“…Based on downscaled data from 18 global coupled models, Zhuang and Zhang (2020) conducted highresolution projections of three climate indicators, including daily maximum temperature (T max ), daily minimum temperature (T min ), and diurnal temperature range (DTR), in the main BRI regions in the two periods of 2020-2039 and 2080-2099 for the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 relative to the historical period 1986-2005. Results show that the mean observed T max , T min , and DTR from 1986 to 2005 in main BRI regions are 17.88°C, 6.56°C, and 11.31°C, respectively.…”

Since its launch in 2013, the Chinese Road and Belt Innitiative (BRI) has grown into a platform for any countries and regions that wish to participate, with global connectivity as the orienting goal. However, since its inception, concerns over the BRI's potential impacts on ecology, environment and resilience, as well as its implications for global climate change and sustainability, have gathered force. As this thematic issue goes to press, these already complex BRI issues have been compounded by challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether and how the BRI can meet these challenges are questions worthy of deep exploration. This emerging BRI scholarship studied various aspects of BRI activities. However, major knowledge gaps remain regarding BRI impacts on GHG emission and on climate adaptation and sustainable resource management more broadly. To this end, this thematic issue aims to contribute to deeper understandings of climate and environmental changes along the BRI by bringing together state-of-art research and views on climate change patterns, trends, risks, impacts and adaptation.

“…In terms of temperature evolution breakpoints, a variety of statistical methods are mainly used to analyze whether there is heterogeneity or mutation point in the meteorological data series, or to detect the mutation time [14]. The asymmetry of temperature is mainly to study the relationship between daily maximum temperature, minimum temperature and the temperature difference between day and night [15], to formulate appropriate strategies to deal with climate change.…”

In recent years, the global temperature is continuously rising and has the trend of accelerating. The frequent occurrence of extremely high temperatures and heat waves has caused widespread concern from all walks of life. How to fully understand the change law of temperature becomes very important. In view of the temperature change in Xi’an, this paper introduces a new method called visibility graph to establish the temperature network in Xi’an. On this basis, firstly, this paper studies the relationship between temperature fluctuation and network degree. We find that short-term fluctuations do not cause long-term effects. Then, through the study of network degree distribution, it is revealed that the temperature network conforms to the law of power-law distribution. In addition, this paper also completes the community detection of temperature network, and finds that some communities have fewer nodes (between June and August), which means that the correlation between summer temperature and other seasons in Xi’an is low, and it is easy to form extreme weather. To sum up, the research in this paper provides a new theoretical method and research ideas for mining and mastering the variation law of temperature in Xi’an.

“…These result in day-to-day variability of maximum and minimum air temperatures. It is also worth emphasizing that variations in minimum temperatures are usually greater than those in maximum temperatures [3,4]. The variability of such changes in a year is probably uneven.…”

The primary purpose of the study was the determination of the spatial day-to-day variability of extreme air temperatures in Poland and the dependency of large temperature changes on atmospheric circulation in accordance with the Grosswetterlagen (GWL) classification. The goal was achieved based on data from 1966 to 2015, made available by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management—National Research Institute. Day-to-day changes in maximum and minimum air temperatures were designated with a rate of ≥6 °C (large) and with a rate of ≥12 °C (very large) and their spatial distribution was presented. Finally, the analysis of the dependency of considerable temperature changes on atmospheric circulation in accordance with the Grosswetterlagen (GWL) classification was conducted. The obtained results showed that in Poland in the period 1966–2015 there was a statistically significant increase in the number of large changes in both Tmax and Tmin. The number of large changes in Tmax increases from north to south, and the number of large changes in Tmin from north to east and south of Poland indicate the range of the effect of marine and continental properties on the climate of Poland and the influence of local relief as well as the atmospheric circulation impact. Large changes in Tmax occur more frequently in spring and in Tmin in winter. Large changes in Tmax and Tmin are mainly recorded during cyclonic circulation, however, the anticyclonic circulation types favour especially large decreases in Tmin.
