Forecasting Regional Photovoltaic Power Generation - A Comparison of Strategies to Obtain One-Day-Ahead Data
Abstract There are several ways to obtain forecasts of photovoltaic, PV, power depending on the required accuracy, forecast horizon, climate and other conditions. In this study, we evaluate 3 strategies to obtain one-day-ahead regional forecasts of...

Comparison of estuarine sediment record with modelled rates of sediment supply from a western European catchment since 1500
Abstract Marine and estuarine sediment records reporting impacts of historical land use changes exist worldwide, but they are rarely supported by direct quantified evidence of changes in denudation rates on the related catchments. Here we implement...

AREA: A Mobile Application for Rapid Epidemiology Assessment
Abstract Health crises are challenging because the normal channels of communication and ways of reporting have often broken down under novel and unexpected circumstances. The most critical need in such situations is accurate, timely, and relevant...

Interpretation of residual gravity anomaly caused by simple shaped bodies using very fast simulated annealing global optimization
Abstract A very fast simulated annealing (VFSA) global optimization is used to interpret residual gravity anomaly. Since, VFSA optimization yields a large number of best-fitted models in a vast model space; the nature of uncertainty in the...

Pore size determination using normalized J-function for different hydraulic flow units
Abstract Pore size determination of hydrocarbon reservoirs is one of the main challenging areas in reservoir studies. Precise estimation of this parameter leads to enhance the reservoir simulation, process evaluation, and further forecasting of...

Reduced ventilation and enhanced magnitude of the deep Pacific carbon pool during the last glacial period
Abstract It has been proposed that the ventilation of the deep Pacific carbon pool was not significantly reduced during the last glacial period, posing a problem for canonical theories of glacial–interglacial CO2 change. However, using radiocarbon...

Long-term changes in nitrate conditions over the 20th century in two Midwestern Corn Belt streams
Summary Long-term changes in nitrate concentration and flux between the middle of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century were estimated for the Des Moines River and the Middle Illinois River, two Midwestern Corn Belt streams,...

Termination-II interstadial/stadial climate change recorded in two stalagmites from the north European Alps
Abstract Understanding the sequence of events that take place during glacial-interglacial climate transitions is important for improving our knowledge of abrupt climate change. Here, we present a new stacked, high-resolution, precisely-dated...

Hydro-climatic and lake change patterns in Arctic permafrost and non-permafrost areas
Summary This paper investigates patterns of lake-area and hydro-climatic change in Arctic river basins, and possible influence of permafrost change reflected in such patterns. A salient change pattern, emerging across all investigated basins in both ...

Modeling water and hydrogen networks with partitioning regeneration units
Abstract Strict environment regulations in chemical and refinery industries lead to minimize resource consumption by designing utility networks within industrial process plants. The present study proposed a superstructure based optimization model...

Can we reliably assess climate mitigation options for air traffic scenarios despite large uncertainties in atmospheric processes?
Abstract Air traffic has an increasing influence on climate; therefore identifying mitigation options to reduce the climate impact of aviation becomes more and more important. Aviation influences climate through several climate agents, which show...

Mapping of soil properties and land degradation risk in Africa using MODIS reflectance
Abstract There is a need for up-to-date assessments and maps of soil properties and land health at scales relevant for decision-making and management, including for properties that are dynamic and hence change in response to management. Also, there...
