Abstract The relationship between satellite land surface temperature (LST) and ground‐based observations of 2 m air ( T 2m ) is characterized in space time using >17 years data. analysis uses a new monthly LST climate data record (CDR) based on the Along‐Track Scanning Radiometer series, which has been produced within European Space Agency GlobTemperature project (http://www.globtemperature.info/). Global LST‐ differences are analyzed with respect to location, cover, vegetation fraction,...
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the relationship between land surface temperatures (LST) and screen‐level air ( T 2m ) using in situ observations from 19 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) deployments located a range geographical regimes. The diurnal cycle is resolved 1 min observations: particular focus study on daily extremes LST (LST max , ). Temperature differences are analyzed with respect to cloud, wind speed, snow cover. Under cloud‐free, low speed conditions, daytime...
Price and affordability of foods are important determinants health. Targeted food pricing policies may help improve population diets. However, methods producing comparable data to inform relevant policy decisions lacking in Australia globally. The objective was develop pilot standardised assess the price, relative price healthy (recommended) current (unhealthy) diets test impacts a potential change. Methods followed optimal approach proposed by INFORMAS using recent Australian dietary intake...
Abstract Observations of daily minimum and maximum land air temperatures, Tmin Tmax, have traditionally been obtained through in situ observations at meteorological stations. While the station network is extensive, many masses are poorly observed. Moreover, stations “point” may not be representative temperatures neighboring locations. Satellites provide means to observe surface skin spatial scales tens meters kilometers. But although near‐surface strongly coupled, two quantities can differ...
Abstract Long‐term satellite land surface temperature (LST) data are desirable to augment 2m air temperatures (T2m) measured in situ and as an independent measure of change. However, previous studies show variable agreement between LST T2m time series. The objective this study is assess the stability trends six new sets from European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative for (LST_cci). anomalies compared with homogenized station over Europe, which verifies all well coupled (LST vs anomaly...
Abstract We present a case study of long range forecasts for Northern Hemisphere winter 2015/2016. This produced the strongest El Niño event since 1997/1998 and equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies exceeded 3 °C. Other factors relevant to extratropical atmosphere circulation included strong westerly phase Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation ( QBO ) very winds in stratospheric polar night jet early winter. At surface, intense cyclonic occurred both North Atlantic, consistent with known...
Abstract We describe a global dataset of quality‐controlled in situ daily air temperature observations covering the period 1850–2015, developed framework EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners Earth) project ( www.eustaceproject.org ). The includes total 35,364 series maximum and minimum obtained from seven different collections. About 97% are publicly available common format, while remaining 3% can be original data providers. Unlike other similar products, duplicates have been...
Abstract Day-to-day variations in surface air temperature affect society many ways, but daily measurements are not available everywhere. Therefore, a global picture cannot be achieved with made situ alone and needs to incorporate estimates from satellite retrievals. This article presents the science developed EU Horizon 2020–funded EUSTACE project (2015–19, www.eustaceproject.org ) produce European multidecadal ensembles of analyses complementary those dynamical reanalyses, integrating...
This paper describes the rationale, development and final protocol of Healthy Diets Australian Standardised Affordability Pricing (ASAP) method which aims to assess, compare monitor price, price differential affordability healthy (recommended) current (unhealthy) diets in Australia. The is consistent with International Network for Food Obesity / non-communicable Diseases Research, Monitoring Action Support's (INFORMAS) optimal approach food globally.The ASAP was developed based on literature...
This report describes a patient born with generalized muscle stiffness. The electromyogram (EMG) revealed continuous electrical activity during rest, sleep, general anesthesia, spinal and peripheral nerve block. rigidity EMG were abolished by tubocurarine chloride, proving that the disorder was due to hyperactivity of nerves. Motor conduction velocity unobtainable in peroneal histochemical type II fibers completely lacking muscle. Autopsy reactive astrocytosis subcortical white matter...
Air sensors can provide valuable non-regulatory and supplemental data as they be affordably deployed in large numbers stationed remote areas far away from regulatory air monitoring stations. have inherent limitations that are critical to understand before collecting interpreting the data. Many of these mechanistic nature, which will require technological advances. However, there documented quality assurance (QA) methods promote quality. These include laboratory field evaluation...
A new aerosol index for the Along-Track Scanning Radiometers (ATSRs) is presented that provides a means to detect desert dust contamination in infrared SST retrievals.The ATSR Saharan (ASDI) utilises only thermal channels and may therefore be applied consistently entire data record (1991 present), both day time night observations.The derivation of ASDI based on principal component (PC) analysis (PCA) two unique pairs channel brightness temperature differences (BTDs).In 2-D space (i.e.BTD vs...
In this study, two different methods were applied to derive daily and monthly sunshine duration based on high-resolution satellite products provided by the European Organisation for Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Satellite Application Facility Climate Monitoring using data from Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible Infrared Imager). The either hourly cloud type or surface incoming direct radiation. estimates not found be significantly native...
The behaviour of remotely sensed land surface temperatures (LSTs) from the spinning-enhanced visible and infrared imager (SEVIRI) during total solar eclipse 20 March 2015 is analysed over Europe. LST found to drop by up several degrees Celcius eclipse, with minimum occurring just after mid-point (median=+1.5 min). in typically larger than near-surface air reported elsewhere, correlates obscuration (r=-0.47; = drop), duration (r=-0.62; longer drop) time (r=+0.37; earlier drop). Locally, also...

Background Simulated physiology (SimPhys) is a novel way of teaching basic sciences to early-years medical students. A high-fidelity SimMan TM used simulate clinical scenario and the underlying then discussed in real time as proceeds. This study evaluates effect SimPhys on learning. There literature support use simulation for pre-clinical students 1 however these programmes are often focussed reasoning rather than sciences. It was hoped that might improve understanding affect approach took...
