There are five general climate regions:tropical (low latitude), dry, mid-latitude, high latitude, and highland. Dry and highland cli- mates occur at several different latitudes. Within the five regions, there are variations that geographers divide into smaller zones. What are the 10 climate zones?
The most significant climatic change that has occurred has been a long-term reduction in rainfall in the semi-arid regions of West Africa. This was on the order of 20 to 40% in parts of the Sahel. There have been 3 decades of protracted aridity. Nearly all of Africa has been affected...
Winter temperatures were 10–17°C lower than today in Eurasia with a more significant decrease in northern regions. In Africa, winter temperature was 10–15°C lower than present in the south, while it was only reduced by 0–3°C in the tropical zone. Comparison of palaeoclimate ...
These regions can then be used in a monitoring framework to develop reliable estimates of ecosystem productivity. A regional characterization of the woodland biome has been developed for South Africa, delineated by satellite imagery and using environmental data and a rigorous statistical methodology. ...
In parallel, pollen data indicate fluctuations of herbaceous, afromontane taxa and charred grass cuticles, suggesting more open vegetation in the lowland regions and an increase in cloud forest and/or afromontane vegetation at higher altitudes within the Congolese region. 展开 ...
We examined the influences of temperature and precipitation anomalies on interannual variation in human WNV cases in three regions of the United States. There were consistent positive influences of winter temperatures, weaker and more variable positive effects of spring and summer temperatures, and ...
To review impacts of rainfall variability on cereal production To discuss the role of climatic forecasting in the current crisis Three core regions of rainfall can be identified in Southern Africa - the Sahel, East Africa and South East Africa. The annual variability since the start of the ...
In Mediterranean and north-African regions, cultural trajectories have shown trends sometimes coincident with climatic changes. The mid Holocene was a period of intense changes in climate, and in environmental and cultural systems. This paper reports pollen and charcoal studies from these areas aiming ...
An extensive rain band extending from southeastern China to the southern regions of Korea and Japan is observed, with the peak center located in southern China, reaching up to 0.4 mm/day (Fig. 9a). This corresponds to negative anomalies of omega at 500 hPa in the region (Fig. 9b)...
