Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate data contains rich information and show high dimensions. Through exploring the data trajectory of climate data, climate change can be forecasted. Climate data is typical high-dimensional data, unlike shallow structures, deep structures have more advantages in handling high-dimensional data...
Ecology, environmental change and management
Soil moisture heavily influences the energy exchange between land and the atmosphere, and it plays an important role in ecological systems. Quantitatively acquiring soil moisture information is important for agricultural production, ecological protection and other processes. The current range of...

Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant formed by photochemical reactions in the atmosphere, significantly contributing to air pollution, particularly in global cities and economically developed regions. The escalating O3 concentration has emerged as a critical air pollution concern in China. When near...
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The concentration of ozone in the earth atmosphere has been steadily falling by 4% in the total amount since late 1970. With the widespread usage of modern industry chlorofluorocarbons, the rate at which ozone content decreases is escalating, resulting in an ozone hole. The depletion permits harmful...

Biofuels obtained from renewable sources are the only alternative in the global economy from a sustainable point of view. Microalgae have shown tremendous potential as a major source of biomass production that can be used as biofuels. At the same time, gas hydrogen is a non-polluting energy source...
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The Heihe River is the second longest inland river in China, which is one of the most important inland river basins in the northwest area. The effect of drought on ecological environment can be exacerbated by climate change. Eco-water diversion project was implemented since 2000 to solve the...

High-speed railway (HSR) is severely affected by precipitation disasters. There are many studies on precipitation and precipitation disasters, most of which are precipitation and analysis of disasters caused by precipitation, and few explain climate changes caused by precipitation. This paper uses...
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The Maluku Islands (henceforth MI) are situated in the northeastern Indonesia. Ocean region off the central MI is pivotal as it provides a course for the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) through the Lifamatola passage. However, sea surface dynamics off the central MI is unknown until recently due to...
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate data composes of time series and space series with unknown. These unknown series contains complex co-variation relations of climate data. The extraction of these relations is essential for further revealing the complex representations between time series and space series in climate data. As...
Water Resources Management
Hydrological modeling of a watershed is necessary for water resources planning and management. The hydrology of upper Ribb watershed has been analyzed using spatially semi-distributed Soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model. This study aimed to determine the water balance components and its...
Water Resources Management
Isotope mass balance in lake systems is strongly correlated with several climatic factors such as temperature, evaporation, precipitation and air moisture. On the other hand, the sedimentary budget of lake basins driven by climate, tectonic and/or human impact is an essential pool of environmental...
Water and Wastewater Treatment
A dynamic mathematical model, based on the biochemical kinetic processes dominated in shallow free water systems was developed following the Activated Sludge Model (ASM) methodology. The model predicts plant mass and water uptake rate, BOD 5 and total nitrogen (TN) removal on a year round basis...
Climate Change Impacts and Societal Adaptation in the Indian Subcontinent
Civilization has been experiencing frequent changes in the climate due to global warming. The developing nations are worst affected as they are largely dependent on the local precipitation and soil moisture for their livelihood generations. The changing climate with extended summer, change in the...
Air Quality
In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the prognosis of maximum surface ozone concentrations due to the adverse effects on human health, animal population, agricultural productivity and forestry. The present study deals with the development and application of Artificial Neural...
Hydrology and water resources
In this paper the influence of key meteorological variables in Penman evaporation method was explored. Monthly data over a 16-years period (1993-2008)were used from Thissio-Athens meteorological station. The climatic parameters of surface air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and sunshine...

Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in local, regional meteorology, visibility, air pollution, haze formation and energy balance of radiation. These processes influence the climate directly or indirectly. Therefore, for increasing importance of aerosols in understanding the various...
General
A method for automated circulation patterns (CPs) definition and classification is presented, based on optimized fuzzy rules. The target of the method is to provide a basis (daily classified CPs) for downscaling of the most common climate data, i.e. precipitation and temperature. Therefore the...
General
In the present study, the spatial and temporal surface air temperature variability for the Northern Hemisphere has been examined, for the period 1900-1996. Factor Analysis has been applied to 5o Latitude x 10o Longitude grid box data covering the area from almost the equator to 70o N. These data are...
