“…This has been used in the past for land cover change studies. 13,14 PIZA essentially indexes the influence of urban-related activities (including residential, commercial, and industrial) on agricultural land use. The PIZA code is derived from population-interaction index (PII), which provides a measure of potential interaction between nearby urban-related population and agricultural production activities, by effectively ranking each location or an area on a continuous scale from 1 to 4.…”

“…[8][9][10] There have been a number of studies that have indicated the impact of land cover change on local climate. [11][12][13][14] For example, Marshall 15 found that drainage and conversion of wetlands to agricultural land could increase the likelihood of the frequency, severity, and duration of freezes in south Florida. Similarly, Misra et al 13 found that the temperature trends for urban and rural regions of the southeastern US were different because of the contrasting impact of the land cover types in the two regions.…”

The potential role of land cover on secular changes of the hydroclimate of Peninsular Florida

et al. 2018

The seasonal cycle of Peninsular Florida rainfall is a robust feature that has monsoon like seasonality. We objectively define the onset, demise, and length of the wet seasons over the time period of 1948-2006 in Peninsular Florida based on daily rainfall from the Climate Prediction Center of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. This definition defines onset (demise) of the wet season of Peninsular Florida as the first day the daily accumulated precipitation anomaly reaches a minimum (maximum) for the year at a given grid point. A discernible linear trend of later onset, earlier demise, and a resulting shorter length of the wet season in urban areas relative to the rural areas is observed. The wet season accumulation of rainfall, however, does not reveal a proportional change in the linear trend implying a perceptible contrast of comparatively higher (lower) linear trend of the daily rain rate of the wet season over urban (rural) areas of Peninsular Florida.

“…S i n c e t h e s t r e n g t h of these atmospheric teleconnections are linearly dependent on the equatorial Pacific SST anomalies (Kumar and Hoerling 1998), it is reasonable to expect these teleconnections to be modulated by variations in the amplitude of ENSO SST anomalies (Diaz et al 2001). Using observations, several studies have shown that the positive (negative) phase of AMO weakens (enhances) the ENSO teleconnection with the SEUS rainfall (Enfield et al 2001;Mo 2010;Misra et al 2012;Nag et al 2015). Similarly, Diaz et al (2001) indicated ENSO teleconnections with North America have intensified post-1976.…”

“…We have, therefore, restricted discussions in this chapter to variations that could be reasonably resolved in the past 100 years. However, it is a challenge to isolate natural variability of climate when artificially-introduced variations from changes in location of observation, instrumentation, and method of measurement are not accounted for (Misra and Michael 2012). In addition, complex interactions in natural climate variation across space and time, as well as anthropogenic climate change, make understanding the manifestation of specific climate anomalies and weather events difficult.…”

Florida’s Climate: Changes, Variations, &Amp; Impacts

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Key Messages• Florida is a unique region to the east of the Rocky Mountains with a very distinct monsoonal type of wet season in the summer that distinguishes it from the rest of the seasons.• Florida's climate is as much affected by remote climate variations as local variability over land and its neighboring water bodies. Florida's climate is affected by more global scale natural variations like ENSO, AMO, PDO. Similarly, there is a discernible impact of local land cover and land use change on surface temperatures in Florida.• There are important interactions of the observed climate across time and spatial scales to consider. For example, the sea breeze over the Florida Panhandle is shown to be affected by the subtle variations of the Bermuda High. Similarly, ENSO forcing on Florida's winter climate is affected by decadal variations such as the PDO and the AMO.

Patterns in Land Cover Changes Around Weather Stations in South Korea

: Land cover around weather station can affect various climatic elements such as temperature, precipitation, wind and moisture. This study tries to reveal patterns and causes in land cover changes around weather stations in South Korea and to classify types of the land cover changes. The agricultural land, forest and used area have occupied most areas around un-relocated 47 weather stations with enough weather observation durations for the past 20-30 years. Area of the agricultural land shows steady decrease with remarkable areal decrease in the wetland, while steady areal increase is found in the used area. Due to urban expansions and new town developments around the weather stations, areas of the urbanization type (used area+barren) and suburbanization type (agricultural land+forest+grass+wetland) show steady increase and decrease, respectively. On the other hand, accurate changes in land cover are not reflected in the water-front type (wetland+water) due to errors and limitations in land cover classification using satellite images. It is expected that the results in this study can contribute to reliability and homogeneity enhancement of weather data.
