Large-scale hydrological models simulate the water cycle for regions, countries, and continents. The choice of input data directly impacts accuracy these models' final output spatial temporal pattern, as well quality (air temperature precipitation), influences pattern availability estimates. It is essential to acknowledge that estimates depends on used.In this regard, precipitation air gridded European Meteorological Observations (EMO1) datasets specifically used modeling inputs (CWATM) are...

Mountain regions are particularly vulnerable to natural hazards, such as snow avalanches, landslides, or flash-flooding, which increasingly exacerbated by climate warming and changing patterns. This paper leverages the Copernicus Regional ReAnalysis for Europe (CERRA) dataset, with 5 km x spatial resolution, from Climate Change Service (C3S), covering period 1985–2020, analyse of seasonal patterns depth snowfall in two major European mountain ranges: Alps Carpathians.

Land degradation (LD) and desertification (DS) are a sensitive global issue including southern south-eastern Europe, which is severely affected by climate change. In this study, state-of-the-art approach for assessing the intensity of LD DS processes using remote-sensing-derived indicators within GIS environment was proposed. The analysis carried out Principal Component Analysis based on integrating significant trends relevant biophysical parameters in Romania. methodology tested validated...

Study Region: Romanian territory and the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. focus: We provide a consistent picture of long-term changes in relevant snow cover characteristics, including phenology (timing onset melting), duration, frequency snow-free days Romania, from 1961 to 2020, that could be for understanding regional dynamics terrestrial water resources. New hydrological insights: The trend behaviour shows different between elevation bands Koeppen-Geiger climate regions which may play...

The widespread availability of Land Surface Temperature (LST) data from various sources presents a contemporary challenge for urban climate studies: how to efficiently compare these with the results traditional methods temperature monitoring, which typically assume measurements at 2 m under sheltered conditions. In this line, current study is based primarily on extracted network 31 points hourly monitoring level (Tair2m), in use between 2019 and 2021, city Suceava north-eastern Romania....

Using MODIS and Landsat LST images, the present paper advances a series of results on characteristics surface heat island (SUHI) Bacău City (Romania) during warm season (April to September) for period 20 years (2001–2020). At same time, given their higher temporal resolution availability both day night, was used understand spatial features SUHI in relation land use. In this way, total 946 Terra 483 satellite images were outline main days with clear sky middle-sized city northeast Romania....

Respiratory infectious diseases are highly influenced by climate and feature seasonality, whose peak is December to February in the Northern Hemisphere. SARS-CoV-2 produced consistent debate regarding relationship between its emergence weather conditions. Our study explored these conditions, expressed three main parameters—ultraviolet radiation, air temperature relative humidity—that characterized Hubei (China), source region of COVID-19 pandemic, November 2019–March 2020. During outbreak,...

Abstract Four climate parameters (i.e. maximum, mean and minimum air temperature precipitation amount) from 10 regional models, provided by the EURO‐CORDEX initiative, are adjusted using as reference ROCADA gridded dataset. The adjustment was performed on a daily temporal resolution for historical period (1971–2005), well change scenarios based two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 RCP8.5). most accurately method bias‐correction (BC) selected following 2‐fold cross‐validation...

Seasonal snowpack plays a significant role in the climate system. Its characteristics are monitored as change indicators considering snow importance from ecological, hydrological, and economic perspectives. Observation data provides evidence of declining depth, spatial extent duration cover, connection to changes seasonal air temperature precipitation, especially lowlands mid-elevation mountain areas. However, these underpin occurrence compound hazards resulting joint actions rain...

Abstract. The impact of climate change on crops and agricultural yield is an actual threat while being a challenging issue due to the high complexity factors that intervene at local scale crop. Assessing it, requires use coupled models climate-phenology, meanwhile methods identify management genotypes suitable for future conditions, in order sustain adaptation strategies. We present implementation new integrated climate-phenology support modeling system based regional CORDEX CERES Maize...

A plain region covering 8000 km2 in extreme north-eastern Romania which two groundwater levels are identified, near the surface (1.5 m) and in-depth (4.5 respectively. The statistical relationship between climate conditions underground water resources was assessed by means of correlation analysis autoregressive neural networks (ANNs). Based on this, study explores quantitative changes towards end this century according to most relevant scenarios regarding evolution air temperature...

The Landsat 8 satellites have retrieved land surface temperature (LST) resampled at a 30-m spatial resolution since 2013, but the urban climate studies frequently use limited number of images due to problems related missing data over city interest. This paper endorses procedure for building long-term gap-free LST set in an area using high-resolution imagery. study is applied on 94 available through 2013–2018 Bucharest (Romania). raw containing between 1.1% and 58.4% were filled Data...
