed as a Lagrangian study, quantifying key biological and physical drivers influencing the air sea gas exchange processes of CO2, DMS and other biogenic gases associated with an iron-induced phytoplankton bloom.
