	abstract = {Urban air temperature is a crucial variable for many urban issues. However, the availability of urban air temperature is often limited due to the deficiency of meteorological stations, especially in urban areas with heterogeneous land cover. Many studies have developed different methods to estimate urban air temperature. However, meteorological variables and local climate zone (LCZ) have been less used in this topic. Our study developed a new method to estimate urban air temperature in canopy layer during clear sky days by integrating land surface temperature (LST) from MODIS, meteorological variables based on reanalysis data, and LCZ data in Szeged, Hungary. Random forest algorithms were used for developing the estimation model. We focused on four seasons and distinguished between daytime and nighttime situations. The cross-validation results showed that our method can effectively estimate urban air temperature, with average daytime and nighttime root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.5 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.99) and 0.9 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.95), respectively. The results based on a test dataset from 2018 to 2019 indicated that the optimal model selected by cross-validation had the best performance in summer, with time-synchronous RMSE of 2.1 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.6, daytime) and 2.2 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.86, nighttime) and seasonal mean RMSE of 1.5 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.34, daytime) and 1.2 ℃ ( R 2  = 0.74, nighttime). In addition, we found that LCZ was more important at night, while meteorological data contributed more to the model during the daytime, which revealed the temporal mechanisms of the effect of these two variables on air temperature estimation. Our study provides a novel and reliable method and tool to explore the urban thermal environment for urban researchers.},

	abstract = {Since our climate is in a rapid changing phase, it is crucial to get information about the regional patterns of basic climatic parameters and indices. The EURO-CORDEX project provides high quality regional climate model outputs, but these raw datasets are not convenient for the application in wider geoscience studies. According to the authors’ knowledge, there is a lack in published spatial information about basic climate parameters and indices in Central-Europe and especially in the broader Carpathian region therefore the basic aim of this study to fill this gap. The study presents the future trends in daily air temperature and precipitation and various climatic indices in the broader Carpathian Basin region during the 21st century. The indices are calculated using multi-model average temperature and precipitation data from EURO-CORDEX model simulations for the future time periods (2021–2050, 2071–2100) and emission scenarios (RCP4.5, RCP8.5). The indices present the future trends of the heat load, energy demand as well as extreme precipitation and drought characteristics. Based on the results the temperature increase is obvious and the heat load and energy demand quantifying indices follow the temperature trend. However, the trend is difficult to evaluate in case of precipitation. The changes in the precipitation and the related indices can be considered small and appear within the regions. The future changes are the most considerable in the Carpathian Basin, but the entire examined region faces crucial changes in the following decades.},
