Open AccessPredicting malaria risk considering vector control interventions under climate change scenarios
Many studies have projected malaria risks with climate change scenarios by modelling one or two environmental variables and without the consideration of malaria control interventions. We aimed to predict the r...

Open AccessThe influence of the environment and indoor residual spraying on malaria risk in a cohort of children in Uganda
Studies have estimated the impact of the environment on malaria incidence although few have explored the differential impact due to malaria control interventions. Therefore, the objective of the study was to e...

Open AccessAtmospheric blocking events in the North Atlantic: trends and links to climate anomalies and teleconnections
Atmospheric blockings are generally associated with large-scale high-pressure systems that interrupt west-to-east atmospheric flow in mid and high latitudes. Blockings cause several days of quasi-stationary we...

Potential impact of climate change on the risk of windthrow in eastern Canada’s forests
Climate change is likely to affect windthrow risks at northern latitudes by potentially changing high wind probabilities and soil frost duration. Here, we evaluated the effect of climate change on windthrow ri...

Which downscaled rainfall data for climate change impact studies in urban areas? Review of current approaches and trends
Changes in extreme precipitation should be one of the primary impacts of climate change (CC) in urban areas. To assess these impacts, rainfall data from climate models are commonly used. The main goal of this ...

Open AccessEvaluation of daily precipitation statistics and monsoon onset/retreat over western Sahel in multiple data sets
The West Africa rainfall regime constitutes a considerable challenge for Regional Climate Models (RCMs) due to the complexity of dynamical and physical processes that characterise the West African Monsoon. In...

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the impact of climate change on a combined sewer overflow and its receiving water body
Projections from the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) for the southern part of the province of Québec, Canada, suggest an increase in extreme precipitation events for the 2050 horizon (2041–2070). The ma...

Open AccessAn alternative method to characterize the surface urban heat island
An urban heat island (UHI) is a relative measure defined as a metropolitan area that is warmer than the surrounding suburban or rural areas. The UHI nomenclature includes a surface urban heat island (SUHI) def...

Open AccessA nested multivariate copula approach to hydrometeorological simulations of spring floods: the case of the Richelieu River (Québec, Canada) record flood
Floods have potentially devastating consequences on populations, industries and environmental systems. They often result from a combination of effects from meteorological, physiographic and anthropogenic natur...

Open AccessRecent and projected future climatic suitability of North America for the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus
Since the 1980s, populations of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus have become established in south-eastern, eastern and central United States, extending to approximately 40°N. Ae. albopictus is a vector o...

Open AccessSensitivity of seasonal precipitation extremes to model configuration of the Canadian Regional Climate Model over eastern Canada using historical simulations
This study analyzes the uncertainty of seasonal (winter and summer) precipitation extremes as simulated by a recent version of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) using 16 simulations (1961–1990), cons...

Develo** a likely climate scenario from multiple regional climate model simulations with an optimal weighting factor
This study presents a performance-based comprehensive weighting factor that accounts for the skill of different regional climate models (RCMs), including the effect of the driving lateral boundary condition co...

An assessment of Canadian prairie drought: past, present, and future
Within Canada, the Canadian Prairies are particularly drought-prone mainly due to their location in the lee of the western cordillera and distance from large moisture sources. Although previous studies examine...

Evaluation of regional climate model simulations versus gridded observed and regional reanalysis products using a combined weighting scheme
This study presents a combined weighting scheme which contains five attributes that reflect accuracy of climate data, i.e. short-term (daily), mid-term (annual), and long-term (decadal) timescales, as well as ...
