Dynamic moment analysis of non-stationary temperature data in Alberta
… is observed in the volatile hourly Alberta temperature and its low- and high-order statistical moments. We propose a time series model consisting of a linear combination of an annual sinusoidal model, a diurnal sinusoidal model and a fractional residual model, to study the characteristics of …

Comparing in situ and satellite temperature data on the Agulhas Bank to understand changes in anchovy (Engroulis encrasicolus) distribution
Satellite data have high spatial/ temporal resolution, extensive coverage and are easily accessible, making them a common part of many studies on the oceans. One such important study to use satellite data found a relationship between the cross-shelf SST difference on the Agulhas Bank and the …

Modeling the temperature response of small rivers to land cover changes using satellite-based spatial data
… alteration on water quality, including river temperatures, has important ecological implications. However, there is a dearth of information on temperature of rivers smaller than about 60 m wide (approximately fifth order and below), which constitute roughly 97% of total global stream length: …
