Abstract Energy communities (ECs) are considered important in transitioning the energy system. They of particular interest due to their potential empower citizens and support a more just transition. However, experiences from ECs remain limited vary across countries, thus raising questions on future advancements. In this article, we explore several European countries inspire discussions further evolvement improvements. Insights into lessons learned key challenges within selected have been...
Abstract We applied the Mann‐Kendall (MK) test and Bayesian model to systematically explore trends abrupt changes of precipitation series in Pearl River basin. The results showed that no significant were detected for annual summer or winter totals. Significant negative identified number rainy days across basin; positive observed regarding intensity (PI). In particular, totals frequencies extremely high events are subject trends. addition, low was also increasing significantly. Factors...
Abstract Monthly precipitation and temperature trends of 51 stations in the Yangtze basin from 1950–2002 were analysed interpolated. The Mann-Kendall trend test was applied to examine monthly data. Significant positive negative at 90, 95 99% significance levels detected. mean temperature, precipitation, summer runoff Yichang, Hankou Datong analysed. results indicate that spatial distribution is different. middle lower dominated by upward but somewhat downward trend; while occur upper basin....
Detecting trends in hydrometerological data through the commonly used Mann-Kendall test is misleading presence of autocorrelation. Autocorrelation seriously interferes with type I errors and power trend detection. To mitigate this effect, authors introduce a variance correction prewhitening method. It addresses two important issues that lacked appropriate attention past application trend-free method: inflationary slope estimator deflationary serial variance. After variances correction, new...
Abstract Summer rainfall in the Yangtze River basin is predicted using neural network techniques. Input variables (predictors) for are Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), East Atlantic/Western Russia (EA/WR) pattern, Scandinavia (SCA) Polar/Eurasia (POL) pattern and several indices calculated from sea surface temperatures (SST), level pressures (SLP) snow data December to April period 1993 2002. The output variable of May September 1994 2002, which was previously classified into six different...
To understand the changing rainfall–runoff relationship, this study examined climate and streamflow data in Milwaukee River Basin southeastern Wisconsin, of which four catchments with different degrees urbanization were selected for analysis. This analyzed temperature, precipitation, a range statistical methods, including Mann–Kendall test, double-mass technique, quantile regression. Runoff ratios extreme flow indexes higher more urbanized catchments. Catchments long-term (>forty years)...
Hydrometeorological data are commonly serially dependent and thereby deviate from the assumption of independence that underlies Spearman rho trend test. The presence autocorrelation will influence significance observed trends. Specifically, positive inflates Type І errors, while it deflates power detection in some cases. To address this issue, we derive a theoretical formula recommend an appropriate empirical to calculate variance series. proposed procedure correction for method is capable...
Abstract Data from 545 rainfall gauges were used to interpolate the spatial distribution of annual in South Africa. Several interpolation methods (inverse distance weighting (IWD), ordinary kriging, universal cokriging) tested by variation analyses and cross-validation determine most suitable one. The best results achieved whereby setting parameters was determined through sensitivity analyses. median errors turned out be 61 mm (11%). generally small for interior country high coastal...
Abstract Daily precipitation data of 148 weather stations located in the Yangtze River basin (P.R. China) are analysed to detect cycles annual frequency occurrence events 1‐, 5‐ and 10 days duration. These were defined terms exceedances some selected thresholds. The corresponding 10, 25 30 mm thresholds for 10‐day totals, respectively, detail. For identification cycles, basin‐wide averaged standardized time series used. It is found that peaks smoothed occurred around 1974, 1982 1991....
Abstract This study deals with the calculation of direct solar radiation and diffuse for locations in Israel as hourly values. The model is based on Linke turbidity factors stations Bet‐Dagan, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva, Sedom Eilat, which have been determined from measurements. clear sky conditions showed a characteristic yearly pattern differences between were related to their geographical locations. requires different algorithms calculations Rift Valley system rest Israel. proved be very...
