In this approach, to underpin our analysis, we evaluate statistically the SDSM performance by simulating the historical temperatures and precipitation. The NCEP reanalysis data and CanESM2 predictors of three future scenarios, RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 are used for model calibration and future projection, respectively. The projected climate changes resulting from the application of SDSM show a convincing consistency with those unveiled in previous studies over Algeria based on dynamical regional climate model outputs conducted in the context of Middle East-North Africa region. By the end of the century, the results exhibit strong warming for both extreme temperatures under the worst-case scenario (RCP 8.5), it is more pronounced for the T-max and over the Algerian Sahara region. Under the optimistic scenario (RCP2.6), the strength of the warming is expected to increase for both extreme temperatures. The projected changes of precipitation revealed for all scenarios several discrepancies with significant decrease over the northwest region and central Sahara, while nonsignificant change is projected for the center and eastern coastal regions. Our findings corroborate previous studies using sophisticated tools by demonstrating that Algeria’s climate is expected to warm further in the future. These primary findings could give an overview of the application of the statistical modeling approach using SDSM over a semi-arid and arid vulnerable region like Algeria and would extend our knowledge in the climate-modelling field for the North Africa zone by providing an added value to the existing GCMs and regional climate projections. In addition, reliable information regarding the magnitude of future changes at local scale may be used in impact models to assess changes of other key economic sector variables such as water resources management, energy and agriculture.","PeriodicalId":262307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Big Data Mining for Global Warming","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125646366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a view to sustain rice productivity and mitigate yield scaled CH4 emission in the changing climatic conditions, a pot experiment was conducted under different soil water contents, biochar and silicate amendments with inorganic fertilization (NPKS). In this regard, 12 treatments combinations of biochar, silicate and NPKS fertilizer along with continuous standing water (CSW), soil saturation water content and field capacity (100% and 50%) moisture levels were arranged into rice planted potted soils. Gas samples were collected from rice planted pots through Closed Chamber technique and analyzed by Gas Chromatograph. This study revealed that seasonal CH4 emissions were suppressed through integrated biochar and silicate amendments with NPKS fertilizer (50–75% of the recommended doze), while increased rice yield significantly at different soil water contents. Biochar and silicate amendments with NPKS fertilizer (50% of the recommended doze) increased rice grain yield by 10.9%, 18.1%, 13.0% and 14.2%, while decreased seasonal CH4 emissions by 22.8%, 20.9%, 23.3% and 24.3% at continuous standing water level (CSW) (T9), at saturated soil water content (T10), at 100% field capacity soil water content (T11) and at 50% field capacity soil water content (T12), respectively. Soil porosity, soil redox status, SOC and free iron oxide contents were improved with biochar and silicate amendments. Furthermore, rice root oxidation activity (ROA) was found more dominant in water stress condition compared to flooded and saturated soil water contents, which ultimately reduced seasonal CH4 emissions as well as yield scaled CH4 emission. Conclusively, soil amendments with biochar and silicate fertilizer may be a rational practice to reduce the demand for inorganic fertilization and mitigate CH4 emissions during rice cultivation under water stress drought conditions.","PeriodicalId":262307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Big Data Mining for Global Warming","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122254205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, single model output or simple multi-model ensemble (SMME) outputs are associated with large biases. While predicting the rainfall extreme events, this study attempts to use an alternative modeling approach by using five different machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve the skill of North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) GCMs during Indian summer monsoon rainfall from 1982 to 2009 by reducing the model biases. Random forest (RF), AdaBoost (Ada), gradient (Grad) boosting, bagging (Bag) and extra (Extra) trees regression models are used and the results from each models are compared against the observations. In simple MME (SMME), a wet bias of 20[Formula: see text]mm/day and an RMSE up to 15[Formula: see text]mm/day are found over the Himalayan region. However, all the ML models can bring down the mean bias up to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm/day and RMSE up to 2[Formula: see text]mm/day. The interannual variability in ML outputs is closer to observation than the SMME. Also, a high correlation from 0.5 to 0.8 is found between in all ML models and then in SMME. Moreover, representation of RF and Grad is found to be best out of all five ML models that represent a high correlation over the Himalayan region. In conclusion, by taking full advantage of different models, the proposed ML-based multi-model ensemble method is shown to be accurate and effective.","PeriodicalId":262307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Big Data Mining for Global Warming","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117258215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigate the trend and variability of rainfall in southwestern Nigeria and examine its effect on radio communication. Our results reveal a steady increasing in rainfall and slightly unstable in volume variation in southwestern Nigeria. The study also reveals that the tendency of higher attenuation in years was caused by the increasing trend but showing variability with frequency. With the rising trend in view, there is therefore the likelihood that radio communication infrastructures will experience increasing outage and more signal loss in the future years. This outcome should serve as useful tools in optimizing satellite link budget and better utilization of available bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":262307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Big Data Mining for Global Warming","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124174304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Links of the variability in terrestrial climate and sunspot cycles and associated magnetic cycles have been the concern of many recent studies. These two time series data sunspots and K-index are distributed into 22-year cycles, according to the magnetic field of the sun in which polarity reverses after 11-years. The fractal dimension of each sunspot cycle from 1 to 24 is calculated and found to be quasi-regular (persistent, [Formula: see text]). To understand the regular effects of the dynamics of sunspot cycles on the earth’s climate and magnetosphere, the sunspot cycles and K-index cycles (22 years each) from 1932 to 2014 are observed and discussed comparatively in the perspective of fractal dimension and Hurst exponent.","PeriodicalId":262307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Big Data Mining for Global Warming","volume":"509 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115893485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
