A dynamic simulation model for maize growth and development, MZMOD, was used to assess the potential implication of the changes in both climatic means and variability, and the impacts of crop management in changing climate on maize production
in Northeast China. The impacts of the diverse distributions of climatic factors determined by multiple changes in climaticvariability on maize production and its variation, however, are not identical and have distinct regional disparities.
Two well dated Holocene sediment records bordering the Denmark Strait region have been used to reconstruct past climatevariability. The content of biogenic silica, clastic and organic material and moss in a lacustrine record from lake N14 has been
activity on northwestern Iceland. The aim is to provide both an overall view of the long-term Holocene development in the region and to analyse climatevariability anf triggering on a submillennial timescale.
used to infer past variability in precipitation and temperature in southern Greenland. Sedimentologic and petrologic composition of sand in a shelf sediment record from the Djúpáll trough is used to infer past variability in the northwestern storm
Réflexions sur la variabilité du climat actuel et le manque d'objectivité qui voudrait que le climat soit plus variable qu'il ne l'est. Ce qui devient plus aigu, c'est la sensibilité au climat et l'impact des événements exceptionnels en termes

Daily air temperature variability associated with climaticvariability at Colombus, Ohio
The purpose is to determine how the frequency of daily extremes of temperature are related to the seasonal mean temperature, its interannual variability and longer term variations among decades. The warmest winters and summers at Columbus occur

Après s'être interrogée sur le rôle du climat dans la structuration de l'espace et dans l'organisation spatio-temporelle des sociétés, l'A. détaille les principales méthodes et techniques de recherche utilisées pour mesurer, modéliser et prévoir la
variabilité du climat, afin d'estimer son impact sur les sociétés. - (JPB)

The objectives of this study are to determine the existence of any temperature variability trend(s) for the period 1951 through 1996, and to map temperature variability for China on a seasonal basis to depict the geographical patterns of thermal

was accompanied by increased moisture in some parts of the tropics. Several intervals coincide with major disruptions of civilization, illustrating the human significance of Holocene climatevariability.
Examination of 50 globally distributed paleoclimate records reveals as many as 6 periods of significant rapid climate change during the Holocene. Most of the climate change events in these globally distributed records are characterized by polar
This paper examines some likely consequences of climatic warming on the runoff and sediment regimes of a very diverse group of fluvial systems. It is suggested that research on climatic change impacts should focus on the ware and sediments
La variabilité des principaux éléments du climat a augmenté au cours des années récentes, à l'exception de l'humidité relative et des précipitations. Le Nordeste brésilien semble bien évoluer dans le sens d'un assèchement, avec une remarquable

The vulnerability of the renewable energy industry to climatevariability and change has become patently obvious with severe weather (droughts, heat waves, harsh winters) creating energy crises in various parts of the globe in recent years
. Consequently, the urgent need to forecast energy supply and demand has fuelled an interest in climatevariability and climate forecasting at the seasonal and inter-annual scales.
The paper presents the results of research dealing with climatevariability in north west Africa (Maroc). The droughts in the last 30 years of XX century are studied. - (BJ)

and their relation to climatic factors. Streamflow is generally stochastic highlighting the importance of factoring in temporal flow variability in water resources planning. There is no clear evidence that changes in climaticvariables are related to streamflow
This paper determines spatial and temporal changes in streamflow volumes in Botswana and their association with climatic factors based on the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test and ANOVA to determine possible changes in streamflow over the years
In this paper the nature, state and variability of the climate system are described briefly. Of particular importance in open systems such as components of the climatic system is feedback. Mathematical models provide a new way to not only understand
the climate's behaviour, but also to explore the possibility of future climate developments being predicted.
(17-23 year) and decadal (9-13 year) periodicities governed the climatevariability in Finland over the last five centuries. Despite the fact that many of the climatic periodicities bore great resemblance to periodicities of solar cycles, little
Statistical analysis of a multi-centennial dendrochronological proxy dataset of regional climate, constructed across the latitudinal gradient of 1000 km, was performed. It was shown that centennial (c. 100 year), tri-decadal (27-32 year), bi-decadal
evidence of actual solar influence on Finnish climate was found.
