Heat and cold waves are extreme temperature events with a high potential of causing negative impacts on human health, and natural and socioeconomic systems, depending on their duration and intensity. There is, however, no ...

Extreme cold events can cause crop damage as well as an increase in energy demand and even in the mortality rate. Identifying the atmospheric processes associated with the occurrence of these extremes would allow decision-makers ...

The lack of winter cold is a severe limitation for the cultivation of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L) in areas with warm winter climates. This phenomenon is currently becoming quite important due to global warming, which ...

The objective of temperature control in cold storage systems is to maintain an average temperature limited by a maximum temperature deviation within the produce. Temperature is a key factor in postharvest quality that ...

The effect of adding organic oily wastes on plant cover and on soil water content was studied in a soil covered by a community of low forage value in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). Oily wastes were mixed with the top 3 cm ...

The most extreme precipitation event in Metropolitan Lima (ML) occurred on 15 January 1970 (16 mm), this event caused serious damage, and the real vulnerability of this city was evidenced; the population is still not ...

Understanding how plants survive drought and cold is increasingly important as plants worldwide experience dieback with drought in moist places and grow taller with warming in cold ones. Crucial in plant climate adaptation ...

This work investigates how regional climate models REMO and RegCM4 simulate the frequency of cold fronts (CFs) over southern Brazil and the contribution of these systems to the seasonal precipitation over the southern part ...
