(2013-07-30)The studies in this dissertation aim at advancing our scientific understandings about physical processes involved in the aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction and quantitatively assessing the impacts of aerosols ...
-
(1984)Mexican vegetable production and vegetable exports to the United States are affected by climate, hand-labor costs, transportation capabilities and economic factors. Low-temperature-induced seasonality of vegetable supply ...
-
(2020-11-24)Degree day methods are used in the estimation of building energy consumption and climate classification for buildings (e.g. in ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, which is adopted in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016). This study, first ...
-
(2014-04-25)Understanding the climatic drivers of changes in sea ice extent in the Arctic has become increasingly important as record minima in the September sea ice extent continue to be reached. This research therefore addresses the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Over the past century, glaciers throughout the tropics have predominately retreated. These small glaciers, which respond quickly to climate changes, are becoming increasingly important in understanding glacier-climate ...
-
(2012-10-19)Previous studies showed that sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Florida Straits as well as Florida Current transport covaried with changes in North Atlantic climate over the past two millennia. However, little is known about ...
-
This project intends to answer the question of how rising disaster losses correlate to essential climate change variables. Despite the substantial upward trend in economic losses from disaster, there is still debate over ...
-
(2014-06-24)The Arctic is a unique and complex environment. Many factors play a role in determining the long-term climate of the Arctic, including mesoscale weather systems and many complex ice-albedo feedback mechanisms. Previous ...
-
(2018-04-26)A prominent area of current study is how tropical cyclone (TC) behavior will respond to future changes in global climate. One way to complement this research is by analyzing TC characteristics in simulations of past climates. ...
-
(2016-05-02)Wood debris is an important C pool in forest ecosystems. Understanding the controls on wood decomposition is necessary for predicting the response of forest ecosystem carbon cycling to management and climate. The productivity ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)Along with the rapid development of urbanization, there are more and more high-rise buildings in cities. Meanwhile, the negative impacts of high-rise buildings on the urban environment have become more and more serious. ...
-
(2014-12-10)This dissertation examines the economic impacts of ocean-related climate variability on U.S. crops and the effect sweetened beverage taxes would have on beverage consumption among low income food assistance program ...
-
(2019-05-30)Hurricane Harvey was one of the most destructive and costliest hurricanes to ever make landfall on the Texas coast and one of the many tropical cyclones that impacted the United States during the 2017 North Atlantic Hurricane ...
-
(2011-08-08)There is a well-established connection between adult mortality and the conditions an individual is exposed to while in utero. There is a wealth of research that connects conditions such as asthma and allergies, mortality ...
-
Investigating the Impacts of Atmospheric Aerosols on Cloud Formation Relevant to Weather and Climate (2014-12-10)In recent years, human induced air pollution has significantly increased, with profound atmospheric implications from local, regional, to global scales [Stocker et al., 2013]. This impact has sparked active research on the ...
-
(2014-09-02)This project hypothesizes that changes in climate resulting from urbanization can serve as a proxy for the changes expected from climate change, and therefore, future climate change effects on the biosphere can be estimated ...
-
(Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1987)
-
(2016-05-04)Regional site suitability for wine grape varieties is generally considered to be closely related to environmental conditions. However, the global spatial distribution of grape varieties is also strongly influenced by ...
-
(2013-03-25)This dissertation presents a series of work related to the representation of the Hadley circulation (HC) in atmospheric reanalyses and general circulation models (GCMs), with connections to the underlying tropical and ...
-
(2011-02-22)The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea comprise a sensitive and important region, both oceanographically and climatically. A better understanding of the history of climate and marine environmental conditions in this region ...
