Consequences of short-term water temperature variability to fish: Current and future climate change impacts
<p>Water temperature has a profound influence on aquatic ectotherms by affecting all aspects of biological organization; from chemical and molecular functioning to whole-organism and population-level impacts. Natural processes and anthropogenic activities can create conditions where temperatures …

Longitudinal Variation in Fish Community Along the Upper Green River Below the Green River Lake
… waters can cause decreased variation in flow and temperature, reduce habitat availability, and decreased mean temperature below a reservoir. These types of alterations can influence fish communities. Twelve sites were sampled along the Upper Green river in order to address the potential influence …

Changes of Winter Severity in Arkansas during 1901-2100
… that go into the AWSSI calculation are maximum daily temperature, minimum daily temperature, daily snowfall, and daily snow depth. When the snowfall and snow depth were missing, they can be estimated using daily temperature and precipitation. Then the estimated snowfall and snow depth can be …

Climatic factors influencing hunter sightings of deer on the broad run research area
… hunter per day, two weather variables, average daily temperature, and total daily precipitation were found to be significant. The resulting R2 was only .2726. A single variable, number of hunters per day, was found to account for 54.1 6 percent of the variation in number of deer seen per day. …

Economic Implications of Extreme Heat Effects on Rice Yield and Milling Quality in Arkansas
<p>Future increases in global surface temperature threaten those worldwide who depend on rice production for their livelihoods and food security. Past analyses of extreme heat effects on rice production have focused on paddy yield and have not accounted for the detrimental impact of extreme heat on …

A system for predicting burning weather in the south-western Cape mountain catchment areas
… maximum hourly windspeed (< 16 km/hr), maximum daily temperature (18° - 28°C) and minimum daily humidity (15 - 45%). Synoptic conditions which are associated with favourable burning weather are outlined. Burning weather in the study area was found to be associated with weak anticyclonic air …

From the Mundane to the Profound: Developing a Political Model of Weather Information Processing and Climate Change Beliefs
… the relationships between the mundane, our daily habits of weather information collection, and the profound, our beliefs about climate change and relevant policy solutions. Climate change is a hotly contested, highly partisan policy issue which results in many conflicting models of …

Some Statistical Analyses of the Climate of Nacogdoches, Texas for Applications in Natural Resources Management
… variables generated from 80 years (1901-80) of daily precipitation and temperature data collected by the National Weather Service showed that Nacogdoches is characterized by a humid subtropical climate with an average annual precipitation and temperature of 45.96 inches and 65.5°F, respectively. …
