In this survey we contribute to the evaluation of the dependence between water balance of big dams towards climate and notably towards the rain and the evaporation. The modest and variable rain contrast with a high and less variable evaporation
. But the variability of inflow remain superior to the one of the rain and overtake from afar the one of the evaporation. - (BJ)

This research shows the changes occured in pluviometric variability in Benin. In effect, the comparative diagnosis of the number of rainy days, pluviometric indices and tendancies realised using the graphic method and the frequent analysis permit
to notice the changes in the statute of pluviometric variability over the periods 1941-1970 and 1971-2000. - (BJ)
Climatic data ; Climatic variability ; Meteorology ; Poland ; Seasonal variability ; Snow ; Snow cover ; Twentieth Century
The aim of the study is to investigate long-term changes and variability of snow cover in Poland in the 20th century. The investigation involved homogenised data on the snow cover duration and seasonal maximum depth of snow cover from 66

The paper presents new approach of bioclimatic evaluation of Poland based on bio-thermal indices derived from the human body heat balance. Seasonal and spatial variability of subjective Temperature (STI), Physiological Strain (PhS) and Heat Load
The paper presents comparative research of air circulation and variability of cloudiness. The meteorological data from Warsaw for the period 1951-2000 were taken into consideration. - (BJ)

The paper presents the analysis of the variability and tendencies of change (trends) of unfavourable biothermal conditions in Cracow. The study used the diurnal records of air temperature from Cracow in the years 1826-2002. It was concluded
Air temperature ; Brazil ; Climate ; Correlation ; Criminality ; Seasonal variability ; Urban area
Air temperature is related to certain deseases as well as to certain types of human behaviour, and can be correlated with criminality rates - not explain them. The observation of seasonal and daily variability of the air temperature in Brazil has
From the analysis of rainfall variability, it is possible to identify ruptures of stationnarity (for example the end of 1970's) in the forest area of Haut-Sassandra (mid-west of the Côte d'Ivoire) which correspond certainly to significant variations

The Gaik-Brzezowa and Szymbark series of daily weather observations and measurements was used to analyse the variability of the number of days with snowfall and the total snowfall during the cold season (Nov.-Apr.) in the period 1971-2000

Dry and wet years in the Near-East - Relationship with regional atmospheric circulation. Rainfall in the Near-East (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel) is characterized by a strong variability at inter-annual and monthly time scales. Three regional
More than half of the forests of Tunisia are in the North-West of the country where forest fires happen mainly during summer. The variations of fires (numbers and burnt surfaces) have been compared from 1990 to 2001 with the variability
This article presents a study of the wind spatial variability. The studied area is the Marne vineyard, where a better knowledge of the wind field can allow an improvement of the frost risk forecast. - (BJ)
considering all available variables - temperature, precipitations, humidity, sunshine, wind - has been performed. Climatic indexes useful for bathing tourism have also been calculated. - (BJ)
