Rainfall Statistics: Floods and extreme rainfall are the leading causes of natural disasters around the world. In recent years, due to global warming, such events have significantly increased, leading to thousands of innocent lives and economic losses. Rainfall is important in terms of economic, social, scientific, and cultural development across the world.
However, in recent years, rainfalls have become irregular; they either fall in slight or extreme numbers. Although our technology helps us to understand the patterns, impacts, and mechanisms, the safety of people remains the biggest concern. Let’s take a look at Rainfall Statistics to understand worldwide insights.
In 2023, excavators emitted around 38 percent of nitrogen oxides among all engineering machinery vehicles in China. Vehicles were one of the main sources of air pollution in China.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA), the independent and statistical agency of the Department of Energy (DOE), provided estimates of U.S. emissions of the principal greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), halocarbons (CFCs, HCFCs), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The report of greenhouse gas emission was mandated by the U.S. Congress through section 1605(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Title XVI).
The report contains many tables and statistics regarding U.S.
greenhouse gas emissions including: carbon emissions from energy
consumption, energy production, industrial sources, and energy-related
carbon emissions (such as from petroleum, coal and natural gas);
methane emissions from energy production and use, combustion,
landfills, agricultural sources (including domesticated and wild
animals and wetland rice cultivation); nitrous oxide emissions from
nitrogen fertilizer use, fossil fuel combustion, adipic acid
production, nitric acid production, and waste sources; CFC production;
criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile
organic compounds). Greenhouse gas emissions from land use changes
were also estimated.
The document includes an historical time series of energy-related
U.S. carbon emissions from 1949-1999.

ICARIA project had as one of its main purposes to develop coherent, reliable and usable downscaled climate projections from the last CMIP6 in order to construct the basis for efficient support to climate adaptation and decision-making of the related stakeholders, supporting the adaptation of critical assets within the project. These projections were obtained with also the purpose to be freely available for further use in subsequent studies and, hence, foster adaptation to climate change in more areas. Therefore, ICARIA’s climate information is already based on CMIP6 models and incorporating in its workflow the current SSPs. The presented high-resolution future climate projections display a unique dataset. These models will provide the scenarios to be considered within the Risk Assessment and the design and development of all adaptation measures coming as ICARIA outcomes.
For further details, find here a brief of the methodology followed:
-----
The statistical downscaling methodology applied in ICARIA by FIC, named FICLIMA (Ribalaygua et al. 2013), consists of a two-step analogue/regression statistical method which has been used in national and international projects with good verification results (i.e.: Monjo et al. 2016). The first step is common for all simulated climate variables and it is based on an analogue stratification (Zorita et al. 1993). An analogue method was applied based on the hypothesis that ‘analogue’ atmospheric patterns (predictors) should cause analogue local effects (predictands), which means that the number of days that were most similar to the day to be downscaled was selected. The similarity between any two days was measured according to three nested synoptic windows (with different weights) and four large-scale fields using a pseudo-Euclidean distance between the large-scale fields used as predictors. For each predictor, the weighted Euclidean distance was calculated and standardised by substituting it with the closest percentile of a reference population of weighted Euclidean distances for that predictor. This method is a good method for reproducing nonlinear relationships between predictors and the predictands, but it could not be used to simulate values outside of the range of observed values. In order to overcome this problem and obtain a better simulation, a second step was required.
For this second step, the procedures applied depend on the variable of interest. To determine the temperature, multiple linear regression analysis for the selected number of most analogous days was performed for each station and for each problem day. From a group of potential predictors, the linear regression selected those with the highest correlation, using a forward and backward stepwise approach.
For precipitation, a group of m problem days (we use the whole days of a month) is downscaled. For each problem day we obtain a “preliminary precipitation amount” averaging the rain amount of its n most analogous days, so we can sort the m problem days from the highest to the lowest “preliminary precipitation amount”. For assigning the final precipitation amount, all amounts of the m×n analogous days are sorted and clustered in m groups. Every quantity is finally assigned, orderly, to the m days previously sorted by the “preliminary precipitation amount”.
For wind or relative humidity, the second step is a transfer function between the observed probability distribution and the simulated one using the averaged values from the n = 30 analogous days. Particularly, a parametric bias correction was performed to the time series obtained from the analogue stratification (first step). In order to estimate the improvement of this procedure, the bias correction was also applied to the direct model outputs.
This second step done at a daily scale with an inner thorough verification procedure is essential and the main differentiating process of FICLIMA method. It extends beyond mean values to include extremes and covers all time scales, including daily intervals. With the verification it can be proven If the method correctly simulates changes from one day to the next, indicating an effective capture of the underlying physical connections between predictors and predictands. These physical links remain relatively consistent, even in the face of climate change (as opposed to purely empirical relationships that might shift). In essence, this approach theoretically addresses the primary challenge in statistical downscaling known as the non-stationarity problem. This problem questions the stability of predictor/predictand relationships established in the past, probing whether these relationships will persist in the future.

BackgroundCoastal areas in Guinea-Bissau and elsewhere in West Africa are bordered by mangrove forests. In several of these places, swaths of mangrove forest have been removed and the landscape has been technologically adapted for the production of mangrove rice–a regionally important staple. However, the effects of global warming, in particular sea-level rise, pose challenges to these socioecological environments. In this context, knowledge appears as an important resource and knowing what knowledge has been produced and which perspectives have guided that production may inform future responses to climate change. We have developed a systematic literature review protocol focusing on the main question: “How have mangrove forest and mangrove rice spaces been represented in the literature on Guinea-Bissau?” The main hypothesis is that although they occupy contiguous, interrelated and interactant spaces in coastal environments, mangrove forests and mangrove rice have been studied and analyzed independently in the literature.MethodsThis is a protocol for conducting a systematic review that will include academic and non-academic literature in Portuguese, English and French. The academic literature will be retrieved from both Web of Science and Scopus using Boolean expressions. The non-academic literature will be accessed from relevant institutions, specialized libraries, and reference lists of previously selected items. Data extraction will follow a standard procedure based on an information sheet. Our analysis will be both qualitative (inductive and deductive coding, content analysis) and quantitative (word clouds, descriptive statistics and statistical testing).DiscussionThis systematic review will provide information about the conceptual framework that has been produced through research, policymaking, and conservation and development programs in the management of coastal areas. This study will identify the limitations of previous approaches and contribute to both future research and strategies for planning adaptation to climate change. Finally, the outputs will add to broader debates about people-nature coexistence and climate change adaptation and mitigation.

In recent years, the world has been facing severe challenges from climate change and environmental issues, with carbon dioxide emissions being considered one of the main driving factors. Many studies have proven that activities in various industries and fields have a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions. However, few studies have explored the impact of gender on carbon dioxide emissions. This study aims to explore the potential impact of gender diversity on carbon dioxide emissions in the boards of directors of developed and emerging market enterprises. In addition, we also analyzed how board cultural diversity affects carbon dioxide emissions. We searched two European indices provided by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) from the Bloomberg database and conducted empirical analysis. We selected the MSCI index and MSCI emerging market index from 2010 to 2019 as samples and thoroughly cleaned up the data by removing any observations containing missing information on any variables. Statistical methods such as t-test, ordinary least squares, panel data analysis, regression analysis, and robustness testing were used for statistical analysis. At the same time, differential testing was conducted on sensitive and non-sensitive sectors, and the average representation of female boards in sensitive industries was low. The research results show that the proportion of female members on a company’s board of directors is negatively correlated with carbon dioxide emissions. This discovery is consistent with the legitimacy theory advocating for gender equality and environmental sustainability, emphasizing the importance of gender diversity in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, agency theory suggests that diversity may lead to internal conflicts within a company, leading to agency costs and information asymmetry. The research results show a negative correlation between board cultural diversity and carbon dioxide emissions, indicating the potential challenge of board cultural diversity. This study provides important insights for decision-makers and managers, not only inspiring corporate social responsibility and environmental policy formulation, but also of great significance for academic research in the field of climate change. Our research findings help deepen our understanding of the factors that affect carbon dioxide emissions in different sectors and countries, while also expanding the research field between gender diversity, cultural diversity, and environmental sustainability. Although this study still needs to be further expanded and deepened, it provides useful insights into the relationship between board gender and cultural diversity and carbon dioxide emissions.
