Bhubaneswar is the first designed ‘smart city’ in India and has experienced rapid urbanization since 2000. The question undertaken in this study is to assess if there is a change in the rainfall over this rapidly urbanizing region, and if so, what are the characteristics of the change? The broader intent is to understand if the change in urbanizati...

Diurnal temperature range (DTR) is an important indicator of climatic change and a critical thermal metric to assess the impact on agriculture and human health. This study investigates the seasonal, annual and decadal changes in the spatio‐temporal trend in DTR and air temperatures (maximum: Tmax and minimum: Tmin) during 1951‐2016 and solar radiat...

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration is generally constrained due to lack of required hydrometeorological datasets. This study addresses the performance analysis of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimated from NASA/POWER, National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) global reanalysis data before and after dynamical downscaling thro...

... There are pieces of evidence of adaptation gaps i.e., the difference between actual adaptation and recommended adaptation (IPCC, 2022). Possible reasons are a misinterpretation of climate trends, and barriers like social, institutional, individual, technological, and economical at different levels (Mall et al., 2019;Singh, 2020;Mall et al., 2021). It may also be influenced by external factors that develop a biased belief (Myers et al., 2013). ...
... However, it should be noted Sensors 2023, 23, 7007 3 of 16 that higher spatial resolution does not necessarily imply higher precision [50]. The NASA-POWER platform (NP) is the most widely used to estimate ET 0 [51][52][53]. NP provides daily information on air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, radiation, wind direction, and speed; it is free and easily accessible. ...
