The sensitivity of present-time electricity demand on past climate change: a case study for Italy
Tập 2 - Trang 1-14 - 2015
A methodology for estimating secular daily minimum, mean and maximum (Tn, Tm and
Tx) temperature records for any urbanised point of a 30-arc-second-resolution
grid covering Italy is presented. It is based on the superimposition of
1961–1990 climatologies and departures from them (anomalies). The anomalies are
obtained by applying inverse distance weighting to 143 Italian high-quality
records, wher...
