AbstractWater surface temperature is a direct indication of climate change. However, it is not clear how have China’s inland waters responded to climate change in the past using a consistent method on a national scale. In this study, we used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data from 2000 to 2015 to study the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of water surface temperature in China using the wavelet transform method. The results showed the following: (1) the freezing date of China inland water has shown a significant delaying trend during the past 16 years with an average rate of -1.5 d/a; (2) the shift of 0°C isotherm position of surface water across China has clear seasonal changes, which first moved eastward about 25° and northward about 15°, and then gradually moved back after the year 2009; (3) during the past 16 years, 0°C isotherm of China’s surface water has gradually moved north by about 0.09° in the latitude direction and east by about 1° in the longitude direction; (4) the inter-annual variation of water surface temperature in 17 lakes of China showed a similar fluctuation trend that increased before 2010, and then decreased. The El Niño and La Niña around 2010 could have impacts on the turning point of the annual variation of water surface temperature. This study validated the response of China’s inland surface water to global climate change and improved the understanding of the wetland environment’s response to climate change.

Abstract The knowledge of micrometeorological conditions on water surface of impoundments is crucial for the better modeling of the temperature and water quality parameters distribution in the water body and against the climatic changes. Water temperature distribution is an important factor that affects most physical, chemical and biological processes and reactions occurring in lakes. In this work, different processes of water surface temperature of lake’s estimation based on the energy balance method are considered. The daily meteorological data and the simulation results of energy balance components from an integrated heat transfer model for two complete years as well as the lake’s characteristics for Vegoritis lake in northern Greece were used is this analysis.The simulation results of energy balance components from a heat transfer model are considered as the reference and more accurate procedure to estimate water surface temperature. These results are used to compare the other processes. The examined processes include a) models of heat storage changes in relationship to net radiation (Qt(Rn) values, b) net radiation estimation with different approaches, as the process of Slob’s equation with adjusted coefficients to lake data, and c) ANNs models with different architecture and input variables. The results show that the model of heat balance describes the water surface temperature with high accuracy (r2=0.916, RMSE=2.422oC). The ANN(5,6,1) model in which Tsw(i-1) is incorporated in the input variables was considered the better of all other ANN structures (r2=0.995, RMSE=0.490oC). The use of different approaches for simulating net radiation (Rn) and Qt(Rn) in the equation of water surface temperature gives results with lower accuracy.

Abstract Estimating heat budget factors are important to understand the many physical processes of large lakes and their reaction to the atmosphere. Some of these components are affected by water temperature, while the other depends on atmospheric conditions. This paper estimates the total heat flux for Lawrence lake via a code developed in MATLAB environment. The code can deal with different time resolutions if the lake water surface temperature data were at different time resolutions from the meteorological data. Results showed that solar energy peaks at 842 Watt/m2 at 540 Julian day, which is very normal for a sunny summer day, while the longwave radiation has 204 Watt/m2 as a min value. The back radiation did not make any reaction for the variation, but it revealed a small gradient. Furthermore, evaporation recorded - 67 Watt/m2 as a minimum value at 659 Julian day and 360 Watt/m2 as a maximum value at 578.43 Julian day close to the maximum water surface temperature event.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was firstly identified in Wuhan, China. By 23rd January 2020, China’s Government made a decision to execute lockdown policy in Wuhan due to the rapid transmission of COVID-19. It is essential to investigate the land surface temperature (LST) dynamics due to changes in level of anthropogenic activities. Therefore, this study aims (1) to investigate mean LST differences between during, i.e., December 2019 to early March 2020, and before the emergence of COVID-19 in Wuhan; (2) to conduct spatio-temporal analysis of mean LST with regards to lockdown policy; and (3) to examine mean LST differences for each land cover type. MODIS data consist of MOD11A2 and MCD12Q1 were employed. The results showed that during the emergence of COVID-19 with lockdown policy applied, the mean LST was lower than the mean LST of the past three years on the same dates. Whereas, during the emergence of COVID-19 without lockdown policy applied, the mean LST was relatively higher than the mean LST of the past three years. In addition, the mean LST of built-up areas experienced the most significant differences between during the emergence of COVID-19 with lockdown policy applied in comparison to the average of the past three years.

Temperature is the first meteorological factor to be directly involved in leading ozone (O3) extreme events. Generally, upward temperatures increase the probability of having exceedance in ozone adopted thresholds. In the global climate change context more frequent and/or persistent heat waves and extreme ozone (O3) episodes are likely to occur during in coming decades and a key question is about the coincidence and co-occurrence of these extremes. In this paper, using 7 years of surface temperature and air quality observations over two cities from Morocco (Casablanca and Marrakech) and implementing a percentile thresholding approach, we show that the extremes in temperature and ozone (O3) cluster together in many cases and that the outbreak of ozone events generally match the first or second days of heat waves. This co-occurrence of extreme episodes is highly impacted by humidity and may be overlapping large-scale episodes.
