Data were analyzed en relative spatial distribution of the internal surface temperature (IST) and internal air
temperature or dry bulb (TBS), in two different test cells, for a typical experimental day under the influence of
tropical mass. The main goal of this research is to provide guidelines to collect temperature data experimentally
since there is not an appropriate standard to guide this methodological procedure in buildings. The data series of
dry bulb temperature and internal surface temperatures were measured in a test cell with a green roof and the
other with conventional ceramic roof by thermocouples installed at predetermined locations. The data of solar
radiation and the main climatic variables were recorded by the automatic weather station at the Center of Science
Engineering Applied to the Environment (CCEAMA), School of Engineering of São Carlos (EESC-USP). The
results led to the conclusion that the distribution of the internal surface temperature is almost uniform in the two
test cells, but in relation to the dry bulb temperature there is a small vertical temperature gradient in the
conventional cell. This work will contribute significantly to future studies in the area of human comfort and
environmental suitability of buildings

Climate-related Changes in Tropical-fruit Flowering Phases in Songkhla Provin...Orca Whale
Abstract: Changes in the timing of plant phenological phases in response to anomalous climate variability and the ongoing anthropogenic climate change have recently been studied in southern Thailand. In this study, we showed the evidence of climate-related changes in flowering phases of 2 tropical-fruit species: mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) and longkong (Lansium domesticum Corr.) during 2003-2012. The flowering dates of these tropical fruits recorded at Hat Yai district, Songkhla province and daily climate data were used to assess phenophase response to variations in rainfall and evaporation. With the observed changes in local climate conditions which are defining factors for phenological development of tropical fruits particularly in southern Thailand, the flowering dates of both tropical fruits during 2003-2012 have significantly delayed comparing with the regular pattern in the past. Paradoxically, below-than-normal rainfall was also found in the El Niño years, while La Niña years were found in opposite. In summary, rainfall variations in Hat Yai district, Songkhla province are associated with ENSO. It was evident that the flowering period of tropical fruits tended to shift to the second-half of the year instead of the first-half of the year as usual. The results revealed that, during 33 years (1980-2012), annual rainfall totals, the annual number of rainy days, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperatures from the Thai Meteorological Department significantly increased by 29.5 mm/year, 0.83 day/year, 0.116 %/year, 0.033 and 0.035°C/year, respectively. These findings suggest that anthropogenically warm climate and its associated inter-annual variations in local weather patterns may to the great extent influence on tropical-fruit phenology and their responses to recent climate change seem to be complex and nonlinear. Therefore, further study is needed to shed more light on such causal-effect linkages and plausible underlying mechanisms.
Factor analysis as a tool for evaluation of spatial and temporal variations i...IOSR Journals
In this case study, factor analysis was applied for evaluation of temporal/spatial variations in the
groundwater quality of Aravakurichi block, Karur district, Tamil Nadu, India. This statistical technique was
employed for the better interpretation of large complex water quality data set obtained from twenty five
groundwater locations in four seasons during the year 2012. The water samples were characterized for the
physico-chemical parameters such as pH, total alkalinity, electrical conductivity, total hardness, calcium ions,
magnesium ions, total dissolved solids, fluorides, chlorides and sulphates. Factor analysis indicated four factors
initially and when rotation of the factor axis was executed, it yielded two factors with clear indication of high
loadings for some variable and low loadings for others, facilitating data interpretation in terms of original
variables. Overall, this case study demonstrated the effectiveness of factor analysis to identify marker variables
for assessing the chemistry of groundwater besides earmarking representative sampling stations to undertake
suitable water quality management in a shortest possible time.
Data Preparation for Assessing Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater RechargeAM Publications
Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long
periods of time. It significantly affects the various components of hydrological cycle like temperature, precipitation,
evapotranspiration and infiltration. All these components together affect the rate of groundwater recharge. So
understanding the effects of climate change on groundwater recharge is the need of time for the management of
groundwater resources. This paper presents the data preparation initiatives and a suitable methodology that can be
used to characterize the effect of climate change on groundwater recharge. The method is based on the hydrologic
model Visual HELP which can be used to estimate potential groundwater recharge at the regional scale. The success
of Modeling depends on the accuracy of data and the mode of collecting the data. Therefore, identifying the data
needs of a particular modeling study, collection/monitoring of required data and preparation of data set form an
integral part of any groundwater modeling exercise. The main objective of this paper is to describe the exact data
required and its preparation to simulate the groundwater recharge using HELP Model Software for Yavatmal as a
study area situated in Maharashtra state, India. The impact of climate change as a pilot study is modeled by using
computer software HELP (Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance). The initiatives for data preparation
presented herein may be useful to the researchers in this field.

Albedo is an important indicator of radiation reflectance of pavement surfaces for the building envelope and on the ground level, and their resultant impacts on human comfort and the urban environment in outdoor spaces. Usually, albedo is generally accepted only for horizontal surfaces. This study developed an experimental test set-up for the albedo measurement system with pyranometers and automatic meteorological data acquisition system, which used it to conduct field measurements of albedo on horizontal and vertical surfaces of the used concrete block. The results show that albedo measured on a horizontal surface is not proportional to irradiance on a vertical surface. The albedo value between the two surfaces depend upon time of day, and the horizontal surface also received significantly more incident solar radiation than the vertical surface during all but the central hours of the day, while at reflected solar radiation on vertical irradiances were less than the horizontal. These results can help reduce the uncertainty in understanding and evaluating the thermal behaviour of the building and environmental impacts of pavement surfaces with different albedos in the outdoor urban space.
Climate data can provide a great deal of information about the atmospheric environment that impacts almost all aspects of human endeavour. This module explains the importance of climate data, its storage, security, applications and other aspects, in a nutshell.

In this research, precipitable water vapor, as the most effective character in the production of biomass is estimated using remote sensing techniques. Total Precipitable Water (TPW) was estimated using measurements in the Near Infrared bands of the MODIS. To examine the level of confidence in TPW deriving, a simultaneous in situ measurement by Radiosonde and ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS) was carried out. The TPW as results in Radiosonde and GPS was accomplished using the relevant physical equations and base on wet delay troposphere, respectively. Results showed a high correlation among the values of TPW derived from MODIS banding ratio, Radiosonde and GPS data at the Mehrabad station. Also, Using the ratio of the apparent reflectance in the water vapor absorption band to reflectance in non-absorbing band, the atmospheric water vapor transparency was mapped, that the maps showed a high correlation between apparent reflectance and TPW MODIS as their statistical results showed an inverse negative relationship(R²= -0.97).
This deals with the assessment of several parameterizations of longwave radiation. The parametes were calibrated using a calibration tool on Ameriflux data.

ABSTRACT
The significance of major meteorological factors, that influence the evaporation were evaluated at daily timescale for monsoon season using the data from Junagadh station, Gujarat (India). The computed values were
compared. The solar radiation and mean air temperature were found to be the significant factors influencing pan
evaporation (Ep). The negative correlation was found between relative humidity and (E p), while wind speed,
vapour pressure deficit and bright sunshine hours were found least correlated and no longer remained controlling
factors influencing (Ep). The objective of the present study is to compare and evaluate the performance of six
different methods based on temperature and radiation to select the most appropriate equations for estimating
(Ep).
The three quantitative standard statistical performance evaluation measures, coefficient of determination (R 2),
root mean square of errors-observations standard deviation ratio (RSR) and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient
(E) are employed as performance criteria. The results show that the Jensen equation yielded the most reliable
results in estimation of (Ep) and it can be recommended for estimating (Ep) for monsoon season in the study

In this study, dependency of controlling
variables is analysed, compared and then based on
dependency, appropriate equations are selected. The
selected methods are compared and evaluated, with
their optimised parameters values. Finally, the
overall applicability of the selected methods is
examined in the order of their predictive ability for
the study region.
II.
STUDY AREA AND DATA
Data of the Junagadh meteorological station
located in the Gujarat state of India were used in this
study. This station is located at latitude of 210 31’ N
and a longitude of 700 33’ E, 61 m msl. The region
(Fig. 1) is situated in semi-arid region; the mean
annual precipitation for the region varies from a
maximum of 1689.70 mm to minimum of 425 mm
with an average value of 940 mm. The Junagadh
region is characterized by a semi-arid climate, with
warm and dry summers and mild winter conditions.
Mean maximum temperature ranges from 33.23 0C
to 34.91 0C and Mean minimum temperature ranges
from 19.44 0C to 29.67 0C. The highest annual wind
speed was 13.6 km/h occurred in April, 2000 and
14.1 km/h in April, 2001 whereas the lowest annual
wind speed was 8.6 km/h which occurred in October,
2001. The humidity has been changed between 88 %
and 63%.
Daily meteorological data, including air
temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, bright
sunshine hours and evaporation for monsoon season
for period of 21 years (1992-2012) were collected
from Agro meteorological Cell, Junagadh
Agricultural University. The associate parameters
like solar radiation and vapour pressure deficit were
computed with standard meteorological formula as
described in FAO.
III.
DEPENDENCE OF
EVAPORATION ON METEOROLOGICAL
VARIABLES
For better comparative evaluation, the
dimensionless standardized values of each variable
were computed and compared by using the
transformation shown in equation (1).
(1)
Where X is a variate, i is the ith value, µ is
the mean of X and σ is the standard deviation of X.
In view of the above considerations, this paper first
analysed and compared the roles of controlling
variables influencing (Ep) with daily time-scale for
monsoon season. The dominating factors affecting
evaporation for daily time-scales are determined,
which then forms the basis for choosing the
evaporation estimation method suitable for monsoon
season. Dependence of evaporation on different
meteorological variables at daily time-scales is
presented in (Fig. 2-7). The dependence of
www.ijera.com
www.ijera.com
evaporation on mean air temperature (T mean) and
radiation (Rs) are shown in Fig. 2 and 3 for daily
time-scales. It is readily apparent that, mean air
temperature (Tmean) and radiation (Rs) with R2 values
0.88 and 0.68 respectively, remain as controlling
factors of evaporation. Hence, the temperature and
radiation based methods for evaporation estimation
comparatively gives good results. The dependence of
evaporation on relative humidity (RH) is shown in
(Fig. 4). A negative correlation exists between RH
and (Ep) with R2 value 0.32. It is perceived from
(Fig. 5), (Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7) that vapour pressure
deficit (VPD) (R2 value 0.45), wind speed (WS) (R2
value 0.17) and bright sunshine hours (BSS) (R2
value 0.17) are no longer remain a significant
factors. Based on the previous discussion and the
availability of meteorological data, temperaturebased method and radiation-based method were
selected for investigation of their suitability for
estimation of evaporation. The equations and the
climatological data requirements for each of these
methods are shown in (Table 1).
IV.
STATISTICAL CRITERION
To assess the performances of selected
methods, three quantitative standard statistical
performance evaluation measures, coefficient of
determination (R2), root mean square of errorsobservations standard deviation ratio (RSR) and
Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (E) are
employed as performance criterion. In general,
model simulation can be judged as ‘‘satisfactory’’ if
(R2 and E) > 0.50 and RSR < 0.70.
V.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The performances of temperature based
methods ([11], [23] and [24]) and radiation based
methods ([25], [26] and [27]) against mean daily
observed pan evaporation data were evaluated by
using selected statistical performance criterion and
the results are presented in (Table 2). The original
empirical formulae may be reliable in the areas and
over the periods for which they were developed, but
large errors, can be expected when they are
extrapolated to other climatic areas without
recalibrating
their
parameters.
Accordingly,
modifications are made to the original equations
used here to improve the results. The parameters of
equations are computed and optimised using
Microsoft Excel spread sheet, Microsoft Excel builtin optimisation tool Solver [28]. The optimised
values of parameters of selected methods are
presented in (Table 3).
As far as (E) values are concerned,
Fooladmand method yielded lowest (E) values (0.40
and 038 in calibration and in simulation
respectively). Turc method produced (E) value 0.41
in simulation.

in simulation), remaining all the methods correlated
well with pan evaporation.
The Fooladmand and Turc methods have
the highest RSR values 0.79 in calibration and 0.81
in simulation respectively. The radiation based
Jensen method has the lowest RSR values 0.37 in
calibration and 0.26 in simulation.
It can be seen that the radiation based
Jensen method is yielded the highest (E) values 0.86
in calibration and 0.93 in simulation respectively and
the lowest RSQ values 0.37 in calibration and 0.26 in
simulation respectively. This means radiation based
Jensen method has a strong relationship with
evaporation for monsoon season. The fitted
equations for monsoon season with optimised
parameter values are expressed in equation (2).

In order to examine performance of the Jensen
methods, its estimated results in calibration and in
simulation versus the corresponding observed
evaporations are plotted in (Fig. 8) and (Fig. 9)
respectively.

CONCLUSION
The evaporation estimates obtained from
six selected methods viz. Thornthwaite, Kharrufa,
Fooladmand, Turc, Jensen and Hargreaves are
compared to the observed pan evaporation, for
Junagadh region of Gujarat (India). Three statistical
criterions (E), RSR and R2 have been used to
evaluate the performance of the selected methods
and to establish the optimal parameters. Among the
selected six methods, the radiation based Jensen
method is found to be the most suitable for
estimating (Ep) in this study area, for monsoon
season based on the entire evaluation criterion.
Therefore, a practical point of view, this method can
be considered suitable to serve as a tool to estimate
evaporation for rainfall-runoff models in this region.
