Local changes in Bulgarian climate could have widespread impacts
Southwest Bulgaria has an unusual climate with Mediterranean temperatures in the summer and cold winters. New research indicates that there will be an increase in annual mean temperature in this region and suggests that climatic changes could have damaging environmental and socio-economic impacts. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported that the global average annual ...

CSM D - Highly accurate in low flow levels
Due to considerable economy measures made in the drinking water sector the discharge volumes within sewage networks decrease significantly. The impact of these measures is far-reaching. The consequences can be directly noticed as lower flow levels during flow measurements in channel networks. Some of the results are the higher risk of sedimentation and the stronger effects of hydraulic ...

Rainfall patterns cloud climate changes
The 20th century was neither much drier nor wetter for half the globe than many of its predecessors, European scientists say. On the contrary, they say several centuries in the last 1,200 years experienced much more variable rain and drought than the 1900s. Their findings, which are published with several caveats and which have not so far been replicated, differ markedly from the conclusions ...

Seamless Data Thanks to Mobile Weather Sensors
Around 20% of all accidents with serious injuries and deaths on the roads are weather-related. The weather is also the reason why more than 30 billion hours of driving time are lost each year and shipping companies worldwide lose 2 – 3 billion $ annually. But how can these dangers and losses be reduced? And how can we best deal with temperature and precipitation fluctuations on our traffic ...
