Effects of Climate Change on the Potential of Water Harvesting from Air Humidity Under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 Scenarios by Hadi Ramezani Etedali, Sakine Koohi, Zahra Partovi

“…The results in the base period showed that the climate models have a suitable efficiency for investigating the potential of water extraction from air humidity, so that the average correlation index at the level of study stations is more than 0.67 and the value of the RMSE error index is 1.83 liters per square meter in The day is limited to In addition, the monitoring of water extraction conditions from air humidity under climate scenarios in the coming periods indicates the existence of an increasing trend at the 95% confidence level in the amount of water that can be extracted from air humidity, such as the value of Menkendall's non-parametric test under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. …”

Assessment of historical and future changes in temperature indices for winegrape suitability in Hungarian wine regions (1971–2100) by László Lakatos, Richárd Nagy

“…The analysis was based on data from 14 climate models under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. To investigate the future suitability of wine grapes, we introduced the dynamic suitability function, which allowed us to analyse the suitability of the average temperature during the growing season for 21 wine grape varieties from 2031 to 2100 in decadal increments. …”

Amending the algorithm of aerosol–radiation interactions in WRF-Chem (v4.4) by J. Feng, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, Q. Du, Z. Yang, C. Jin

“…However, in the current version, aerosol optical properties are only calculated in four shortwave bands, while only two of them are used to interpolate optical properties towards the 14 shortwave bands used in the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for Global Climate Models (RRTMG) scheme. In this study, we use a “Resolved” algorithm to estimate aerosol radiative feedback in WRF-Chem, in which aerosol optical properties are calculated in all 14 shortwave bands. …”

Editorial by Jörg Tremmel, Edward Page, Konrad Ott

“…It is shown that the precautionary principle fails to adequately deal with uncertainties as they arise in climate modeling. Following a social constructivist approach, Delf Rothe (Helmut-Schmidt-University, Hamburg, Germany) shows how the interests of the actors in climate conferences have shifted between Rio 1992 and now. …”
