Precipitation deficits increase high diurnal temperature range extremes

Abstract: The relationship between precipitation deficits and extreme hot temperatures has been documented in observation and modeling studies. However, it is unclear whether and how increases in maximum temperatures will impact diurnal temperature range (DTR) extremes. Here, we used observational data sets from meteorological stations in China to examine the trends in high DTR extremes from 1971 to 2013, represented by the percentage of high DTR days (%HDD) and maximum high DTR duration (MHDD), as well as their relatio… Show more

“…As a preliminary investigation, the spatio-temporal long-term average ALC of T max and T min obtained using EEMD shown in figure 1(a), reveals a bimodal pattern of T max , with the peak of T max appearing approximately one month earlier than that of T min . The lag between the peaks of T max and T min is chiefly attributed to the monsoon, western disturbances (extratropical storm originating in the Mediterranean region that brings sudden winter rain to the northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent), and expected higher night-time temperatures during monsoon/rainy days (Dai et al 1999, Rai et al 2012, He et al 2015, Vinnarasi et al 2017. The spatial variation of this peak value for T max and T min are shown in figures 1(b) and (c) respectively and the corresponding months of occurrences are shown in figures 1(d) and (e).…”

“…Increased soil exposure to solar irradiance (decreased Fg) can increase the amount of incoming radiation which is transformed into thermal energy stored in the soil during the daytime and released at night to enhance the nighttime air temperature (D'Odorico et al, ; D'Odorico et al, ; He et al, , ; B. He et al, ). While the forest land cover appears to have opposite effects to this research, D'Odorico et al () showed that in the cases of arctic and alpine tree lines and the transition between mangrove forests and salt marshes in coastal ecosystems, the warming effect at night is due to the ability of the canopy to reduce nocturnal radiative cooling.…”

“…Shrub encroachment has a similar mechanism as our research due to the transition from grassland to shrubland reduces the vegetation cover, which is similar to the decrease in Fg in this research. Increased soil exposure to solar irradiance (decreased Fg) can increase the amount of incoming radiation which is transformed into thermal energy stored in the soil during the daytime and released at night to enhance the nighttime air temperature D'Odorico et al, 2013;He et al, 2010He et al, , 2011B. He et al, 2015).…”

“…This novel mechanism was termed in-cell infection [2]. Given the formation of similar heterotypic cell-in-cell structures between other EC-lymphocyte pairs, such as epithelial tumor cells and T lymphocytes [3], we wonder whether in-cell infection also plays a role in mediating transmission of other viruses.…”
