It is expected to hit Mumbai by June 13, three days later than normal.\nAccording to an official statement by the weather bureau on Thursday, the southwest monsoon has entered parts of the central Arabian Sea, coastal Karnataka, Goa and Konkan.\n“The monsoon pulse is currently over Vengurla in Sindhudurg district, north of Goa. As things stand today, there is rapid advancement and will probably reach Mumbai by June 13-14,” said Dr KJ Ramesh, director general, meteorology, India Meteorological Department (IMD). “There is rapid advancement even on the east coast because there is a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal. This will help the monsoon cover Odisha and Chhattisgarh by June 14.”\nMeanwhile, Mumbai recorded good overnight rainfall. Between 8.30 am Wednesday and 8.30am Thursday, the weather station at Santacruz, representative of the suburbs, recorded 12.4mm rain while the Colaba weather station, representative of south Mumbai, saw 28mm rain. The weather bureau predicted light to moderate rain over the next 24 hours from Thursday over both, the suburbs and south Mumbai.\nBetween Wednesday and Thursday, the maximum rainfall in the state was recorded at Vasai at 10cm, followed by Murud in Raigad district, Rahata in Ahmednagar district, Parola in Jalgaon district, all recording 7cm rain. Locations like Dahanu, Harnai and Jalgaon, recorded 5cm rain, while Panvel, Uran, Matheran, Jawahar and Rahuri recorded 4cm rain.\nLast year, the southwest monsoon arrived in Mumbai 10 days late by June 20. “Every monsoon and its advancement, is different. This year, however, owing to heating over the central peninsular, there is more availability of moisture, which is allowing the speedy advancement of the monsoon currents,” said Dr Ramesh.\nIMD officials said the southwest monsoon is likely to cover the entire central peninsular by next week. “We have issued a warning for fishermen along the Maharashtra coast not to venture into the sea owing to strong winds that are getting further intensified by the advancing southwest monsoon,” said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, head, weather forecasting services, IMD.\nFirst Published: Jun 09, 2017 09:27 IST", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Take the weather with me:\nMostly sunny with temperatures falling into the mid 60s.

Neuman’s strategy would cut that number by 136,000 tons.\nThe University’s sustainability efforts, which began in the 1990s, have saved the University $6.7 billion in electrical costs. “Twenty percent of our carbon footprint has been avoided through our conservation efforts over the years,” Neuman said.\nStrategies for reducing greenhouse gases include cutting combined heat and power by 25 percent, but 32 percent of the future cuts were labeled “To Be Decided.” “That’s just as it says — we don’t know where it’s coming from,” Neuman said. “It’s got to come from one of the other areas.”\nMore than half of the University’s greenhouse gas emissions are from electricity, and 32 percent are a result of heating systems.\nNeuman’s presentation was the first update on sustainability to the Board since June 2011.\n“Energy conservation [is] our biggest success story right now,” he said.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Extreme Weather Summer Scorecard – How Did You Fare?\nRemember when summertime meant living was easy? Summer used to be the season of backyard barbecues, trips to the beach, and vegetable gardens full of fresh produce. Those things aren’t gone, but these days summer seems more likely to be about dealing with heat waves, Category 5 hurricanes, and wildfires.\nIt’s not just your imagination that things are getting worse. The Union of Concerned Scientists’ Danger Season Tracker reported that this summer, 96% of Americans lived through at least one extreme weather alert from the National Weather Service. Only a handful of counties in the United States went all summer without receiving a warning.\nHow did your county fare this year?\nDanger Season Report\nIf you are one of the nearly 855,000 people who live in San Francisco County, Alaska’s Aleutians East Borough, Aleutians West Census Area, Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Kodiak Island Borough, or Norton City, Virginia, congratulations on a pleasant summer. Even though San Francisco has been rated the most climate-vulnerable city in the country, they had no extreme heat, flood, fire, or storm warnings between May 1 and August 29 in 2023.\nBut if you live in any of the United States’ remaining 3,224 counties and territories, you are among the 96% of Americans who faced at least one extreme weather warning this summer. The two counties with the most warnings were in Arizona – Coconino County with 146 alerts and Mojave County with 145. Together they faced heat waves, floods, and wildfires. Although these warnings include wildfire danger, they do not include associated air quality warnings resulting from wildfire smoke. In June alone, up to one third of Americans experienced hazardous air quality from wildfires. If air quality advisories had been included in UCS report, San Francisco would have been eliminated from the list of weather winners. Wildfire smoke resulted in hazardous air quality in San Francisco during the summer. That would have left only 39,500 Americans whose summer was never impacted by extreme weather in 2023.\nThe Danger Season Tracker is updated daily and does not show historical data. But you can find your county’s extreme weather summer score using Heatmap’s interactive graphic.\nClimate change is making summer begin earlier and last longer. First and last frost dates have been shifting, and one study predicts that by 2100, summer weather could last for six months while winter will have shrunk to only two. Wildfire season in the Western states is already two months longer than it was in the 1970s.\nWeather disasters are also getting bigger. Since 1980, the average number of billion-dollar disasters after adjusting for inflation had been 8.1 per year, but during the past five years the average more than doubled to 18. By mid-September 2023, the nation eclipsed the record for the greatest number of billion-dollar natural disasters in a single year.\nThe increase is alarming. At summer’s end, 24 billion-dollar disasters had struck ther U.S., including a drought, floods, 20 severe storms – including both a tropical cyclone and a winter storm – and one wildfire that caused a billion dollars in damages. These disasters took the lives of 373 people. Two events, Tropical Storm Hilary and hailstorms in Texas, had occurred too recently for total cost calculations but were likely to be added to the list.\nWhat to Do\nScientists used to say that individual weather events could not be directly attributed to climate change. But that is no longer true. A study indicated that the temperatures reached during Portland’s 2021 heat dome were virtually impossible to account for without anthropogenic climate change. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration concluded that climate change was a factor in 18 billion-dollar disasters in 2022. The most important things that any of us can do to prevent weather-related disasters are to shrink our carbon footprint and advocate for meaningful federal climate legislation.\nBut we can and should also work to prevent damage from climate change-induced disasters. Adapting to climate change means learning about the risks specific to your region and working to create community climate resilience.\nWhen you are moving, consider the climate risks – such as sea level rise, inland flooding and drought – in your new community.

Lows will be chilly - getting own into the mid-upper 30s.\nFriday is still looking pretty active as the low nudges closer to the coast and spreads not only showers, but cold, unstable air our way. That will allow the showers to build and gain some potency, perhaps graduating into heavy showers with some thunderstorms and small hail. In between the showers, the sun should peek out so it'll certainly be one of those \"if you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes\" kind of days. Temperatures will max out in the mid-upper 40s, but it'll be quite chilly near 40 inside and just after those passing showers.\nShowers continue Friday night into Saturday although thunderstorms should taper off in the hours after sunset. On the other hand, temperatures will drop into the mid 30s or so meaning any showers around Saturday morning still have the chance to mix in with some wet snow, especially above a few hundred feet. No accumulations expected, aside from a brief dusting on grassy surfaces (road temperatures well above freezing) and once showers pass, temperatures will rebound quickly. Official highs should reach the mid-upper 40s by the end of the day.\nAs for moisture, showers will be decreasing through the day, rain or wet snow, as the low moves well off to our south with sunbreaks way more dominant than showers by afternoon. The air will remain weakly unstable so a rogue afternoon shower can't be ruled out -- especially near the mountains -- but looking dry in general.\nSunday and Monday will remain mostly dry as high pressure begins to build well offshore. However, that ridge won't be providing too much protection and there is a very weak system expected into southern B.C. that could toss a few light showers our way either day, especially closer to the border.

Parts of the region are expected to have the warning expire on Thursday evening, but I have a feeling that a new red flag warning will be put into place until Saturday evening (which is the case for Gooding, Cassia and Twin Falls counties). While that does sound rather confusing as to who is within what, the big thing to really get out of this is that dry weather conditions and strong winds will allow any fire that is started to spread rather quickly through the weekend. Try to avoid starting any fires if you are able to, as you don’t want to be the person known to start a grassfire or wildfire!\nThursday was breezy and cooler around Southern Idaho, but warmer and not as breezy of weather conditions are expected for Friday, until some bigger changes arrive.\nThere really aren’t many (if any!) issues pertaining to the weather on Friday! Sunny skies, slightly above average temperatures and 5-15 mph winds are within the forecast. A little bit more smoke may return throughout the day, but it should not be bad at all.\nFor Saturday, expect stronger winds to return to Southern Idaho, as sustained winds will likely be in the 15-30 mph range. Temperatures will be a little bit warmer for Saturday compared to that of Friday, so there won’t be a drastic cool-down with the weather on Saturday. The winds truly are the biggest issue for the day, as partly cloudy skies are expected.\nA cold front is going to move through Southern Idaho on Sunday, which will result in quite a temperature drop when it moves through. There is still a little bit of disagreement as to what part of the day the cold front will move through Southern Idaho, but it now appears to be a late morning/early afternoon general time frame. Stronger winds will continue to be apart of the weather as well, as sustained winds will still likely be in the 15-30 mph range. There will be some showers to go along with this cold front as well, but as that cold front moves further to the southeast, it will lose some of the moisture within it. Nonetheless, the showers should help out the drought situation a little bit and the possibility is there that some snow will fall in the higher elevation locations. The lowest that rain/snow line looks to drop to is around 7,000 feet overnight Sunday into Monday. This means parts of the South Hills, Albion Mountains and mountains around the Wood River Valley could see some accumulating snow during this time frame. Of course, it isn’t like it will stick around forever, but the possibility is there for those areas to get snow. Be aware of this if you plan on driving through Galena Summit late Sunday into early Monday.\nTemperatures will likely stay below 60° for many southern Idaho towns and cities on Monday. As you can imagine, overnight lows will be seasonably chilly as well, with Tuesday morning having the coldest temperatures. I anticipate a lot of Southern Idaho to fall into the 30s for those overnight lows on Tuesday morning. Within parts of the Mini-Cassia Region and Wood River Valley as well as the Northern Magic Valley, overnight lows very well could fall into the 31-35° range. Monday morning and Wednesday morning will also be chilly starts to the day, but those given mornings should be 2-3° ‘warmer’ than Tuesday morning.\nAn area of high pressure looks to build in during the middle of next week and that should calm the weather down and warm it back up a bit. There may be another cold front by the Friday time frame, so continue to keep an eye on that as well.\nYou warm weather fans better enjoy Friday and Saturday (although the winds on Saturday aren’t ideal)!

The teams, using excavators to dig trenches, only work after dark due to the extreme heat of the day, the official Xinhua news agency reported.\nA severe heat wave is wreaking havoc across much of southern China. High temperatures have sparked mountain fires that have forced the evacuation of 1,500 people in the southwest, and factories have been ordered to cut output as hydroelectric plants cut output amid drought conditions. Extreme heat and drought have withered crops and narrowed rivers, including the giant Yangtze, disrupting cargo traffic.\nFed by major rivers in China, Lake Poyang averages about 3,500 square kilometers (1,400 square miles) in peak season, but contracted to just 737 square kilometers (285 square miles) during the recent drought.\nAs determined by water level, the lake officially entered this year’s dry season on August 6, earlier than at any time since records began in 1951. Hydrological records prior to this date are incomplete, although it looks like the lake is at or around its lowest level. level in recent history.\nIn addition to providing water for agriculture and other uses, the lake is a major stopover for migratory birds heading south for the winter.\nChina is more accustomed to dealing with the opposite problem: seasonal rains that trigger landslides and floods every summer. Two years ago, villages and fields of rice, cotton, maize and beans around Poyang Lake were flooded after torrential rains.\nThis year, a wide swath of western and central China experienced days of temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in heat waves that started earlier and lasted longer than usual.\nThe heat is likely linked to human-caused climate change, although scientists have yet to do the complex calculations and computer simulations to say for sure.\n“The heat is certainly breaking records and is certainly aggravated by human-induced climate change,” said Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center in the Netherlands. “Drought is always a bit more complex.”\nThe “truly breathtaking temperatures scorching China” are linked to a blocked jet stream – the river of air that moves weather systems around the world – said Jennifer Francis, a climatologist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts.\nShe said an elongated area of relatively high atmospheric pressure hovering over western Russia is responsible for heat waves in China and Europe this year. In the case of China, the high pressure prevents cool air masses and precipitation from entering the region.\n“When hot, dry conditions stay locked in, the ground dries out and warms up more easily, further strengthening the overhead heating dome,” Francis said.\nIn the hard-hit city of Chongqing, some malls have been told to only open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. to save energy. Residents sought respite in the cool air-raid shelters dating back to World War II.\nThis mirrors the situation in Europe and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, with high temperatures harming public health, food production and the environment.\nAssociated Press science writer Seth Borenstein in Washington, DC, contributed to this report.\nFor more on AP’s climate coverage, go to https://apnews.com/hub/climate-and-environment", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Swiss start-up Climeworks is working to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into a resource.

The TsunamiReady and StormReady programs are voluntary preparedness programs that establish guidelines for communities to follow for readiness. Communities adopt requirements in the areas of communications, warning reception and dissemination, public outreach, awareness and administrative planning.\n“StormReady and TsunamiReady encourage communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving public awareness and local response to hazardous situations,” said Nezette Rydell, warning coordination meteorologist at the NWS Forecast Office in Honolulu. “Thanks to the efforts of Mayor Alan Arakawa, the Maui County Civil Defense Agency, and others, Maui County has established the means to better protect the public from tsunamis and severe weather threats and we have furthered our agency’s mission to protect lives and property.”\nDuring a ceremony held at the Mayor’s office in Wailuku, Rydell presented Mayor Arakawa with two special signs identifying the communities as StormReady and TsunamiReady.\n“Maui becomes only the 13th community in the nation to receive the TsunamiReady designation and the first county in Hawaii to renew the StormReady designation,” said Rydell. StormReady started in 1999 with seven communities in the Tulsa, Okla., area. There are now more than 820 StormReady communities in 47 states, including Kauai County. The StormReady and TsunamiReady recognition will be in effect for three years when the communities will go through a recertification process.\n“Every year, around 500 Americans lose their lives to severe weather and floods,” said Brig. Gen. David L. Johnson, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), director of NOAA's National Weather Service. “More than 10,000 severe thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes impact the United States annually, and hurricanes are a threat to the Gulf and East Coasts. Potentially deadly weather can impact every person in the country. While tsunamis are rare, they can be deadly. That’s why the National Weather Service developed the StormReady and TsunamiReady programs.”\nTo be recognized as StormReady or TsunamiReady, a community must:\n- Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center;\n- Have more than one way to receive tsunami and severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public;\n- Create a system that monitors weather conditions locally;\n- Promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars;\n- Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.\n“Maui County successfully met the readiness criteria and was approved by an advisory board made up of county emergency managers, representatives from the Hawaii State Civil Defense and the NWS,” said Rydell.\n“Educating the public about tsunamis is one of our top priorities,” said Charles “Chip” McCreery, director of the Richard H. Hagemeyer Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach. “The TsunamiReady program will not only complement these efforts but will also help expedite county response when a tsunami warning is issued.”\n“The StormReady and TsunamiReady programs helped us improve the warning services that the county provides,” said Arakawa. “Although Maui hasn’t suffered extreme hurricane damage like Kauai, we have had our share of other severe weather, especially flash floods. When future disasters occur, a StormReady or TsunamiReady community will be better prepared for its citizens.”\n“Just like communities, families need to be storm ready or tsunami ready by having an action plan. Through the StormReady and TsunamiReady programs, the National Weather Service plans to educate every American about what to do during natural hazard events because it is ultimately each individual’s responsibility to protect him or herself. The best warnings in the world won't save you if you don't take action when threatened by severe weather or tsunamis,” Rydell added.\nNOAA’s National Weather Service is the primary source of weather data, forecasts and warnings for the United States and its territories. NOAA’s National Weather Service operates the most advanced weather and flood warning and forecast system in the world, helping to protect lives and property and enhance the national economy.\nNOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of our nation’s coastal and marine resources.\nDelores Clark, National Weather Service: (808) 532-6411\nRelated Web sites:\nNOAA’s National Weather Service Forecast Office Honolulu\nEditor’s Note: Logos or the StormReady and TsunamiReady programs are available online: http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/signs.htm", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Fort Wayne, IN 46801\nSnow likely.

These ground truth observations help aid in decisions in issuing watches, warnings and advisories. Not only will spotters learn how to observe the weather, they will also learn about valuable preparedness and safety tips. Trained spotters have been invaluable during weather events such as Post Tropical Storm Sandy, the February Blizzard of 2013, as well as during the Springfield Tornado. We are looking to attract as much interest as possible so we can expand our network and offer more extensive support to a greater area. Image below from www.obnoxiousbostonfan.com.\nThe effects of severe weather are felt every year by many Americans. To obtain critical weather information, NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, established SKYWARN® with partner organizations. SKYWARN® is a volunteer program with nearly 290,000 trained severe weather spotters. These volunteers help keep their local communities safe by providing timely and accurate reports of severe weather to the National Weather Service.\nAlthough SKYWARN® spotters provide essential information for all types of weather hazards, the main responsibility of a SKYWARN® spotter is to identify and describe severe local storms. In the average year, 10,000 severe thunderstorms, 5,000 floods and more than 1,000 tornadoes occur across the United States. These events threatened lives and property.\nSince the program started in the 1970s, the information provided by SKYWARN® spotters, coupled with Doppler radar technology, improved satellite and other data, has enabled NWS to issue more timely and accurate warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flash floods.\nSKYWARN® storm spotters are part of the ranks of citizens who form the Nation’s first line of defense against severe weather. There can be no finer reward than to know that their efforts have given communities the precious gift of time–seconds and minutes that can help save lives.

These storms and some early rain on Saturday morning brought widespread totals of over 50mm from Sydney up to the Mid North Coast. For some locations, such as Woolbrook in the North West Slopes and Plains, it was the highest total in a year. The storms brought bursts of heavy rain, with 16mm falling in just 10 minutes at Nobbys Head and 12mm in the same amount of time in Campbelltown.\nRain wasn't the only feature, with numerous reports of large hail, including Mount Victoria and around Orange. Damaging wind gusts also swept through the state's east as storms rolled through.

It was a very different story in the North West Slopes and Plains though. Within 200km of Gunnedah there were over 32 000 lighting strikes generated by the storms.\nThe trough has now moved off the NSW coast and has taken much of the storm activity with it.

Rainfall was expected to be an additional 1 inch or less for portions of eastern Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the U.S. storm center said.\nIn Bar Harbor, Maine, the touristy gateway to Acadia National Park, a whale watch vessel broke free of its mooring and crashed ashore Saturday. Authorities worked to offload 1,800 gallons of diesel fuel to prevent it from spilling into the ocean.\nLee flooded coastal roads in Nova Scotia and took ferries out of service while fanning anxiety in a region still reeling from wildfires and severe flooding this summer.

The 42-foot boat sank.\n\"They're very lucky to be alive,\" Mitchell said.\nLee shared some characteristics with 2012's Superstorm Sandy. Both storms were once-strong hurricanes that became post-tropical cyclones — cyclonic storms that have lost most of their tropical characteristics — before landfall. But Sandy caused billions of dollars in damage and was blamed for dozens of deaths in New York and New Jersey.\nLee also was not anywhere near as severe as the remnants of Hurricane Fiona, which a year ago washed houses into the ocean in eastern Canada, knocked out power to most of two provinces and swept a woman into the sea.\nDestructive hurricanes are relatively rare so far north. The Great New England Hurricane of 1938 brought gusts as high as 186 mph and sustained winds of 121 mph at Massachusetts' Blue Hill Observatory. There have been no storms that powerful in recent years.\nSeparately, Tropical Storm Nigel was strengthening and expected to become a hurricane by Monday, the U.S. hurricane center said. It appeared to pose no threats to the U.S. or Canada. It was about 990 miles northeast of the Lesser Antilles and about 1,115 miles east-southeast of Bermuda.

But experts on extreme temperatures say it probably is.\nSee Also: Desert Romance in Rainy Season\nChristopher C. Burt, the author of “Extreme Weather: A Guide and Record Book” and a contributor to Weather Underground, said that 122.4 degrees, or 50.2 degrees Celsius, appeared to be the hottest reliably measured April temperature “in modern records for any location on Earth.” Only one reading might challenge it: 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit, or 51 degrees Celsius, recorded in Santa Rosa, Mexico, in April 2011. But Mr. Burt said that measurement was “questionable because the site was a regional observation site and not of first order.”\nAn official W.M.O. weather station near Santa Rosa recorded a lower temperature that day: 48.6 degrees Celsius, Maximiliano Herrera, a climatologist who maintains a large database of global temperatures, wrote in an email forwarded by Mr. Burt.\nMr. Herrera said he was aware of only two other occasions on which temperatures reached 50 degrees Celsius in April: once last year in Larkana, Pakistan, and once in 1998 in Aquismón, Mexico, although the measurement in Aquismón was also recorded at a regional site. On neither of those occasions did the temperature reach 50.2 degrees, as it did in Nawabshah on Monday.\nA large area of high pressure over the Indian Ocean, known as a heat dome, is to blame. Another heat dome brought 113.9-degree temperatures to Nawabshah in March, setting a national record for that month. Several other countries in Asia also broke their heat records for March. And temperatures will only increase as spring turns to summer.\nIntense, life-threatening heat waves have become more frequent as the climate has warmed, and Asia has been especially hard-hit.

We are experiencing this now, and fortunately the fact that it happens on a weekend makes it more enjoyable still.\nOnce again, the jet stream is the reason for this tranquility. During summer months when the difference in temperature between the Polar regions and the mid latitudes is less than in winter, the jet stream changes from a more direct west to east flow and becomes a meandering wave. “Wave” may not be a term that you think about with air but just like the water waves, air is a fluid and behaves according to the same laws of physics. In this case, imagine the jet stream meandering far to the north and then far to the south as it progresses toward the east. The weather systems that are being pushed along by this wave appear to stay stationary overhead for a longer period of time than during winter’s speedy flow.\nSometimes the meandering flow can become disjointed – separated if you will – and a weather system will become isolated from the main jet stream. This is described as a “cutoff” because it is in fact cut off from the flow, and the jet separates to the north and south of it.

When Hurricane Ida pummeled Louisiana early this month, a heat wave exacerbated the impacts of the storm.\nThe compounding consequences of extreme heat don't fall equally across communities. A\nrecent study from the University of California, San Diego, found that low-income neighborhoods and communities with high Black, Hispanic and Asian populations experience significantly more heat than wealthier and predominantly white neighborhoods.\nIt reflects an\nearlier study that traces the legacy of neighborhood redlining, the government-sanctioned effort in the 1930s to segregate people of color by denying them housing loans and insurance. While redlining was banned in the late 1960s, remnants of the discriminatory practice are still apparent.\nThe research analyzed 108 cities in the United States and found that 94% of historically redlined neighborhoods are disproportionately hotter than other areas in the same city.\nRedlined neighborhoods typically suffer the most from the\nurban heat island effect, according to the study, in which some urban areas can be up to 20 degrees hotter than neighborhoods just a few blocks away. Areas with a lot of asphalt, buildings and freeways absorb more of the sun's heat than areas with parks, rivers and tree-lined streets.\nVivek Shandas, lead author of the redlining study and professor of climate adaptation and urban policy at Portland State University, said in addition to historic planning policies, the materials used to construct buildings also play a huge role in amplifying the most severe effects of extreme heat, particularly in low-income apartment complexes.\n\"What we end up seeing, as these higher density buildings are made of materials that are often able to withstand a heavier load from the multiple floors, is that they're made out of concrete and steel, which amplifies heat,\" Shandas previously told CNN. \"So not only do we have historic planning policies that are creating a distribution of heat that's inequitable, we're also seeing the kinds of buildings that are going into historically disinvested neighborhoods are those types of buildings that retain the sun's solar radiation, and then amplify it.\"\nThe effect is striking on the walk from Manhattan's Central Park to East Harlem, says Sonal Jessel, director of policy at the Harlem-based nonprofit WE ACT for Environmental Justice.\nThe trees that dot the wealthy and predominantly white Upper East Side neighborhood begin to disappear, Jessel says. In contrast, East Harlem, a diverse and historically marginalized neighborhood, is surrounded by freeways and streets, has less tree cover and more industry.\n\"Ultimately, I describe extreme heat as such a risk-multiplier,\" Jessel told CNN. \"It's not an issue that exists in a vacuum at all, and lower-income communities or communities of color bear the brunt of all these different hardships.\"\nPortland, Oregon, and Seattle, two major cities that got scorched by the June heat wave, rank first and third, respectively, among cities with the highest proportion of households without air conditioning, according to a\nUS Census Bureau survey of 25 major metropolitan areas. Experts say those least likely to have air conditioning are the people who will endure the worst heat — historically underserved communities.\n\"And unfortunately, we're not well prepared, just generally speaking in the Pacific Northwest, for heat,\" Shandas said. \"That's where the human side of it comes up, whether people are recognizing that they're actually experiencing some level of heat stress and it might be an unfamiliar experience for them.\"\nJune Spector, a professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle, said heat exhaustion is one of the most common heat-related illnesses, yet many remain unaware of its symptoms.\n\"You haven't quite gotten to that point where the core body temperature has gone up, but you feel nauseous, have a headache, you feel very fatigued, and you're probably somewhat dehydrated if you've been in a really hot environment,\" Spector told CNN. \"Having that awareness is really key because you don't want to not treat that or not address that before it gets more serious.\"\nSome cities are already taking steps to tackle the ripple effects of extreme heat. In\nChicago and Philadelphia, city governments are offering financial incentives to install green roofs to cool cities and combat urban heat. In Dallas, urban green spaces are set to be built in some of the most heat-sensitive areas of the city. In Los Angeles, some streets are being painted with a grayish-white coating to prevent absorbing energy from the sun, and instead reflecting it back.\nIn New York, Jessel has been overseeing a flurry of sustainable and equitable heat action plans, implementing an initiative that focuses on heat, health and equity. A big part of that initiative is ensuring low-income renters are well equipped to deal with extreme heat while simultaneously mitigating climate change through energy-efficient buildings.\nExperts say climate change-fueled disasters are becoming a public health issue. Some, like extreme heat, are turning into\nmass casualty events. Experts such as Jessel and Spector say such plans need to be equitable to avoid the most pernicious public health impacts.\n\"It's really up to us to figure out how can we mitigate that and kind of halt climate change if possible,\" Spector said, \"but really adapt to it and figure out how we can make our communities safer for everyone.\"\nThese are the 20 most humid cities in America\nMost humid cities in America\nVapor in the air, referred to as humidity, can be both helpful and harmful. Humid air helps plants thrive, helps fend off the flu, and brings much-needed rainfall to dry areas. It also agitates allergies and asthma, while causing\na host of heat-related health problems. Shifts in humidity aren’t uncommon, and minor fluctuations can quickly turn a leisurely walk in the park into a hot, sweaty ordeal.\nSeasonal temperatures, geography, and infrastructure are all factors that make a city humid. Climate change\naffects global humidity levels in a myriad of harmful ways. Urbanization, deforestation, and a shift in irrigation practices has caused humidity to increase with consequences for cities and the people that live in them.\nTo find the most humid cities in America,\nDuradry analyzed data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Comparative Climatic Data. The Comparative Climate database uses data from land-based weather stations and contains data from the 1950s through 2018. Humidity was measured using relative humidity, defined as “a percentage measure of the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at the same temperature and pressure.” Duradry averaged relative humidity from both morning and afternoon measurements to rank 20 American cities. Places with less than 50,000 people according to the U.S. Census were removed.\nA city’s proximity to water increases the amount of moisture in the air. Desert cities like Las Vegas have\nlow humidity levels, while their coastal counterparts—like a particularly popular vacation spot in Florida—are listed here among America’s most humid cities. Cities that see hot summers and cold winters experience the effects of added moisture in the air. In warmer temperatures, weather reports refer to the combination of air temperature and relative humidity as the “ heat index.” As the heat and relative humidity rise, they drive up the heat index, causing it to feel hotter outside.\nCities usually experience higher humidity than rural areas. In the summers, air conditioners and other machinery generate heat, while buildings absorb it. In rural areas with more greenery, heat evaporates in the evenings to keep the air cooler. Concrete in urban centers doesn’t allow for proper evaporation, leading to\nmore humidity in cities.\nKeep reading to find out which 20 cities in America experience the most humidity, and find out how and why it affects these spots in the country more than others.\n#20. Gainesville, Florida\n- Average relative humidity: 72.5%\n- Morning average: 82.3%\n- Afternoon average: 51.6%\nSurrounded by water, the Florida peninsula is frequently impacted by extreme weather conditions like hurricanes during the summer months. According to\na 2018 study by climate researchers, heat waves and intense temperatures are becoming more frequent in Florida cities, and Gainesville, in the heart of the peninsula, is no exception. Home to the University of Florida, vacationers and snowbirds are encouraged to visit cities like Gainesville during the winter months, as the temperatures dip and weather patterns become more manageable.\n#19. Green Bay, Wisconsin\n- Average relative humidity: 72.8%\n- Morning average: 76.4%\n- Afternoon average: 57.9%\nAt the entrance of the Fox River, Green Bay, Wisconsin’s humid continental climate sees severe and extreme variances in temperatures between seasons. In June 2021, the city experienced its\nearliest heat wave since 1988. With 90 F heat over five consecutive days, Green Bay has been heavily impacted by the humidity. A recent storm downed the power across Wisconsin, while a tornado was in effect in and around Green Bay in August 2021. Consistently heightened weather conditions signal a larger issue related to climate change. Home of the National Football League’s Green Bay Packers, the city is a trading and manufacturing hub in northeastern Wisconsin.\n#17. Waterloo, Iowa\n- Average relative humidity: 73%\n- Morning average: 77.8%\n- Afternoon average: 56.9%\nAbout 92 miles down the road from Dubuque is the city of Waterloo, Iowa. The city has seen the heat index rise to extreme levels, triggering the media to issue heat warnings and suggest\nways to avoid heat stroke. Iowa is the leading producer of corn in the U.S., and its corn fields have something to do with the humidity levels in its eastern cities. The amount of moisture corn releases into the atmosphere coupled with the southerly winds from the Gulf of Mexico are what make Iowa so humid. Part of Black Hawk County, Iowa’s Waterloo is home to the ever-popular Iowa Irish Fest.\n#16. Grand Forks, North Dakota\n- Average relative humidity: 73.1%\n- Morning average: 76.8%\n- Afternoon average: 58.2%\nLocated in the Red River Valley, Grand Forks, North Dakota, is a trade and agricultural center that sits along the border of Minnesota. With each snowmelt comes the North Plains’ usual wet cycle. This has been contributing to more\nfrequent floods in recent years. The warmer temperatures, wetter conditions, and climate-related factors like urbanization have caused the moisture in the air to stay put. Excess moisture has increased the relative humidity of this North Dakotan city.\n#13. Eugene, Oregon\n- Average relative humidity: 73.5%\n- Morning average: 79.4%\n- Afternoon average: 56.4%\nThe causes of humidity differ depending on whether a city is located on the West or East Coast. Nestled in the greenery of the Willamette Valley, Eugene sits on the Willamette River in the coastal state of Oregon. The West Coast can be less humid than the Eastern Seaboard, and Eugene benefits from the cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean. As far as West Coast cities go, Eugene has been able to avoid the intense weather patterns that have impacted other cities as a result of the climate crisis. However, this could change with more frequent excessive heat warnings. With rising temperatures of up to 105 F in the summer months, climate change in Oregon has had fatal consequences.\n#12. Rochester, Minnesota\n- Average relative humidity: 73.8%\n- Morning average: 76.9%\n- Afternoon average: 59.3%\nAn hour and a half down the road from Minneapolis, the city of Rochester sits in the south of Minnesota. With a humid climate, the residents of Rochester feel the intense impact of its cold winters and hot summers. Rochester has begun to see\nthe effects of climate change in significant ways. The rise in temperature has led to an increase in air vapor. While that doesn’t seem dire, when the effects of climate change beyond the Minnesota border start to spill into the state, it can become problematic. The increase in the number of wildfires that have torn through the country in recent years have undoubtedly impacted conditions in southeast Minnesota.\n#11. Baton Rouge, Louisiana\n- Average relative humidity: 73.8%\n- Morning average: 82.2%\n- Afternoon average: 54.1%\nMore humid than its eastern counterparts in Florida, Louisiana’s geography has a bearing on its humidity levels. With light summer winds and sky-high humidity, Louisiana has the most oppressive heat, according to\na 2018 Forbes report. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has had to face the effects of a warming planet head-on in recent years. Floods, intense rainfall, and seasonal humidity have all contributed to the city’s extreme weather conditions. French for “the red stick city,” Baton Rouge is the state capital, and this southern city is home to Louisiana State University and boasts views of the winding Mississippi River.\n- Average relative humidity: 74.1%\n- Morning average: 82.6%\n- Afternoon average: 54.2%\nSurviving the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, followed by a flash-freeze in February 2021, Texans have experienced some of the country’s most intense weather events. The effects of climate change continue to play out in a variety of destructive ways. With efforts to combat the heat and\nofficial heat advisories, Houston is taking measures to protect its people from the health consequences of rising relative humidity. Houston is quite literally an energy capital. This Texan city is the U.S. headquarters for the energy sector and employs a significant number of employees in oil and gas.\n#9. Victoria, Texas\n- Average relative humidity: 74.6%\n- Morning average: 83.1%\n- Afternoon average: 54.6%\nBetween Houston and San Antonio, Texas, by the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the city of Victoria is seated along the Guadalupe River. Moisture surging up from the Gulf is the primary\ncause of high humidity levels in the region. This Texan city has seen heat indexes skyrocket to triple digits in June 2021. The Guadalupe River is also a source of moisture, and causes moderate flooding. The planet’s rising temperatures have clearly had an effect on this city’s humidity levels in measurable ways.\n#8. New Orleans\n- Average relative humidity: 74.6%\n- Morning average: 80.2%\n- Afternoon average: 57.5%\nIn 2005, Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the city of New Orleans and its livelihood. Climate change has caused nighttime temperatures in the summer to\nrise at alarming rates, even faster than daytime highs. Prolonged heat waves led to a relative humidity that won’t let up. With only 50% of the city above sea level, it is consistently left vulnerable to the negative effects of heat and extreme weather conditions. The site of annual Mardi Gras celebrations and the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana.\n#7. Brownsville, Texas\n- Average relative humidity: 74.8%\n- Morning average: 82.8%\n- Afternoon average: 55.4%\nWhile Death Valley, Las Vegas, and Phoenix make it into the “triple-digit club” exceeding temperatures of 100 F each year, the heat is dryer than the vapor-heavy humidity in the Southern states like Texas and Louisiana. The moisture may keep the heat in the double digits, but the “feels like” temperatures tend to send the heat index over 100 F on more than one occasion in the warmer months. Brownsville is situated in South Texas along the border of Mexico, right on the western Gulf Coast. The highest\ntriple-digit temperatures it recorded were 12 days in 2019.\n#6. Corpus Christi, Texas\n- Average relative humidity: 75.2%\n- Morning average: 82.3%\n- Afternoon average: 56.5%\nIts position along the shores of Texas directly exposes Corpus Christi to tropical moisture pouring in from the Gulf of Mexico. The heat index of relative humidity combined with hot temperatures drove\nCorpus Christi’s heat index to 108 F in July 2021. Media outlets warned gardeners and people working outdoors to hydrate and take frequent breaks from the sun. The frequency of floods has been a direct result of climate change. While weather conditions continue to ravage the coast, Corpus Christi continues to sink.\n#5. Olympia, Washington\n- Average relative humidity: 75.9%\n- Morning average: 81.4%\n- Afternoon average: 58.8%\nA city in the Pacific Northwest, Olympia is flanked by lakes and forests in the state of Washington. The capital of Puget Sound, Olympia is not accustomed to the humid heat waves that most commonly blaze through the Southern and Eastern Seaboard during the summer months. However, in recent years,\nthe West Coast’s destructive wildfires have caused evacuations, power outages, and poor air quality. This has signalled a change in the climate of the region. Early in the summer of 2021, the city announced an extreme heat watch when triple-digit, record-breaking temperatures were expected. Evening temperatures failed to drop enough to cool the city down, driving up humidity with no end in sight.\n#4. Lake Charles, Louisiana\n- Average relative humidity: 76.0%\n- Morning average: 83.2%\n- Afternoon average: 57.0%\nLouisiana’s subtropical climate is enough to send heat waves coursing through the state on any given day in the summer months. Combined with the stream of warm southern winds from the Gulf of Mexico, though, the humidity can hit the roof. Tourism in coastal cities like Lake Charles extends to\nfishing and other outdoor activities. In cities like this one, the effects of climate change go beyond the obvious dangers of flooding and storms. Warmer summers can make it nearly impossible to remain outdoors, while the rising temperatures can lead to fish kills or harmful algae blooms, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency.\n#3. Galveston, Texas\n- Average relative humidity: 76.2%\n- Morning average: 76.5%\n- Afternoon average: 64.2%\nGalveston is an island city off the coast of Texas that has seen the devastating effects of intense weather patterns. It is the site of the\nGreat Galveston Storm, which tore through the coast in September 1900 and is still considered the worst hurricane in U.S. history. Island cities do tend to benefit from more moderate “maritime” temperatures compared to cities farther away from the coast. Galveston experiences high humidity in the summer months with relief in the form of thunderstorms. The island city continues to undergo a transformation due to man-made activities and natural forces, says The Center for Texas Beaches and Shores.\n#2.

Volcanic activity can also cause lightning. Lightning and thunder happen because of electrostatic discharge between the cloud up there and the ground down below.\nWell, lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a discharge of electricity. A single stroke of lightning can heat the air around it to 30,000°C (54,000°F)!\nScientists are still trying to work out exactly how lightning forms, but we know it has something to do with the interactions between positive and negatively charged ions A Flash of Lightning. A few extra items to look into are: lightning phenomena, a clap of thunder, or it’s still a bit of a mystery.\nThis begs the question “Is Thunder a cause or an effect of lightning?”\nThunder starts as a shockwave from the explosively expanding lightning channel when a large current causes rapid heating.

They further added, while this is partly because the monsoon arrived after a delay of seven days, on June 8, severe cyclonic storm Vayu that started developing on June 11 disturbed the monsoon flow and affected its normal advancement.\nMonsoon is expected to advance further up north as Cyclone Vayu loses intensity paving the way for the wind system to move towards the Arabian Sea, the weatherman said on Sunday.

The western coast – from Maharashtra to Gujarat – has been receiving rainfall due to the cyclone. Only coastal Karnataka and Kerala have received rains due to monsoon.\nVayu is expected to cross the Gujarat coast on Monday evening as a depression. This will pave the way for monsoon winds to move up towards the Arabian Sea. Monsoon made an onset over Kerala on June 8, nearly a week after its usual onset date.\nDevendra Pradhan, additional director general, IMD said, “The progress of monsoon was halted due to Cyclone Vayu.

The EPA contends that these NSPS rules are required under the Clean Air Act based on the Supreme Court ruling in 2007 that GHG emissions constitute air pollution, and the subsequent EPA “endangerment finding” for GHGs in 2009, resulting in regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. The proposed emissions standards limit carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from new electric utility power plants to 1,000 pounds of CO2e per megawatt-hour of electricity produced (1,000 lb/MWH) for new power plants with electric generation capacities greater than 25 MW.\nThe proposed standards can be met by natural gas-fired power plants that employ the most efficient “combined cycle” configuration. However, because CO2 emissions from coal and oil combustion are significantly higher than from natural gas combustion (about 80% and 40% higher, respectively), coal-fired and oil-fired power plants will not be able to meet the proposed standard without the use of CO2 add-on pollution controls.\nUnlike other air pollution control systems, capturing CO2 emissions from a power plant is a huge undertaking because of the magnitude of the CO2 emissions compared to conventional pollutants like PM, NOx, or SO2. For every ton of carbon burned (fossil fuels are primarily carbon), more than three tons of CO2 are produced by oxidation of the carbon with air. Capturing the CO2 is extremely energy intensive and can be expected to lower the overall electric generation efficiency of a coal power plant by 8-12% due to the electric needs to operate a scrubber system. Once the CO2 is captured it needs to be compressed and piped to an underground location where it can be geologically “sequestered” without the risk of releasing CO2. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has only been used commercially in the oil and gas industry as a means of extracting oil and gas from older wells. There are no US coal power plants using CCS other than a pilot system piping CO2 to Canada oil-fields where there are some concerns about CO2 seeping back out of the ground. CCS also involves significant legal liabilities associated with injection of CO2 underground and the difficulty of obtaining permits for underground injection in many locations. In recognition of these technical/economic challenges, EPA is proposing a 30-year compliance period for new power plants.\nThe proposed carbon standards are significant because industry is concerned they will set precedent for future EPA GHG emission rulemaking. In addition, the proposed standards are based on achievable GHG emission levels for one type of fuel (i.e., natural gas) and are being imposed on power plants that combust other fuels (e.g., coal). As such, the rule appears to favor one fuel over another and may in effect mandate fuel switching, which is contrary to past EPA precedent and the commonly accepted notion that the Clean Air Act does not authorize the EPA to redefine source categories or to mandate fuel switching. Consequently, legal challenges to the proposed EPA rule are almost a certainty.\nThe current very low price of natural gas (gas is less expensive than coal on a $/Btu basis as of April 2012 for the first time ever), that has been driven in part by the large new supply of shale gas to the US market, has resulted in the announced closure of over one hundred US coal power plants (108 closures announced as of 5/3/12) for economic reasons. Recent environmental regulations promulgated by the EPA, including the Utility Mercury and Air Toxic Standard (MATS) and the 1-Hour SO2 NAAQS standard, are also contributing to the nation’s move from coal electric generation to gas and nuclear electric generation and the increased use of renewables like wind, solar, and hydro.\nFor more information on the EPA proposed carbon standards and other GHG regulations including the federal Part 98 GHG reporting rule and the Tailoring Rule, contact Liberty Environmental at 610-375-9301.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "There are no active alerts at this time.\nCloudy and damp with rain in the morning...then becoming partly cloudy.

The electricity consumption for commercial, residential, and industrial sectors is considered the primary cause of increasing carbon dioxide emissions. To calculate the carbon footprint, the researcher used Carbon Footprint Ltd. This study aims to quantify the carbon footprint associated with the consumption of electricity by sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, public buildings, and streetlights) in Butuan City during the pre-lockdown period (January and February), and then compare these with the carbon footprint calculated during the lockdown period (March and April 2020). A GIS-based approach was applied to generate the spatial distribution across the 86 barangays of Butuan City. The study findings that the carbon footprint in the lockdown period is ∼ −17% lower than the mean carbon footprint calculated for the pre-lockdown period. In absolute values, the total estimated carbon footprint during the pre-lockdown and lockdown period was ∼ 10,947 mtCo2e and ∼ 9,138 mtCo2e, respectively. Furthermore, the findings imply that the central and northern areas have the highest impact of savings on average ∼ 130 mtCo2e of greenhouse gas avoided by barangays.

The assumption that prior to the industrial revolution the Earth had a \"stable\" climate is simply wrong. The only sensible thing to do about climate change is to prepare for it.\n2. Accurate temperature measurements made from weather balloons and satellites after about 1970 show at most minor atmospheric warming since then. In contrast, averaged ground-based thermometers record a warming of about 0.40 C over the same time period. Many scientists believe that the thermometer record is biased by the Urban Heat Island effect.\n3. Despite the expenditure of more than US$40 billion dollars on climate research since 1990, no unambiguous anthropogenic (human) signal has been identified in the global temperature pattern.\n4. Without the greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature on Earth would be -180 C rather than the equable +150 C that has nurtured the development of life.\nCarbon dioxide is a minor greenhouse gas, responsible for ~3.6% of the total greenhouse effect, of which only a miniscule 0.12% can be attributed to human activity. (Water, at ~95% of the effect, is by far the most important component in the atmosphere; what was that about hydrogen-powered cars?)\n5. On both annual (1 year) and geological (up to 100,000 year) time scales, changes in temperature PRECEDE changes in carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide therefore cannot be the primary forcing agent for temperature increase (though increasing carbon dioxide does cause a mild positive temperature feedback).\n6. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been the main scaremonger for the global warming lobby, leading to the Kyoto Protocol. Fatally, the IPCC is a political, not scientific, body.\nHendrik Tennekes, recently retired as Director of Research at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, says that \"the IPCC review process is fatally flawed\" and that \"the IPCC wilfully ignores the paradigm shift created by the foremost meteorologist of the twentieth century, Edward Lorenz\".\n7. The Kyoto Protocol will cost up to 100 trillion dollars, will have a devastating effect on the economies of those countries that have signed it, but will deliver no significant cooling (less than .020 C by 2050).\nThe Russian Academy of Sciences says that Kyoto has no scientific basis; Andre Illarianov, senior advisor to Russian president Putin, calls Kyoto-ism \"one of the most aggressive, intrusive, destructive ideologies since the collapse of communism and fascism\". If Kyoto is a \"first step\", it is in the wrong direction.\n8. Climate change is a non-linear (chaotic) process, some parts of which are only dimly or not at all understood. No deterministic computer model will ever be able to make an accurate prediction of climate 100 years into the future.\n9. Not surprisingly, therefore, experts in computer modelling agree also that no current (or likely near-future) climate model will be able to make accurate predictions of regional climate change. Australian State Premiers please take note.\n10. The biggest untruth about human global warming is the assertion that nearly all scientists agree that it is occurring, and at a dangerous rate.\nThe reality is that almost every aspect of climate science is the subject of vigorous debate. And thousands of qualified scientists worldwide have signed declarations which (i) query the evidence for human-caused warming and (ii) support a rational scientific (not emotional) approach to its study.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "At 5 a.m. Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for:\n- Wawa – Pukaskwa Park\n- White River – Dubreuilville\n- Marathon – Schreiber\n- Manitouwadge – Hornepayne\nThere is a potential for heavy snowfall on Tuesday for areas northeast of Lake Superior.

The first hurricane that caused people to fly in it, occurred in 1943 during World War II.\n5. Hurricane Hunters fly planes into hurricanes to gather weather data.\n6. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale defines hurricane strength by categories. A Category 1 storm is the weakest hurricane with winds having speed between 74 and 95 miles per hour; while a Category 5 hurricane is the strongest with winds greater than 155 miles per hour.\n7. Hurricanes that move slowly are likely to produce more rains causing more damage by flooding, than fast moving hurricanes.\n8. The eye of the hurricane is a section at the center of the hurricane which has the calmest weather with clear skies and low winds.\n9. The eye is surrounded by an eyewall which is the deadliest part of the hurricane. It is a towering ring of thunderstroms, high wind speed and severe weather.\n10. Planet Jupiter has a hurricane which appears as a red dot on it and it has been spinning for 300 years. This hurricane is bigger than Earth itself.\n11. Hurricanes need the Coriolis Force to form – which is very weak at the Equator. This is why hurricanes can not form near Equator.\n12.

This research suggests, the more air in a volleyball, the farther it will go..\nAir pressure is the push that air has against objects that it touches. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen all make up air. These gases have little molecules that are always moving. The molecules press against the surface of objects, creating pressure.

Putting more air in a volleyball squeezes the air inside, raising the pressure. Volleyballs not used can lose air. The amount of air pressure changes when air escapes a volleyball. Volleyballs keep their round shape from the air pressure. Volleyballs are kept inflated by the air molecules moving around inside.

Members noted that CASA is an ideal forum to both gather interested parties to explore this issue and share the findings with Albertans to improve air quality management and stewardship.\nThe discussions of the ad hoc group resulted in a statement of opportunity related to messaging on vehicle emissions and air quality. Subsequently, a working group scoped terms of reference for this project idea and a project team was later established in 2021 to execute set tasks. The project team’s terms of reference and final documents can be found at the bottom of this page.\nThe goal of this project was to collaboratively develop messaging that links changes in air quality associated with measures undertaken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The messaging would aim to generate provincial awareness of the impacts that reductions in motor vehicle transportation can have on air quality, and how individuals, governments, businesses, and other Albertans can act to improve air quality.\nThe project objectives were as follows:\n- Summarize existing information on Alberta’s ambient air quality and traffic counts before and during the implementation of measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19.\n- Link observed air quality changes associated with measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 to outcomes that are relatable to Albertans.\n- Write a project final report including performance measures and recommendations.\n- Develop a plan for communicating the work of the project team on transportation reductions due to COVID-19 and the impacts on air quality.\nTerms of Reference\nFor more information about this work, contact Project Manager Alec Carrigy at firstname.lastname@example.org.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "The participation of different vegetation types within the physical climate system is investigated using a coupled atmosphere-biosphere model, CCM3-IBIS. We analyze the effects that six different vegetation biomes (tropical, boreal, and temperate forests, savanna, grassland and steppe, and shrubland/tundra) have on the climate through their role in modulating the biophysical exchanges of energy, water, and momentum between the land-surface and the atmosphere. Using CCM3-IBIS we completely remove the vegetation cover of a particular biome and compare it to a control simulation where the biome is present, thereby isolating the climatic effects of each biome. Results from the tropical and boreal forest removal simulations are in agreement with previous studies while the other simulations provide new evidence as to their contribution in forcing the climate. Removal of the temperate forest vegetation exhibits behavior characteristic of both the tropical and boreal simulations with cooling during winter and spring due to an increase in the surface albedo and warming during the summer caused by a reduction in latent cooling. Removal of the savanna vegetation exhibits behavior much like the tropical forest simulation while removal of the grassland and steppe vegetation has the largest effect over the central United States with warming and drying of the atmosphere in summer. The largest climatic effect of shrubland and tundra vegetation removal occurs in DJF in Australia and central Siberia and is due to reduced latent cooling and enhanced cold air advection, respectively. Our results show that removal of the boreal forest yields the largest temperature signal globally when either including or excluding the areas of forest removal. Globally, precipitation is most affected by removal of the savanna vegetation when including the areas of vegetation removal, while removal of the tropical forest most influences the global precipitation excluding the areas of vegetation removal.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Severe Weather Awareness Week March 24-28, 2014\nSaturday, March 22nd, 2014\nThe week of March 24-28, 2014 has been designated as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Nebraska and Iowa. This week is utilized by the public, government and businesses to raise awareness, prepare, test, and practice procedures for what we would do during a severe weather event. As long as no severe weather is expected or occurring, the statewide tornado drill will be conducted by the National Weather Service on the following date:\nWednesday, March 26th\nBetween 10 & 11 a.m. CDT\nHere is the timeline:\n1000 AM CDT….Drill begins. The Storm Prediction Center issues a Test Tornado Watch for all of Iowa and Nebraska valid until 11:00 am CDT.\n1010 AM CDT…Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Omaha and Sioux Falls issues a TEST Tornado Warning for their Iowa and Nebraska counties.\n1100 AM CDT…Drill sequence ends.\nThis tornado drill presents an excellent opportunity for everyone at work, school, or home to practice their safety measure, and we hope all will participate.\nSevere Weather Awareness Week provides the National Weather Service with the opportunity to test communications systems that get life saving safety information out to the public.\nAcross the country, the number of tornadoes reported in 2013 totaled 942. This number was down considerably compared to the last eight years which averaged 1478 tornadoes and was the lowest number of tornadoes in the 61-year annual Storm Prediction Center dataset. For Nebraska, the 2013 tornado season was below the 30-year average of 54 with 49 tornadoes. For Iowa, the 2013 tornado season was significantly below the 1980-2013 average of 46 with 26 tornadoes. The severe weather season began March 19th with a brief landspout tornado that touched down near Shelton, NE. In April, April 8th and April 9th were active wind and hail days. The severe weather took a break and a rare and historic early May snow was reported across parts of central and eastern Nebraska on the 1st and 2nd. The severe weather season really took off May 17th-19th and also the week of May 24th-30th. Typically, June is the peak month for tornadoes, however this year the peak of 23 tornadoes in Nebraska and 8 tornadoes in Iowa occurred in May, with only 9 for Nebraska and 7 for Iowa in June. A second peak of tornadoes occurred in October with 9 in Nebraska and 11 in Iowa. Notably, the only EF4 for the year oc-curred on October 4th in Wayne.\nAs we move into spring 2014, it’s been cold and on the dry side. Spring snows, rains, and severe weather will come as the temperatures warm and seasons transi-tion. Now is the time to prepare for the inevitable severe weather, as each year brings it’s own unique challenges. The National Weather Service has declared March 24th – 28th as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Nebraska and Iowa. This week, and really the whole month, gives us the opportunity to review our severe weather plan, brush up on severe weather terms and actually participate in the statewide Tornado Warning drill on Wednesday, March 26th. Now is the time to take this opportunity to prepare, even for just a few minutes. It could cost us all in the end.\nAll the National Weather Services offices serving Nebraska encourage you to be an active participant in this year’s Severe Weather Awareness Week. Last year Wayne was hit by an EF4 tornado. Do you think the residents of that community won’t be ready for the next tornado? You can bet they will be ready.

Next up is a strong storm system\nmoving up from the Deep South. That is expected to move\nnortheast through the Mid Atlantic on Monday. That storm will\nstall over Ontario and remain there to our north through\n.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...\nSurface high pressure will build overhead overnight through\nFriday, bringing dry conditions for most areas. Temperatures\nwill be cooler than previous days, but still above normal for\nthis time of year.\nA weak upper-level disturbance will pass through the region late\ntonight through midday Friday, and this will back the low-level\nflow a bit to be south of west. Despite limited moisture there\nshould be enough overrunning for a bkn/ovc stratus deck along\nwith a possible sprinkle.\n.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...\nAnother cold front moves east across the region Friday night.\nThe only precipitation possible appears to be in Garrett Co MD\nand adjacent highlands, and that threat is from light showers or\ndrizzle late Fri night into Sat morning. At this point, kept\nthat liquid. But temps get close to freezing late Fri night\nthere. So the threat of some freezing drizzle will need to be\nmonitored. The moisture is mainly in the low levels, so any\nrainfall amount would be very small.\nOtherwise, fair weather again Saturday into Sat night with\ntemps slightly cooler again, but near or a little above normal.\n.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...\nSurface high pressure will make its way from the Ohio Valley through\nthe Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday, leading to clear skies and dry\nconditions to finish out the day. Digging trough just west of the\nGreat Lakes will move in along with a cutoff low by late Sunday\nnight. Most models have precip reaching central VA by 9z Monday\nmorning. Agreement on the center of the low pressure by 6z Sunday\nnight is starting to come to terms with around the Tennessee Valley.\nAfter that is where confidence becomes low again with respect to\npositioning of the cutoff. Nonetheless, a surge of moisture will be\ncoming up from the south Monday. This will lead to a mostly wet day\nwith some brief heavy rain potential given the environmental\nsetup. GEFS members averaging around 1.15\" PWATs for the day on\nMonday. There is a chance a line of convective showers or\nthunderstorms could form Monday. Main concern for this would be\nbrief damaging wind gusts with the storms given the chance for\nstrengthening low and mid-level wind fields. The wind potential\nis likely there if there can be enough instability to form\nstorms, which is questionable right now. Many model ensemble\nmembers have instability, many do not.\nThe heaviest batch of moisture should exit the area by late Monday\nnight. The upper level low appears to close off or come pretty close\nto doing so. This, along with the positioning of the shortwave and\nlocation relative to our CWA will dictate further impacts on the\nbackside of this system. Most models are in agreement with the\nchance for upslope snow along and west of the Allegheny Front from\nMonday night through early in the day on Wednesday. The interactions\nbetween the cutoff low, the digging trough and the shortwave will\nheavily dictate the impacts we may see. This will be an evolving\nforecast over the next few days with regards to timing, impacts and\nlocations of the system.\nTemperatures for the extended will start off in the low to mid 50s\nacross most areas Sunday before warming up a bit (given the warm\nmoist air associated with the cutoff) to near 60F. Most models are\nin agreement of a blast of cold air intruding behind the system\nMonday night into Tuesday.

The 45 kg Australian microsatellite transmitted for 5 days. It reentered after 42 days.\nThe battery powered Wresat carried four experiments, which were derived from experiments flown on earlier australian sounding rockets:\nAs such, these sensors were predominantly for upper atmospheric research. There were sensors to measure solar radiation, specifically three wavelengths which had the greatest impact on the temperature and composition of the upper atmosphere. The same sensors could also measure the temperature of the solar atmosphere and the density of molecular oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, there was a small telescope with a lithium fluoride lens which could measure the faint ultraviolet halo (GeoCoronal) that surrounds the Earth at night.\nFor simplicity, the satellite was integrated directly into the SPARTA third stage. WRESAT was a little over two meters long and weighed approximately 72.5 kg, including the burned out rocket motor.\nThe satellite was launched on 29 November 1967 on a Redstone Sparta from Woomera into an excentric elliptical polar orbit of 198 km × 1252 km with an inclination of 83.3°.

Today we learned that increasing CO2 makes ice crack faster.\n... CO2 molecules may be having a more direct impact on the ice that covers our planet. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute for Technology have shown that the material strength and fracture toughness of ice are decreased significantly under increasing concentrations of CO2 molecules, making ice caps and glaciers more vulnerable to cracking and splitting into pieces,...\nIce caps and glaciers cover seven per cent of Earth -- more than Europe and North America combined -- and are responsible for reflecting 80-90 per cent of the Sun's light rays that enter our atmosphere and maintain Earth's temperature. They are also a natural carbon sink, capturing a large amount of CO2.\n\"If ice caps and glaciers were to continue to crack and break into pieces, their surface area that is exposed to air would be significantly increased, which could lead to accelerated melting and much reduced coverage area on the Earth.\n... CO2molecules first adhere to the crack boundary of ice by forming a bond with the hydrogen atoms and then migrate through the ice in a flipping motion along the crack boundary towards the crack tip.\nThe CO2 molecules accumulate at the crack tip and constantly attack the water molecules by trying to bond to them. This leaves broken bonds behind and increases the brittleness of the ice on a macroscopic scale. [emphasis mine]\nAnother positive feedback we'd missed: we overestimated the potential of soil to store carbon.\nIt seems that any extra CO2 absorbed by plants due to higher CO2 levels isn't stored as wood. Instead it ends up being consumed by soil microbes who send the resulting CO2 right back into the air.\nResearch published in Science today found that increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause soil microbes to produce more carbon dioxide, accelerating climate change.\nTwo Northern Arizona University researchers led the study, which challenges previous understanding about how carbon accumulates in soil. Increased levels of CO2 accelerate plant growth, which causes more absorption of CO2 through photosynthesis.\nUntil now, the accepted belief was that carbon is then stored in wood and soil for a long time, slowing climate change. Yet this new research suggests that the extra carbon provides fuel to microorganisms in the soil whose byproducts (such as CO2) are released into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.\n\"Our findings mean that nature is not as efficient in slowing global warming as we previously thought,\" said Kees Jan van Groenigen, research fellow at the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society at NAU and lead author of the study. \"By overlooking this effect of increased CO2 on soil microbes, models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may have overestimated the potential of soil to store carbon and mitigate the greenhouse effect.\"\nRising global temperatures could increase the amount of carbon dioxide naturally released by the world's oceans, fuelling further climate change, a study suggests. Fresh insight into how the oceans can affect CO2 levels in the atmosphere shows that rising temperatures can indirectly increase the amount of the greenhouse gas emitted by the oceans.\n... a lack of iron at the ocean surface can limit the effect of other key elements in helping plankton take up carbon. This effect is magnified in the southern ocean and equatorial Pacific and coastal areas, which are known to play a crucial role in influencing levels of CO2 in the global atmosphere.\n... we were surprised by the many ways in which iron affects the CO2 given off by the oceans. If warming climates lower iron levels at the sea surface, as occurred in the past, this is bad news for the environment.\" [emphasis mine]\nWarming climate can lower iron in ocean surface water, which limits the effect of other key nutrients too, impairing phytoplankton uptake of CO2.\nMore of the greenhouse gas Nitrous oxide comes from land and ocean warming, another positive feedback to accelerate Climate Destabilization. It rose from 200 ppb to 260 ppb when the last ice age melted. As land warms, microbes produce more N2O. Low oxygen water, which we create by heating and polluting the oceans, also pumps out more N2O. We're already at 327 ppb.\n... a new study confirms that atmospheric levels of N2O rose significantly as the Earth came out of the last ice age ...\nThe analysis documented a 30 percent increase in atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations from 16,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago. This rise in N2O was caused by changes in environmental conditions in the ocean and on land, scientists say, and contributed to the warming at the end of the ice age and the melting of large ice sheets that then existed. The findings add an important new element to studies of how Earth may respond to a warming climate in the future.\nAtmospheric N2O was roughly 200 parts per billion at the peak of the ice age about 20,000 years ago then rose to 260 ppb by 10,000 years ago. As of 2014, atmospheric N2O was measured at about 327 ppb, an increase attributed primarily to agricultural influences.\n... marine and terrestrial sources contributed about equally to the overall increase of nitrous oxide concentrations ...\nMarine nitrous oxide production is linked closely to low oxygen conditions in the upper ocean and global warming is predicted to intensify the low-oxygen zones in many of the world's ocean basins. N2O also destroys ozone in the stratosphere. \"Warming makes terrestrial microbes produce more nitrous oxide,\"... [emphasis mine]\nimage source www.niwa.co.nz\nScientists discovered a land-based positive feedback affecting albedo. As evergreens grow further north in the boreal forests, they displace needle dropping larches, making the surface darker in Winter.\n\"We've identified that the boreal forest, particularly in Siberia, is converting from predominantly needle-shedding larch trees to evergreen conifers in response to warming climate,\"…\n\"This will promote additional warming and vegetation change, particularly in areas with low species diversity.\" The \"positive feedback\" cycle of warming promoting warming showed an increase of absorbed surface warming.\n\"Such changes in that vast region have the potential to affect areas outside of the region,\" Shuman noted. The Russian boreal forest sits over a tremendous repository of carbon-rich soil frozen in the permafrost. As the forest changes in species distribution from larch to evergreens, warming of the ground surface would cause decomposition of the soil, releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – possibly as much as 15 percent of the carbon dioxide currently in the atmosphere.\n\"This is not the scenario one would want to see,\" Shugart said. \"It potentially would increase warming on a global scale.\" [emphasis mine]\nLichen, moss and cyanobacteria absorb CO2 and nitrogen, but emit the super powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (laughing gas).\nLichens, mosses and cyanobacteria release large quantities of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as laughing gas, and low quantities of methane (CH4) into the atmosphere.\nThe greenhouse effect of laughing gas is 300 times stronger than for carbon dioxide, and even methane is 30 times stronger. As the amount of nitrous oxide emitted increases at higher temperatures, the discovery is significant against the backdrop of global warming.\n... cryptogamic covers, the scientific name for the surface growth of lichens, mosses, cyanobacteria and other micro organisms, are responsible for four to nine percent of N2O from natural sources.\n“The methane emissions of cryptogamic covers were negligible on a global scale. However, the high release rates of nitrous oxide were remarkable,”...\n... N2O and CH4 emissions strongly increase from temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius,”...\n... cryptogamic covers absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the atmosphere. [emphasis mine]\nHurricane Alex in the Atlantic seemed to be an outgrowth of El Nino. It moved toward Greenland and merged with a storm there to bring unusually warm conditions to Western Greenland. There's evidence this caused melt from the Jacobshavn Glacier on January 16. Greenland's glaciers usually gain mass in Winter, so this unprecedented melt could signal a new feedback from ocean warming that we hadn't anticipated.\nThe Alex-triggered Greenland melt event released an iceberg four months earlier than usual.\nGreenland ice melt increases cloud cover, which causes more melt.\nProfessor Tristan L’Ecuyer says that his study found surface temperatures were up to three degrees higher as a result of increased cloud cover over the Greenland Ice Sheet. It does seem like the melt itself may be causing a feedback loop of its own: moisture in the air is a key component for cloud formation, which in turn traps heat in, which causes more melting, which puts more moisture in the air and allows more clouds to form.

The storm battered Taiwan with sustained winds of 113 knots (210 kilometers per hour), leaving more than 545,000 households without power. It then moved ashore in southeastern China after losing some of its strength. Nepartak brought torrential rain and flash flooding in the region, where 18 workers in Gutian county were trapped in an iron factory before emergency workers rescued them.\nAs it does with many major storms, NASA monitored Nepartak from above, providing immediate data for forecasters and long-term insights for scientists who study and model tropical cyclones. Beyond natural-color imagery, satellites offer several different ways to analyze the movement of heat, wind, and water.\nYou can think of the hurricane like an oversized vacuum cleaner, sucking water and heat from the surface of the ocean, said Michael Garay, a researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The warm, moist air is pulled up into the atmosphere, condensing into liquid as it cools in the atmosphere. Even higher up, that moisture freezes into ice.\nOr picture the storm as an inverted tea kettle. Instead of using energy to boil water and release steam as a kettle does, the storm releases energy as it rapidly cools down warm, moist air. In the process, it generates hurricane-force winds.\nThat’s where the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) comes in. The instrument uses nine cameras to create a snapshot of the storm over the course of seven minutes. The cameras capture information in stereo—by calculating the space between objects and using simple geometry, scientists can create a stereoscopic image. The imager functions a bit like human eyes, using information gathered from two slightly different vantage points to determine an object’s depth.\nThe images at the top of this page reveal how MISR can peer into the heart of a storm. The top left image depicts cloud heights; the middle image is a stereoscopic, natural-color view; and the top right image reveals wind speeds and directions in the atmosphere. The well-defined eye (the cloudless area at the center of the vortex) indicates that Nepartak was “pretty well-organized,” Garay said.\nThe RapidScat instrument complements MISR by giving a picture of conditions close to the ocean surface. The image above shows wind conditions as Nepartak approached Taiwan on July 8. Arrows show the direction of near-surface winds, with shades of blue indicating the range of wind speeds.\nRapidScat sends out microwave pulses that reflect off the ocean surface. Stronger winds make the water choppier, and larger waves return a stronger signal to RapidScat. From that information about the waves, scientists can derive wind speed and direction. This offers a complementary view to the one that MISR retrieves from higher in the atmosphere.\nThe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite provides a thermal view (below) of the storm. Temperatures taken at very high altitudes at the center or eye of a hurricane can help researchers understand how hurricanes change intensity.

At present, there is a debate on whether or not there is in fact a global warming or just merely a climate change. The Republicans are vocal about this. Donald Trump has denied the position that there is indeed a global warming but only climate change.\nGlobal Warming is the increase of the temperature in the atmosphere due to the carbon dioxide emission. This creates a greenhouse effect in our atmosphere. For many years, many experts have warned the effects of carbon emission. In fact, there has been many attempt to reduce the emission. Kyoto Protocol was one of the agreements that catalyzed the nations to help reduce the effects of global warming.\nClimate change causes the sea level rise, global temperature rise, warming of the oceans, shrinking ice sheets, declining arctic sea ice, glacial retreat, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, decreased snow cover. Because of these, the food chain is affected. The population of the species are decreasing because either their habitat has changed or loses it. Stronger typhoons and flash floods are most likely to occur that leads to many deaths and destruction of infrastructures.\nThe denial of Donald Trump of the effects of the climate change plays a big role in the reduction of the effects of the global warming. Donald Trump is a president of the most influential nation – the United States of America. This sends a message that the fact of the global warming is not true because of the influence of USA. The denial may create a notion that the global warming is just an idea.\nThe denial of Donald Trump on the global warming may be due to two reasons: 1. Donald Trump has a business mind, and 2. To stir up discussion.\nIt has been known to everybody that Trump is a business tycoon. In fact he is one of the highly celebrated business men. He has appeared to television shows and movies due to this. His fame in the business also contributed to his winning as a president of the US. There are many businesses that are non-compliant to the carbon emission reduction because of its high cost. The airline industry, for example, are one of the most contributors to the carbon emission in the atmosphere. Without sanction from the government, the airline industry shall continue to add to the effects of the global warming. The denial of the head of state, Trump, to the global warming is giving the commercial industry the confidence to continue their carbon emission. Hence, the continuing effects of the global warming that leads to the climate change.\nOn the other hand, however, if we are to analyze the actions of Donald Trump, there is consistency to it. The denial of Donald Trump on the effects of the global warming is stirring up discussion.\nDonald Trump won the elections because of his atrocious actions. He would swear, discriminate and even act rudely to the people around him. This has created a discussion – media. The noise that Trump created throughout the world has made him the topic of every medium, especially to the social media.\nBecause of this, more people are talking about the global warming. It raises a question: is global warming really true? Experts now are more committed to prove the existence of the global warming and it affects. People are becoming more aware on the facts. This discussion may eventually lead to action towards the reduction on the effects of the global warming.\nAt the end of the day, we can never tell the purpose of Donald Trump on the denial on the global warming. But as stewards of the earth, each must learn to be aware of the changes that the environment is experiencing.\nMore useful samples & examples in", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Cloudy Saturday in Delhi\nPosted on Mar 01 2014 | IANS\nNew Delhi, March 1 : It was a chilly Saturday morning in the national capital with the minimum temperature recorded at 12 degree Celsius, average for the season.

Could the climate on the Red Planet have supported water and possibly life in the past? These are the questions NASA hopes to answer in great detail with the newest orbiter mission to Mars. Called the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft, the $485 million mission is scheduled for launch in late 2013. MAVEN is part of the Mars Scout Program, which is designed to send a series of small, low-cost, principal investigator-led missions to the Red Planet. The Phoenix Mars Lander was the first spacecraft selected in this program. “This mission will provide the first direct measurements ever taken to address key scientific questions about Mars’ evolution,” said Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington.\nEvidence from orbit and the planet’s surface points to a once denser atmosphere on Mars that supported the presence of liquid water on the surface. As part of a dramatic climate change, most of the Martian atmosphere was lost. MAVEN will make definitive scientific measurements of present-day atmospheric loss that will offer clues about the planet’s history.\n“The loss of Mars’ atmosphere has been an ongoing mystery,” McCuistion said. “MAVEN will help us solve it.”\nThe science team will be led from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and its Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. The principal investigator for the mission is Bruce Jakosky from UC Boulder. “We are absolutely thrilled about this announcement,” said Jakosky. “We have an outstanding mission that will obtain fundamental science results for Mars. We have a great team and we are ready to go.”\nLockheed Martin of Littleton, Colo., will build the spacecraft based on designs from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and 2001 Mars Odyssey missions.\nMAVEN was evaluated to have the best science value and lowest implementation risk from 20 mission investigation proposals submitted in response to a NASA Announcement of Opportunity in August 2006.\nAfter arriving at Mars in the fall of 2014, MAVEN will use its propulsion system to enter an elliptical orbit ranging 90 to 3,870 miles above the planet. The spacecraft’s eight science instruments will take measurements during a full Earth year, which is roughly equivalent to half of a Martian year.\nMAVEN’s instrument suites include a remote sensing package that will determine global characteristics of the upper atmosphere, and the spacecraft will dip to an altitude of 80 miles above the planet. A particles and fields payload contains six instruments that will characterize the solar wind, upper atmosphere and the ionosphere – a layer of charged particles very high in the Martian atmosphere.\nThe third instrument suite, a Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer will measure the composition and isotopes of neutral and charged forms of gases in the Martian atmosphere\nDuring and after its primary science mission, the spacecraft may be used to provide communications relay support for robotic missions on the Martian surface.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "The GOES satellites provide National Weather Service forecasters with continuous, reliable and high-quality observations of Earth’s atmosphere.

The term refers to small particles suspended in the air, including dust and black carbon originating from such sources as fossil fuel and biomass burning. Air pollution contributes to the global burden of heart disease, lung cancer, as well as respiratory diseases such as asthma and pneumonia, according to the World Health Organization.\nMany people in Africa, where the process of rural electrification has been slow, still burn wood to cook or heat their homes. Other sources of pollutants may be natural, including large amounts of dust from the Sahara Desert.\nEvery 10-microgram-per-cubic-meter increase in the concentration of breathable particulate matter is associated with an increase of about 9 percent in infant mortality, an effect consistent over the 15-year study period, the study’s authors say. They also estimate that a decrease in air pollution of 5 micrograms per cubic meter across Africa might have averted around 40,000 infant deaths in 2015.\n“The principal sources of particulate matter differ across sub-Saharan Africa. As such, policies and approaches to reducing pollution may be most appropriately undertaken at the local and regional scale,” Sam Heft-Neal, one of the study’s authors, told The Associated Press. “In booming urban areas, many of the relevant technologies and policies are the same ones that have been applied in more developed economies: moving away from coal to cleaner feedstocks for electric power production, putting particulate filters on buses and trucks, and reducing traffic congestion.”\nAddressing biomass burning both in the farming fields and for cooking may require more comprehensive policies to rapidly move households up the energy ladder, he said, citing solar energy as “an excellent way to remove kerosene emissions” from homes.\nThe study also found that wealthier households were not immune from the negative effects of air pollution.\nAlthough many African governments recognize the threat to lives from air pollutants, efforts to stem pollution have often lagged behind the more practical concerns of growing economies and attracting investors to develop local industry.\nSome countries are starting to act. In the East African nation of Uganda, where cars emitting black exhaust fumes are a common sight on the roads, a draft law proposes to ban imports of vehicles older than eight years. The bill, already approved by Uganda’s cabinet, aims to curb imports of used Japanese cars that are seen as a major source of pollution in the urban areas.\nAccording to the World Health Organization, 97 percent of cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in developing countries don’t meet WHO air quality guidelines. That number decreases to 49 percent in high-income countries.\nA 2015 study published in Nature found that air pollution, mostly by breathable particulate matter, leads to 3.3 million premature deaths a year worldwide, predominantly in Asia. That study projected that by 2050 the death total would double, to about 6.6 million a year, if trends didn’t change.\n“The realities of our society are so difficult,” said Denis Akankunda Bwesigye, a fellow at Uganda’s Makerere University School of Public Health, citing the widespread use in rural areas of burning wood in the process of cooking.\nAir pollution, he said, contributes significantly to the cases of pneumonia, which kills more than 24,000 Ugandan children under the age of 5 each year, according to government figures.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "It’s a very foggy start to Monday morning.

Five of the 122 tornadoes were rated EF3 (four) or EF4 (one).\nThe severe weather was most damaging across parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee, said Aon, noting that, beyond the impact of tornadoes, there were hundreds of reports of large hail and damaging straight-line winds that resulted in extensive property damage.\nThe storms also prompted significant flooding in parts of the Tennessee Valley, said the report, with at least seven reported fatalities in Tennessee alone, including some in the greater Nashville metro region, after numerous river locations swelled beyond their banks.\nLooking at other storm events during March, Aon discussed the damaging winds, thunderstorms, and flooding rains, which swept across eastern Canada and the Canadian Maritimes between March 26-29. The impacts of these storms included flash flooding in the Greater Toronto Area, shoreline flooding along the Great Lakes, ice jams and widespread wind damage. Economic and insured losses were expected to be in the tens of millions of U.S. dollars.\nMeanwhile, Windstorms Klaus and Luis, which affected parts of Western and Central Europe on March 10-13 with strong winds. Both storms caused moderate losses, with notable impacts in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France and the United Kingdom. Local insurers faced with tens of thousands of claims.\nMichal Lörinc, senior catastrophe analyst for Aon’s Impact Forecasting team, said: “As we transition to the Northern Hemisphere spring months, this is typically a period where focus shifts to the severe convective storm season. However, March is still a time where notable windstorms can affect Europe, and 2021 saw a quick succession of storms Klaus and Luis that left moderate physical damage impacts. While the 2020/21 European windstorm season was not abnormally costly, it remains a peril worth closely monitoring.”\nOther worldwide natural hazard events during March include:\n- A series of frontal systems and an East Coast Low led to extensive flooding across parts of eastern Australia from March 10-24, killing at least two people. The event resulted in widespread inundation to thousands of properties and swaths of infrastructure and agriculture in New South Wales and Queensland. The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) declared an insurance catastrophe. Approximately 36,000 claims were filed, with an estimated insured loss of A$537 million ($410 million). The overall economic loss is expected to approach $2 billion.\n- Persistent seasonal rains and severe weather continued to affect portions of western Colombia throughout the month. At least 53 weather-related fatalities have occurred since Jan. 1. A public calamity was declared in the Valle del Cauca Department due to damage to roadways, homes and crops.\n- Heavy rain affected northwestern Algeria (particularly Chlef Province) on March 6, causing flash floods that resulted in casualties and damage. More than 500 families have been affected. Local media reported that 10 people were left dead or missing.\n- Severe sand and dust storm conditions affected wide swaths of Mongolia and China from March 12-16. At least 21 people were left dead or missing, millions of livestock were killed and hundreds of yurts were destroyed in Mongolia.\nSource: Impact Forecasting/Aon\nPhotograph: Fallen trees cover the ground by weather-damaged properties in Clanton, Ala., the morning following a large outbreak of severe storms across the southeast, on Thursday, March 18, 2021.

Answer, Fog is moisture in the air condensing due to cooler ambient temperature at ground level. As the ambient temperature increases, generally due to the sun, the moisture in the fog will burn off and the fog will lift. You can't see vapor, but you can see droplets of water, droplets small enough to float in air (brownian motion). Whenever the droplets evaporate (heat, low humidity, etc) the water doesn't go anywhere but now you can see through it, thus \"no fog\".\nAs the air becomes warmer, the fog will usually dissipate.The cooks used the exhaust fan to dissipate the smoke from the kitchen fire.\"As the sun climbed higher in the morning sky, the fog dissipated and left its traces on shaded leaves.\"\nWhen the Sun's heat warms the ground and air.\nIt doesn't always... it depends on whether there's enough heat from the sun reaching the ground.

The clouds will continue to decrease this evening and later tonight will become mainly clear with lighter winds. Lows will be in the lower 30s with some spots dropping into the 20s. Thursday will start chilly then the rest of the day will be sunny to partly cloudy with a milder afternoon with highs in the lower 60s.

While they may look like spy balloons, there are many important differences. One of them being that they are a lot smaller, and they are certainly not remote controlled.\nEach balloon is made of rubber and inflated with helium before launch. It gets inflated to about six feet wide, and then a device called a radiosonde is attached to the balloon. The radiosonde measures temperature, humidity, and pressure as it rises through the atmosphere while hanging off the bottom of the balloon. The balloon can expand to nearly 20 feet as it rises and the air pressure around it drops. As it moves with the wind, it changes location and tells the NWS about how the wind changes speed and direction above our heads.\nAccording to the NWS, balloons can stay in the air for around two hours and drift over 100 miles away, while some balloons can rise over 20 miles before popping! Once they do pop, a parachute will allow for the equipment to float back to the ground. If you happen to come across one, it even comes with its own shipping label so you can send it back to the NWS.\nData collected with the radiosonde is used to help us analyze what the atmosphere is doing and it helps models get a more accurate picture of the atmosphere at any given place from top to bottom.

However, all tornadoes were weak and caused minor damage. Large hail in Alabama is not uncommon but hail up to the size of softballs was reported across central Alabama on April 25th. Supercell thunderstorms produced several long paths of hail damage. Numerous homes and automobiles suffered significant damage across several central Alabama counties on this April day.\nThe central part of the state was well above rainfall normals for 2003. The first 8 months of rainfall for Birmingham totaled 55.77 inches which was an all time record as the wettest January through August. Birmingham received a record 17.23 inches of rain in the month of May, making it the third wettest month since records began in 1895. Not only did severe weather occur on May 7th, but Birmingham International Airport observed 5.71 inches of rainfall, which became a record for this day and also the fourth wettest day ever. Numerous rivers and creeks rose out of their banks and caused historic flooding in the Birmingham metro area as well as several other locations in central Alabama. Supercell thunderstorms produced isolated rainfall amounts of 12 inches or more in a short period of time. Damage was estimated at 1 billion dollars across central Alabama.\nA cooler than normal summer resulted in no temperatures above 95 degrees in Birmingham and Anniston.

Depending on the storm track, we could see all snow, all rain or a wintry mix. This is because of the unique geography that exists in the Mid-Atlantic Region.\nThe truth is all precipitation falls from the clouds as ice crystals where temperatures are cold enough to support ice. In a \"normal\" atmosphere the temperature gets colder as you increase altitude. So in this case, the column of air that extends from the cloud to the ground remains below freezing the entire distance than the ice crystals will fall as snow. Even when surface temperatures are above freezing snow will still fall under the above circumstances. Snow is the easiest to deal with since it can be both plowed and shoveled.\nIf a portion of the column of air between the cloud and the ground is above freezing, than that presents a new host of problems. If there is a narrow column of air above freezing just above the ground, where temperatures are below freezing, than the ice crystals - or snowflakes - melt into raindrops but then freeze again when they come into contact with the ground creating freezing rain.\nIf the column of air with above freezing temperatures is higher above the ground than the flakes melt into water droplets and then refreeze into sleet before hitting the ground. Sleet can accumulate like snow, but tends to be heavier than snow because the water content is higher which suppresses accumulations. So, freezing rain falls as a liquid and freezes on contact with the ground, trees, power lines etc and sleet falls as a little ball of ice that bounces off your windshield.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Eastern Europe was struggling on Thursday to deal with the consequences of extreme heat and drought, with forest fires causing evacuations in France and Italian farmers losing up to 80% of their harvest due to severe drought.\nFirefighting planes from Greece and Sweden will arrive in France on Thursday, while other EU governments, including Germany, Poland, Austria and Romania, are also mobilizing resources to help France fight its raging forest fires, the report announced.

A recent study conducted by three Americans found that the country’s emissions are much higher than previously thought.\nThe study, which was published in the journal Science, used satellite data to track carbon dioxide emissions from all over the world. It found that the United States emits 2.5 times more carbon dioxide than China, even though China has a population that is four times larger.\nThe study also found that the United States is responsible for about one-fifth of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. This is despite the fact that the United States only makes up about 4 percent of the global population.\nThese findings are alarming, and they underscore the need for the United States to take action to reduce its emissions. The Trump administration has been hostile to climate change mitigation efforts, but the rest of the country must continue to push for action.\nThe good news is that there are many ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Some of these include investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and improving energy efficiency.\nThe United States must also do its part to help developing countries reduce their emissions. This will be crucial if we are to meet the Paris Agreement targets and avoid the worst effects of climate change.\nThe study’s authors say that the findings are a “wake-up call” and that the United States needs to do more to address its carbon dioxide emissions. We couldn’t agree more.\n- 1 What are the 3 major contributors to the rise of carbon emissions?\n- 2 What are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions in the US?\n- 3 What is the USA’s contribution to carbon emission?\n- 4 Who discovered carbon footprint?\n- 5 What are the top 3 sources of greenhouse gas emissions?\n- 6 What are the top 3 sources for methane emissions?\n- 7 What are the 5 main contributors to carbon footprint?\nWhat are the 3 major contributors to the rise of carbon emissions?\nThere are many factors that have contributed to the rise of carbon emissions, but three of the most significant are the increase in the use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and the burning of biomass.\nFossil fuels are fuels that are made from the remains of plants and animals that have been buried underground for millions of years. They include coal, oil, and natural gas, and over the past two hundred years, their use has grown exponentially. The main reason for this is that they are incredibly efficient at producing energy.\nDeforestation is the clearing of trees from an area of land. This can be done for a number of reasons, such as to make way for agriculture or to create new land. When trees are cleared, the carbon they have stored is released into the atmosphere. Deforestation is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and it is estimated that it accounts for around 20% of global emissions.\nThe burning of biomass is the burning of organic matter, such as wood, coal, or gas. This is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and it is estimated that it accounts for around 26% of global emissions. Biomass can be burned for a variety of purposes, such as to produce energy or heat, or to dispose of waste.\nWhat are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions in the US?\nThe United States is one of the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide in the world. In fact, the United States contributes about 15 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions.\nThere are a number of factors that contribute to carbon emissions in the United States. The biggest contributors are:\nThe transportation sector is the biggest contributor to carbon emissions in the United States. Cars and trucks account for the majority of emissions from the transportation sector. The production of cars and trucks, as well as the burning of gasoline and diesel, all produce carbon dioxide.\n2. Electricity Production\nElectricity production is the second biggest contributor to carbon emissions in the United States. The majority of electricity in the United States is produced by burning coal and natural gas. These fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned.\nThe industrial sector is the third biggest contributor to carbon emissions in the United States. Manufacturing and processing activities produce a lot of carbon dioxide.\nWhat is the USA’s contribution to carbon emission?\nThe United States of America is one of the world’s leading contributors to carbon emissions, with a total of 5,144 million metric tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere in 2009, according to the EPA. This figure is a result of the USA’s reliance on fossil fuels for energy production, as well as the high levels of industrialization and urbanization in the country.\nThe main sources of carbon emissions in the USA are the burning of coal and oil for electricity and transportation, respectively. The USA is the world’s largest producer and consumer of oil, and the second-largest producer of coal, after China. These fuels are responsible for the majority of the country’s carbon emissions, as well as its air pollution and climate change.\nIn addition to the emissions from burning fossil fuels, the USA also releases large amounts of CO2 from deforestation and other land-use changes. Deforestation in the USA has decreased in recent years, but remains a significant source of carbon emissions.\nThe USA has made some efforts to reduce its carbon emissions in recent years, most notably through the enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005. However, much more needs to be done to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and address the impacts of climate change.\nWho discovered carbon footprint?\nThe term “carbon footprint” was first coined in the late 1990s by British environmentalist and author, L. J. “Gus” Speth. He used it to describe the environmental impact of human activity on the planet.\nSince then, the term has become more widely used, and is now commonly used to describe the amount of greenhouse gases a person or organization produces.\nA person’s carbon footprint is measured in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce. This is done by calculating the amount of CO2 emitted from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, that are used to generate energy.\nA person’s carbon footprint can also be affected by other activities, such as the manufacture of goods and the use of transportation.\nThe carbon footprint of an organization is measured in the same way as a person’s, but it also includes the CO2 emitted from the burning of fossil fuels used to generate energy for the organization’s operations.\nOrganizations can also have a carbon footprint from the manufacture of their goods and the use of transportation.\nWhat are the top 3 sources of greenhouse gas emissions?\nGreenhouse gas emissions are a leading cause of climate change, and they come from a variety of sources. Here are the top three sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States:\n1. Electricity production\nElectricity production is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The EPA reports that in 2012, power plants accounted for 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The majority of these emissions come from the burning of coal and natural gas to produce electricity.\nTransportation is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Cars and trucks account for 28% of all emissions, and planes and trains account for another 5%. The biggest culprits here are gasoline and diesel fuel, which release carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.\nManufacturing is the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. This sector accounts for 24% of emissions, and the biggest contributors are chemicals, metals, and paper production. Many of these emissions come from the use of fossil fuels in manufacturing processes.\nWhat are the top 3 sources for methane emissions?\nMethane is the primary component of natural gas, and it is also a potent greenhouse gas. Methane emissions come from a variety of sources, and they account for a significant proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this article, we will take a close look at the top three sources of methane emissions.\nThe first source of methane emissions is natural gas systems. Methane emissions from natural gas systems arise from leaks and venting. Leaks can occur during the production, processing, and distribution of natural gas, and venting occurs when gas is released from pipelines, compressor stations, and other facilities.\nThe second source of methane emissions is landfills. Methane emissions from landfills come from the decomposition of trash. In addition to methane, landfills also release carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen oxides.\nThe third source of methane emissions is agriculture. Methane emissions from agriculture come from a variety of sources, including livestock, manure, rice cultivation, and landfills. Livestock are the primary source of methane emissions from agriculture, and manure is the primary source of methane emissions from livestock.\nWhat are the 5 main contributors to carbon footprint?\nWhen it comes to reducing your carbon footprint, it’s important to know where you can make the biggest impact. Here are the five main contributors to carbon emissions:\nThe transportation sector is responsible for about one-quarter of all carbon emissions, making it the largest contributor to our carbon footprints. The biggest culprits are automobiles and airplanes, which account for more than half of transportation emissions.\nProducing and using energy is responsible for about one-fifth of carbon emissions. The biggest contributors are electricity generation, manufacturing, and heating and cooling buildings.\nThe food sector is responsible for about one-seventh of carbon emissions. The main contributors are raising livestock and growing crops.\nWaste accounts for about one-seventh of carbon emissions. The main contributors are landfills and incineration.\nBuildings account for about one-seventh of carbon emissions. The main contributors are heating and cooling buildings and producing construction materials.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "A haze of smoke and urban pollution over Melbourne and Geelong is likely to hang around into the weekend, posing health risks for vulnerable Victorians.\nThe Environment Protection Authority says the poor air quality is a result of a build up of wood heater smoke and other pollution with no wind to blow it away.\nAnd with calm weather forecast on Saturday, the not-so-fresh air will likely stick around over the two cities.\n\"Due to weather conditions, pollution is likely to linger over the weekend,\" the EPA warned on Friday.\n\"If you are sensitive to poor air quality you should limit prolonged or heavy physical activity and where possible you should try to stay indoors.\"\nThe pollution may aggravate heart and lung conditions and cause irritated eyes, coughing and wheezing.\nChildren, pregnant women, people with existing heart and lung conditions and those over 65 are most vulnerable.\nAsthmatics are advised to carry puffers and follow asthma management plans.\nThe build up of \"PM2.5\" particles in the air is partially because more Victorians are firing up their wood heaters during the wintry weather.\nThese fine particles are up to 30 times smaller than the width of a human hair.\nIn November, nine people died and thousands were hospitalised in Victoria because of the world's worst recorded thunderstorm asthma event.\n© AAP 2017", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "India saw its hottest March in 122 years which has significantly reduced the yield of the (Rabi)harvested crop.\nWheat is a temperature-sensitive crop that requires a cool temperature, especially in March when it is at its final stage. Extreme dry and hot weather prior to wheat harvest causes a condition known as terminal-heat stress, which wilts crops. The extreme heat in March and April has increased the shriveled grain percentage from six percent set by the Food Corporation of India to 12-20 percent.\nAlso, the climate crisis due to human activity is affecting many weather systems in every region across the globe, said the landmark Code Red scientific report released in August 2021 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. India will suffer more frequent and intense heatwaves, the report by the United Nations body of climate experts predicted.\nMoreover Western disturbances, specifically the ones in winter, bring moderate to heavy rain in low-lying areas and heavy snow to mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent.They are the cause of most winter and pre-monsoon season rainfall across northwest India. Precipitation during the winter season has great importance in agriculture, particularly for the rabi crops.\nIn the absence of western disturbances, unfavorable weather conditions are experienced by wheat during the grain formation stage during the month of March. But the arrival of western disturbances contributes positively to grain yield by modifying the weather conditions particularly at the grain formation stage. It may contribute negatively when the intensity and duration of western disturbances increases.\nLEARNING FROM HOME/ WITHOUT CLASSES/BASICS\nCLIMATE CHANGE: Climate change refers to any change in climate over time whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity. The term is commonly used interchangeably with global warming and green house effects and refers to increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that traps sun’s heat causes changes in weather pattern on a global scale.\nGreenhouse gases allow sunlight (shortwave radiation) to pass through the atmosphere freely, where it is then partially absorbed by the surface of the Earth. Greenhouse gases are able to trap heat (longwave radiation) in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth’s surface warmer than it would be if they were not present. These gases are the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. Increases in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect which is creating global warming and consequently climate change.\nThe principal forcing greenhouse gases are:\nCarbon dioxide (CO2); Methane (CH4); Nitrous oxide (N2O); Fluorinated gases\nWestern Disturbances(WD) are low-pressure areas, extratropical storm originating ,embedded in the Westerlies, the planetary winds that blow from west to east between 30 and 60° latitude. They originate in the Mediterranean region, travel westward and enter India loaded with moisture, where the Himalayas obstruct them, causing rain and snow over northern India. The moisture in these storms usually originates over the Mediterranean sea and Atlantic Ocean. WDs are important to the development of the Rabi crop in the northern subcontinent\nThey gradually travel across the middle-east from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan to enter the Indian sub-continent. Western Disturbances are low pressure systems, embedded in western winds (westerlies) that flow from west to the east.\nThe disturbance travels from the “western” to the eastern direction. Disturbance means an area of “disturbed” or reduced air pressure. Equilibrium exists in nature due to which the air in a region tries to normalise its pressure. In the term “extra-tropical storm”, storm refers to low pressure. “Extra-tropical” means outside the tropics. As the WD originates outside the tropical region, the word “extra-tropical” has been associated with them.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Hurricane Harvey was upgraded to a Category 4 storm on Friday.\nHarvey, which will be the first major storm to hit the U.S. since 2005, is gathering strength as it head up to the south coasts of Texas and Louisiana from the Gulf of Mexico.\nIt is expected to cause extreme damage and flooding.\nA Category 4 storm, according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, is considered a \"major\" hurricane and has sustained winds between 130 miles per hour and 156 mph.\nThe National Hurricane Center, says a Category 4 hurricane has the potential to cause \"catastrophic damage to occur.\"\n\"Power outages will last weeks to possibly months.

Evaluation of technologies for ambient air monitoring at concentrated animal feeding operations. Proceedings of the Air Quality Meeting of Air and Waste Management Association. CD-ROM. April 19-21, San Francisco, California. Interpretive Summary:\nTechnical Abstract: Air quality surrounding concentrated animal feeding operations is becoming of increasing concern to nearby residents and regional air quality regulators. Animal feeding operations are unlike other sources of air quality constituents because of their variability in emission rate and differences in management among similar units. Studies have been conducted on the ambient ammonia concentrations from a swine feeding operation throughout the complete production cycle of grow-finish pigs. These data collected at various positions surrounding the facility showed a 10-fold variation in concentration. Additional studies on air flow surrounding this facility have shown the variation induced by orientation of the building site relative to the wind direction and speed. These observations have shown the need for improved monitoring technologies for ambient air quality surrounding animal feeding operations. An evaluation was conducted on seven different ammonia measuring systems surrounding a swine production facility and a beef cattle feeding facility. These instruments were evaluated with the number of tests to determine their accuracy, linearity, precision, response time, calibration and zero drift, interference, data completeness, and ease of use. Each of the instruments had their strengths and weaknesses when monitoring ambient air quality surrounding animal feeding operations. One of the major problems in collecting data surrounding animal operations is the location of the instrument so that a representative sample can be collected.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Summer-like temperatures take a timeout ✋\nOn Friday, it reached 95 degrees in Poughkeepsie, a new daily record high for June 2nd.\nLooking ahead, we’ll be hard-pressed to reach 80 until next weekend!

The region includes Kansas, which saw two snowstorms last week. In the South region, which includes drought-plagued Oklahoma and Texas, the area in \"exceptional\" drought fell to 4.2%, down from 9.5% a week earlier.

The results show that only one NFSV exists for each of the predictions for the predetermined model El Niño events. These NFSVs cause the largest prediction error for the corresponding El Niño event in perfect initial condition scenario. It is found that the NFSVs often present large-scale zonal dipolar structures and are insensitive to the intensities of El Niño events, but are dependent on the prediction periods. In particular, the NFSVs associated with the predictions crossing through the growth phase of El Niño tend to exhibit a zonal dipolar pattern with positive anomalies in the equatorial central-western Pacific and negative anomalies in the equatorial eastern Pacific (denoted as “NFSV1”). Meanwhile, those associated with the predictions through the decaying phase of El Niño are inclined to present another zonal dipolar pattern (denoted as “NFSV2”), which is almost opposite to the NFSV1. Similarly, the linear forcing singular vectors (FSVs), which are computed based on the tangent linear model, can also be classified into two types “FSV1” and “FSV2”. We find that both FSV1 and NFSV1 often cause negative prediction errors for Niño-3 SSTA of the El Niño events, while the FSV2 and NFSV2 usually yield positive prediction errors. However, due to the effect of nonlinearities, the NFSVs usually have the western pole of the zonal dipolar pattern much farther west, and covering much broader region. The nonlinearities have a suppression effect on the growth of the prediction errors caused by the FSVs and the particular structure of the NFSVs tends to reduce such suppression effect of nonlinearities, finally making the NFSV-type tendency error yield much large prediction error for Niño-3 SSTA of El Niño events. The NFSVs, compared to the FSVs, are more applicable in describing the most disturbing tendency error of the Zebiak–Cane model since they consider the effect of nonlinearities. The NFSV-type tendency errors may provide information concerning the sensitive areas where the model errors are much more likely to yield large prediction errors for El Niño events. If the simulation skills of the states in the sensitive areas can be improved, the ENSO forecast skill may in turn be greatly increased.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "EPAWA says the same in this mornings forecast.

Some models show extremely cold temperatures so this will be something we have to watch for.\nA lot of the energy from this period will come from an active storm track that will swing a series of troughs from the Pacific Northwest, across the Western U.S. and eventually into Colorado. While snowfall amounts and these storms don’t look terrible impressive right now, we always have to keep an eye on storms like this. They will be powerful and depending on exactly what track they take could mean big differences in what we see.\nI’m not comfortable saying any of these storms being a “major event” as of right now, but would like to point out the potential is there. So we will have to keep an eye on them very closely.\nMorning update from the NWS:\nThe combination of upslope flow at low levels with the upper troughiness over the state and the upper level jet on top of it will generate moderate to heavy precipitation rates Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. It is possible that areas along the Front Range foothills and I-25 Urban Corridor could see snowfall accumulations in excess of 6 inches by Sunday night.\nWe’ve got enough information this morning to post a very preliminary guess at what snow looks like for this first series of storms. Keep in mind, this could change drastically over the next 24-36 hours. We will have a whole host of models coming into better range today so we should get a better idea and be able to refine snowfall totals with that information.\nRemember, it’s early so these are preliminary and WILL change over the next 24-36 hours. This is a good first shot though!\nAs our friend Billy would say, there’s more!\nAnother wave of energy moves through late Tuesday and into Wednesday. This means additional cold air and snow will filter in the area adding on to what we already have on the ground.\nSome of the models show another shot of heavy snow along the front range. So overall we will be watching a lot of things next week.\nWhat do you need to do right now?\nNothing at the moment, just realize that if you have plans on Sunday through Wednesday they may be impacted by cold and inclement weather. Snow to some degree looks likely but we don’t know exact numbers yet. Halloween looks chilly as well (for right now, it’s at the edge of the models range so accuracy is always a question) so plan on that possibility if you’re outdoors as well.\nWe will have to keep a close eye on all these waves towards the end of the weekend and into early next week. Some models show a decent shot at accumulating snow in what I’d call a “moderate” range, but because of the power of the storm systems and how close their tracks will be to an “optimal” track for big snow… they will need to be watched closely over the next 24-48 hours.\nExpect refinements to our snowfall forecast throughout the day on Friday and Saturday based on the information coming in.

We examine the nature of seismic waves that were excited as the hurricane intensified over anomalously warm waters to the south of Mexico and then reached land near Playa Cuixamala (Oct. 23, 23th hour, UTC). This landfall area was surrounded by many seismic stations from the Mexican National Seismological Service (SSN) which has broadband seismic data (STS-2 type velocity sensors).\nWe examined temporal variation of power spectral density (PSD) of seismic data for selected 32 stations using the time-frequency plots. The landfall occurred near the center of 32 stations and depending on the distance from the hurricane, we can categorize the characteristics of time-frequency plots into three types, the northern group, the central group, and the southern group. Stations in the central group recorded the time evolution of hurricane intensity most faithfully and for monitoring purposes, we should focus only on these stations. The southern group showed signals from the hurricane but it also showed strong effects of nearby coastal (trapped) waves which made it problematic for monitoring purposes. The northern group seems too far away in general as seismic signals from the hurricane became much weaker.\nThis hurricane developed from category 1 to category 5 within 24 hours on Oct. 22, 2015, while it was off the coast about 350-400 km; the data in the central group shows a rapid increase of seismic energy around 0.15 Hz (between 0.1 and 0.2 Hz) which matches with intensification of wind speeds of this hurricane. This frequency band is similar to those of secondary microseisms. The integrated power between 0.1 and 0.3 Hz shows a sudden increase of power during the first 6 hours of Oct. 22 and remains at this high level for about a day when the hurricane was the strongest. Seismic amplitudes decay from the coastal stations to the interior, suggesting (obviously) that coastal stations are critical for monitoring purposes.\nThe data in the central group showed a rapid increase of seismic energy for higher frequencies up to 1 Hz too, although the maximum energy was at about 0.15 Hz. We also noted that there were no significant changes in seismic data below 0.1 Hz.\nThese observations indicate that we should examine the frequency band from about 0.1 Hz to 0.4 Hz focusing mainly on the stations within about 500 km from the hurricane center.

METHODS: The EMECAM project protocol was followed. RESULTS: Increases in TSP, in both maximum hourly figures and daily averages, are significantly associated with increases in the daily number of deaths from all causes, from circulatory causes and from all causes among those older than 70. No differences between six-month periods were found. NO2 average levels were associated with daily mortality from respiratory causes in the entire period and during the warm season, and from all causes among those older than 70 in the cool months. CONCLUSIONS: TSP levels are associated with daily mortality in the Metropolitan Area of Bilbao. The relationship between NO2 and the number of deaths from respiratory causes, very high in the warm season, needs further research to assess its independence.\nKeywords : EMECAM Project; Mortality; Air pollution; Particles; Nitrogen dioxide; Poisson regression.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "|Brisbane.

They observed that there is an increased number of stratospheric warmings, when the heat flow from the North Atlantic into the atmosphere is increased. Trends for winter temperatures can be derived from these new findings. “This could mean that in Europe there will increasingly be periods lasting several decades with predominantly colder winters alternating with periods of warmer winters,” says Semjon Schimanke, who led the research. The meteorologists expect that in the long term their research will help weather forecasters make more accurate predictions.\nThe phenomenon of stratospheric warming was first discovered in 1952 by Professor Richard Scherhag at the Institute of Meteorology, Freie Universität Berlin. It appeared in the scientific literature as the “Berlin phenomenon.” In the meantime, these events are referred to as “sudden stratospheric warmings,” and 30 have been registered so far.\nOn average, sudden stratospheric warmings occur in every second winter, and they are very unevenly distributed over the observation period. Only a single stratospheric warming occurred between the winters of 1988/1989 and 1997/1998, while nine have been registered since the beginning of this millennium. So far there has been no explanation. With their new research, the meteorologists at Freie Universität have shown that the intermittent sudden stratospheric warmings are a consequence of the interaction between the North Atlantic, the troposphere, and the stratosphere. They found that an increased number of sudden stratospheric warmings occur when the heat flux from the North Atlantic into the atmosphere is increased.\nDuring the winter months in the lower polar stratosphere, which lies approximately 20 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, temperatures on average are below minus 70 degrees Celsius. The cold temperatures are combined with strong westerly winds that form the southern boundary of the so-called stratospheric polar vortex. This dominant structure is disrupted in some winters or even reversed. Under these conditions the temperatures in the lower stratosphere rise within a few days by more than 50 degrees, and the polar region is warmer than southerly latitudes. This implies a reversal in the west-east winds and the collapse of the polar vortex. Using models and observations, it was possible to show that such sudden stratospheric warmings are initially excited from the troposphere, but then also have a strong influence on tropospheric circulation.\nAfter a sudden stratospheric warming, among other things the differences in pressure between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High are reduced. This pressure difference determines the prevailing wind direction for Central Europe and thus determines whether the European winter turns cold or warm. Thus, for example, the 2009/2010 winter was characterized by a highly disturbed polar vortex, and in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere there was a severe and snowy winter.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "The lines of evidence that humans are raising CO2 levels\nWhat the science says...\nEvery year humans release about 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. This is causing the Earth to warm by disrupting the biological (fast) carbon cycle, and is therefore increasing the Greenhouse Effect. Although there are large annual fluctuations in carbon dioxide, as it is exchanged back-and-forth between the atmosphere, oceans, soils, and forests, just under half of human emissions (the airborne fraction) remain in the air because the oceans, soils and forests are unable to absorb all of it. As a result, carbon dioxide has been steadily accumulating in the atmosphere.\nFigure 1 - Fraction of the total human emissions (fossil fuel burning & land use change) that remain in the: a) atmosphere, b) land vegetation and soil, c) the oceans. From Canadell (2007)\nMurry Salby, a professor at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, has an upcoming paper that attempts to pin the current rise in carbon dioxide on rising temperatures. Having listened to a podcast of a talk Salby gave at the Sydney Institute earlier this week, he demonstrates a remarkably poor understanding of the carbon cycle, and his hypothesis seems to stem from this fundamental misunderstanding.\nSalby's carbon cycle confusion\nProfessor Salby refers to a number of graphs in his talk, but I have been unable to track down copies of these, therefore we'll have to rely on what I'm able to glean from the podcast, and given it's length, I'll only address some of the more obvious mistakes. At the beginning of the talk Salby states:\n\"current CO2 values are 380pmmv\"(parts per million by volume)\nNot an encouraging start that he cites the atmospheric CO2 concentration as it was in 2005, rather than the 393 parts per million by volume (ppmv) it currently is in 2011. Not a fatal flaw of course, but not encouraging either.\n\"Net annual emission has an average increase of about 1.5ppmv per year. We're on the right planet. That's the annual average increase you just saw. But it varies between years, dramatically by over 100%. From nearly zero in some years to 3ppmv in others. Net global emission of CO2 changes independently of of the human contribution\"\nAt this point the accentuation and drama in Salby's voice make it sound as though he has stumbled onto something momentous, something no one else has noticed before. On the face of it, it seems preposterous that the army of scientists that have worked on carbon cycling over the years could have missed something so glaringly obvious. No, of course they haven't.\nAs discussed in the first paragraph of this post (and evident in Figure 1), the natural flux of CO2 in and out of natural systems varies from year-to-year. This flux is 20-30 times larger than the annual contribution by humans, but this balances out in the long-term. This variability is driven largely by El Nino and La Nina in the tropical Pacific, which shifts rainfall patterns over much of the world and is associated with warming and cooling of equatorial waters in the Pacific. The change in seawater temperature, and episodic upwelling of carbon-rich deep water, significantly affects the uptake and outgassing of CO2 from the oceans, and of course rainfall variation greatly affects plant growth.\nThe upshot is that land vegetation takes up more CO2 during La Nina, and expels more CO2 during El Nino. In the ocean, the opposite trend occurs - El Nino leads to more CO2 absorption, and La Nina is when the oceans give up more CO2 (Figure 2).\nFigure 2 - (a) time trend in the exchange of CO2 by land-based vegetation (& soil microbes) with the atmosphere. (b) same - but for exchange of CO2 by ocean with atmosphere. Red indicates El Nino and blue La Nina phase. See Keeling (1995).\nThere is simply no reason why the annual fluctuation should match the human contribution. At least Salby doesn't explain why he expects this to be the case.\nHaving now convinced himself that short-term net CO2 has nothing to do with the human contribution, Salby therefore deduces long-term net CO2 must also be unrelated to human emissions. He goes on to derive a formula for CO2 rise associated with temperature. Salby claims a good match back to 1960 but therefafter it deviates from actual CO2 measurements by 10ppmv. By 1880, prior to atmospheric CO2 sampling, he estimates atmospheric CO2 at 275ppmv with a whopping uncertainty of 220 to 330ppmv!\nIn order to explain the deviation between the surface temperature record and his calculated atmospheric CO2 level, Salby blames the surface temperature record as being unreliable. As for his calculated trend disagreeing with the ice core record for the year 1880 (i.e the CO2 in air, from that period, trapped in ice cores) he 'disses' the ice core record claiming it to be only a 'proxy'. Which is news, I'm sure, to respected ice core experts like Dr Richard Alley.\nYou will note that every time the data disagrees with Salby's 'model', he trusts his 'model' over the data. Which contravenes the 'skeptic lore' that models are worthless and must be bashed, and only data should be trusted.\nQ&A time - try not to shoot yourself in the foot!\nThe question & answer session at the end of Salby's talk throws up a few more comments that just reinforce that he has strayed into a field of science which he just simply doesn't understand. Witness:\n\"I think it's a pitfall that people look at the ice proxy of CO2 and take it literally. It's not atmospheric CO2, and I don't believe it's CO2 that was even in the atmosphere when that piece of snow was layed down\"\nThis is nonsense. Perhaps Professor Salby should have acquainted himself with glaciology research before making such comments, because CO2 from ancient air trapped in the ice cores is precisely what is measured, albeit with some uncertainty in dating some sections.\n\"CO2 after the turn of the (21st) century continued to increase, in fact if anything slightly faster, but global temperature didn't. If anything it decreased in the first decade of the 21st century. Now I'm confident the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) will come up with an explanation, in fact they've come up with several\"\nIt's here we need to back the truck up a bit. Salby's entire premise is that CO2 in the air directly dependent upon temperature - increase temperature and you increase CO2. Yet here he argues that CO2 can increase without an accompanying increase in temperature. Which contradicts his 'model'. By this time Salby is too focused on 'dissing' the IPCC to notice his own incoherency, and none of the audience picks up on this either.\nIf the curve fits\nSeasoned readers will notice similarities between this Salby claim and a Lon Hocker rebuttal here at SkS last year. But the whole premise seems to follow along the lines of other recent flawed works tendered by Roy Spencer and Craig Loehle & Nicola Scafetta. That is: find some tenuous statistical relationship between two sets of data, and use these to assert the mainstream scientific establishment is wrong. The fact that there is no physical basis for the statistical relationship, or it doesn't fit within the well-established scientific framework, or is contrary to numerous other sets of data, never seems to warrant attention by \"skeptic\" scientists. It should, because of the implications one can draw.\nSo what does this work by Salby imply, if it were true? From what I can gather from Salby's podcast, a 0.8°C change in average surface temperature is supposed to lead to about 120ppmv change in CO2. Therefore we can work backward in time to estimate what he reckons atmospheric CO2 would be at the time of the last Ice Age (glacial maximum), a time when global temperatures were about 4-6°C cooler than now . Today atmospheric CO2 is about 393ppm, so with 4°C cooling you already have a negative value for CO2 when we re-trace our steps back to the last ice age. Therefore all plant-based life on Earth must have died (and all the animals that depended on them) according to Professor Salby. And the Earth froze solid too.\nFigure 3 - the last Ice Age according to Murry Salby? Fictional image from celestiamotherlode.net\nScience - a description of reality, but YMMV\nWithout viewing Salby's calculations on the temperature/net global CO2 relationship, it's not possible to provide the 'killer blow' to his assertions; however, I don't believe that's necessary, considering the many flaws in Salby's work and fundamental reasoning.\nThe gradual increase in atmospheric CO2 is less than the total emissions of CO2 from human sources, so by elementary deduction, the excess must be going into the oceans, forests and soils, the other components of the fast carbon cycle.\nA tell-tale signature of human fossil fuel emissions is the large fraction of CO2 being driven into the oceans. According to Henry's Law, we would expect the oceans to absorb more CO2 as the air above it becomes increasingly saturated with CO2. In other words the CO2 must be coming from a source external to the fast carbon cycle. This is supported by measurements showing that CO2 is accumulating in the ocean, and is reflected in the declining oceanic pH, showing the ocean is actually gaining CO2 over the long-term, not losing it, as Salby seems to believe.\nWe also know that the world's land vegetation has increased in mass - through re-growth in forests in the Northern Hemisphere, and CO2 fertilization of tropical forests. So that is gaining carbon too, and the areas affected are so large, we would expect them to have an effect on atmospheric CO2 levels at a global scale.\nThere are a host of other problems with Salby's 'model', such as the ice core record, and where the warming came from in the first place, but there's no need to go into these details when the fundamental premise of Salby's argument is so clearly wrong.\nIntermediate rebuttal written by dana1981\nUpdate July 2015:\nHere is a related lecture-video from Denial101x - Making Sense of Climate Science Denial\nLast updated on 11 July 2015 by MichaelK.

There are also numerous processes that introduce strong, regionalized variations to the overall warming trend. However, the ability of a forcing to change the surface air temperature depends on its spatial and temporal distribution. Here we show that the efficacy of a forcing is determined by the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere, which in cold and dry climates is defined by the depth of the planetary boundary layer. This can vary by an order of magnitude on different temporal and spatial scales, and so we get a strongly amplified temperature response in shallow boundary layers. This must be accounted for to assess the efficacy of a climate forcing, and also implies that multiple climate forcings cannot be linearly combined to determine the temperature response.\nThe detection of processes that affect the surface climate is one of the fundamental tools in our understanding of climate change. The assessment of climate-forcing processes is essentially a statistical, signal-to-noise problem. The most famous example is the detection of warmer surface air temperatures (SATs) attributed to the human-induced enhanced concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide1,2. One of the challenges in the detection of climate forcing signals has been the strong spatial correlation between the strength of the surface temperature trends and the strength of natural variability3. This relation leads to an inherently low signal-to-noise ratio, regardless of the strength of temperature trends. Indeed, despite the well-established rapid warming in the Arctic4,5,6, the polar regions were the last part of the globe for which there was a successful detection and attribution of the recent warming to anthropogenic-enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations7.\nIn addition to the detection of the influence of enhanced GHGs on surface temperatures, there have been numerous studies assessing how clouds8,9,10,11,12, precipitation8,12,13 and soil moisture8,12 may have introduced some of the observed temporal and regional variations to the overall warming trend that has been seen in the latter half of the twentieth century. In all these studies, the authors have adopted the commonly accepted linear regression model for establishing the relationship between a change in a given property and the temperature response14. However, it has been established from energy-budget models of the climate that temperature changes are linearly related to changes in the surface heating, but also inversely related to the effective heat capacity of the system15,16. Thus, although a linear-model approximation may work well under constrained conditions, such as focusing on a given region or season, in more wide-reaching studies it becomes necessary to account for variations in the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere. In recent times, it has also been recognized that the atmospheric convective mixing may have a strong effect on the observed and simulated climate through modulation of the low cloud and lapse-rate feedbacks17.\nAs the effective heat capacity is defined by the volume of air through which the heat is mixed, it can be related to the depth of the atmospheric boundary layer18. If we consider the one-dimensional energy budget of the lower atmosphere, then we define the change in SAT as being linearly related to the forcing and feedbacks in the climate system, and inversely related to the effective heat capacity of the system19, such that:\nwhere Q (W m−2) is the heat flux divergence across a boundary layer of depth h (m), ρ (kg m−3) is the air density, cp (J kg−1 K−1) is the heat capacity at constant pressure and θv (K) is the virtual potential temperature that is representative of the boundary layer. Henceforth, θv is taken at a height of 2 m above the ground. If differences in the effective heat capacity of the system are relatively small, we can linearly relate any changes to the heating to a change in θv. However, if there are large variations in the effective heat capacity, we need to account for the dependency of the temperature response on the effective heat capacity. This is especially important when the effective heat capacity is small, as this can strongly magnify the strength of the SAT response to a perturbation in the surface energy budget3.\nThe hypothesis we put forward here presumes that there is essentially a decoupling of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) from the rest of the atmosphere. Such a decoupling may not be intuitive, but it is a rather natural concept, supported by numerous direct observations20,21, and indeed it is embedded in the PBL schemes of many (if not all) climate models22.\nConsider the case of the urban PBL. The urban PBL is better mixed than the PBL in the rural background due to high surface roughness in the urban environment. Nevertheless, even the urban PBL shows a rather clear top boundary, separating it from the rest of the atmosphere23,24, which can be visualized by water vapour (Fig. 1). The well-known urban heat island effect25, which in northern cities may reach up to 10 K (ref. 26), demonstrates how heat may be trapped inside the urban boundary layer.\nNow consider in this urban context, which can be so clearly visualized, the presumption that this decoupling is valid on climatological time scales. The urban heat island is highly variable in time and may appear for only a few hours in a given day. However, as the PBL effect is strongly selective and nonlinear, the average over climatological time scales is accumulating. We cannot state that the maximum effect will be observed over the time scale of 30–40 years, as addressed in this study, but over this period of time it is sufficiently large as well. Figure 2 illustrates the urban heat island, that is, the additional anthropogenic heat trapped in by the shallow PBL in Khanty–Mansiysk, according to MODIS satellite data analysis for 2000–2014. Thus, from numerous local studies, it has been firmly established that the PBL depth effect does exist. Our study here is the first to quantify this effect globally, using available data sets and models.\nDifferent climate forcing processes such as variations in solar forcing, GHGs and aerosols have different efficacies in affecting the SAT27,28,29. In this work we have demonstrated that it is the variations in the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere, defined by the PBL depth, which can explain these differences in climate forcing efficacy. We must therefore question the assumption that different climate forcings are linearly additive in nature. This work highlights the pressing need to obtain a robust physical climatology of the boundary layer depth from the observational network and to be able to simulate this climatology with global climate models, to better constrain our estimates of surface climate response to climate forcings.\nTemperature trend amplification in shallow boundary layers\nHere we have identified the relationship between the boundary layer depth and the trend in θv during the recent warming period, as seen in different re-analyses, and in two state-of-the-art global climate models (Fig. 3). There is a distinctly inverse relationship, where the strongest warming trends are found in shallow boundary layers, and correspondingly low atmospheric heat capacity. The strength of the trends decrease rapidly as we go towards deeper boundary layers and then remain relatively constant across a wide range of boundary layer depths. This amplified temperature trend in the shallowest boundary layers can also be seen in climate models with very different climatologies of the PBL depth. The Norwegian Earth System Model and Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratories Coupled Model 3 have very different climatologies of the PBL depth compared with the re-analyses (Supplementary Fig. 1); both have biases towards deeper PBLs, but they still show a significant correlation between inverse boundary layer depth and the magnitude of trends in θv (R = 0.35, P < 0.05 and R = 0.32, P < 0.05, respectively). This process where heat gets trapped in a shallow layer near the surface by stable stratification in the boundary layer has been shown to be one of the dominant causes of Arctic amplification30,31, but it also has a crucial implication for how we assess the efficacy of different forcings in affecting the SAT. Given the large differences between the climatology of the PBL depth in re-analyses and the global climate models shown here, and the controlling influence the boundary layer depth has on the surface climate32, this is clearly an area that requires more attention, especially in future model development.\nVariability in the strength of the boundary layer effect\nOwing to its varied climatology (Supplementary Fig. 2), there are some geographical differences as to when the boundary layer depth becomes important in determining the strength of temperature trends. For deep boundary layers the relationship between boundary layer depth and temperature trends is expected to be small, and it is the strength of the local forcing factors themselves, which will principally determine the variations in the rate of warming. However, in shallower boundary layers the strength of temperature trends may be expected to become increasingly dependent on the boundary layer depth. This can be seen in the correlation between the magnitude of temperature trends and the inverse boundary layer depth for different geographical regions (Fig. 4). In high-latitude continental regions such as North America, North Asia and Antarctica, where we frequently get very shallow boundary layers in autumn and winter, there is a strong correlation between inverse boundary layer depth and θv trends. Whereas in more tropical regions such as Africa, South Asia and South America, where cases of shallow boundary layers are less frequent, there is no evidence of this amplification effect.\nThere is also a strong seasonal variation in the PBL amplification effect: in the boreal spring and summer, the boundary layer is relatively deep and so the amplification effect is relatively weak. However, during the boreal autumn and winter, we can see that the PBL depth is very small over land (Supplementary Fig. 2); thus, during these periods the amplification effect of the PBL depth can become important and should be taken into account. This is why studies that have chosen to focus on the mid-latitudes during the summer seasons have had some success in demonstrating a relationship between a given forcing process and changes to the SAT9, whereas more global analysis of the same processes have shown weaker relationships8. From the ERA-Interim results, we can see that the amplification effect becomes very apparent for boundary layers less than a few hundred metres (Fig. 3). This is quite common, with PBL depths <400 m occurring >46 % of the time in ERA-Interim. This is a good indication of the fraction of time that the PBL depth becomes important in determining the strength of temperature trends.\nIncluding the boundary layer effect in signal detection\nOne way to account for the PBL depth in the analysis of climate processes is by considering the integrated temperature response within a co-variability framework (Fig. 5). In this framework, the net temperature change is proportional to the time integration of the product of the perturbations in the forcing, dQ, with the inverse boundary layer depth, h−1. In this regard, the conventional methodology is a limit of the co-variability framework, when the variations in the heat capacity can be neglected and we can directly relate perturbations in the forcing to perturbations in the surface temperature (case A, Fig. 5). This is a reasonable approximation only if that forcing is applied solely to deep or weakly varying boundary layers such as the tropical marine boundary layer17. The other limit of the co-variability framework occurs when we have a uniformly applied perturbation to the climate forcing (case B, Fig. 5). In this limit, it is the climatology of the boundary layer depth that principally determines the pattern of warming/cooling in response to a perturbation in the surface heating. The enhanced concentration of GHGs is one such example of a near-uniform perturbation in the surface heating and, as such, there is a strong relationship between the inverse boundary layer depth and the strength of temperature trends in re-analysis (Fig. 3), and both within and between global climate models32.\nHowever, in most cases it is both the PBL depth and the strength of the forcing that will be important in determining the spatial and temporal variations of climate change. In these cases, it is necessary to account for the nonlinear amplification effect of the PBL depth. Let us take the example of the influence of cloud cover on surface temperatures. We expect that an increase in cloud cover during the day will damp incoming solar radiation and thus decrease surface temperatures9. However, an increase in cloud cover at night is expected to reduce longwave cooling and hence result in warmer surface temperatures. Thus, the net effect of changes to the cloud cover on the surface climate is determined by the balance between the cooling effect of damped shortwave radiation and the warming effect of reduced longwave cooling. The cooling effect principally applies during conditions with strong surface heating (when the surface energy balance is dominated by shortwave radiation) and applies to deep PBLs, compared with the warming effect that dominates when there is a net longwave cooling and relatively shallow PBLs. Therefore, when we consider the effect of changes in cloud cover on the atmospheric heat content, rather than on the surface temperature, we expect the cooling effect to become more apparent. This can be seen in the regressions of the cloud cover anomalies, , against surface temperature anomalies, , and against normalized atmospheric heat content anomalies, (Fig. 6). If we look at the sensitivity of surface temperature to cloud cover we can see that in the high latitudes the strong winter-time warming effect of increased cloud cover dominates on the inter-annual scale and we get a strong positive relationship, whereas when we consider the effect of cloud cover on heat anomalies we find a more widespread cooling effect of increased cloud cover, even in these high-latitude continental interiors.This may be expected, as the warming effect of positive cloud cover perturbations on the surface temperature that occurs during the winter months only has a small impact on the atmospheric heat content compared with the cooling that occurs in deep PBLs in the summer months. Thus, when we account for variations in the effective heat capacity, we get a significantly stronger damping of atmospheric heat content from increased cloud cover than we found when assessing surface temperatures: the globally averaged overland temperature sensitivity to cloud cover is −12 (±17) × 10−3 K %−1, compared with a sensitivity of normalized heat content to cloud cover of −32 (± 16) × 10−3 K %−1. This marks a much clearer signal of an overall cooling effect of increased cloud cover on the surface climate.\nWhat is proposed here is essentially a way of accounting for the fact that processes such as changes to cloud cover, soil moisture and so on introduce perturbations to the heating, but what we measure is the temperature perturbation. It has been shown that we can better understand influences on the climate system by considering the heat content, rather than the temperature, of the components of the climate system33; however, the importance of spatial and temporal variations in the heat capacity have largely been neglected. This can be especially important within the diurnal cycle, when the shallow boundary layer depths at night drive strong changes to the nocturnal temperatures12, which have a strong impact on vegetation34.\nHere we have shown that by accounting for the variations in the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere we can more accurately assess how a given process influences the surface climate. This allows us to directly compare, in an apples-to-apples manner, the relative importance of different processes in determining the overall response of the climate system to perturbations in the climate forcing. This is also critical for model-model and model-observation comparisons of climate forcing processes. There is a very varied climatology of the PBL in different climate models and re-analysis (Fig. 3) (refs 32, 35, 36) and so these models can exhibit very different temperature responses, given the same change in the climate forcing.\nProcessing of re-analysis data\nWe obtained the monthly mean time series of air and dew-point temperature at a height of 2 m above the ground, boundary layer depth and sea-ice concentration from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts website for the full period of available data, 1979–2014. The air and dew-point temperature were then used to calculate the virtual potential temperature at a height of 2 m above the ground, θv. The boundary layer depth in the ERA-Interim model is calculated using an iterative bulk-Richardson method, which scans upwards from the lowest model level and interpolates between model levels to find the height at which the bulk Richardson number first exceeds the critical Richardson number, Ricr, taken to be 0.25. Although the bulk-Richardson method has been shown to work well in both stable and unstable stratification35, this definition does create some problems in tropical regions, including parts of South America, Africa and South Asia. The estimation of the boundary layer depth from different methods shows great variation in these regions of high surface humidity and strong convection, and so the ERA-Interim PBL depth is not necessarily reflective of the vertical extent of turbulent mixing36. This is likely to be the reason for the lack of a clear signal of shallow boundary layer amplification of temperature trends in these regions (Fig. 4).\nThe models used in both re-analysis and GCMs also tend to be biased towards producing deeper-than-observed boundary layers, especially under stably stratified conditions35,37. This is probably due to our limited understanding of geophysical turbulence under stable stratification and the limited applicability of current turbulence parameterization schemes to strongly, stably stratified conditions37. This bias has been shown to lead to an underestimation of the SAT response to climate forcing32.\nThe sea-ice concentration was used to define the region ‘sea ice’ in Fig. 4. The requirement for being considered over sea ice was that the minimum concentration for a location in a given month be >80% in all years.\nThe monthly mean time series of air temperature and specific humidity at a height of 2 m above the ground, the boundary layer depth and sea-ice concentration were obtained from the National Center for Atmospheric Research website. The boundary layer depth in this model is calculated in a similar way as to that in ERA-Interim, using the bulk-Richardson formulation and the same critical Richardson number.\nAnalysis of climate model data\nTo calculate the boundary layer depth in these models, we used a bulk Richardson method. This was chosen due to the limits of data availability for other methods, for example, no information on local gradients was available, which would be required for a flux-Richardson method, and the vertical resolution in these models is too coarse for any of the profile-based methods. The bulk-Richardson method has also been shown to be the most robust across a wide range of thermal stability and is consistent with the method used in the re-analyses.\nFirst, we obtained the 6-hourly resolution three-dimensional fields of the wind components, humidity and temperature, and the 3-hourly resolution surface temperature, pressure and humidity for the period 1979–2005 for Norwegian Earth System Model and Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratories Coupled Model 3 from the British Atmospheric Data Centre archive. The temperature and humidity fields were used to calculate the virtual potential temperature at each model level and at the surface using the definition , where θ is the potential temperature and M is the water–vapour mixing ratio. The thickness of each model level, Z, was calculated using a hydrostatic assumption, such that , where i is the index of the model level with the surface being i = 0, θv is the virtual potential temperature, p the pressure, Rd the dry gas constant ( 287.06 J kg−1 K−1) and g the surface gravity ( 9.807 m s−2). The geometric height of each level was then calculated by the summation of the thickness of the lower levels. The bulk Richardson number at each pressure level was calculated using the difference between that level and the surface: , where g is the surface gravity, z is the height above the surface, θv is the virtual potential temperature at height z, θvs is the virtual potential temperature at a height of 2 m above the surface and U is the wind speed at height z. We then scanned upwards from the lowest level above the surface and linearly interpolated between levels, to find the first height at which the bulk Richardson number exceeded the critical value, Ricr. We also applied a requirement that the PBL depth should be >10 m and <4 km: as this was an automated method, these constraints were necessary to avoid cases where the routine returned unphysical PBL depths.\nThe correlations given in Fig. 4 are the area-weighted spatial correlations between the monthly mean inverse boundary layer depth and the inter-annual trend in the monthly mean virtual potential temperature at a height of 2 m above the ground. The P-values were computed to test against the null hypothesis of zero correlation using a Student’s t distribution for a transformation of the correlation.\nThe regression coefficients in Fig. 6 were determined from a least-square, best-fit linear regression between the two variables under consideration. These were the cloud-cover anomalies against the anomalies in θv and the cloud cover anomalies against the normalized heat anomalies, , where is the area-weighted, climatological mean boundary layer depth. Anomalies were calculated by removing the climatological mean of each month from the time series using the full period of the data, 1979–2014.\nThe Matlab code used to generate the PBL depth and virtual potential temperature data sets discussed in this work have been archived by the authors and are available on request from the corresponding author, R.D. firstname.lastname@example.org).\nAll the model data used in this study is publicly available from the respective host institutions or archives.

This series contains some information from my book The Message of the Clouds and it will cover the most useful clouds for weather forecasting.\nPannus clouds are probably my favourite cloud, not because they ar e particularly attractive but because they are extremely accurate weather forecasters. Pannus clouds are grey fragmented or wispy clouds which form below the main cloud base of precipitating clouds (clouds producing rain or snow). They form as precipitation from above moistens the air until it is so damp that these dark clouds form. They can be known as virga or fallstreaks when they are in a wispy form like the photo below.\nPannus clouds are often fragmented due to turbulent winds and they appear to rapidly move and change shape. They indicate that the clouds above are already raining and that there will be rain on the ground in the next ten minutes. These clouds increase in numbers as the rain falls until they cover the whole sky. Pannus clouds form below cumulonimbus clouds and nimbostratus clouds, although they mainly form below the latter.\nPannus clouds are useful because they almost always indicate rain in the next few minutes so if you see these clouds remember to wear the waterproofs and pack up the picnic!\nI hope you enjoyed the first cloud of the week and come back next week for more! If you would like more information on weather forecasting using this cloud and with many other clouds you might find my book The Message of the Clouds helpful.

Synoptic History\nA tropical wave, which on 19 August produced the tropical depression\nthat became Atlantic Hurricane Bonnie, moved westward across the Caribbean Sea from 21-24 August\nand crossed Central America on 25 August. As the wave moved into an area covered by a large lower-tropospheric\ncyclonic circulation (or, at least, cyclonic turning) covering southern Mexico and the adjacent waters, its\nforward speed slowed. A broad area of disturbed weather, associated with these atmospheric features,\npersisted over the tropical eastern north Pacific between 90W-110W from 26-29 August. A more\nlocalized area of low-level cyclonic rotation became evident on 29 August a little over 500 n mi\nsouth-southeast of Cabo San Lucas. There was little change in organization for the next day or two. On 31\nAugust, the system was characterized by two main areas of dense cloudiness located a few degrees\nnortheast and southwest of the center of circulation. By 0000 UTC 1 September, even though deep\nconvection was still not well-organized, the low-cloud circulation was sufficiently well-defined so that\nthe system could be designated as a tropical depression, centered slightly less than 300 n mi south of\nCabo San Lucas (Table 1). The overall track of this\ntropical cyclone is displayed in\nFigure 1 (16K GIF).\nAs the cyclone moved slowly northward to north-northwestward, it gradually\nintensified. Ship observations indicate that the cyclone strengthened into Tropical Storm Isis by 1800\nUTC 1 September, located about 170 n mi south of Cabo San Lucas. With a 500 mb trough, extending\nsouth-southwestward from the California/Arizona border, providing a southerly steering flow, Isis\nmoved northward at about 10 knots. Its center made a first landfall,\nover extreme southeastern Baja California, at 1200 UTC 2 September. Isis then moved slightly east of north,\nover the Gulf of California while strengthening to a 65-knot hurricane,\nan eye becoming apparent\non visible satellite imagery. The hurricane more or less maintained this strength until the center made its\nfinal landfall in Mexico at Topolobampo, close to Los Mochis, around 0300 UTC 3 September. Isis\nweakened to a tropical storm a few hours after landfall, and to a depression by 1800 UTC 3 September.\nThe system dissipated over the mountains of Mexico soon thereafter.\nb. Meteorological Statistics\nFigures 2 (11K GIF) and 3\n(11K GIF) depict the curves of minimum central sea-level\npressure and maximum one-minute average \"surface\" (10 meters above ground level) wind speed,\nrespectively, as a function of time. Also plotted are the observations on which the curves are based,\nconsisting of Dvorak-technique estimates (from TAFB, the\nSynoptic Analysis Branch, SAB, and the U.S.\nAir Force Global Weather Agency,\nAFGWC in the figures) using satellite imagery.\nIslas Marias reported south-southwesterly winds at a ten-minute average speed of\n40 knots at 0000 UTC 2 September. San Jose del Cabo reported\n270/20 knots (ten-minute average) with gusts to 40 knots at 1445 UTC\nThe following 24-hour rainfall totals were reported: 12.99 inches at Los Cabos, Baja\nCalifornia Sur; 8.86 inches in Sinaloa; and 4.72 inches in Sonora.\nTable 2 lists ship reports of 34-knot or greater winds associated with Isis.\nc. Casualty and Damage Statistics\nAccording to information provided by the government of Mexico to the\nWorld Meteorological Organization,\nIsis caused 14 deaths in Mexico, and destroyed 769 houses.\nd. Forecast and Warning Critique\nMean official track forecast errors for Isis at 12, 24, and 36 hours were 36, 79, and 87 n\nmi, respectively. Although these errors are low, there were too few cases six, four and two respectively)\nfor them to be considered statistically meaningful. In any case, the cyclone moved fairly close to the\ntrack predicted in the NHC advisories.\nThe average official absolute wind speed forecast errors were also rather low;\nnonetheless, the slight strengthening of Isis to a hurricane was not forecast.\nTable 3 lists the watches and warnings that the government of Mexico issued for their\ncountry. The center of Isis reached Baja California 15 hours after the issuance of a tropical storm\nwarning. There was only about six hours between the time of issuance of a hurricane warning on the\ncoast of mainland Mexico and the time of arrival of the center.\nTable 3.

He who controls the present controls the past.” – George Orwell\nBEFORE NASA climate was completely captured by the radical environmental movement and grant-gleefully sold their soul to the widely debunked “97% of scientists believe that CO2 is the climate control knob” groupthink-consensus-virus, they knew perfectly well that the sun controlled Earth’s climate.\nAND, before the new-NASA-activists rewrote climate ‘science’, the National Aeronautics Space Agency boldly (and correctly) noted that “Other important forcings of Earth’s climate system” such as “clouds, airborne particulate matter, and surface brightness [have] the capacity to exceed the warming influence of greenhouse gases and cause our world to cool.”\nFROM the above NASA article that disappeared around 2010 :\nWHAT ARE THE PRIMARY FORCINGS OF THE EARTH SYSTEM?\nThe Sun is the primary forcing of Earth’s climate system. Sunlight warms our world. Sunlight drives atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns. Sunlight powers the process of photosynthesis that plants need to grow. Sunlight causes convection which carries warmth and water vapor up into the sky where clouds form and bring rain. In short, the Sun drives almost every aspect of our world’s climate system and makes possible life as we know it.\nEarth’s orbit around and orientation toward the Sun change over spans of many thousands of years. In turn, these changing “orbital mechanics” force climate to change because they change where and how much sunlight reaches Earth. Thus, changing Earth’s exposure to sunlight forces climate to change. According to scientists’ models of Earth’s orbit and orientation toward the Sun indicate that our world should be just beginning to enter a new period of cooling — perhaps the next ice age.\nHowever, a new force for change has arisen: humans. After the industrial revolution, humans introduced increasing amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and changed the surface of the landscape to an extent great enough to influence climate on local and global scales. By driving up carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (by about 30 percent), humans have increased its capacity to trap warmth near the surface.\nOther important forcings of Earth’s climate system include such “variables” as clouds, airborne particulate matter, and surface brightness. Each of these varying features of Earth’s environment has the capacity to exceed the warming influence of greenhouse gases and cause our world to cool. For example, increased cloudiness would give more shade to the surface while reflecting more sunlight back to space. Increased airborne particles (or “aerosols”) would scatter and reflect more sunlight back to space, thereby cooling the surface. Major volcanic eruptions (such as that of Mt. Pinatubo in 1992) can inject so much aerosol into the atmosphere that, as it spreads around the globe, it reduces sunlight and cause Earth to cool. Likewise, increasing the surface area of highly reflective surface types, such as ice sheets, reflects greater amounts of sunlight back to space and causes Earth to cool.\nScientists are using NASA satellites to monitor all of the aforementioned forcings of Earth’s climate system to better understand how they are changing over time, and how any changes in them affect climate.\nH/t @ApafarkasAgmand Read the rest of this entry »\nPosted: May 30, 2018 Filed under: Alarmism uncovered, Climate Alarmism, Climate Change, Climate History, Climate science, Climatism, CLIMATISM TOP 10 ALARMIST MYTHS, COP21, Data Tampering, Empirical Evidence, Government Grants/Funding, Govt Climate Agenda, IPCC, NASA, NOAA, Pacific Island Nations, Satellite Data, Scientific Fraud, Sea Level Rise | Tags: Acceleration, Alarmism, Climate Change, Climate Change Alarmism, Climate science, Data Fraud, Data Tampering, Fake News, Gavin Schmidt, Global Warming, Mainstream media, nasa, NOAA, Oceans, Science and Environment, Scientific Fraud, sea level rise, SLR, Tom Karl\n“CLIMATE alarmism is a gigantic fraud: it only survives by suppressing dissent and by spending tens of billions of dollars of public money every year on pseudo-scientific propaganda.” – Leo Goldstein\nCLIMATISM TOP 10 ALARMIST MYTHS – Intro\nEXCESSIVE or exaggerated alarm about a real or imagined threat is fundamental in driving the human CO2-induced\nglobal warming climate change narrative.\nTHE most popular climatic and weather-related events, as marketed by the Climate Crisis Industry, fall well within the bounds of natural variability.

Recent work suggests that anticipated global warming may be uneven, with a significant increase in night compared to day temperature. Sun-lit, outdoor environment chambers were used to determine the impact of increasing night temperatures at two constant day temperatures (29/21, 29/25, 29/29ºC and 33/25, 33/29 and 33/33ºC) as well as increasing day/night temperature (29/21, 33/25 and 36/29ºC) on growth and yield of rice (cv. IR 72). Increasing daylnight temperature to 36/29ºC resulted in a significant reduction in both plant biomass and grain yield at harvest. At a constant day temperature of 29ºC, increasing night temperature did not significantly alter growth or yield; however, increasing night temperature at a day temperature of 33ºC (8 h duration) resulted in a significant decline in grain yield, primarily due to reduced seed set. The decline in grain yield at 33ºC with increasing night time temperature was similar to that observed at a daylnight temperature of 36/29ºC.

Their findings suggest that feedbacks in the climate system – in which warming is linked to natural carbon dioxide increase, driving further warming – may operate faster than previously thought.\nIn a paper published in Climate of the Past, the researchers use Antarctic and Greenland ice cores to examine temperature and carbon dioxide changes during the largest natural climate change in Earth's recent climate history: the warming out of the last ice age. As past Antarctic temperatures increased, ocean circulation was altered and carbon dioxide - most likely from the deep Southern Ocean - escaped into the atmosphere. Previous studies had suggested that it took up to 1000 years for this to happen. But the new study, drawing on data from five separate ice cores that figure.\n\"The ice cores reveal a near-synchronous temperature and carbon dioxide increase. If there was a lag at all then it was likely no more than 400 years,\" says Dr Joel Pedro from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC, in Hobart, who led the study.\nOne of the burning issues that study raises is whether current anthropogenic warming may drive additional natural carbon dioxide increases sooner than we thought, compounding the climate change problem. Dr Pedro acknowledges that the research raises this possibility, but cautions that a firm answer on whether we need to revise thinking on the timescales of carbon cycle response to anthropogenic warming requires further research.\nDr Pedro says that there are similarities but also important differences between current climate change and the natural processes described in their research.\n\"The coupled rise in temperature and natural increase in carbon dioxide that helped end the ice age took place gradually, over about 8000 years. What we have seen since the start of the industrial revolution is a similar carbon dioxide increase occurring over only a few hundred years. This is way faster than anything in the ice core record and it's clearly human-caused. Just as the steady increase in carbon dioxide helped to melt the ice caps and warm the Earth out of the ice age, the rapid increase now in carbon dioxide is also driving up temperatures, only at a much faster rate,\" he said.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "By Zack Holden, USFS Scientist, Northern Region, Missoula, MT\nThe high late winter snowpack, warm spring temperatures and a warm, yet humid summer could have important consequences for berry production of several shrub species this summer in the region that are beloved by both people and bears.\nIn a study of interannual production of Huckleberry and Serviceberry in western Montana and Northern Idaho, we used data from several SNOTEL stations in western Montana to examine relationships between climate and huckleberry and serviceberry fruit production across the Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear recovery zone. Recall that from a previous post and refereed publication, we have correlated berry productivity to maximum snow water equivalent, springtime growing degree days during and diurnal temperature range in July. Using data collected on those factors, we derive a forecast for huckleberry and serviceberry in Northern Idaho and Northwestern Montana for 2012.\nClimate observations: Climate data from two SNOTEL stations in northwestern Montana, Hawkins Lake (6450 ft el) and Banfield Mountain (5600 ft el) used in our previous study have been updated through 2012. This year both sites experienced above average (1989-2012) maximum snow water equivalent due to the wet spring and the high elevations of these stations. Despite elevated snowpack, spring temperatures were slightly above average. And finally, as mentioned in the previous post, the moist air mass in the region for month of July contributed to some of the lowest diurnal temperature ranges at the lower elevation Banfield Mountain station seen in the 24 year record at this site with only the exceptionally wet summer of 1993 having a lower diurnal temperature range.\nMinimum temperature at Banfield Mountain was above normal for 27 of the 31 days in July. This was primarily a consequence of high atmospheric humidity in July, which limited outgoing longwave radiation, resulting in relatively high nighttime minimum temperatures.\nAnecdotally, in the Ninemile valley where I live in western Montana, we have experienced almost no cold air drainage so far this year. This has been a stark contrast to the last two years, where we experienced strong inversions and cold air flows on most nights in July and August when on calm, clear nights.\nSo, what does this all mean for berry productivity this year? Past huckleberry production has been highest during cool springs with high diurnal temperature ranges. This relationship may reflect earlier than optimal flowering timing in years with warm springs and better berry development associated with higher vapor pressure deficits and clear skies.\nBecause of the warmer spring temperatures and moist air this July, our model predicts Huckleberry production of 1.20 berries per plot, 70% of the 23 year average measured berry index. The story for Serviceberry should be a bit different. The relatively high snowpack and near average spring temperatures bode well for berry production in this lower elevation species. Our model for serviceberry predicts an average of 205 berries per plot, 160% of the 22 year measured average.\nWayne Kasworm of the US Fish and Wildlife Service continues to monitor berry productivity across this region and it will be interesting to see how well our simple statistical models predict his field-based estimates of berry production this year. In addition to being useful for the efficiency and success at collecting berries, these model predictions may be helpful in understanding late summer and fall bear behavior in the region. For 2012, the models suggest that the huckleberry production may be lower than average, while the lower elevation serviceberry production should be relatively high. This could be a recipe for more bears moving into lower elevation valleys in search of food.

These clouds can be divided into three categories: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL), and stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL). These clouds are usually formed perpendicular to the direction of the wind. The lens shape of the cloud is often mistaken by people as a ‘UFO’ or unidentified flying object.\nNow that we know what are lenticular clouds, let us understand how is it formed. These kinds of clouds are usually found on the peak of the mountain or mountainous regions. The winds usually blow downwards. When the temperature of these winds drop below certain level, the moisture in the air condenses and forms into a lenticular cloud above the top of the mountain. However, when the temperature rises again, these clouds transform back into air moisture, and the cloud disappears. In some cases, continuous flow of such downwards waves form many layers of lenticular clouds. These are known as wave clouds.\nThese are often mistaken as UFO because the shape bears striking resemblance to a flying saucer. Sometimes, very bright color are seen near the outer edges of such lenticular clouds.\nPilots of majority of the aircrafts avoid such clouds because of the air movement near that area and the dampness of the air. However, gliders are often attracted to these clouds as they signify the perfect location of the movement of the air mass, which is all required to glide.\nThese shapes look provide a remarkable panorama for photographers and visitors. Besides, it looks really beautiful if seen from an altitude, especially from an aircraft. One can find several wallpapers of these clouds.

The weak vertical shear, the high-temperature gradient between warmer sea surface & colder atmosphere and strong upper-level divergence has increased the heat and moisture exchange between the sea surface and the atmosphere via surface heat fluxes and vertical winds and enhanced the convection and intensified the system. Abnormally high SST (on 17th May) and combined effect of strong upper-level divergence, lower level convergence and low wind shear may be the reason behind the rapid intensification of Amphan. The interaction with 400 hPa trough has also intensified Amphan.

The wettest areas were in the eastern Twin Cities Metro area and in Cook County. There were a couple of heavy precipitation events during the month. The first was on the 5th-6th and another on the 21st-23rd and a final event on the 29th-30th. The Twin Cities International Airport saw 2.95 inches for the month or 1.27 inches above normal. An observer in Mahtomedi in Washington County saw 3.43 inches of precipitation. One of the drier locations was in west central Minnesota with Benson only seeing .08 inch or 1.42 inches short of normal. The preliminary average statewide precipitation was 1.40 inches or .09 inches below normal.\n[see: March 2022 Precipitation Total Map | March 2022 Precipitation Departure Map | March 2022 Climate Summary Table | March 2022 Percent of Normal Precipitation Map]\n- There were three main weather systems that affected the state in March 2022. The first was a messy spring storm on March 5-6 that brought a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and thunderstorms to much of Minnesota, with a quick barrage of extremely heavy snow in some areas as a final act.\n[see: Messy Spring Storm and Unusual Snow Burst, March 5-6, 2022]\n- The second event was on March 21-23 that brought steady rains to southern and eastern Minnesota, with freezing rain, sleet and heavy snow falling over the northern and northeastern parts of the state. Areas around Mankato, Rochester, and the Twin Cities received over an inch of precipitation, with a half-inch or more falling over the southeastern 60% of the state, basically south and east of a line from Worthington, to Leech Lake, to International Falls.\n[see: Wet, Slushy, and Snowy Spring Storm, March 21-23, 2022]\n- The active month of March 2022 had one more slush storm to go. On March 29-30, most of the state had received measurable precipitation, with the most falling between Mankato and the Twin Cities area, where amounts of 0.75 to 1.25 inches were common. Snowfall was most significant in the area from near Moorhead and Pelican Rapids, through Detroit Lakes and Bemidji. Here, accumulations of 4-8 inches were widespread, with 9.9 inches reported by observers near Lake Ida and Lake Park. Although the ice accumulations were not significant or damaging, many residents awoke Wednesday to find unusual ice patterns on trees, fences, and other elevated objects.\n[see: Another wet, slushy, and icy storm, March 29-30, 2022]\n- Unlike 2020 and 2021, March 2022 finished with below normal temperatures. It was the third month in a row to finish below normal with a preliminary statewide average of 27.5 degrees or 1.2 degrees below normal. Despite the fact March finished cool there was a burst of mild temperatures with 50s, 60s and even a rouge 70 degree reading during the third week of the month. The warmest temperature found was 71 degrees at Pipestone on the 21st and the coldest temperature was -29 degrees F at both Kabetogama and Tower 2S on the 12th.

The snow depth map of April 7, won’t be the last as a fairly robust snowpack hangs on in the far north and northeast\n[see: MNDNR April Snow Depth Maps | NWS Snow Depth Estimation Map | Midwest Regional Climate Center Snow Depth Map]\n- The U. S. Drought Monitor map released on April 7, 2022 depicts 52% of the state with some level of drought designation. Last year at this time, 85% of the state had some level of dryness indicator. On April 7, 2022 about 43% of the state was Abnormally Dry, and 10% of the state in Moderate Drought conditions. Ample March and early April rains (and snow) has continued the gradual improvement that began in the fall of 2021. The U.S. Drought Monitor index is a blend of science and subjectivity where drought categories (Moderate, Severe, etc.) are based on several indicators.\n[see: Drought Conditions Overview]\n- The 2022 spring flood season due to snowmelt (at least so far) was fairly on the quiet side. On April 8, most rivers in the state were in the normal range, with a few areas in the west central parts of the state in the “much above normal” range. On April 8, the Red River of the North was peaking at Wahpeton in the minor flood stage and was on the rise downstream from Fargo to Pembina.\n[see: Statewide USGS Stream Flow Conditions | Central Minnesota Rivers | Southeast Minnesota Rivers | Northwest Minnesota Rivers, including the Red River\n- Water levels on most Minnesota lakes vary depending on lake and location. The benchmark lakes were ice covered in early April so water levels are preliminary. Mille Lacs was frozen down to the water sensor, so there is no current level. A preliminary Minnetonka level was at 928.55 feet on April 8, with Grays Bay Dam closed. White Bear Lake had a preliminary level of 923.67 feet on April 8. Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods were both in the median range for early April. Lake Superior was forecasted to be at 600.95 feet on April 8, two inches lower than the long term monthly average for early April and eleven inches below the level in early April 2021.

I have looked at this event several times over and I am left scratching my head. Tornado outbreak? No way. Will storm cells discretely develop southwestward along a stationary boundary? No chance. And will the tornadoes that develop move southwest too, last a fairly long time, and be up to wedge status? Donít make me laugh. Once again, mom nature taught me a lesson.\nSome may say, \"Well at least you chased that day\". True, but I wasnít really serious about it. Low level wind fields were weak and any storm that moved east or northeast would have very low storm relative helicities. With all the instability around I figured lots of storms would develop. The slow moving front passed Dallas that morning and I headed southeast around 11am to keep ahead of it. A line of towering cumulus became visible as I headed southeast of downtown. I stopped and set up my satellite dish and watched The Weather Channel. The first tornado watch box was issued for northeast Texas. The box was placed south and parallel to a pseudo-warm front and extended from Dallas to near Shreveport. I was in the western part of this box in what seemed like the perfect place. At 12:30pm, the radar on The Weather Channel only showed two isolated storms developing near Longview, Texas. These \"diversion\" storms held my interest for awhile and I continued to monitor them with the false assumption that anything which developed further southwest (i.e. near Waco) would head my way! Hearing that a tornadic storm somehow popped up between Waco and Temple, I headed west only to find Interstate 20 closed due to a major traffic accident. All traffic was at a standstill for about one hour. By the time I got back to Dallas and headed south on I-35, the storm was passed Belton heading southwestward for Jarrell. It wasnít long before I heard that I-35 was closed at Salado because a highly visible tornado just off the interstate. Need I say I missed the show.\nI have studied tornado outbreak days for more than twenty years. I have seen many \"traditional\" tornado days with the classic (textbook type) Colorado low and dryline. There also have been many \"unique\" tornado days (i.e. Plainfield, IL, Jarrell, TX). Over the years, I find myself becoming less confident in my forecasts. This is because more and more \"unique\" tornado situations are being added to my data base each year. Soon, I will have more \"unique\" events than \"traditional\" events. The end result seems to be chaos!! Given this scenario, I see two possibilities for chasing: 1) chase everything on any risk day (which I canít possibly do) or 2) try to pick and choose the best chase days knowing that Iíll miss them most of the time.

DISCUSSIONS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT JARRELL, TEXAS\nRich Thompson (firstname.lastname@example.org) writes: \"Jarrell's been discussed quite a bit in the past few months, but not many people have tried to explain why that storm managed to produce multiple, significant tornadoes in that environment. Here's what I've noticed about this event:\n1) Vertical shear - 12z soundings from FWD (Fort Worth) and DRT (Del Rio), as well as area vertical wind profiles did not suggest a supercell shear profile (weak Bulk Richardson Number Shear, weak storm relative helicity). The local vertical wind profiles looked pretty sad even near the time of the event...though the profile probably varied more in close to the storms.\n2) Temperature/moisture profile - exceptional CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) in the 12z soundings (near 5000 J/kg unmodified), with a classic \"loaded gun\" profile. Boundary layer dewpoints ranged from 74-78 degrees Fahrenheit.\n3) Mesoscale boundaries - A north-northeast/south-southwest oriented surface boundary (weak quasi-stationary front?) across central Texas. This boundary was well-defined in surface observations and visible satellite imagery as a narrow line of cumulus. Visible imagery also suggested a gravity wave (from collapsing storms over Arkansas/Mississippi originated in Oklahoma the night before) propagating southwestward and \"intersecting\" the surface boundary near where the Jarrell storm complex initiated.\n4) Event evolution - It's my best guess that the Jarrell storm(s) did not originate as supercells, certainly not in the classic sense. Perhaps the enhanced baroclinic (horizontal) and vertical vorticity (cyclonic horizontal shear) along the surface boundary provided a source for storm scale rotation through tilting/stretching. Once rotation was established (from the bottom upward to the mid-levels), then supercell processes may have become relevant. The observed CELL motion was very slow to the south (not to be confused with mesoscale convective system motion which was south-southwest at 20-25 knots), so storm-relative flow through the troposphere would have been optimized.\nPerhaps the real importance of the storm-relative winds was to keep the new updrafts removed from developing rain cores such that the storm was not undercut by outflow prematurely from the north or northeast. I still don't think you can apply a classic conceptual model to this case, because storm motion didn't result from continuous propagation as with most long-lived, violent-hose-producing supercells (i.e., it was not just a single storm). It seems to me that any pressure perturbation effects would have helped the storm move more south-southeast (off the boundary), while the gravity wave phase speed seemed to agree well with storm motion and may have played an important role in keeping the storms on the surface boundary.\nFrom eyewitness accounts, pictures and video, it is not clear that the storm or individual tornadoes displayed supercell characteristics PRIOR to tornadogenesis (e.g., lowered, rotating wall cloud, clear slot, etc.). The tornadoes had some \"landspout\" characteristics and appeared to originate from flat updraft bases with no apparent RFD (rear flank downdraft) or precipitation nearby. Since I'm not aware of any 7000 CAPE Denver Cyclone cases, who's to say that these tornadoes weren't largely non-supercellular given the outrageous contribution from vertical stretching? I suppose it's possible that there were some mixed supercell/non-supercell processes going on, which might explain the bizarre evolution of the Jarrell tornado from what looked like a stationary, strong (maybe) landspout to a suddenly south moving multi-vortex tornado more characteristic of high-end supercells. I hope this storm doesn't become another \"Plainfield\" where everyone and his dog tries to force this event neatly into the same part of the spectrum as, say, the Red Rock/Andover supercells (the Plainfield event brought about an endless search for large storm relative helicity values, since storm relative helicity was thought to be the main player by many people at the time).\"\nErik Rasmussen (email@example.com) says: \"I had the privilege two weeks ago to give a talk at a conference of National Weather Service forecasters in Dodge City, Kansas, and to COMAP in Boulder. Here are some of the ideas from that talk and other recent discussions regarding what is and is not a supercell and a supercell tornado. First, let me say this: we need to start thinking in terms of the physical processes, and move away from semantics. I think this is true in all areas of severe storms... from spotting and chasing to research. For the sake of discussion, let's define two types of tornadoes: 1. Landspout... the rotation is supplied by concentration (convergence/stretching) of pre-existing vertical vorticity ONLY, and 2. Non-landspout... the rotation is supplied through tilting or downward transport of vorticity, implying nearby-downdrafts are fundamentally important. The landspout tornado requires an updraft to move over a pre-existing meso-circulation in the boundary layer. Not much is required of this updraft except that it be strong enough, and persist long enough, to do the convergence/stretching thing.\nThe non-landspout tornado requires a bit more. It requires pre-existing rotation aloft, at SOME scale larger than a tornado (as Gene Moore pointed out... this spans a big range of observed circulationís in real storms). It does NOT require the rotation to be pre-existing for a certain period of time; rather, at some moment it exists and is available to be moved to the boundary layer via tilting or downward advection. Further, it requires a downdraft near the initial circulation to do the tilting and/or downward transport. It requires an updraft that is strong enough, and persistent enough, to then concentrate the vorticity that has been brought to the lowest levels into a tornado, and maintain that tornado for a certain period of time. In general, I think it's becoming apparent that this process requires that the updraft not be a single pulse that then gets loaded with precip and collapses; i.e., a certain amount of storm-relative upper flow (a.k.a. deep shear) is required.\nDoes the non-landspout require a mid-level meso? No. Does it require persistent rotation for 45 minutes? 30 minutes? 20 minutes? No. It requires a source of vorticity to initiate a larger-than-tornado circulation in the lowest few kilometers; a downdraft; and an updraft associated with the circulation that can persist long enough to form and maintain the tornado. All of the foregoing is laced with my opinions, but they are informed opinions (in my opinion !), and are the subject of several investigations and articles. To me, growing understanding of the non-landspout tornado (a.k.a. supercell tornado) may require us to change our notions of what supercells are, or at least their importance to tornado formation. Further, I think that we almost certainly will need to change our operational, chase, and spotter perceptions of what is and isn't important in the tornado formation process. Essentially, any strong low-level rotation in an environment locally supportive of supercells should be viewed as potentially tornadic. On the other hand, in my opinion (!), the presence of a persistent or even long-lived mid-level mesocyclone is not of much significance to the tornado formation problem. My point in the earlier Jarrell post was that, owing to enough storm-relative UT flow in that storm, the precip and updraft were segregated, and the precipitation fell down shear, leading to a forward-flank boundary and an environment locally supportive of a tornadic supercell. This is largely speculation on my part. Many of you have looked at a lot more data. So please prove me wrong.\nRich Thompson responds: \"This entire Jarrell discussion focuses on the MECHANISM behind the Jarrell tornadic storm, and how it may have varied from the \"classic\" violent tornado producing supercell. That's not to say that Jarrell wasn't a supercell, but if the definition gets so large as to be inclusive of almost all storms that rotate (and looking at radar data nationwide MANY do rotate!), then it's of little use. From the perspective of a national forecaster, do I have to assume that a tornadic storm is possible in virtually every combination of shear and instability except for zero? The mechanisms Erik is describing seem to apply most in the run of the mill storm days where something is clearly less than ideal, thus some sort of local augmentation is necessary for tornadoes. However, by nature, these events tend to be VERY localized and affect a relatively small area. Sure, if the Jarrell storm hits a town it's devastating, but what the heck would have happened if the Kellerville/Allison storm had moved over populated areas? It seems to me that a long-lived mid-level meso gives you MORE opportunities for tornadoes, all else being equal. Also, can't the longevity of the mid-level rotation correspond to the longevity of a tornado in some cases? We know there are many environments where long-lived rotating storms fail to produce tornadoes, but many of the most important cases of violent tornado outbreaks DO consist of storms with long-lived mid-level rotation. If you're going to make the claim that mid-level mesocyclones are not terribly relevant, then I would at least like to see some evidence showing that storms with long-lived mid-level mesocyclones are in some way LESS LIKELY to produce tornadoes than other storms encountering similar local environments. Do you really believe that a long-lived supercell (even non-tornadic) that encounters an outflow boundary (just an example) is less likely to produce a significant tornado than a non-supercell storm that encounters the same conditions?\nBy the way, I've seen a summary version of the article, and the claim is that the extreme damage was a function of the open exposure and time each dwelling experienced the strongest winds. For a time period of 90-150 seconds, the engineers from Tech estimated the damage would result from winds at or below 200 mph. This estimated wind corresponds to F3. I think they may be right, and this just may be a case where Fujita's wind estimates don't account for enough factors to be practically useful.\"\nErik Rassmussen (firstname.lastname@example.org) responds to Rich Thompsons post: \"Once again, our intense focus and debate on the definition of a supercell may be somewhat unproductive. I don't have to issue watches and warnings for a living (fortunately for the public!), but I think it's still fair to say that if it rotates, it's worth some special attention. I.e., if it's a supercell by the definition of \"updraft well-correlated with rotation\", then it's probably a storm capable of producing some severe weather. I think the tornado production issue is perhaps a somewhat separate issue. I'm having a heck of a time disproving the hypothesis that local augmentation is almost always necessary. I now look back over a couple of decades of chasing and wonder if most/all of those successful chases were the result of local augmentation, and those zillions of crappie chases (on \"supercell days\") were the result of lack of augmentation. Am I crazy? Don't answer that!\nOn the brighter side, my climatology work (in agreement with a lot of good work in the past such as Jon Davies') has also shown that significant tornadoes are generally associated with a threshold combination of shear (e.g. SRH) and CAPE, so NO... as a national forecaster, I would think that not much has changed. It's just that if there's a gob'o'CAPE, and there's enough storm-relative upper flow to remove the precip from the updraft, and there's a boundary hanging around or the storm can generate one itself, then a non-landspout tornado is possible. Here, I would have to reiterate my earlier rant about a need to shift focus to the physical process of tornadogenesis, once we begin to understand it, instead of the ingredients for supercells in general. These two things are obviously not mutually exclusive, but maybe not as intimately tied as we once thought (remember when we were all told that > 50% of mesocyclones produce tornadoes?).\nI can argue the following: if there are mid-level mesocyclones, this is evidence that the environment is providing some certain threshold level of CAPE and shear (or whatever the relevant parameters are). This means that it is probably that much easier to get the local augmentation. For instance, a boundary could double the SRH locally. Or, deep shear is strong enough that storm-generated forward-flank boundaries could be effective at getting low-level rotation going. With confidence I can point you to a number of cases of NON-LANDSPOUT tornadoes in which the rotation first intensified near the ground, and then built quickly upward through the storm, followed in short order by a tornado. In these cases, I think the mid-level meso was of little significance, being a consequence of low-level processes, not the cause.\nGene Moore (email@example.com) says: \"I remember one of the most important discoveries that came out of early tornado research was the \"mid-level mesocyclone\". The fact that this circulation we were watching not only extended 25,000 feet into the storm, but it started there. What a revelation that was! Today, I fear the (radar) detection of mid-level rotation is commonly thought of as the \"beginning of a tornado\". When a radar operator sees mid-level rotation on the monitor, supercell comes to mind....does it not? In reality that mid-level mesocyclone may not be that uncommon for thunderstorms moving in a good current of (mid to upper level) westerlies. An artifact of covering the country with Doppler radarís. We now see what was always there. Mid-level rotation alone, does not make a supercell. Quite a few (isolated) thunderstorms that come off the front range contain rotation. It's probably why outflow boundaries are so important in the high country. It triggers this garden variety (high based) storm to reach below the boundary layer inversion and become a \"real supercell\". Without the connection to the low level inflow/circulation that cell is nothing more than another \"thundershower\" (its a good thing Chuck's not on this thread). Can we have a thunderstorm with a mid-level mesocyclone and not call it a supercell? That might be progress.\nIím still a fanatic on the subject of boundaries, but since the early days I have made extreme changes to my chase methods. With the exception of my old 200/300 mb rules my whole approach is different. I try to determine where the initial base of the storm will be and make my forecast for that level....that becomes my surface. I ignore what's below that. So I negate all shallow boundaries the cloud base can't \"see\". It also throws out shallow warm fronts. My favorite boundary remains the downstream outflow boundary from anvil precip. This year I had the joy of watching a cumulas-calvas (A large TCU with a small anvil, but no precip) that moved north and made contact with the forward flank downdraft of an existing cell. In fact it may be further downstream than that...I'm not sure how far the accepted FFD extends. Since that boundary is so beautifully vertical through such a tall column it really works well with an approaching updraft (from another source). Another feature that makes this boundary the best (in my estimation) is that it's hard for it to \"pulse\" like the outflow from the main convective elements of the storm. I'm talking about pulsing in both wind velocity & temperature. Since it's from the anvil the flow is smoother, more consistent. When the updraft hits that vertical wall of deep down motion a strong mesocyclone winds-up fast. Since this downdraft is not tilted with height like the storm that it originated from the mid-levels of the new updraft are forced to tilt alongside the boundary instead of over it. Sometimes this tilt increases the S-R of the new updraft. This particular case netted a couple of tornadoes.\nEd Calianese (firstname.lastname@example.org) writes: \"I'm happy to see the continued discussion of the Jarrell event - fairly extensive discussion has been occurring intermittently here in North Texas concerning this event, as it struck \"close to home\". As Lon Curtis mentioned, the storm developed in the WSFO FTW county warning area (CWA), produced several strong tornadoes with significant damage in our CWA, and later devastated several areas south of our CWA. The event stirs up interest due to its occurrence in a non-classic violent tornado setup (marginally sheared environment). While composing Storm Data for our CWA, I had the opportunity to go through the Archive IV 88D data from KGRK (Granger) several times, and discuss the event extensively with one of the individuals who saw the storm first-hand, Lon, in an effort to logically put the event together. Alan Moller and Mike Foster were also involved in some of these discussions. It was concluded that indeed most of the tornadoes that occurred were associated with a supercell thunderstorm. One tornado (a likely landspout) did developed in northern Bell County in association with a small non-rotating storm (per radar data) that formed about five miles south of the supercell. This storm was quickly \"eaten up\" by the larger complex.\nThough I agree with much of what has been stated previously regarding this \"non-classic\" event (theoretically speaking it was non-classic), I must interject the fact that the radar data was more classic than has been suggested. The storm initially formed south of KACT (Waco) and was not indicating rotation from the onset. Our first severe thunderstorm warning went out quickly after the storm developed when it still appeared to be non-severe. In fact, it had obtained a VIL (vertically integrated liquid) of only about 25 by that time (our warning forecaster warned due to his anticipation of rapid severe weather development due to the ungodly amount of instability present). Within 30 minutes, radar indicated storm-scale rotation and the first tornado warning was issued (Lon was viewing a tornado at about this time). The storm proceeded to strongly indicate supercellular characteristics on radar (very tight reflectivity gradient on the southwest flank, deep storm-scale rotation, and what I like to call a screaming eagle reflectivity appearance. I have yet to see a non-rotating storm exhibit this latter characteristic. In addition, both reflectivity and velocity data indicated the presence of a rear flank downdraft. Lastly, many of the radar indicated tornado signatures were embedded in a weaker and broader circulation. This was especially true of the actual Jarrell circulation that was embedded in a several nautical mile diameter mesocyclone and had at least 50 kt gate-to-gate shears (from KGRK) for three volume scans before Jarrell was hit (the tornado associated with this signature touched down several miles north of Jarrell).\"\nAlan Moller says: \"I see no reason to redefine \"supercells\" at the present time. It is extremely important that operational forecasters identify mid-level mesocyclonic storms (vertical vorticity of at least 10-2 sec-1 through at least 1/3 of the storm's depth, lasting for tens of minutes) as supercells - tornadoes are not the only threat from these beasts! We at Fort Worth began in 1997 to explain to advanced spotters that the \"cascade paradigm\" is not the only route (not even the most common route) for tornadogenesis, and that \"spotting\" low-level conditions under storms is of the utmost importance - especially at distances from the radar. Further, when issuing warnings I want to hear from the most knowledgeable spotters (i.e., chaser-spotters) as far as detecting low-level circulationís outside of radar range. Good chasers are the people who will understand what they are seeing. Dadgum, chasers CAN also be spotters! Lon Curtis proved that at Jarrell. Good spotters always help, but some of this stuff is rough to handle unless one has seen many storms...\nI support Ed Calienese's view (with some caution pending another look at the data), that Jarrell was a supercell. Mid-level mesocyclones/echo overhang were common, and several times small BWERs (bounded weak echo regions) were identifiable. Tornadoes generally were preceded by very strong low-level convergence along the gust front, occasionally with a low-level meso, and followed by a TVS (tornadic vortex signature) with the tornadoes. \"Landspout- like\" stretching likely figured into tornadogenesis, but the tubes would not have been so nasty without the parent supercells contributions (whatever THAT is). Granted, the \"propagation\" was a mixture of continuos/intermittent development, but (I think I recall) so were Browning's 1964 storms. Different supercells in '64 fired from individual flanking line towers associated with the first storm - with each succeeding supercell producing tornadoes. I don't have the Jarrell data at the present time, but I think someone calculated SRH's (storm relative helicities) of 100-200 m2/s2. I must admit that I would have been thinking primarily of wind/hail-filled HP storms, but knowledge of Plainfield and presence of the May 27th boundary should have keyed any forecaster with his/her salt into considering the tornado threat.\nHow many great dry line tornadic storms have we seen - away from areas of favored terrain? I'm also with Gene Moore here. If severe storms go up on boundaries ahead of the dry line, they often have better tornado potential. More examples - the 1980 Grand Island storm (thermal gradient area northeast of a sub-synoptic surface low, which was well ahead of the dry line.) The 6-13-76 Jordan Iowa event - (warm front ahead of dry line), etc. Chasers who opted for dry line were slashed by both events. When to be on the dry line?... Big dynamics, dry line bulge, pressures falling rapidly, strongly backed winds, etc.\nOn the subject of gravity waves, yes, I guess that they can initiate storms. Operationally, however, I have seen morning gravity waves, propagating through the inversion, ruin environments favorable for severe storms far more often than otherwise. These \"packets\" of gravity waves often veer low-level winds and decrease moisture convergence along boundaries. Further, how can we ever be sure that a gravity wave was necessary for storm initiation? (Granted, evidence seems pretty strong in the 5/10/85 case).\"\nGene Rhoden (email@example.com) presents some of his ideas: \"After reviewing the incredible sequence of photos taken by Lon, I must say that this event is a little more \"classic\" than what I had previously thought. Several of his photos show a tornado prior to the Prairie Dell event with what I would consider as a classic RFD (rear flank downdraft) occluding off the updraft (no doubt in my mind), even though the vortex has a cylindrical double/triple end-wall landspout \"looking\" structure. Lon's latter photos of the Prairie Dell rope show the base of the vortex holding almost stationary while the \"top\" seems to be pulled into a newly developed updraft core.\nThe vortex then appears to be stretched until it segments and the new updraft reorganizes the circulation rapidly just north-northeast of the subdivision. This looks like a type of \"hand the baton off\" possibly not completely unlike what happened with the Wichita/Andover tornado between Haysville and the Hydraulic area of town. Its simply amazing to see how the Prairie Dell \"Tight Rope\" transitioned into a maxi vortex just as it struck the subdivision (as if that was its only purpose) then rope out just south of the addition. The storm base at the time of the transition showed a rather large bowl lowering or \"pregnant appearance\" typical of rather large tornadic mesos with latter shots showing evidence of large scale RFD wrapping around the circulation as the tornado reached maximum size. I must also agree with Edís' post regarding the radar showing mesocyclonic signatures just prior to the first reported tornadoes with the storm taking on a classic \"flying eagle\" appearance. There are no storms that I know of that have had that appearance and were not classified as \"supercells\".\nI have also just reviewed the damage photos that Tim Marshall shot of the event. I must say that I was IMPRESSED! It is quite likely that with the relatively slow translation coupled with the immediate widening of the vortex over the subdivision, that extreme winds could have lasted for a couple of minutes over any one point which is evidenced by some slabs with peripheral anchor-bolts showing much caked mud on them as well as a concrete stair set in front of a former pier-and-beam house looking more like a ramp due to the amount of caked on tornado \"adobe\" mixture of hay and mud. While the time the tornado had over any given structure may have been longer than \"average\" which would have contributed to the reason why the houses were so well cleaned away, I still am quite confident that the winds in this tornado were on the order of 250 mph. I do not feel that an F-3 rating for this storm holds much merit given comparison with other storm damage surveys that I have done.\nBack to the Jarrell vortex, since nature works in a continuum of storm \"types\" without solid boundaries between our devised LP/CL/HP categories, why wouldnít there be a continuum of vortex types and for that matter of vortex development processes and combinations thereof i.e. vortex hybrids? Does all \"supercell\" tornadogenesis have to occur in the same fashion (whatever that may be) to be considered non-landspout or supercellular? Two events, the Ash Valley KS event, the first several of which most invariably were landspouts, with the \"big one\" being a \"I'm not so sure\" and the Lazbuddie II event two years ago captured in great detail photographically by NWS personnel from upstate NY show side by side transition between typical landspout processes and classic mesocyclonic processes within a short amount of time and space. These aforementioned cases and possibly others would be good initial candidates for trying speculations about vortex \"hybrids\" (if they exist).\nLon Curtis responds to Gene Rhodensí post. \"What a truly fascinating series of posts you guys are making! I've tried to stay \"on the sidelines\" in the debate over whether the Jarrell tornado produced F5 or F4 or F3 damage ... I think the ultimate resolution of the wind speed issue lies in photogrammetry, but I don't know that anyone is doing that work. With respect to the supercell or not debate, I confess that have assumed the storm was a variation between Classic and HP. After about 1800Z, I was not in a position to see the storm from a distance, I was under the updraft (except for the 1840-1900Z period when I had to cross the precip core to get back ahead of the storm). The rain-free base was huge by the time the storm was south of Belton. The separation between the RFB and precip was on the order of 3-5 miles for most of the period from 1930Z to 2045Z, except that both the Morgans Point-Lake Belton tornado and the Jarrell tornado became rain-wrapped toward the end of their cycles. One of my photos (from 0.4 miles south of the town of Jarrell, looking back north at 2032Z) shows classic supercell features (large, bowl-shaped wall cloud lowering and tail cloud extending from the precip core back toward the RFB/wall cloud), as mentioned by Gene R. I suspect that the demise of the Jarrell tornado was hastened by a fairly strong cell which developed just north and northeast of Georgetown (~12 miles S of Jarrell) as the Jarrell tornado evolved. I think this cell, which was producing +RN and hail by 2045Z, disrupted the juicy air SE of the Jarrell storm and helped cause its early demise. I think we also need to remember that the Jarrell tornado was at least the seventh tornado produced by this system, and it didn't stop producing tornadoes at Jarrell. The Cedar Park tornado was (fortunately) not as intense as either the Jarrell or the Morgans Point-Lake Belton ones, but the Lake Travis tornado was (last time I checked) credited with F4 damage.\nWilliamson County Tornadoes on May 27, 1997 by Craig A. Green, N5WEH\nThe 27th of May was to be my last day to work before my scheduled vacation which will complete the week. I had to supervise one of my stations to be installed in Austin and was halfway expecting some chance of severe weather after the Red River storms of Monday the 26th. I was surprised to find that the SPC (Storm Prediction Center) had issued a moderate risk for severe weather for central Texas and as Pamela and I packed for the Austin trip, we included our chase gear. The surface dewpoints were in the 70s with lifted indices in the -9 to -12 range for central Texas. With backing 30 to 40 knot mid-level winds from the west, sufficient shear was present for supercell development. The forcing mechanism would most likely be the weak cold front which was moving south toward the region. Additionally, the presence of weak upper troughs moving over the area would add upper air support to an already very dangerous situation!\nPamela and I drove to Austin early in the morning and kept the weather on the back burner. After lunch, the SPC issued a watch box for central Texas which included Williamson county at the extreme western end. At about 1400 local time, I logged in for some weather data on the Internet and found that some storms were beginning to fire north and NE of Austin. Having completed my mission, we started north, thinking that we could monitor NOAA radio and amateur frequencies for guidance. A quick stop at my usual place in Austin, and a quick peek at TWC (The Weather Channel) yielded two storms. One was due north of us in Bell county and the other one was in east Texas. There seemed to be no particular concern for the Bell county storm at about 1500 when we watched TWC, so I decided to head north and decide later, which is often the case.\nAs we drove North on I-35, we began to hear reports of a tornado in Bell county on the 145.15 machine and decided on the north storm. As we passed the Georgetown exits, Many Texas Department of Safety marked units (Black and Whites) passed us at over 90 MPH. We could see a dark lowering to the north over I 35 about five or six miles away and as we reached the 269 mile marker at 1535, traffic stopped on the Interstate due to DPS roadblocks. Pamela began videotaping the Jarrell tornado which was now visible about five miles up the road. Not wanting to get trapped on I-35 with what was apparently a large wedge tornado headed south towards us, I drove through the grass on the right side of the roadway to get on the northbound access road. We had escape routes to the east and south, so we drove up to a DPS road block at a crossover near the 270 mile marker. I was just about to explain our spotting/chasing posture to the officer when, directly across the highway, in a plowed field next to the southbound service road, large dust whirls began lifting and swirling off the ground at 1540. About 200 yards away a tornado was spinning up on the west side of I 35! The DPS officer glanced at he weak tornado, uttered an expletive as he entered his vehicle, and sped away southbound from his post. This of course eliminated the problem of explaining our actions, but presented another more immediate issue requiring resolution.\nWe continued up the northbound access road taping the dust tube tornado with a second eye on the big wedge bearing down on us. About 100 yards up the access road a county road slanted off to the ENE and we drove down about 1/4 of a mile out of harms way. We jumped out of the chase truck at 1542 and began our documentation of events. The dust tube was still grinding away to our WSW and I nervously glanced north. No sign of the wedge because a rain area was in the way. Back to our NE was the big rain core with what was most likely gorilla hail. We continued taping and clicking away until Pamela said Its Time To Move CRAIG!. We jumped back into the truck and sped to a 90 degree turn to the south-southeast and after about 1/2 a mile we stopped. Above us, back to the west was the parent cloud of the dust tube which had now narrowed to a skinny rope with a condensation funnel curving away 45 degree from the cloud base, extending halfway to the ground. Debris could still be seen moving on the ground below the tip of the funnel. Looking back to the SW, a new mesocyclone was forming with a growing, rotating lowering. Looking toward the NW, an immense RFD notch was visible which now extended almost to the new lowering.\nAs we continued taping, with the rain and hail bearing down on us, a large cylindrical tornado became visible from behind the rain area at the right edge of the RFD notch. The radial motion of the dying Jerrall wedge was astounding; somewhat like a white barber pole sped up ten times. The cylinder bent into an elephant trunk and as we continued our observations, a speeding utility vehicle with flashing grille lights was approaching from the NW. The emerging public servant advised us that golf ball size hail was approaching. Pamela perceived his arrival as a portent to move, so we headed down the road to a right turn back to the northbound access road of I 35. We tried to hide under a bridge crossing at mile marker 269 but the DPS officer offered to lodge me at the county caboose if I entered the on ramp. We settled for the crowded underpass at the 268 marker and found fortune with a spot on the wrong side of the road. After a ten minute stay of heavy golf balls, we were evicted by a deputy into 1/2 inch soft hail. Not wanting to join the circus in Austin with the Cedar Park tornado which we heard on the 146.94 Travis County ARES net, we departed North at about 1615.\nCENTRAL TEXAS TORNADOES: MAY 27, 1997 by Lon Curtis\nI started the day around 6:30 am with the usual review of model output from 00Z the night before, early morning forecast discussions from Texas offices, and the morning severe weather outlook. The SPC (storms prediction center) had issued a moderate risk for portions of eastern Texas, southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana, but the western edge of the moderate risk extended west into central Texas near Austin and Waco. The forecast soundings for the afternoon looked very unstable and when I ran the 09Z RUC output valid at 21Z through PC-GRIDDS, the results looked promising for deep, intense convection, but forecast winds, both surface and aloft, looked pretty weak. Instability was forecast to be extreme, with CAPES (convective available potential energies) of 4000+ j/kg and LIs (lifted indices) of -10C in central Texas by forecast time.\nMy 11Z hand-analysis of surface data placed a weak surface low on a dying cold front right at Dallas, with a trough extending southwest to near Del Rio. An outflow boundary from overnight convection in eastern Oklahoma and northeastern Texas had pushed across east Texas and was draped from Fort Polk to Conroe to College Station to the low near Dallas. Ahead of the front, surface winds were light southeasterly except in areas impacted by the outflow boundary. North of the front, winds were northerly with some evidence of a secondary front across central Oklahoma. The most striking feature on the map was an area with dewpoint temperatures 75 degrees F or better which was to the right of a Del Rio-Junction-Waco-Palacios line.\nI put on my work clothes (suit, dress shirt, tie, etc.) and went to the office. During the morning, I watched the situation evolve via internet sites. The first significant data to arrive was the 12Z soundings, which I obtained from RAP-UCAR. Del Rio was showing CAPE near 4700 j/kg and LI=-12 C (at 7am CDT!!!) while Fort Worth was CAPE near 3000 j/kg and LI almost -10 C. (I didn't look at Corpus Christi but have been told it was almost 8000 j/kg). Such extreme instability before daytime heating took effect foretold incredible instability for the afternoon hours. The 15Z SPC update of the SWO (severe weather outlook) continued a moderate risk of severe storms for portions of central Texas eastward, but noted that the relatively weak wind fields would mean that the primary threat was hail and damaging winds, with only a chance for an isolated tornado. Experience and many hours of reading research papers from AMS conference preprints told me to watch for evidence of storm deviating in the extreme from the hodograph, which suggested storm motions of ~300 degrees at 12 knots.\nMy 15Z hand-analysis placed the surface low nearer to Waco than Dallas, suggesting that it had drifted southwestward. The outflow boundary to the east was still visible on satellite imagery, as was the trough-cold front to the west. The cooler air east of the outflow boundary appeared to protrude westward to near Corsicana, northeast of Waco, creating something resembling a triple-point at Waco. I left at 11:30am for lunch so I could drop-off film shot in south central Oklahoma Sunday for processing (two tornadoes near Duncan Sunday afternoon), telling the secretary I'd be back by 1:00pm. Lunch was from Chick-Fil-A in Temple and a large cumulus tower to the north grabbed my attention and sent me home for a quick look at data. I ate the sandwich as I drove.\nThe ~12:40 SRM products off of KGRK and KFWS (thanks, Freese-Notis!) both indicated strong shear suggestive of a developing mesocylcone in the storm I'd seen visually, now located in southern McLennan County. A quick look at a local television radar showed the storm was developing a reflectivity pendant on the WNW side. I put the SRMs and the pendant each together and went to put on my jeans and then headed for McLennan County. The chase was \"on\"! Come on along! (All times are CDT.)\nAbout 1:00pm I left my house in far western Temple and traveled north on SH317 to Moody. I called the office to report I'd be a little late getting back. A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for the McLennan Co. storm at 12:50pm (\"rapidly developing thunderstorm near Woodway\"). Passing Moody, I heard the DPS dispatcher at Waco asking a trooper to check the \"back side\" of that cell near Woodway. I took FM2113, which took me right into the rear of the storm. The sky darkened. FM2113 passed through farm and ranch land broken by several small streams, and about 5 miles northeast of Moody, I came up out of a valley and around a curve and there, a mile or two in front of me, was tornado #1. After several photographs and a chance to observe the very slow motion of the storm, I crept up toward it. Additional photos are shot from ~1/2 mile away. The tornado was undercut by outflow and died. I went down Mackey Ranch Rd to see if help was needed; a mobile home was blown-away but no one was hurt. This tornado moved from ENE to WSW over a distance I would estimate to be a couple of miles. Path width was probably 75 yards or less. Reports were made to NWSFO/FTW when the tornado was spotted and when it dissipated.\nAt this point, I made one of only two mistakes in the afternoon chase which is about to evolve. Hearing a tornado warning being issued for Falls County, southeast of my location, I continued on to Hewitt and then south on IH35 toward Eddy and Falls Co. In the process, I almost missed seeing tornado #2. Approaching Eddy, it was obvious that to get back south of the storm, I'd have to punch the core, because the storm was not moving southeast, it was going almost due south. Most motorists had abandoned the Interstate as I barreled south at the speed limit or better with golf ball hail everywhere and smaller hail beginning to cover the highway. (Perhaps that explains why I've never worried about repainting the chase truck where the hood is peeling and rusting!)\nThe scanner was absolutely full of spotter and law enforcement reports of a new tornado between Moody and Troy. Passing through Troy, I took FM1237 back west toward Pendleton and SH317. Topping a hill near Pendleton, I could see tornado #2 off to the northwest. I watch for several minutes as until it became rain-wrapped and disappeared. I'm low on gasoline and I radioed the Belton Fire Dept. to watch the area near Moffat and Morgans Point for new development (southwest of the last tornado) as I stop for fuel near SH317 and SH36 just west of Temple.\nI headed on south on SH317 and while crossing from Temple into Belton, hear that a new tornado (#3) is on the ground at Morgans Point. I turn west of FM439 and from the south side of Belton Dam, shoot several photos of the large tornado that is roughly 3 miles away. I declined to cross the dam and approach the tornado for fear that a traffic accident or sightseers will obstruct my only path of escape. Instead, I repositioned to US190 at FM1670, west of Belton, in time to see that #3 is rain-wrapped. I shoot one photo with aid of a telephoto lens as it emerged from the rain and ropes-out. I radioed to the Fire Department that we will need to watch the Lake Stillhouse area for new development, and I head for Stillhouse Hollow Dam on FM1670. While crossing the dam, I glanced left and see a funnel cloud extending earthward; looking down into the valley east of the dam, I see that there was a condensation funnel forming and debris flying; tornado #4 is developing, but soon dissipated. I continued on south on FM1670, and radioed the Belton Fire Department to notify the Salado Fire Department to be particularly alert; I expected the next threat to be from near Youngsport (west of Salado on FM2484) to Salado itself.\nI passed through Salado southbound on the IH35 west side frontage road. On a hill south of Salado at the FM2268 overpass (one of my favorite 'spotting' locations), I saw a funnel cloud to me southwest. I continued south on the frontage road and about MP282 on the Interstate, just south of a rest area, stop to watch tornado #5, a thin rope-like tornado as it wandered around in a pasture about 3/4-mile away. After several minutes of observing little movement other than 'wandering', I moved-up on the tornado, eventually closing to ~0.3 mile, documenting with more photos. I realize maybe I'm getting a little bold, and retreated to the Exit 280 overpass and make several more photos, as the pencil-like tornado suddenly begins to move southward and accelerates. I take the east side service road southbound and turn my back to the tornado for about 2 minutes. Halfway to Jarrell, I stop for another quick series of photos. I am amazed ... my \"pencil\" is now a multi-vortex tornado and growing rapidly in size. (Later surveys and interviews with residents show that the \"pencil' likely dissipated as the multi-vortex tornado formed (tornado #6).\nI rush southward to Jarrell (another 2 miles or less) and notice that what looks to be most of the residents are outside watching the tornado grow and move toward their city. Just prior to observing this fact, I radioed the Belton Fire Department to have them notify the Jarrell Fire Department that a large tornado is approaching from the north. I stayed with the east side frontage road through Jarrell and take a position 0.4 mile south of the center of town. (Time 3:30pm) I begin to photograph the tornado again, now a large cone which becomes a wedge, and continue to do so until debris falling from the storm make my position untenable.\nTurning to \"flee\" (the chaser is beginning to feel like the chased), I am confronted with the sight of another tornado (#7) on the ground about 3 miles to my southwest. My last view of the Jarrell wedge was as it becomes rain-wrapped. Subsequent survey led me to believe that it was entering the Double Creek subdivision at that time. I moved south on the frontage road and about 3 miles south of Jarrell, stop to 'shoot' the large tornado as it emerged from the rain and slowly begins to rope-out. (#7 turns out to be thankfully brief.)\nI now began to get south of the parent thunderstorm, which had overtaken me near Jarrell, so that I can stay ahead of it. As I turn northwest on SH195 north of Georgetown, Bruce Haynie called from Austin (it is 3:55pm, give or take a minute) and wanted to know where I was and where he should go. I tell him to head northwest, out US183, toward Cedar Park and Liberty Hill. Bruce gets out in time to catch the next tornado at Cedar Park, but I'll let him tell that story himself. I continue to Cedar Park, hoping perhaps to get on the west side of the storm again, but to no avail. The traffic jam caused by the tornado there and the hail and rain put an end to my chase at roughly 4:30pm.

Here, we focus on the semi-arid boundary layer where the entrainment process is analyzed using aircraft observations collected during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis experiment and large-eddy simulations. The role of the entrainment is specifically enhanced in this region where very large gradients at the planetary boundary-layer top can be found due to the presence of the moist, cold monsoon flow on which the dry, warm Harmattan flow is superimposed. A first large-eddy simulation is designed based on aircraft observations of 5 June 2006 during the transition period between dry conditions and the active monsoon phase. The simulation reproduces the boundary-layer development and dynamics observed on this day. From this specific case, sensitivity tests are carried out to cover a range of conditions observed during seven other flights made in the same transition period in order to describe the entrainment processes in detail. The combination of large-eddy simulations and observations allows us to test the parametrization of entrainment in a mixed-layer model with zero-order and first-order approximations for the entrainment zone.

The 2012 annual temperature was 1.0°F warmer than the previous record warm year of 1998. Since 1895, the CONUS has observed a long-term temperature increase of about 0.13°F per decade. Precipitation averaged across the CONUS in 2012 was 26.57 inches, which is 2.57 inches below the 20th century average. Precipitation totals in 2012 ranked as the 15th driest year on record. Over the 118-year period of record, precipitation across the CONUS has increased at a rate of about 0.16 inch per decade.\n2012 was a year of both temperature and precipitation extremes\nOn a statewide and seasonal level, 2012 was a year of both temperature and precipitation extremes for the United States. Each state in the CONUS had annual temperatures which were above average. Nineteen states, stretching from Utah to Massachusetts, had annual temperatures which were record warm. An additional 26 states had one of their 10 warmest years. Only Georgia (11th warmest year), Oregon (12th warmest), and Washington (30th warmest) had annual temperatures that were not among the ten warmest in their respective period of records. A list of the annual temperatures for each of the lower-48 states is available here. Numerous cities and towns were also record warm during 2012 and a select list of those locations is available here. Each state in the CONUS, except Washington, had at least one location experience its warmest year on record. One notable warmest year record occurred in Central Park, in New York City, which has a period of record dating back 136 years.\nMuch of the Continental US was drier\nMuch of the CONUS was drier than average for the year. Below-average precipitation totals stretched from the Intermountain West, through the Great Plains, into the Midwest and Southeast. Nebraska and Wyoming were both record dry in 2012. Nebraska's annual precipitation total of 13.04 inches was 9.78 inches below average, and Wyoming's annual precipitation total of 8.08 inches was 5.09 inches below average. New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Georgia, and Delaware had a top ten dry year. The large area of dry conditions in 2012 resulted in a very large footprint of drought conditions, which peaked in July with about 61 percent of the CONUS in moderate-to-exceptional drought, according to the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). The footprint of drought during 2012 roughly equaled the drought of the 1950s which peaked at approximately 60 percent. Wetter-than-average conditions were present for the Northwest, where Washington had its fifth wettest year on record. Washington's statewide precipitation total of 47.24 inches was 10.40 inches above average. Wetter-than-average conditions were also present across parts of the Gulf Coast and Northeast.\nSeasonal highlights in 2012 include the fourth warmest winter (December 2011-February 2012), with warmer-than-average conditions across a large portion of the country. The largest temperature departures from average were across the Northern Plains, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. Winter was drier than average for the East and West coasts, while the Southern Plains were wetter than average improving drought conditions across New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The warmer and drier than average conditions resulted in the third smallest winter snow cover extent on record for the contiguous United States. Spring (March-May) was record warm for the country, with 34 states being record warm for the period.\nThe season consisted of the warmest March, fourth warmest April, and second warmest May on record. Spring precipitation was near-average for the lower-48, with the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest being wetter than average, while the Central Rockies and Ohio Valley were drier than average. The summer (June-August) continued the warmer-than-average trend for the contiguous U.S. with national temperatures ranking as the second warmest on record. The summer average temperature for 2012 was very close to the warmest summer (2011) and the third warmest summer (1936), with only 0.1°F separating the three.\nThe summer season consisted of the eighth warmest June, record warmest July, and 13th warmest August. Drier-than-average conditions were anchored in the central U.S. with record breaking wildfires and a drought footprint comparable to the drought episodes of the 1950s causing large-scale agriculture problems in the Midwest, Plains, and Mountain West. Autumn (September-November) temperatures were closer to average compared to the preceding three seasons, but still ranked as the 22nd warmest autumn on record. Warmer-than-average conditions were present for the West, while cooler-than-average conditions were present for the Eastern Seaboard.

If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. In California, wildfires now rage year-round, destroying thousands of homes. Across the US, “500-year” storms pummel communities month after month, and floods displace tens of millions annually. This is only a preview of the changes to come. And they are coming fast. Without a revolution in how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth could become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century.

In particular, atmospheric aerosol particles significantly impact air pollution, human health, and the global climate. However, due to the chemical complexity of aerosol particles and associated reactivity and physical properties, a comprehensive understanding of the transformation and overall impacts of atmospheric particles still needs improvement. In this talk, I will discuss the important sources and atmospheric processes that affect aerosol particle chemical composition from field measurements and laboratory studies. I will also discuss our recent mass spectrometry technique development on the “Magic” ionization, which does not use an external ionization source for the real-time surface molecular characterization of sub-micron organic particles on the fly and the detection of the labile organic peroxides, which has been problematic to detect for decades.

These electron beams generate Langmuir waves in the background plasma, producing type III radio bursts that are the brightest radio sources in the sky (Suzuki and Dulk, 1985). These solar radio bursts also provide a unique opportunity to understand particle acceleration and transport, which is important for our prediction of extreme space weather events near the Earth. However, the formation and motion of type III fine frequency structures (see Figure 1) is a puzzle, but is commonly believed to be related to plasma turbulence in the solar corona and solar wind.\nA recent work by Reid and Kontar combines a theoretical framework with kinetic simulations and high-resolution radio type III observations using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and quantitatively demonstrates that the fine structures are caused by the moving intense clumps of Langmuir waves in a turbulent medium. These results show how type III fine structure can be used to remotely analyze the intensity and spectrum of compressive density fluctuations, and can infer ambient temperatures in astrophysical plasma, both significantly expanding the current diagnostic potential of solar radio emission.\nThe radio fine structures (Figure 1) have a small drift in frequency caused by the motion of Langmuir wave clumps moving through space at their group velocity. Measuring this frequency drift (Figure 2) reveals the Langmuir wave group velocity, and subsequently the background thermal velocity. This new technique increases the scope of solar radio bursts to be used as a remote plasma temperature diagnostic. The observation infers a corresponding coronal plasma temperature around 1.1 MK. The radio fine structure also provides an additional way to estimate the electron beam bulk velocity, which is mostly controlled by the beam energy density.\nIn summary, the results create a framework for exploiting the diagnostic potential of radio burst fine structure to estimate plasma temperatures and density turbulence. This new potential is especially relevant given the enhanced resolution of new-age ground-based radio telescopes that are resolving much more fine structure originating from the solar corona. Moreover, the closer proximity of Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter to radio emission originating in the very high corona or solar wind, and hence higher sensitivity, allows fine structures to be detected in situ.\nMore information: Hamish A.

The northern coastal regions are cool and humid, with an average annual temperature of 14° C (57° F ); temperatures at Bilbao range from an average of 10° C (50° F ) in January–March to 19° C (66° F ) during July– September.\nDoes Spain have a tropical climate?\nIn the Costa Tropical (also known as Costa de Granada or Costa Granadina), the part of the Spanish southern coast belonging to the province of Granada, the climate is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers. … Here is the average rainfall in Motril.\nIs Spain cold or hot?\nMost people think of Spain as an always sunny and warm country, however this does not always apply. In summer the weather is indeed sunny and warm and even hot in the interior. However this does not apply everywhere for winter months. In large parts of Spain winter months are cold and it can even snow.\nWhat is the climate and geography of Spain?\nIn fact, Spain is the most climatically diverse country in Europe.

Realistic simulation of the Earth’s mean state climate remains a major challenge and yet it is crucial for predicting the climate system in transition. Deficiencies in models’ process representations, propagation of errors from one process to another, and associated compensating errors can often confound the interpretation and improvement of model simulations. These errors and biases can also lead to unrealistic climate projections as well as incorrect attribution of the physical mechanisms governing the past and future climate change. Here we show that a significantly improved global atmospheric simulation can be achieved by focusing on the realism of process assumptions in cloud calibration and subgrid effects using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) Atmosphere Model version 1 (EAMv1). The calibration of clouds and subgrid effects informed by our understanding of physical mechanisms leads to significant improvements in clouds and precipitation climatology, reducing common and longstanding biases across cloud regimes in the model. The improved cloud fidelity in turn reduces biases in other aspects of the system. Furthermore, even though the recalibration does not change the global mean aerosol and total anthropogenic effective radiative forcings (ERFs), the sensitivity of clouds, precipitation, and surface temperature to aerosol perturbations is significantly reduced. This suggests that it is possible to achieve improvements to the historical evolution of surface temperature over EAMv1 and that precise knowledge of global mean ERFs is not enough to constrain historical or future climate change. Cloud feedbacks are also significantly reduced in the recalibrated model, suggesting that there would be a lower climate sensitivity when running as part of the fully coupled E3SM. This study also compares results from incremental changes to cloud microphysics, turbulent mixing, deep convection, and subgrid effects to understand how assumptions in the representation of these processes affect different aspects of the simulated atmosphere as well as its response to forcings. We conclude that the spectral composition and geographical distribution of the ERFs and cloud feedback as well as the fidelity of the simulated base climate state are important for constraining the climate in the past and future.\nPo-Lun Ma et al.\nStatus: final response (author comments only)\nPo-Lun Ma et al.\nPo-Lun Ma et al.\nViewed (geographical distribution)", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Take the weather with me:\nMostly clear with temperatures steady in the mid 60s.

Models project this warming aloft to be especially strong in the tropical half of the planet (less so for a very small region around the poles). Actual observations of temperature trends in the lower atmosphere, however, don’t confirm these model results, instead showing that warming trends in general decline with altitude.\nWhy is this important? The atmosphere is an integrated whole, and temperatures aloft are an important determinant of temperatures at the surface. If the models have this wrong upstairs, but right for the area near the surface, they’ve been pretty lucky, or, some might say, pretty “adjusted.”\nThis discrepancy in models vs. observations forms the crux of one of the major arguments against over-dependence on models for projections of future climate conditions—if the models can’t accurately portray the present, they cannot be relied upon to predict the future.\nThe hypothesis that the models are still getting it wrong is strongly supported by the new results from a research effort led by David Douglass of the University of Rochester and published in a pair of articles in Geophysical Research Letters (appearing online on July 9, 2004). Two scientists involved in this effort include Paul Knappenberger and Patrick Michaels, familiar to readers of these alerts.\nIn their first paper, Douglass and colleagues compared the temperature trends from the surface upwards through the lower atmosphere as projected by three state-of-the-art climate models with several different sets of actual temperature observations made at various heights in the atmosphere. The three climate models (Hadley CM3, DOE PCM, and GISS SI2000) were each run with the historic values of a combination of natural (solar variability, volcanic eruptions) and anthropogenic (greenhouse gases, aerosols) climate forcing agents. The results for the past two decades (the period of greatest anthropogenic influences) were compared against observations made during the same time. The observations consist of sets of radiosonde data (collected from instruments attached to weather balloons as they ascend through the atmosphere) as well as temperature data collected by satellites.\nDouglass found that while the modeled and observed trends matched well at the surface, everywhere else there was considerable discrepancy with the observations, which in many cases indicated a cooling trend, where the models predicted warming to be occurring (Figure 1).\nFigure 1. Modeled (dotted lines) and observed (solid lines) temperature trends (10-3K/decade) in the lower atmosphere during two recent decades in four different regions. While the modeled and observed trends match well at the surface, in nearly every case, the modeled trends above the surface are greater than the observed trend (source: Douglas et al., 2004a).\nThis represents clear evidence that climate models are failing to capture the actual workings of the atmosphere. Since weather systems derive their characteristics (size, strength, precipitation efficiency, etc.) largely from temperature contrasts in the atmosphere, models which fail to accurately portray observed trends there also fail to accurately portray observed weather patterns. This fact applies not only to current climate patterns, but also to the model projections of future ones.\nIn their second paper, the Douglas research team investigated whether these same set of observations could shed light on the hypothesis that the satellite measurements of temperature trends in the earth’s lower atmosphere are contaminated by temperature trends higher up in the stratosphere. Recently, Fu et al. (2004) suggested in a highly publicized paper in Nature magazine that the reason that satellite temperature measurements of the lower troposphere (as compiled by researchers at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, UAH) showed only about half the warming trend as observations collected at the earth’s surface during the past 25 years, was that in formulating the trends of the lower atmosphere, the UAH researchers failed to take into account a cooling influence from the stratosphere (the atmospheric layer just above the troposphere). Fu concluded that had the stratospheric data been properly handled, the temperature trends in the lower atmosphere would match the surface (and modeled) trends much more closely. We showed, in an earlier World Climate Reprto why this argument was not valid (see http://www.co2andclimate.org/wca/2004/wca_17a.html for details). Douglass adds more proof.\nTwo completely independent temperature measuring systems are employed to monitor temperature in the troposphere—direct observations made by thermometers carried aloft by weather balloons, and indirect observations made by satellite-borne instruments that record the temperature-dependent microwave emissions from oxygen molecules. These two datasets provide the ability to crosscheck the results against one another. When the temperature trend calculations are done thoroughly and carefully (best accounting for all known data quality issues), the results are remarkably similar—the observed warming in the lower troposphere is about half of that observed at the earth’s surface. As described in Douglass’s first paper, this result runs contrary to climate model projections.\nBut, the fact that temperature trends from weather-balloon data and from satellite data match well is not new news—we have highlighted this fact for years (e.g. http://www.co2andclimate.org/wca/2004/wca_15f.html). However, no one really knows why the lower atmospheric trends are different from the trends measured at the surface, or why the observed lower atmospheric trends differ from model projections. Fu’s suggestion that it results from unaccounted for stratospheric influences isn’t physically reasonable. Douglass’ work points to other possible causes.\nDouglass’s team focused on surface temperatures derived from the balloon-based lower atmospheric observations of temperature and moisture. They then compared the derived surface temperatures with the observed surface temperatures. They found that the trends in the surface temperatures derived from the weather balloons more closely matched the satellite temperature trends than they did the observed surface temperature trends from ground-based weather stations (Figure 2).\nSince the derived surface temperatures are largely free of local effects such as urbanization, industrialization, land-use changes, and myriad other data quality issues which plague the surface measurements (see http://www.co2andclimate.org/wca/2004/wca_18c.html for more details), Douglass concluded that these non-climatic influences likely play a large role in the discrepancy between observed surface temperature trends and observed lower atmospheric temperature trends. This also means that climate models are overestimating the warming from atmospheric composition changes. These results confirm similar work that focused only on temperatures in the United States (Kalnay and Cai, 2003, see http://www.greeningearthsociety.org/wca/2003/wca_1b.html for more details)\nFigure 2. Temperature trends by 5º latitude bands (where data were available) in three different data sets—observed surface data (red circles), derived surface data (cyan circles), satellite-based lower tropospheric data (blue circles). All of these data are mostly independent from each other. Notice how the trends from the derived surface data more closely match the trends from the satellite data than from the observed surface data (source: Douglass et al., 2004b).\nTogether, the results from these two papers provide strong evidence for three important points:\n1) The discrepancy between temperature trends measured at the earth’s surface and those measured in the earth’s lower atmosphere is real.\n2) A large part of this discrepancy is likely caused by local, non-climatic influences on surface thermometers (and not by stratospheric contamination of the lower tropospheric data).\n3) Climate models including the observed changes to known climate forcing agents (both natural and anthropogenic) are unable to replicate the observed behavior of the temperatures in the lower atmosphere. Furthermore, if local, non-climatic influences are largely responsible for the surface temperature trends, then the climate models are getting the surface trends right for the wrong reasons—indicating a failure at that level as well.\nThese findings should give pause to anyone relying on climate model results to guide their actions.\nDouglass, D.H., Pearson, B.D., Singer, S.F., 2004a.

The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging mission, or DAVINCI, will be the first to explore Venus via flybys and descent.\nBy June 2031, the spacecraft should have explored Venus’s stratified atmosphere and reached the earth’s climate. Scientists have been keen to measure Venus since the early 1980s, and the DAVINCI mission will be able to acquire data on the planet.\nPioneer in 1978 and Magellan in the early 1990s were the only NASA missions to visit the second planet from our sun.\nThe DAVINCI spacecraft will act as a flying chemistry lab, measuring various aspects of Venus’ atmosphere and environment as well as taking the first descent photographs of the planet’s highlands. The instruments on board the mission will also be able to scan Venus’ surface and detect the composition of the planet’s mountainous highlands.\nAccording to NASA scientists, these features, known as “tesserae,” may be analogous to continents on Earth, implying that Venus has plate tectonics.\nIn a statement, Jim Garvin, DAVINCI principal investigator from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said, “This ensemble of chemistry, environmental, and descent imaging data will paint a picture of the layered Venus atmosphere and how it interacts with the surface in the mountains of Alpha Regio, which is twice the size of Texas.”\n“These measurements will allow us to evaluate historical aspects of the atmosphere as well as detect special rock types at the surface such as granites while also looking for tell-tale landscape features that could tell us about erosion or other formational processes,” says the researcher.\nBy detecting gases and water components in the lowest part of Venus’ atmosphere, the programme would also look at the likelihood of an ocean in the past. Venus may have been the first habitable planet in our solar system, with an ocean and climate comparable to Earth’s, but something changed it to a planet with temperatures high enough to melt lead.\nAccording to a 2019 study, Venus likely had steady temperatures and liquid water for billions of years before an event prompted profound changes on the planet. Michael Way, a physical scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Science in New York City, also coauthored a 2016 paper on Venus’s former climate and oceans.\nVenus is now a mostly dead planet, with a toxic atmosphere 90 times thicker than Earth’s and surface temperatures reaching 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius).\nDAVINCI will employ two instruments to analyse the clouds and map the highlands from orbit as it flies past Venus multiple times. It will then release a descent probe that will carry five instruments all the way to the surface.\nThe drop will take about an hour, and the probe will be protected by a thermal shield until it reaches a height of 42 miles (67 kilometres). The shield will then be discarded in order to sample and evaluate air gases.

JOHNS, Fla., Nov. 29, 2022—As the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season concludes tomorrow, it marks the seventh straight year in which at least 14 named storms formed.\nEight of the named storms became hurricanes, and two of the eight reached major hurricane (Category 3, 4, or 5) intensity. The season, which began June 1, serves as a reminder to residents living on the Gulf and East Coasts of the United States, as well as the Caribbean territories, that the dangers of high winds and floods destroying property and ending lives is real; and taking action to become more resilient is critical. Insurance is the first step toward predicting and preventing a loss.\n“As the nation’s financial first responders, insurers helped their customers recover economically from the impacts of another damaging hurricane season in 2022,” said Sean Kevelighan, CEO, Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I). “The widespread damage Florida experienced in the wake of hurricanes Ian and Nicole highlighted the importance of being financially protected from catastrophic losses and that includes having adequate levels of property insurance and flood coverage. In fact, we not only saw historic levels of flooding in coastal areas but throughout inland communities, as well.”\nThe eight hurricanes were Danielle, Earl, Fiona, Ian, Julia, Lisa, Martin, and Nicole. Fiona and Ian became major hurricanes. Hurricane Ian was the most damaging storm this season, causing devastating storm surge, high winds and flooding that led to a significant loss of life and widespread destruction throughout Florida. Ian is expected to be the one of the costliest natural disasters in the nation’s history and made landfall twice in the U.S. The first time was near Cayo Costa, Fla., on Sept. 28 as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. Two days later, on Sept. 30, Ian made landfall again near Georgetown, S.C., as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 85 miles per hour, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Hurricane Nicole made landfall on North Hutchinson Island, Fla., on Nov. 10, as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 miles per hour.\n“The biggest surprise of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was that August had no named storm activity,” said Phil Klotzbach, PhD, a research scientist in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University (CSU) and a Triple-I non-resident scholar. “This is the first time August had no named storm activity since 1997.”\nCSU’s other notable observations about the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season included:\n- Ian is tied with five other hurricanes for the fifth strongest continental U.S. landfall on record\n- Nicole was the latest calendar year hurricane to make landfall on Florida’s East Coast on record\n- There was no named storm activity between July 3 and Aug. 31\nCatastrophes and Insurance Issues\nSpotlight On: Flood Insurance\nFacts & Statistics:", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "AN ACTION plan containing a package of measures to help improve the air quality in Braunton is about to go out to public consultation.\nIt sets out North Devon Council’s ideas for tackling the pollution caused by queues of vehicles trying to get through the bottleneck in the middle of the village.\nEvery local authority has a responsibility to measure air pollution.

Note this slight downgrading is reflected in GFS, ACCESS and EC model runs. So it looks like wave-growth will cease around 600 or 700 nautical miles southwest of Bass Strait – and I think the resulting wave-decay is probably enough to cap the peak of the swell at about 8 to 10ft at Bells on Saturday morning.

Predicting how much air drag a satellite can encounter is critical to the design, cost and operation of a mission - an ESA study shows how.\nEarth's atmosphere is often portrayed as a fragile, finite, thin layer of gas blanketing the planet. However, since the number of atmospheric particles decrease exponentially with altitude, there is no real boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. Even though the density of the air at satellite level is at least a billion times lower than at sea level, the speed at which satellites move in orbit is so high they can still experience drag.\nJust like sailors and airline pilots have to account for the weather in the lower layers of the atmosphere – the troposphere and stratosphere, satellite operators have to be able to predict the weather in the upper regions of the atmosphere. Understanding air density is crucial when designing a mission, for example, air density and wind affect how much fuel is consumed and the lifetime of a satellite mission. In addition, knowing what the weather is like in space is important for planning manoeuvres, predicting re-entry and assessing the risk of collision.\nThe thermosphere starts at an altitude of around 90 km. This atmospheric layer is strongly influenced by ultraviolet radiation and charged particles originating from the Sun. It is also influenced by the magnetic and electric fields that surround Earth. The weather in the thermosphere is completely unlike that experienced on the ground. Winds can reach speeds of hundreds of metres per second and air density can vary by orders of magnitude, depending on the activity of the Sun.\nThe results of a recent study commissioned by ESA's General Studies Programme have shown that accelerometers, carried on current and future Earth observation satellites, can act as space weather observatories. These instruments measure acceleration relative to 'free fall' of an object in a near-circular orbit and can also provide valuable data to improve air density models. In contrast, ESA's gravity mission GOCE, which was launched into a very low orbit in March, has accelerometers that measure the drag the spacecraft is experiencing and ion thrusters for drag compensation.\nThe 18-month study was carried out by an international team led by the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and investigated accelerometer data from the German mission CHAMP and US-German mission GRACE. It also simulated data for ESA's Earth Explorer Swarm mission, which is due for launch in 2010. Swarm aims to improve our understanding of Earth's magnetic field including near-Earth current systems and their coupling with thermospheric density and winds.\nEelco Doornbos from the Delft University of Technology explained, \"The study involved the cooperation of European experts in upper-atmospheric physics, satellite aerodynamics, orbital mechanics, modelling and data processing. We have investigated the most accurate way possible of deriving density and wind speeds from the accelerometer data, compared the results with existing models, created improvements to these models and have made recommendations for future satellite missions.”\nHeiner Klinkrad of ESA's Space Debris Office summarised the merits of the present study, \"The modelling of aerodynamic forces requires a good knowledge of all key parameters: the total air density, the effective aerodynamic cross-section, the velocity relative to a dynamic atmosphere, and the surface-molecule interaction parameters, of which the drag coefficient is the most important. The current study uses principles that were already developed at the beginning of space flight. The current accelerometer data, however, provide drag information that is several orders of magnitude better than in those days - both in absolute magnitudes and spatial/temporal resolution. Likewise, the molecule-surface interaction and the effective aerodynamic cross-section are known much better today, so we are able to extract very reliable information on the total density and aerodynamic velocity. I believe that the current study has significantly advanced research in this area.\"\nThe results of this important study have shown that air density and wind models can be significantly improved. This can help to reduce some of the current uncertainties involved in the complex tasks of planning, developing and operating satellites in low-Earth orbit.\nFor further information please contact:\nStudy Technical Officer\nESA Mission Science Division\nTel: +31 71 5658720\nEmail: michael.kern @ esa.int\nESA General Studies Programme Manager\nTel: +33 1 5369 7623\nEmail: andres.galvez @ esa.int", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "by Scott Richter and Dr. Patrick Jones\nPeople who have lived in the Spokane area over the past few years likely noticed the air pollution caused by smoke from wildfires during summer 2021 was not as bad as most – specifically 2017 and 2020. This year, at least locally, we were spared multiple weeks of thick, yellow-brown smoke coming from fires seemingly from everywhere but the middle of the Pacific Ocean.\nDuring 2020, the combination of unprecedented fire seasons in both Oregon and California and the relatively common late summer easterly wind patterns actually sent wildfire smoke hundreds of miles east over the Pacific Ocean before turning west again and while greatly dissipated, eventually finding its way to Europe.\nAn important part of overall air quality is Particulate Matter (PM) per cubic meter. PM is defined as the solid and liquid particles found in ambient air. Spokane Trends Indicator 4.1.7 PM2.5 Concentration measures the annual average of the 24-Hour PM2.5 concentration levels based on continuous monitoring. PM2.5 measures the volume of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter.\nExposure to elevated levels of PM2.5 can lead to increased cases of respiratory illnesses and illness-related mortality. When inhaled, PM2.5 is small enough to lodge deep into the lungs, damaging delicate lung tissue. While PM2.5 can affect anybody, people especially sensitive include those with existing heart and lung diseases, as well as pregnant women, young children, and the elderly.\nSources of PM are either directly emitted or the result of chemical reactions. Directly emitted particles can come from wood fires, power plants, and industrial facilities. Additionally, farming, agricultural burns, dust from roads, construction activities, all agitated by wind, create PM. Indirectly emitted particles, or secondary particles, are typically from chemical reactions traced to naturally occurring gasses or burning fossil fuels, whether from vehicle engines or power plants.\nSo smoke is not the only source – basically all combustion creates PM, not just wildfires.\nThe Clean Air Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. §7401 et seq) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to “periodically review the standards to ensure that they provide adequate health and environmental protection, and to update those standards as necessary.”\nDuring the 1997 review, EPA reduced the fine particle standard from 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) to 12.0 where it has remained through the latest completed review in 2012. According to EPA, “An area will meet the standard if the three-year average of its annual average PM2.5 concentration (at each monitoring site in the area) is less than or equal to 12.0 µg/m3.”\nCurrently, EPA is in the process of reviewing the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The review has yet to be completed so the fine particle standard of 12.0 µg/m3 for PM2.5 remains in place.\nNAAQS create thresholds for criteria air pollutants, which in addition to PM include carbon monoxide, lead, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.\nLooking at the graph for Indicator 4.1.7, we can observe that at no point in the series does Spokane County have the lowest average. Spokane County is similar to Benton County, WA (Tri-Cities) and Ada County, ID (Boise). The comparison of Benton and Spokane Counties reveals more similarities than each have with Ada County. Ada County shows the two highest annual measurements in the period observed --11.95 during 2013 and 11.06 during 2007.\nThe highest annual average in Spokane County was 10.69 occurring during 2020, the year with the most recent annual data available. The lowest annual average in Spokane County was 5.08 during 2018.\nWildfire events causing widespread poor air quality are certainly part of this indicator, but keep in mind this is an annual average calculated by the daily averages. While these events can greatly impact us during the days or weeks they are occurring, major events decreasing air quality are the exception, not the rule. Additionally, the benchmark counties are close enough in proximity to Spokane County to have air quality diminished by the same wildfires.\nOver the 16-year span of this series, there has not been much of an increase. Looking at another indicator on Spokane Trends, 4.1.1 Air Quality Days, maybe a little contrary to thinking, but 2020 had the highest number of Good Air Days, 323, than any other year for Spokane County and overall for King and Pierce Counties.\nDuring the summer of 2021, Spokane set new records for total days over 100 degrees in a calendar year, total days over 90 degrees in a calendar year, all-time record high temperature, the hottest month on record based on the average of the daily high temperature, all while the nighttime low temperatures remained higher than normal. Unlike the global mean surface temperature, these data do not provide any real evidence of global warming. Yet indirectly, global warming increases the chance of elevated PM2.5 by way of an increasing risk of wildfires – both in rate and intensity.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "The Tropical Storm warning remained in force early Thursday as Zeta blew through the area, with “blew” being the operative word.

The two common methods that characterize solar radiation are the solar irradiance (or radiation) and solar insolation.\nSolar irradiance (symbol: E) is the radiometry term for the power of electromagnetic radiation at a surface, per unit area. \"Irradiance\" is used when the electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface. The SI units for irradiance are watts per square meter (W/m2). Solar irradiance is strongly dependent on location and local weather. Irradiance measurements consist of global and/or direct radiation measurements taken periodically throughout the day.\nSolar insolation is the total amount of solar energy received at a particular location during a specified time period, often in units of W/(m2·day). While the units of solar insolation and solar irradiance are both a power density (for solar insolation the \"hours\" in the numerator are a time measurement as is the \"day\" in the denominator), solar insolation is quite different than the solar irradiance because the solar insolation is the instantaneous solar irradiance averaged over a given time period. Solar insolation is also expressed in units of MJ/m2 per year.\nActinometer is the general name for any instrument used to measure the intensity of radiant energy, particularly that of the sun. Actinometers are classified according to the quantities that they measure:\n- A pyrheliometer measures measures the intensity of direct solar radiation. It is so designed that it measures only the radiation from the sun's disk (which has an apparent diameter of ½°) and from a narrow annulus of sky of diameter 5° around the sun's disk.\n- A pyranometer measures global radiation (the combined intensity of direct solar radiation and diffuse sky radiation). It measures solar irradiance from the solid angle 2pi onto a plane surface. When mounted horizontally facing upwards it measures global solar irradiance. If it is provided with a shade that prevents beam solar radiation from reaching the receiver, it measures diffuse solar irradiance.\n- A pyrgeometer measures the effective terrestrial radiation. It measures the atmospheric infrared radiation spectrum that extends approximately from 4.5 µm to 100 µm.\nA radiometer is an instrument designed to measure the radiated electromagnetic power. When used in solar energy applications, it is usually desirable for radiometers to respond the same to equal amounts of energy at all wavelengths over the wavelength range of the radiation to be measured. Most radiometers therefore work by using a thermopile to measure the temperature rise of a sensitive element whose receiving surface is painted dull black. Instruments for measuring solar irradiance using a photovoltaic cell as the sensitive element have a non-uniform spectral response.\nAn alternative method of measuring solar radiation, which is less accurate but also less expensive, is a sunshine recorder. Sunshine recorders measure the number of hours in the day during which the sunshine is above a certain level (typically 200 mW/cm2). Data collected in this way are used to determine the solar insolation by comparing the measured number of sunshine hours to those based on calculations and including several correction factors.\n- American Meterological Scociety, Glossary of Meterology, Accessed 11 January 2008.\n- Exell, R.

Although Delta’s exact track is still coming into focus, models suggest landfall could occur in the area just southwest of Lafayette as a Category 2 or 3 hurricane.\nThe storm’s impacts will expand far beyond where its center crosses the coast.\nA storm surge watch spans from High Island to the Alabama-Florida border and includes Lake Pontchartrain and Mobile Bay. The surge could cause as much as 11 feet of inundation along the coast of central Louisiana.\nThe storm’s region of influence is expected to grow as the storm’s wind field expands before landfall. New Orleans may escape with only low-end tropical-storm-force winds, but any shift in the track eastward could increase storm effects there.\n“NOW is the time to make sure you have a plan if you live anywhere along the northern Gulf Coast,” wrote the National Weather Service in New Orleans.\nTropical-storm-force winds could arrive along the Louisiana coastline as early as late Thursday night or Friday morning.\nThough disruptive mid-level winds weakened Delta to a Category 2 before its Mexican landfall, re-intensification is likely as it moves over the warmer waters of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The small storm has a tight, compact circulation, making it more susceptible to quick swings in intensity.\nDelta was moving off the northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, heading northwest at 17 mph, emerging over the Gulf of Mexico. The storm had weakened further crossing the Yucatán, with maximum winds advertised at 100 mph. Its central air pressure had increased significantly, a sign that it is no longer lifting and evacuating air at the upper levels as efficiently as before.\nMicrowave satellite imagery indicated that Delta’s once pinhole eye had become ragged and disheveled, a much larger eye beginning to form. That’s part of the reason the winds contained in the eyewall had decreased; much like a twirling ice skater throwing out his or her arms, a radial expansion connotes a decrease in rotational velocity, or wind speed.\nWinds of 84 mph occurred in Cancun, along with a gust to 106 mph. Puerto Morelos reported sustained winds of 54 mph and a 75-mph gust behind the center. Cozumel recorded a 64-mph wind gust.\nRe-intensification over the Gulf of Mexico\nAs Delta emerges over the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday afternoon, Delta is predicted to begin strengthening again as it encounters water temperatures between 81 and 85 degrees. The Hurricane Center projects Delta to regain Category 3 strength on Thursday, with peak winds reaching 120 mph.\nThe type of rapid intensification that occurred while Delta was over the Caribbean is less likely in the gulf, because ocean heat content — a measure of how much energy a hurricane can extract from surface ocean waters — is less. About a fifth to a quarter as much “fuel” is available, just enough for Delta to maintain its force while steadily strengthening.\nDelta will probably weaken a bit toward the coastline as it encounters slightly cooler waters over the continental shelf. At the same time, wind shear, or a change of wind speed and/or direction with height, will be increasing. That could further work against Delta.\nThat said, Delta is still forecast to make landfall in Louisiana as a dangerous Category 2 or low-end Category 3 hurricane.\nDelta will create multiple storm hazards along the northern Gulf Coast, including storm surge inundation, damaging winds, flash flooding and tornadoes.\nThe Hurricane Center is forecasting a “life-threatening” surge, or storm-driven rise in water above normally dry land at coast, over a sprawling zone from the Texas-Louisiana border to the Alabama-Florida border. The surge will be maximized just to the east of where the center crosses the coast.\nThe most probable location for landfall is somewhere along the western or central Louisiana coastline between the Calcasieu and the Atchafalaya rivers or to the southwest of Lafayette.\nThe Hurricane Center projects the greatest surge between Pecan Island and Port Fourchon, La., where waters may rise seven to 11 feet above dry land if the maximum surge coincides with high tide. But areas as far east as Mobile Bay in Alabama could see a surge of two to four feet. The storm could also push water levels up to one to three feet above normal as far west as Texas’s Galveston Bay.\nIn the area devastated by a surge of up to 17 feet during Hurricane Laura, near and just to the east of Cameron, La., the Hurricane Center projects a surge of four to seven feet.\nDestructive winds are also a concern.\nResidents between the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge and Morgan City, including those bordering Vermilion Bay, should prepare for 100-to-115-mph wind gusts near the immediate coastline. Farther inland, 85-to-95-mph gusts are likely in the Lake Arthur to Lafayette corridor.\nThe strongest winds will be found in the eyewall, or the ring of strong thunderstorms surrounding a hurricane’s eye.\nUnless the track of Delta shifts east, New Orleans will probably only see gusts in the 40-to-45-mph range, safely fringed well to the east of the core circulation.\nA widespread four to eight inches of rainfall with localized 12-inch amounts is also likely within the swath covered by Delta’s core, which right now looks to track north through central Acadiana in Louisiana. Some flash flooding is likely.\nThe slug of Delta’s rainfall will move north into the Mississippi Valley on Saturday and into the Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic by Sunday.\nAs Delta comes ashore, a few tornadoes can’t be ruled out, especially east of the center into southern Mississippi and extreme west coastal Alabama.\nDelta in historical context\nDelta will be the record 10th named storm to hit U.S. soil during the 2020 hurricane season, a year whose storms have been so numerous as to exhaust the National Hurricane Center’s conventional naming list for only the second time on record. Forecasters have turned to Greek letters for names; Delta became the strongest Greek-named storm observed Tuesday.\nBetween Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon, Delta’s peak winds catapulted 110 mph from a 35-mph tropical depression to a 145-mph Category 4. Delta’s 70-mph leap in intensity in the 24 hours between Monday morning and Tuesday morning is second fastest on record for an October hurricane in the Atlantic, trailing only Wilma in 2005. That sort of rapid intensification is expected to become more common and severe in a warming world. Rapid intensification has occurred in six Atlantic storms in 2020.\nWhen Delta was upgraded to a hurricane Monday, it became the ninth to form in the Atlantic in 2020. “Only 3 other years in the satellite era (since 1966) have produced 9 or more Atlantic hurricanes by October 5: 1995, 2004, and 2005,” tweeted Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane researcher at Colorado State University.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Strong wind, snow closing roads east of Fort Collins and affecting DIA flights\nFort Collins is now included in a winter weather advisory, though travel impacts are expected to be minimal from the storm hitting Colorado, according to the National Weather Service.\nBut if you are looking to travel in any direction from the city or travel through Denver International Airport, you better be prepared.\nThe National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for areas including Fort Collins, Greeley and Denver until 3 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13.

These stunning natural phenomena, also called iridescent clouds, form when clouds consist of water droplets that are similar in size. Through diffraction and bending of light, the clouds separate into various wavelengths and colors, resulting in an extraordinary display of color. While they’re relatively rare, the beauty of iridescent clouds is truly breathtaking.\nAstonishing Image: Gorgeous ‘Fire Rainbow’ Although these “fire rainbows” are not ablaze and have nothing to do with rainbows, they are simply breathtaking. The similarity between iridescent clouds and the colorful splendours of a rainbow is impressive. Both are created thanks to diffraction, which generates a captivating range of colors that alternate from blue to green, red, purple, and back to blue again, resulting in a remarkable, pulsating design.\nIt’s worth mentioning that even though rainbows show a range of colors, the way they are formed is not exactly the same. The process behind rainbows involves the bending of light through different mediums with varying densities like water and prisms, which results in refraction and reflection. In refraction, the light changes direction as it passes through the medium, while in reflection, the light bounces off the surface at an angle equal to its point of impact. However, diffraction scatters the light waves into a circular pattern.\nSimilar to other objects that display iridescence, such as the feathers of peacocks, the colors exhibited by iridescent clouds change based on a person’s position in relation to both the sun and the cloud. Newly formed clouds are often linked to iridescent cloud events, and the recent sighting in South Florida follows this trend. As per the Weather Channel, these clouds are known as pileus clouds and form when a thunderstorm rapidly grows and pushes air into the upper atmosphere through a layer of moisture. This process leads to the creation of a misty cloud that appears like a glittering dome atop the thunderstorm.\nIt’s important to distinguish fire rainbows from circumhorizontal arcs, which appear as stripes of color running parallel to the horizon.

A spectral analysis suggests that the variation has a periodicity with a period of about 255 days. Although cloud features are not always passive tracers, the periodical variation of the dynamical state is a robust feature. Superposed on this long-term variation of the zonal velocity, Kelvin wave-like disturbances tend to be observed in periods of relatively slow background velocity, while Rossby wave-like disturbances tend to be observed in periods of fast background velocity. Since the momentum deposition by these waves can accelerate and decelerate the mean flow, these waves may contribute to the suggested long-term oscillation.Link to publication", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Auteur : Agence Science Presse - Maxime Bilodeau\nBluer skies, less noisy cities, very rare smog episodes. The pandemic has been good for the environment. But this doesn’t mean the climate balance will be better when the year ends, the Rumour Detector reminds us.\nThe health crisis made it possible to see a historic planet-wide reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Driven by the economic slowdown, energy demand dropped dramatically after the beginning of the Great Lockdown. That’s what we read at the end of April in a report by the International Energy Agency.\nThis international agency, attached to the OECD, forecasts an 8% reduction of GHG emissions in 2020 compared to 2019. Some more conservative estimates project a decrease of around 4% to 5.5%, which would still be unprecedented.\nThe “disappearance” of these 2.6 gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere would be equivalent to the emissions levels observed in the 2000s. No event in a century has triggered such a sharp drop of GHG emissions. Not the global financial crisis of 2008 or even the Second World War.\nThe effects of this “COVID-19 break” have been felt all over the planet. At the end of April, an air quality improvement was noted in nine of the world’s great metropolises during the confinement measures. Fine particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres decreased by around 9% to 54%. The WHO estimates that 7 million people die every year due to exposure to fine particles contained in polluted air.\nIn Delhi, India, a 60% reduction was observed between March 23 and April 13. The local population rediscovered the peaks of the Himalayas, normally veiled by smog.\nIn another field, a significant decrease in noise pollution was reported in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of British Columbia, between January 1 and April 1. This finding was published in mid-May in a Canadian study in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Noise pollution was probably down due to the reduction of marine traffic. It would be beneficial for the health of sea mammals in that region.\nBut this good news should be tempered. The GHG emitted by humans over the past few decades haven’t disappeared overnight. Their stay in the atmosphere can be measured in decades, centuries and even millennia. In fact, even a clear, complete and highly unlikely stoppage of GHG emissions wouldn’t prevent climate warming from continuing. In 2010, the NASA Earth Observatory affirmed that such a scenario would still cause Planet Earth to warm by 0.6 degree Celsius by 2100.\nThe Breakthrough Institute, an American environmental research institute, maintains that GES concentrations in the atmosphere will remain practically unchanged in 2020. Before the pandemic, they were supposed to reach 414.2 parts per million (PPM), the Institute analyzes. With a 5% slowdown of GHG emissions this year, the concentrations would be only slightly lower, at 414 PPM.\nIf this slim difference occurs, it is too modest to influence the dynamics of the climate system, the Breakthrough Institute concludes. Remember that PPM concentrations haven’t stopped increasing since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Previously they were below 300 ppm. The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates and average increase of 1.84 PPM per year between 1979 and 2019.\nRead the second article of this series:\nThis historic reduction teaches us something about the efforts still required to fight the climate crisis.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Massive storm wreaks havoc in Western AustraliaChristian Fernsby ▼ | May 25, 2020\nA massive storm has wreaked havoc on the coastal areas of Western Australia, including the state capital Perth, dpa reported.\nWestern Australia Heavy rainfall hit parts of the coast\nTopics: storm australia\nThe strongest wind gust of 126 kilometers per hour was recorded at Cape Leeuwin in the state's south-west, the Bureau of Meteorology said today.

Nearly 50 deaths in the metro area were attributed to the storm (13 of them were in NYC). This unprecedented deluge was produced by the remnants of hurricane Ida pushing up against a mass of cool air. Between 5 PM and 1 AM, a little more than seven inches of rain poured down (with three inches falling between 9-10 PM).\nAlthough heavy rain had been predicted, its intensity in such a brief period of time took residents by surprise. (And although hurricane Henri, two weeks earlier, produced an inch more of rain than Ida, it fell over the course of 48 hours).\nNever before had a month started with so much rain, easily breaking the previous record amount on the first day of a month, 4.98\" on Oct. 1, 1913. The 7.13\" measured on 9/1 was the fifth greatest amount to fall on a calendar date. (Earlier this year, February began with a record amount of snow for the first day of any month, 14.8\".)\nThe rest of the month had slightly below average rainfall, but just enough to bring September's total to 10.03\". This was the most rain to fall in September since 2004, and it became the sixth rainiest September on record. It followed the fourth wettest August (10.32\"), and third wettest July (11.09\"). Never before had Central Park had three months in a row in which each month had more than ten inches of rain.\nMore than 90% of the month’s of rain was produced by two storms: 7.23” on 9/1-2 and 2.03” on 9/23-24. 0.77” fell on the other 26 days.\nLooking at temperatures, September was 1.1 degrees milder than average, and was the 26th mildest September (tied with four other years). However, it ranked 13th for mildest average low, and 55th for warmest high. 12 days in a row (Sept. 12-23) had above average temperatures, a streak of days that was four degrees above average. The rest of the month was one degree cooler than average.\nThe warmest reading was 85° (on 9/15), the same warmest reading as last September (but it had two days with that high). Also, both Septembers had seven days with highs in the 80s (the average is eleven).\nHalf of the days in September had highs between 75°-79°, which was double the average number - and the most to be in this narrow temperature range on record (second most is 13 days in Sept. 1999, 1927 and 1908). Just five days had lows cooler than 60°, eight fewer than average. Only Sept. 1971, 1930, 1908, and 1881 had fewer days (all had four).\nFinally, the month was also characterized by a narrow range in its temperature extremes. Typically, September's chilliest reading is around 50°, the hottest around 90°, but this September it ranged from 54° (on 9/29) to 85° (on 9/15).

Meteorological parameters measured during the sampling period included temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, ... wind speed and direction, UV intensity, and solar intensity.\nThe Pittsburgh Supersite Program was a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary investigation to characterize the ambient PM in the Pittsburgh region, to improve understanding the links between ambient PM and public health, and to develop new instrumentation for PM measurements. The central Supersite was located next to the Carnegie Mellon University campus near downtown Pittsburgh. Five additional sites served as Satellite sites. The measurement campaign lasted for 18 months (May 2001-October 2002). The specific objectives were to: Characterize the PM with regard to size, surface, and volume distribution; chemical composition as a function of size and on a single particle basis; temporal and spatial variability. Develop and evaluate the current and next generation atmospheric aerosol monitoring techniques including single particle measurements, continuous measurements, ultrafine aerosol measurements, improved\norganic component characterization, and others. Quantify the impact of the various sources of PM concentrations in the area including transportation, power plants, natural, etc. Combine the ambient monitoring study with the proposed indoor, health, and modeling studies to elucidate of the links between PM characteristics and their health impacts in this area.\nThe U.S. EPA Particulate Matter (PM) Supersites Program was an ambient air monitoring research program from 1999-2004 designed to provide information of value to the atmospheric sciences, and human health and exposure research communities. Eight geographically diverse projects were chosen to specifically address these EPA research priorities: (1) to characterize PM, its constituents, precursors, co-pollutants, atmospheric transport, and its source categories that affect the PM in any region; (2) to address the research questions and scientific uncertainties about PM source-receptor and exposure-health effects relationships; and (3) to compare and evaluate different methods of characterizing PM including testing new and emerging measurement methods.\nNARSTO (formerly North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone) is a public/private partnership, whose membership spans government, the utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The primary mission is to coordinate and enhance policy-relevant scientific research and assessment of tropospheric pollution behavior; activities provide input for science-based decision-making and determination of workable, efficient, and effective strategies for local and regional air-pollution management.

In Europe, too, summers are expected to become even hotter in the coming years and decades, while less and fewer rainfalls.\nA new study published in the journal Frontiers in Water shows: The continent is heading for a future of more severe to extreme droughts.\nRead more about the latest developments, background and exciting solutions in our topic special.\n“Summer drought is a highly relevant issue in Europe,” said Magdalena Mittermeier from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, one of the lead authors of the study. “We find a clear trend towards more, longer and more intense summer droughts in terms of a precipitation deficit towards the end of the century.”\nAccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), droughts are already the biggest threat to crops and livestock in all parts of the world. Worldwide, an estimated 55 million people are affected – every year.\nThe core findings of the new study can be summarised as follows: The frequency and intensity of summer droughts will increase in Europe. The differences between winter and summer precipitation will increase – precipitation amounts will increase in winter and decrease in summer.\nAnd several regions will be particularly affected by droughts – four so-called “hotspots”, as the study puts it: France, the Mediterranean, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Alps. Here, the frequency of extreme summer drought could increase by more than 50 percent.\nThe risk for Central Europe increases by 25 percent\n“Our study shows that unchecked climate change will drastically increase the risk of droughts in crisis areas,” Mittermeier said. “But even in some regions where droughts currently play a minor role, the future drought risk is expected to become severe” – such as in the Alps.\nAcross Central Europe, extreme summer droughts could become 25 percent more frequent by 2100. The duration of dry periods will also increase. Only Scandinavia is not expected to experience a significant increase in droughts for the time being.\nDroughts are divided into different categories according to their impact: meteorological, hydrological – i.e. affecting the water supply, agricultural or socio-economic droughts. Meteorological droughts are particularly important for research because they can be possible precursors of other types of drought. That means, for example: When too little rain falls, farmers have less water available. Crops dry up, which in turn results in declining income for farmers.\nThe scientists involved in the study call for better, effective climate protection to mitigate the drastic effects of global warming. “Consistent mitigation of climate change as agreed in the Paris Agreement” is of great importance, they say.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Good morning Ball State,\nMostly sunny skies will persist today with a light northern wind.

We’ll be partly cloudy. A strong upper level low will drift overhead. So I can’t rule out a stray shower or two. Then we’ll be cold and dry on Wednesday. High temps will only be in the upper 40s. We’ll be mostly sunny. Temps will rise to the 50s and then 60s Thursday into Friday. However, we’ll have some more scattered showers on Friday.\nToday is the last official day of hurricane season. We just wrapped up a record year. I was so busy with the local weather that I didn’t have time to talk about it. There is a weak tropical disturbance in the eastern Atlantic.

The formation of the committee precedes the court hearing on Delhi’s severe pollution expected to take place today.\nThe new committee expects to conduct research to identify causes behind the severe air pollution in Delhi and its surrounding areas. Its goal is to arrive at a resoultion to solve the problem. The commission’s jurisdiction over air pollution matters will oversee Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.\nThe committee will be replacing other pre-existing committees in order to streamline public participation and promote interstate cooperation according to the notification, as reported by India Today.

However, there is still the risk of such a storm hitting a populated area.\nThe overall severe weather and tornado threat area continues to press farther to the east into more densely populated regions.\nWith only a few tornadoes forecast for today and tonight, the most common outcome from the storms will be damaging straight-line wind gusts and flash flooding.\nHowever, both of these more common effects from severe thunderstorms can also claim lives and result in property loss due to anything from falling trees to rapidly rising waters.\nFriday, the risk of flash flooding from a potential trainload of drenching thunderstorms will extend from southern Quebec to West Virginia.\nThe intensity of thunderstorms reaching I-95 Friday is not set in stone.\nAt the very least, there will be locally drenching showers and thunderstorms that can lead to some travel delays and perhaps urban flooding issues.\nThe greatest risk of more serious storms and flooding seems likely north and west of a slot from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia, New York City and Providence, R.I.\nOne thing to keep in mind is the risk of severe weather increases markedly in the Northeast during late May and June. This is because the cooling and stabilizing impacts of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean are gradually lost, while storm systems approaching from the Midwest remain relatively strong.\nComments that don't add to the conversation may be automatically or manually removed by Facebook or AccuWeather.

The cold front is attached to an elongating surface low currently centered near Thackerville, OK. The surface low is being stretched southeastward as the southern extent of the cold front races east, well ahead of the low, and starts to wrap the cold air around and into the low. These processes are working to form a weak occlusion across North East Texas this evening. The surface low and its associated fronts will gradually progress southeast through the night, settling into Louisiana around daybreak.\nBehind the front . a brisk west to northwest wind has ushered in much colder temperatures to the region. Strong cold air advection combined with a tight pressure gradient is allowing the winds to gust to 30-35 mph primarily west of I-35, warranting the continuation of the Wind Advisory currently issued through noon tomorrow. This forecast still aligns with our current thinking, however, the winds might taper off closer to daybreak than mid afternoon. Any adjustments to the Wind Advisory timing will be left to the midnight crew ATTM.\nThe shallow cold front has brought a blanket of stratus to the region, which should continue through the night. Forced ascent associated with lingering PV anomalies aloft are tapping into the wrap around low level moisture, developing some light rain showers north of I-20. As the system shifts east through the night, these showers should slowly move east as well. All precip will eventually come to an end tomorrow morning as the enhanced lift also shifts east of the region, putting the area under large scale subsidence aloft. Continued northerly flow in the low levels will keep the shallow cold airmass in place through much of the day tomorrow, with lingering stratus continuing generally west of I-35.\nLONG TERM. /Issued 139 PM CST Tue Jan 28 2020/ /Thursday onward/\nAnother cool day expected on Thursday with high temperatures struggling to reach the low 50s across North Texas. Low chances for measurable precipitation on Thursday afternoon and night as a weak shortwave moves across South Texas, and any rain that does fall will be limited to only a few hundredths of an inch. A gradual warmup will occur Friday and through the weekend as a mid level ridge extends into the Southern Plains. This will allow temperatures to rise above normal into the mid to upper 60s Saturday, and low 70s Sunday and Monday driven by warm, dry southwesterly flow and a well mixed boundary layer.\nThe most uncertainty in the forecast falls on Monday due to the timing of the next strong cold front. EC and GFS deterministic guidance both have rain moving into the eastern portion of the forecast area in southwesterly flow ahead of the next cold front. However at this time, statistical ensemble guidance does not support these two deterministic scenarios, therefore no need to stray from the blended approach for temps or PoPs at this time.\nAVIATION. /NEW/ /00Z TAFs/\nA cold front has moved through all TAF sites, bringing in MVFR stratus and gusty west to northwest winds up to around 30 kts. The winds will gradually veer to become more northwesterly over the next few hours. The ceilings are generally between 1100-2000 ft AGL, however, areas of IFR ceilings are lingering along the Red River. There is a 30% chance of the IFR ceilings and very light rain showers moving into the northern fringes of D10 including the AFW/DFW/DAL terminals between 04-09Z tonight. The current TAF keeps ceilings over 1000 ft AGL, however this will have to be monitored over the next few hours.\nThe winds will gradually weaken in speed after daybreak tomorrow, lowering to less than 15 kts by the afternoon. MVFR ceilings are expected to remain in place, however, there is a 30-40% chance of becoming VFR for at least a few hours during peak heating.\nLooking ahead . the low level winds aloft are forecast to become easterly tomorrow night, bringing IFR to LIFR conditions to the region.

Pilots sometimes train to fly in these conditions with the aid of products like Fogless, which are specialized glasses that restrict outside vision, forcing the student to rely on instrument indications only.\nInstrument Meteorological Conditions VS IFR\nIt’s important not to confuse these two terms. While IMC refers to the actual weather conditions, IFR describes the rules under while the aircraft is flying. An aircraft can fly under IFR during good weather. Many commercial flights solely operate under IFR.\nInstrument Meteorological Conditions are expressed in terms of weather conditions in which factors such as visibility, cloud distance, cloud ceilings, and weather phenomena cause visual conditions to drop below the minimum required to operate by visual flight reference.\nIt is important not to confuse IMC with IFR. IFR refers to the rules and restrictions that a pilot must follow when flying in weather conditions that limit their ability to fly the plane solely with instruments.\nOn the other hand, IMC refers to the actual weather conditions present. When flying, a pilot can operate an aircraft under either instrument or visual flight rules. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established the minimum criteria for operation under either of these rules in the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) manual.\nWhat qualifies Instrument meteorological conditions?\nThe weather conditions required for flight under VFR are known as visual meteorological conditions (VMC). IMC and VMC are mutually exclusive. In fact, IMC is defined as less than the minimum specified for VMC. The boundary criteria between VMC and IMC are known as the VMC minima.\nICAO recommends the VMC minima internationally; they are defined and enforced by national regulations, which rarely significantly vary from ICAO. The typical variation is in the units of measurement as different regulatory authorities use other units of measurement in aviation.\nThe VMC minima tend to be stricter in controlled airspace, where there is increased air traffic, therefore greater visibility and cloud clearance is desirable. The degree of separation provided by air traffic control is also a factor.\nFor example, in strictly-controlled class A and B airspace, where all aircraft are provided with positive separation, the VMC minima feature visibility limits only, whereas in classes C–G airspace, where some or all aircraft are not separated from each other by air traffic control, the VMC minima also feature cloud separation criteria.\nWhat does the Instrument meteorological conditions IMC do?\nThough all private pilots receive some training to fly using only the instruments, it requires a separate license to legally fly in the clouds if you are interested in learning more about IFR training or starting the process of learning to fly.\nMost small-aircraft planes and pilots fly on good weather days by using the ground to navigate. This method of flying is called VFR, or visual flight rules. This method works great on good weather days but limits the ability to fly anytime the weather takes a turn.\nYou have noticed that airliners fly right through the clouds. All airline pilots and airliners fly into clouds and have powerful flight instruments to help fly in the absolute worst weather imaginable. Flying in such conditions requires operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).\nPilots can even land only by using the instruments and autopilot. That means they can land without ever seeing the runway. Autoland requires special training and certification for the pilots and the airplane.\nUse of flight instruments under VMC\nIMC should not be confused with IFR (instrument flight rules) – IMC describes the actual weather conditions, while IFR describes the rules under which the aircraft is flying.\nAircraft can (and often do) fly IFR in clear weather, for operational reasons, or when flying in airspace where flight under VFR is not permitted. Indeed, by far the majority of commercial flights are operated solely under IFR.\nIt is possible to be flying under VFR in conditions that are legally considered VMC but still, be forced to rely on flight instruments for attitude control because there is no distinct external horizon.\nFor example, at night over water, which may create a so-called black hole effect if the sky and ground are equally dark, or when lights on the water cannot be distinguished from stars in the sky.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Today temperatures will be rising into the mid to high 60s for most of the state with westerly and southwesterly winds of 10 to 15 mph throughout the state.

I showed the advantages and limitations in mapping CO2 emission areas from space for different type of sources and I got many useful feedbacks. I used measurements from OCO-2 (Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2), flying on Nasa’s satellite since 2014. No satellite instrument so far has provided such dense and accurate CO2 observations as OCO-2 all over the globe. This opens new exciting opportunities for monitoring the anthropogenic contribution of the atmospheric CO2 concentrations.\nWe learned also many new things.

Agriculture is yet another area that will certainly be seriously influenced by climatic modifications. Farming difficulties could become much more extreme. Today it ares most likely that a farmer will deal with droughts, floods, heat waves, and typhoons. These types of weather condition events that are so distressing for farming will certainly be less unusual.\nDue to global warming, temperature in the evening and the winter season will certainly increase. Increased rainfall, the water will certainly evaporate more quickly from the ground, consequently some locations will become dry from the previous. Typhoon storms take place more frequently.\nIn regions that are already warm, global warming will trigger the plants to suffer in the heat. Soil evaporation rates will be really high, leaving parched earth and burned plants. Typically rain will certainly come down hard when it does come, leading to higher than normal soil erosion.\nSome researches reveal that the news of global warming is not all bad for farming, a minimum of not in the short run.\nAn increase in temperature has some short-term benefits. For a while, it will just indicate more time for crops to develop because of a longer growing period. Once rather cool, this is especially true of regions where the spring and fall were.\nOddly enough, all the additional carbon dioxide in the air also has a fertilizing effect on crops. This sort of fertilization is most handy for crops such as wheat, soybeans, and rice. Co2 fertilization is an advantageous spinoff of global warming. This benefit might all be in vain. When global warming pushes ground level ozone to greater stages, the carbon dioxide fertilization is voided out by tropospheric ozone. These ozone levels are affected by both emissions and temperature. When the temperature increases, the ground ozone levels will certainly rise too.\nThe mechanics of global warming are simple. There’s too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.\nThe overall predictions for farming in North America are neither all bad nor all good. Crops are expected to gain from the impacts of global warming in lots of regions for a brief time frame. Crops will certainly suffer in some locations due to regional variations. The Great Plains are now more susceptible to the dry spell. Canada will probably benefit from the added heat, causing farming of some crops to shift north.\nNow, and in the near future, global warming does not seem to present a serious risk for North American farmers in general. There could even be some favorable results. In the long run, nothing will be able to mitigate the damage to farming that will happen if global warming is not slowed or stopped.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "The sun is shining brightly with no clouds in view.

It is important to maximize absorption, particularly if one is trying to save money by reducing the daily dose of Suboxone. What light source should I use for illumination? Your general analysis is spot on. Thank you Dr Junig!\nI am sure it must be possible to get a reasonable estimate of this effect without writing a GCM model and solving radiative transfer equations etc - and I will try to do it. That said - the effect is generally agreed to be around 1 degree maximum.\nThe alarmists however have tuned the models to include scary feedbacks to pump this up to degrees. I think the evidence is now coming in that this is a gross exaggeration.\nClearly there are vested interests in keeping the scare story going. Your statement above seems to imply that the ppm of CO2 emitting and absorbing photons in the top atmospheric layer represents some sort of gatekeeping effect. The upper atmosphere emits black body IR across a broad spectrum of wavelengths. There is no significant amount of water vapor at that altitude http: Any heat CO2 captures at or above that height would warm the surrounding air and increase the black body radiation of all of the components at that altitude, so the only net effect is a huge decrease of net emission in the CO2 absorption bands, with a corresponding increase across the remainder of the black body spectrum.\nIf there were any significant observed temperature changes at any level of the atmosphere due to CO2, it would be front page news and there would be no need for climate hysterics to massage surface station temperature data. That is not really true. At a given height the flux of IR upwards is equal to the sum of emissions from all levels below the given height including that directly from the surface, plus the emission from the given level upwards.\nThe rate of emission depends on the local temperature, and this rate for a given wavelength is determined by the Planck distribution for that temperature. This is usually called local thermodynamic equilibrium. How is the lapse rate maintained? What really happens is that radiative heating absorption from below for any given layer tends to increase the lapse rate away from the adiabatic lapse rate.\nThis then increases convection to restore the lapse rate to the stable adiabatoc rate. Eventually there are so few absorbing molecules left that the lapse rate peters out. This is essentially the tropopause. It would indeed be very interesting to compare temperature soundings from the s to those of today to see whether the tropopause has really increased in height as a result of higher CO2 concentrations!\nNitrogen and Oxygen are not magically exempt from emitting thermal radiation. ALL matter loses heat through thermal radiation. But even taking your position that only the greenhouse gases are significant sources of radiation, then my statement is still correct. The emission profile from any layer of atmosphere would be exactly the same as the aggregate absorption profile of the greenhouse gases in that layer.\nThe profile looking downward from 30, ft. On first glance, that big opaque spot around 15 um looking down from space looks worrisome. But all it is showing is that the average temperature of the CO2 visible from space is much cooler than the average temperature of most all the other gases.\nSo yes, there is heat being emitted by CO2 in the colder layers above those containing water vapor. There is too much transfer of heat to other gases and therefore other outgoing wavelengths. CO2 has been in or near total saturation from about ppm. Whereas any time you add heat you increase the water vapor in the atmosphere on a water planet. Thanks for the timely and thoughtful reply, but, I have to disagree:. Yes, I have seen this argument for increased CO2 impact before.\nI have dismissed itsas specious, but, have not worked it out in detail. It seems to display a failure to understand the basic thermodynamics of atmospheric CO2 radiations, especially with regard to the certain fact that each molecule of CO2 radiates isotropically. What gets absorbed by CO2, regardless of altitude, cannot be more gone than gone.\nI will try to work that all out and get back to you. But that is moot anyway because we can go back to my approx. I am left still wondering how arguments such as you have referenced can still be made when they amount to claiming that the differential impact of CO2 increases as the amount of CO2 increases; that 1XCO2 causes less warming than does going from 1X to 2X.\nWhat is your ref. I have seen several versions of it and would like to analyze the particular one you refer to. Even your own site, wherein I find. I am not saying that such does not exist. I am merely saying that I cannot find it, and, should it exist, I would greatly appreciate having it pointed out. Although the human contribution to outgoing CO2 flux is small why-the-co2-increase-is-man-made-part CO2 concentrations have been increasing slowly for 50 years as confirmed by measured in Maona Loa.\nAlthough there still may also be a natural increase in CO2 in the atmosphere caused by the ocean warming, most people are convinced that the main component is man. It is a cumulative effect which will eventually reverse when in years fossil fuels run out. Thereafter CO2 levels will likely fall.\nHowever all this does not mean that AGW is proved. An observed relatively minor increases in global temperatures of about 0. This is still just a theory which needs experimental evidence. There are other drivers of climate apart from CO2 and climate feedbacks are unproven and could even be negative.\nThere is no physical evidence of this at all. Simple logic based on the conservation of matter says that it is mathematically impossible. This absurd claim that somehow the atmosphere selects out fossil fuel CO2 from natural CO2 is key to the whole AGW argument and is made repeatedly.\nThe most rudimentary knowledge of physical chemistry and of statistical thermodynamics shows it to be patently absurd. You have a tank filling from two streams of water, stream A and stream B. In the tank the streams become completely mixed. Do you say, in contradiction to the 2nd Law, that somehow, in the tank's mixture of A and B, B separates from A and the tank magically accumulates water that came from B in preference to water that came from A?\nAll that matters is how long it takes to reach equilibrium again if the amount exchanged between the biosphere and the atmosphere each year increases by a small amount. Left to itself the Earth would return to an equilibrium concentration say after a massive volcanic eruption.\nAll that would happen is that vegetation and plancton would bloom in the medium term to absorb any small excess. I have read everything on the subject including Dr. If we merely double CO2 concentrations, then the added CO2 will mix within the existing atmosphere.\nIt does not seem like this added amount can make much of a difference in the point in the upper atmosphere where newly radiated infrared energy can escape? If this band did grow in height, then the argument stated would make sense? Does the air pressure at sea level change? What does make sense is that the added CO2 leads to additional thermal energy at the lower altitudes and this eventually mixes throughout the atmosphere. This energy is absorbed within lower altitude band.\nThe fact that the entire atmosphere is opaque in these bands is not relevant to the process. The lower denser air gets warmer first. I agree that what really matters is whether the effective height in the atmosphere where IR radiation escapes into space is the crucial factor.\nIt is always assumed that extra CO2 diffuses rapidly isotropically throughout the atmosphere. I also find this difficult to believe have not seen any data showing the actual increase of CO2 levels at different heights. How water reacts to forcing from CO2 is crucial to the whole debate. Does extra evaporation lead to more clouds thereby increasing albedo?\nDo more clouds produce more rain leading to lower H2O levels in the upper atmosphere? If so then H2O feedback is negative and there will be just 0. How can emissions from China be immediately observed at the South Pole. I think that the real reason for seasonal changes is the assymetry of water coverage between SH and NH. This is more likely the cause of seasonal changes and long term CO2 levels are driven by Ocean dynamics.\nClive, Thank you for reviewing these points. I am a firm believer that anthrogenic factors have given rise to much of the recent global increase in temperature. I am disappointed how virulent comments become when one asks to connect the dots on the global warming subject.\nI have been trying to understand the large attribution of the effect of CO2 on the forcing function for warming. I had to come to a similar conclusion that the widening of the absorption band for the higher concentration fell far short of the 1.\nYou struck a chord descibing the attribution as a circular argument. My inclination is that the CO2 concentration is a clear data set that shows the effect of industrialization, etc. The global temperature rise follows that rise with a reasonable correlation and the infrared absorption can plausibly describe an increase.\nMy opinion I know the expressions is that a reasonable correlation can be drawn using the global population, the global power consumption which contributes CO2 , the world cattle population, etc in place of the CO2 concentration and come up with the same conclusions. I fear the environmentmental engineering projects spending a great deal of effort and energy at carbon sequestration, etc having unintended consequences but having no effect on the temperature rise.\nI agree that the indoctrination of children that climate change is dangerous and caused by our evil lifestyle is unproductive. Clive, I truly appreciate the effort you put into deriving this. I have a very hard time accepting science which not grounded in classical or in this case, quantum physics. I look forward to following your additional insights into other physical explanations of climate complexities.\nI have agraph which plots temperature increments against increments of CO2 in ppm starting at 20ppm and goes to ppm with the temperature increments declining exponentially.\nWhich means only the first 20ppm of CO2 has a significant affect. I calculated the temperature response to CO2 levels using radiative transfer. I got following result:. Anthony Watts has a version of this bar chart on his page, Jo Nova on hers. Clive provides the data in the more conventional format.\nFrom simply the concentration of CO2, it is an easy point to make that the atmosphere is optically opaque to infrared at concentrations well below any historical levels. Therefore all the heat radiating from the surface of the earth is absorbed by the small amount of CO2 whether it is or or ppm. The point is then made that additional CO2 does not contribute anything to warming the atmosphere. Unfortunately, as Clive has described, the effect of CO2 on warming is a consequence of the temperature gradient in the atmosphere.\nAt the thin, outer layers of the atmosphere, the number of atoms in a given volume result in it being effectively transparent. As you go deeper into the atmosphere, the density rises to the point where it is effectively opaque at the CO2 infrared wavelengths.\nThe CO2 in the atmosphere at this level would radiate out to space and below this level it would be absorbed or reflected within the atmosphere. In the blog post referenced above, Clive describes the exact physics of the phenomenon which, in turn, can be converted into the plot of surface temperature versus concentration, below.\nThank you Clive, and thank all of you who have commented. The question is cause, effect, or co-indicator and of course subtler feedbacks. I found a Watts per Sq M number the range I found was 1.\nSurface area of the earth: Heck, for that mater let us use 10 Watts per Sq. I started wondering how does that compare to the heat energy released from hydrocarbons burning. First I just looked at total electricity production. The numbers were easy to find. The production of electricity in was 20,TWh. Electricity is not the only hydrocarbon source of heat, and atmospheric CO2 is only an averaged indication of hydrocarbon use.\nI found some graphs. The heat produced by burning hydrocarbons would be offset by the fact that more sunlight will be absorbed by plants as the CO2 goes up, and the sugar production by plants is a cooling process. In a stable planet this would be the case, however there has simultaneously been a process of deforestation and desertification going on.\nUnless we know where the has been an increase or decrease in planetry biomass it is not safe to assume that this relationship holds. I made this video that proves that catastrophic global warming will never happen, and that climate sensitivity is much lower than some claim:. I have not read all these comments, so possibly another has written what I now write here.\nNot to put too fine a point on it, but the statement that the effective radiating layer achieved by adding CO2 occurs at a higher and thus lower temperature is inconsistent with fundamental physics. The input is defined by the Sun and its distance from the Earth, the Earth simply responds. Supposedly, such detailed calculations are made routinely with every climate model, but how accurately they are made is opaque, perhaps even to the modeler, who may himself not understand the details. After all, he is likely an expert on climate, not on spectroscopy.\nReading this and dozens of others climate posts I think all can agree with W. Clive, as a science person I have some general points that I think other science people might be asking. If the answer to that is near yes, considering that all agree that additive CO2 has fast diminishing sensitivity if not already negligible, how can models be prediction more rise in the next years than we saw in the last ?\nIf scientists are really expecting water vapor positive feedback to amplify warming on what hypotheses did or climate stabilize in past inter-glacial periods at current temperature or warmer by several degrees than present, rather than run away to a Venus. Some of these periods significantly gained CO2 after their warm stabilization and nevertheless cascaded back into glaciation with high CO2 that only slowly diminished thousands of years later.\nDo you agree with any of this physics? Also, if higher temp puts more vapor in the air there will not only be more clouds but they will be more transpiration of heat, and the vapor can absorb the CO2 heat and relay it out in lower IR frequencies that are CO2 transparent. Perhaps these feedbacks and others are what has saved life from frying in the last 2 billion years. Models assume natural forcing is mostly insignificant except volcanoes, and that all net forcing since is anthropogenic.\nAmazingly these efts in the models cancel out to result in an essentially simple CO2 log forcing! Doubling CO2 and basic physics eliquidassets.\nYour analysis is very helpful. But — I want to question some specific text — and you can perhaps rewrite the sentence with other wording to help me better understand. In Argument 1, you write: I am completely lost. I assume that some part of the sentence or paragraph is missing. You are taking the effort to tell the reader not to forget some important point — but the point is lost, due to the sentence making no sense. In addition Cloud cover must depend on evaporation reducing albedo so the end result is complex and not included in models.\nWording poor I agree. I woke up one morning a few months ago and realised that assumptions about CO2 and global warming could not be right. I reasoned that CO2 makes up a tiny fraction of the atmosphere and that the atmosphere is dwarfed by the oceans, so it is not possible for CO2 to have such an enormous effect. This would represent preindustrial levels of CO2. An increase in CO2 levels to 0.\nFinding objective information about climate and atmospheric heat has proved difficult, so I am grateful to everyone in this forum for contributions. The principles of physics hold, so now I can the science my students. There is a very simple problem with your math: Our satellite measurements of the stratosphere are quite good over the past 25 years or so anyway.\nBarry, nobody is monitoring what the temp in the stratosphere is otherwise people would have known that: Pagan beliefs are for confusing people, not to inform. Here is the truth: More research on the lines of Harries Imperial College could provide a more definitive answer. Just Google Harries spectrum. I have just read an Harris article, but do not know if it is the salient one. I agree that this is the sort of physics that is important and that understanding what happens to energy in the atmosphere is the crux, but would suggest that drawing conclusions from the outgoing spectrum is flawed.\nIf I look at my bank balance, it tells me nothing about income or expenditure. Similarly analysing outgoing radiation tells me nothing about incoming radiation which we know fluctuates , or how that radiation was changed before readmittance.\nI would love to see a complete energy audit of what happens to all energy coming to the earth and emanating from geophysical processes on the earth. Energy is mutable in systems, so energy of one wavelength once absorbed is often re-emitted in another wavelength e. If anyone knows of analysis of this nature, I would love to read it. What happens instead in that basic physical model is that:.\nBut then the article goes on to explain that the temperature drop at the higher radiating altitude does not actually happen, since surface temperature increases. To summarize results of the basic model: CO2 concentration doubles through the atmosphere; surface temperature goes up, and the earth radiates more as a result; this extra radiation gets absorbed by the lower half of the troposphere; so in the upper section of the troposphere, nothing has changed temperature-wise — the effective radiating temperature is still the same in equilibrium since it has to compensate the constant amount coming in from the sun.\nRayleigh or Mie scattering which give us blue sky. Rather, it appears to be the following process. The fundamental element is absorption and re-emission of infrared radiation by a carbon dioxide molecules as described and illustrated here: The re-emitted radiation then encounters another carbon dioxide molecule and the process is repeated multiple times. In a secondary process, a carbon dioxide molecule, after it has absorbed an infrared photon and started vibrating, but before it has the chance to give up that energy by re-emission, may collide with another gas molecule, transferring the energy to it, in kinetic form, and raising the temperature of the gas.\nThe body of gas, like all hot bodies, emits radiation, which increases with temperature. However, this is not the same phenomenon as direct re-emission by the carbon dioxide molecule. The extent of this secondary process is not clear, i. It then re-emits far infrared radiation again — upwards only. The process is repeated multiple times in theory, an infinite number. Each time, half the amount of radiation comes back down to earth, so there is a convergent geometric series. This seems a more plausible model than radiation suddenly reaching a critical height at which it can escape into space.\nAlthough radiative energy is transferred upwards through collisions, this is not the reason for the lapse rate. The lapse rate is caused by convection. In a sense the atmosphere is a heat engine powered by the sun. Heat from the surface flows through the atmosphere to the tropopause where it radiates to space. The amount of CO2 and water vapour determines the height at which the mean free path for absorption is larger than the atmosphere above it.\nThat average height is at K to balance energy in and out. If the height increases then so must the surface temperature.\nAll things equal it increases by about 1C for each doubling of CO2. So if CO2 quadrupled to over ppm the tee rapture would rise by 2C. Richard and Clive thanks for posts. Can anyone direct me to original papers about energy transfers in gas, particularly the atmosphere. At a basic level what happens to an energised gas molecule? How long does an individual molecule retain energy and how much of that energy is dissipated via collisions and how much radiated?\nIf a CO2 molecule collides with an N2 molecule how much energy transfers to the N2 molecule and how is that transferred energy then dissipated? There must be half lives for energy retention. Does energy transferred to N2 then eventually radiate to space at a different frequency to CO2 frequency?\nMy understanding is that in a gas energy principally transfers through collisions and only small proportions through radiation, so given the ratio of CO2 to N2 and O2 it would seem likely that most radiative energy absorbed by CO2 would quickly transfer to other molecules and ultimately be re-emitted in another wavelength?\nAnother thought I have had since it has been such a cold May and June in Scotland is that since convection is the principal mechanism for energy transfers in the atmosphere, any heating in the lower atmosphere will be counter balanced by cold currents descending from the upper atmosphere. Rather than warming being a consequence of heating, more wind would be the effect? Is the earth getting windier? The first comment to make is that we never hear this crucial explanation in the popular descriptions of the greenhouse effect.\nThat is, however, because those communicating with the public have concluded, probably correctly, that their knowledge of science and their capacity for focus is SO meager that the correction explanation would be lose of them. I have also inserted some words in square brackets to provide a bit more explanation. A common fallacy in thinking about the effect of doubled CO2 on climate is to assume that the additional greenhouse gas warms the surface by leaving the atmospheric temperature unchanged, but increasing the downward radiation into the surface by making the atmosphere a better infrared emitter.\nA corollary of this fallacy would be that increasing CO2 would not increase temperature of the lower atmosphere if the lower atmosphere is already essentially opaque in the infrared, as is nearly the case in the tropics today, owning to the high water vapor content of the boundary layer.\nThis throws the top-of-atmosphere budget out of balance, and the atmosphere must warm-up in order to restore [radiative] balance [due to the Blackbody Law]. The increased temperature of the whole troposphere increases all the energy fluxes into the surface, not just the radiative fluxes. Further, if one is in a regime where the surface fluxes tightly couple the surface temperatures to the overlying air temperature, there is no need to explicitly consider the surface balance in determining how much the surface warms.\nSurface and overlying atmosphere simply warm in concert, and the trop-of-atmosphere balance rules the roost. Ray also goes on to point out that Arrhenius got this all right, as did Callendar and Plass , and then Manabe Ray does not point it out, but I will: Others did not, e. Plass did not get it right. It would appear to me to be very helpful to describe the radiative effect of additional ppm CO2 or so based on the 5 W per m2, as a percentage of the roughly W per m2 of incident solar radiation e.\nMany people have a feeling for percentages if not all the science behind global climate change and this may help a debate. That is about the same as the energy density removed from the atmosphere by a wind farm. In that respect it is noticeable how the the largest cloud cover is over the warmest tropical oceans in summer months. The physics explanation is that tropospheric carbon dioxide heat blankets exponentially double in halving time increments.\nThe greenhouse effect is cumulative. Heat is trapped between the ocean surface and the tropospheric heat blankets. CO2 loads the gun; the solar cycle pulls the trigger. Since the millennium, the CO2 heat blanket effect dominates over the solar cycle heat input.\nOceans are stratified with warm freshwater over cold salty water; heated from above, there is no convection.\nWind-driven and geostrophic near-surface currents, in eleven counter-rotating ocean gyres, transport heat and nutrients polewards. At high latitudes, tropical-origin seawater basal melts floating ice. Freeze-brine carries cold salty water to abyssal depths. This is different from the ocean conveyor model. Land evaporation, dependent on windspeed and relative humidity, is mis-used in current climate models. On this basis, a recent peer-reviewed publication computed equatorial evaporation equal at midnight and midday!\nThis is based on century-long daily sea surface temperature records. It was found on a student cruise between Tahiti and Hawaii where surface and 3m temperatures and salinities were measured hourly. A sign change in the seawater density equation reverses the impact of increasing salinity on density.\nBy a quirk in the seawater density equation water warmer than 36 parts per thousand and 28C does not sink. It forms a westward thickening subsurface layer along the equator.\nIt contributes to the 30C western and eastern Pacific warm pools. Climate sensitivity is a nonsense. The doubling CO2 heat trap is also seen in the exponential doubling decrease in Arctic floating ice volumes. The carbon dioxide heat trap is far more serious than current thinking assumes. Hopefully this is wrong. It is hard to argue for many long daily sea surface temperature and salinity measurements and ice volumes The latest full text articles are online at: Let me point out that the amount of electromagnetic energy, whether incoming or outgoing, converted into atmospheric heating next to the major portion which is via surface contact is many orders of magnitude greater for H2O in the form of vapour or liquid than by CO2.\nThe absorption bandwidth for a water droplet is, dependent on size, virtually continuous. As increasing earth temperature increases both forms of H2O, it is clear the greenhouse gas theory does not need CO2 to cause global warming! Also, more water vapour means more cloud cover — and incidentally more reflection and re-radiation as well. It would also add to the discussion to note that a blanket does not keep you warm in any way which is related to the atmosphere, it prevents the energy generated internally in the body from escaping by a thermal barrier, that is what raises bodily temperature.\nBut only for energy radiated by CO2. Hardly a significant change. This changes the wavelength of the vibrational modes. CO2, H2O and O3 lie all within the thermal planck spectrum for earth temperatures whereas O2 and N2 are are much shorter wavelengths — typical of those on the surface of the sun. They emit and absorb IR photons in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air molecules. The temperature at a given height up to about 10, m is determined by thermodynamics — the adiabatic moist lapse rate and not by radiation.\nThis scale is set by the surface temperature. This cools off the top of the troposphere and sets the scale. The earth remains approximately in energy balance so that the energy lost to space equals the absorbed incoming solar radiation. The surface temperature approximately is then determined by the lapse rate. For the atmosphere to radiate from a higher altitude in general, due to an increase in the number of molecules in the atmosphere, its pressure would have gone up.\nAll mater above 0K emits heat energy, not just CO2, so But none the less the atmosphere emits upwards as a black body at all the frequencies you would expect of a black body at that temperature. Only some of those frequencies are impacted by CO2 so I believe what I say is valid; that either atmospheric pressure has gone up in line with the entire atmosphere emitting from a higher, and colder level, or it is only CO2 molecules that are now emitting from higher and colder levels, in which case any increase in heat retention must be relative to the increase in only CO2.\nBecause of conversation depth, replying to myself ConcernedCitizen: Not so for the outgoing. And, also as Clive described, the only part of the atmosphere that radiates and dumps energy is the top. The partial pressure of CO2 has gone up because we have emitted more, but it is such a small percentage of atmosphere that its effect upon atmospheric pressure is negligible compared to fluctuations in lapse rate and weather.\nMy understanding of this theory is that by adding CO2 we have thickened the atmosphere, causing it to radiate from a higher, colder altitude. This would of course entail an increase in surface pressure. For instance, if the top of a square meter column of air rises, but the density of the air within it goes down, there is a way that can be done so that the total mass of the air in the column does not change, and so there would be no pressure change.\nIf a photon emitted 9. The emission of a photon by a CO2 molecule can be done by two ways, correct me if I am wrong: CO2 is removing energy in this case, taking ke, converting it to a photon, and emitting it out to space.\nIn the first case the energy in the photon has to be the same when its emitted, so it is immaterial whether the photon is absorbed ad emitted by a hundred CO2 molecules arranged vertically, passing the photon up and out to space.\nAs I wrote, there will be some pressure change due to increases in CO2, albeit small. Sure, because the per unit volume amount of CO2 over all the atmosphere is higher. Accordingly, the emissive layer that succeeds is closer to the edge where there is no CO2. How does a photon, emitted by a CO2 molecule at say 9.\nIt depends on the wavelength energy of the photon. Most simply escape directly to space. Only a few in the central 15 micron line are absorbed by CO2 molecules higher up. None of this changes the temperature of the emitting layer which is dominated by the thermal energy of the surrounding air molecules. Eventually radiation loss to space becomes large enough to stop convection. That is the tropopause. I am not sure the about the source of confusion CC is experiencing.\nThe top of atmosphere concept is elucidating for me. For IR wavelengths within the absorption and transmission bands, the atmosphere will attenuate the IR photons from the surface to space as a function of the concentration. CO2 is concentrated enough that the atmosphere would appear opaque. Looking from space the surface features of the earth would be obscured—the earth would look like a gaseous sphere. This is the only energy that can escape from earth to space of that wavelength.\nAs the concentration of the emitting gas increases, the TOA is extended higher in the atmosphere. Thermal equilibrium at that altitude is at a lower temperature so less IR is transmitted. I think this is the only correct way to think about the GHE. Using this simple model I was able to calculated the radiative forcing of CO2, and understand the IR spectrum as measured from space.\nYou migfht be interested in these posts. CO2 Greenhouse effect demystified. Convection and Latent heat drive the thermodynamics of heat loss from the surface and generate the lapse rate.\nGreenhouse gases just set the scale height of radiative cooling to space. Back radiation is a complete red herring which explains nothing. I think the co2 saturation story should be or could be the main scientific base to start a global campaing againts agw, if not too late.\nI am not strong enough scientificly to detect technical flaw to this thread. Here in Québec our Prime Minister returned from Paris with totally new green policy, stopping any emerging oil exploration and full of new green taxing policy.\nI thing we can stop, or at least modify, the trend. But we must start with soud scientific arguments like I founb here. Knut Angstrom was a relative of the great Angstrom, but not the same. There are two great links at:. Almost all scientific paper I read take for granted ipcc co2 radiative forcing, witch is suspected to be originating from a circular processus.\nThe way i proceed is examine arguments thoses whose views differ from ipcc one and try to judge at merit. Not an easy task, but quite interesting. Thank you for links reference. A good thing is to check out online courses, and textbooks. The reason why CO2 forcing only grows logarithmically with concentration is because the central absorption lines are already saturated.\nThese are spectra I calculated using this model. Yes, and, uh, so? Did not say central lines contributed any more. But, facts are, especially around per cm, there are lots and lots of lines.\nThat was a detail I deferred in my comment. And, if you will recall, only half of the warming is CO2. The other half is from knock-on effects from water vapor, due to greater carrying capacity of atmosphere.\nReference to text cited earlier: I agree with you. This book is a masterpiece. I have it at home — but it is perhaps a bit heavy for your average punter. Calculating CO2 forcing is not simple nor straightforward. But yes it has been done and the answer is known.\nEven then you have to make some assumptions such as a standard lapse rate. Feedbacks are a second order effect whose effects are not known. What about the umbrella effect? What is the cooling effect? However, as you indicate there should be reduced sensitivity with increasing CO2, so the likely forcing should be less! Moreover, have you considered the reduction in incoming solar near IR. Thanks for your consideration and ….\nAnd to the degree the basic model back of the envelope one, not GCMs fits the data, which it does pretty well, I call that a win. The wave number of corresponds to a wavelength of 15 microns. Where there is no absorption there is NO emmission.\nThe heat of Venus and the climate on Venus may be understood if you consider the strength of the emr including gamma rays to be many times greater than earth because of its closeness to the sun. Then look at the slowness of the orbit. On earth near the equator a 48 hour day might cause temperatures above the boiling of water. On venus with a much stronger emr, the day is times as long as ours. Some rocks actually boil.\nBecause Venus is large enough to hold an atmosphere and half of the planet is not exposed to the sun, the enormous winds between hot and cold areas are created. Gamma rays and Xrays are absorbed by solids. The gases are a side effect. What gases absorb is irrelevant. What have you learned about the fudge factor? Is it derived from the cirular argument expressed above? No it is not a circular argument -I got that wrong.\nI finally ended up writing my own radiative transfer code to derive the greenhouse effect. I was then able to get about the same logarithmic result. Any doubts about Climate Change? It does not necessarily follow. You must specify the mechanism by which the level shifts higher in the atmosphere. Shifting it higher in the atmosphere requires energy. Moreover, it would be a positive feedback — increasing temperature, lofting the CO2 higher, increasing the temperature, and so on.\nEventually, the CO2 would achieve escape velocity, and launch itself beyond Earthly influence. All that really says is that the density of air falls with height. So if CO2 as a percentage of air rises from 0.\nThis is still an argument lacking a mechanism. Density alone does not provide height. If you took the Sun away, the entire atmosphere would collapse into a solid mass at the surface — very dense, in relative terms, but with hardly any height at all.\nYou must have an energy source to sustain the particles at higher altitude. The diurnal bulge is quite sensitive to solar activity, with the center of mass extending further outward by hundreds of km when solar activity is high see figure 2. The extra energy from the Sun is what sustains the atmosphere at those higher altitudes. Clive — thank you for spelling out the crux of the AGM argument as I understand your explanation — a decrease in radiative energy loss with decreasing T as one goes higher in the atmosphere.\nWhat about the decrease in absorption that occurs as the temperature drops because of a reduction in doppler broadening sharpening of the IR absorption band? However, I found an archived copy of it here: It seems that one has to do the calculation to get a good appreciation of how sensitive the IR absorption is to [CO2]. I got frustrated and so I made up my own simple model see appendix below.\nIt is immediately clear from the solutions to the rate equations that the value of the reaction cross-section for IR absorption per molecule of CO2 is critical as one might expect. It is clear that the absorption is not saturated in the wings of the absorption bands for increasingly smaller absorption cross-sections. There will be a range of cross-section values that are important from the perspective of additional photon absorption for the levels of [CO2] that are relevant to the atmosphere I should determine that sometime.\nMy problem is getting good, tabulated, cross-section data for the IR wavelengths of interest. Naturally, the IR absorption cross-section spectra will also vary with height in the atmosphere temperature and pressure dependence bur even values at STP will be useful for bounding the assessment problem. Can anyone point me to a good source of easily accessible tabulated cross-section data? Appendix — The differential equations describing the steady-state passage and dissipation of photons in the atmosphere per cubic metre are: P0 and P1 are the numbers of photons that are free and bound respectively.\nSolution of these equations gives the number of free photons as a function of height. It is assumed that any photon that is free at km is lost to outer space. I am not convinced about the black-body radiation argument: Being a failed physicist I would want to see some experimental data showing the effect of temperature on photon emission — does that exist?\nThis is the correct approach that you describe. The important ones on earth are the vibrational excitation quantum lines in the 15 micron band. I think the local thermodynamic equilibrium of the atmosphere is important because CO2 molecules can also be excited by collisions. Here is my simple picture. The surface radiates as a black body at temperature Ts.\nOnly triatomic molecules have vibrational quantum excitation modes in the Infrared. H2O has a rather broad wavelength spectra whereas CO2 has just 3 main bands, but on earth only the 15 micron band is significant. Gravity generates an exponential falloff of density with height. By inhibiting the direct radiative heat loss from the surface to space, the atmosphere generates itself a lapse rate.\nThis is because convection begins to move heat up through the lower atmosphere more efficiently than radiation. Only with a convective atmosphere under gravity can the greenhouse effect work. For each wavelength in the CO2 band there is an effective emission height where the mean-free path for IR photons is greater than all overlying layers. IR photons from this level radiate directly to space. Likewise for O3, although Clouds complicate H2O.\nThese actually get smeared out by pressure broadening. The central line cross-section is so high that it currently emits from the stratosphere where temperature increases with height. This means that this wavelength actually cools the planet with increasing CO2 levels. You can actually see this in Nimbus spectra. A simple excel spreadsheet model that approximates the GHE can be downloaded from this post.\nYou have helped a great deal, but I still have questions. As you stated, the absorption length for the current concentration of CO2 is around 25 meters. What happens to the thermalized energy? I would guess convection and water vapor transport it upwards. I understand that radiation is the only way for all this energy to exit to space. Water vapor must be a major radiator. Any help tying this all together would be appreciated. I think the trick is the following.\nThis is because by far the easiest way to move heat upwards is through evaporation from the oceans and convection to where it can radiate freely. That is why we have thunderstorms and weather due to Coriolis forces.\nNet radiative losses occur at high latitudes to offset net absorption in the equator. As CO2 increases the tropopause should get higher.\nHowever, as you rightly say water vapour is the ace card. No-one really knows how clouds and H2O will play out. Clouds reduce albedo cooling the earth, whereas H2O water vapour enhances the greenhouse effect. My hunch is that water is the ultimate negative feedback because otherwise the oceans would have boiled away billions of years ago.\nThe greenhouse effect works because the lapse rate usually makes the atmosphere cooler at any location than the radiation profile it is being exposed to. This gradient continues to the tropospause where Clive rightly points out that the stratosphere temperature then increases with height, but only during the daytime. At night the lapse rate would continue cooler at higher elevation to space.\nI agree, however, that water transpiration, clouds and convection dominate the regulation of atmospheric temperature. The areas where there is little water vapor, like at the poles, deserts and the tropopause, then CO2 can have an amplified role. There is still matching emission, but just from GHG in equilibrium with ambient, not matched to the particular absorption event.\nIt says emissivity equals absorptivity. What is actually absorbed and emitted depends on incident intensity for absorption and temperature for emission. That sounds like what I tried to articulate. The emission profile is identical to the absorption profile when there is a local thermal equilibrium. Temperature, of course, is a measure of mean molecular kinetic energy. This is a property of the gas as a whole, not of a molecule. The higher the gas pressure the more convection collisions will dominate over radiation to determine an instantaneous molecular state.\nImagine a gas at K sealed within a perfectly insulated and infinitely thin balloon. Now transport the ballon into outer space. If the gas is argon then it will remain at K for ever. However, if the gas contains. The Infrared Spectrum of Argon R. You are of course correct: A building with no windows and no CO2… Consider a building with modest insulation that is heated at a constant rate from inside. Assume that the building is insulated equally well everywhere resulting in a uniform temperature of the outer surface.\nIn steady state there is a higher temperature inside the building compared to the fixed exterior temperature. The temperature at the outer wall surface is higher than the exterior temperature. The temperature at the inner wall surface is lower than the interior room temperature. These temperature differences maintain an export of heat at the same rate at which the interior is heated. A building with no windows but with CO2… If now the heat resistance CO2 of the walls is instantaneously increased, at first the outer surface temperature drops and the inner surface temperature rises, while the interior temperature is still unchanged.\nIn this situation less heat escapes from the building than is released by the indoor heating system. The imbalance leads to a slow ascent of the interior temperature that continues until the outer surface temperature returns to its original value. The initial cooling of the outer surface temperature is analogous to the quasi-instantaneous cooling that occurs in the upper half of the atmosphere. The cooling is only transient and has no permanent component.\nA building with windows and no CO2… Assuming instead that there are parts of the building envelope that are more weakly insulated than the remainder, as is typically the case with thin glass windows. The outer surface temperature in equilibrium is higher at the windows than it is at the walls.\nA larger fraction of the total energy escapes via the windows compared to how much they contribute to the total area of the building envelope. The outer surface temperature of the wall is again diminished instantly. But once in the new equilibrium, even more energy escapes through the windows and less through the walls.\nThe permanent cooling of the outer surface temperature of the walls is analogous to the cooling in the higher atmosphere. An insulated building undergoing heating illustrates the blocking effect of CO2-induced mid to upper atmospheric cooling. The separation between walls and windows physically is analogous to the separation into opaque and transparent radiation bands spectrally, and energy transfer as heat conduction in the walls of a building is analogous to radiation in the atmosphere.\nAn analogy for the blocking effect from … http: Clive, perhaps you have found another reference to the one you linked to in your Feb 4, explanation of radiative forcing If you cannot find another source with the same equation, and since the one you cited no longer exists, then what basis for the equation you cited can you use to substantiate its validity and foundation? I have thus since then stored on my computer the actual authors, their university or research institutes, dates of information provided and the basis of references the authors use.\nThough more time consuming and tedious on my part I at least have my original source to refer to if data or basis is questioned or if I find future reason to question or compare it with other sources I find later. You have a dead link on this page: All of that energy has to escape back out to space. The only place for it to escape is back out through the atmosphere.\nHeat flow between the surface of the earth and the top of the atmosphere is related to the temperature difference between those points, and also dependent on the raidative resistance of the air layer between them. The atmosphere has high radiative resistance due to greenhouse gasses. So the temperature inside the lower atmosphere has to rise to keep the heat flowing out through the top at the same rate it is coming in — creating a large temperature drop across the 10 miles of atmosphere.\nThat results in a lapse rate of temperature, i. Without the atmosphere, the heat would simply escape by raidating directly to space, and the temperature of the surface would be lower.\nThe outside of a panel of glass of a greenhouse is hot to touch and even hotter on the inside. The atmosphere is not thin and solid like glass. It is thick, compressible and convective like gas. Climate is a long term average of many short term cyclical processes and that makes it hard to assign cause to effect. Doubling CO2 and basic physics — Climate Collections. Is there a source for the length of the free path for other re-radiating gases, for example H2O?\nThe number 25m is for CO2 near the surface, and is just an average value over the 15 micron emission. The CO2 molecule gets thermally excited into s of quantum vibrational modes. These then decay emitting a photon. Those moving upwards are absorbed by other CO2 molecules and the process is repeated until the air becomes so thin that for a given wavelength the photon escapes into space carrying energy. This is the effective emission height for that wavelength.\nI calculated this here in this post: H2O is more complicated and there is a wide band of emission frequencies. It is a much more effective greenhouse gas, but most water vapour is in the lower atmosphere. There is also the complexity of evaporation latent heat , cloud formation etc. Water vapour also changes the lapse rate reducing CO2 greenhouse effect.\nThe full effects of H2O on the climate are still not fully understood! Hello Clive, thanks for your answer. The following paper finds a free path for a photon before absorption by CO2 at the surface of Because of the high density of water vapor at surface level, the free path for water vapor must be much shorter.\nIn an absorbance experiment, light is attenuated not only by the solution, but also by the solvent and reflections from every interface in the light path.\nIn the case of a cuvette-based measurement, the appropriate reference would be the cuvette filled with just the solvent. Ensure that no dust or fingerprints are on the transmitting surfaces, as these will add scatter and absorbance signatures of their own.\nIf the sample is in a buffer solution, the reference must be the buffer solution with no sample present. In dual beam spectrophotometers, the reference solution would be placed in a reference slot for direct comparison for the duration of the experiment. When using an Ocean Optics spectrometer, you simply store a reference spectrum and then replace the cuvette with the sample to be measured.\nThe software takes care of subtracting the reference spectrum, as well as applying any other correction factors that are selected. It is a good idea to look at the reference solution periodically as a gauge of system drift. Drift can be caused by lamp intensity variations, changes in temperature, or even changes in the reference solution depending on the chemistry.\nIt takes very little time to take a new dark and a new reference measurement, so it is good practice to do so frequently while making measurements. Do I need an absorbance standard? Absorbance standards are used to verify the accuracy and consistency of response of an absorbance system relative to NIST-traceable standards.\nThis is required as part of quality control procedures in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the food and beverage, petrochemical, semiconductor, and pulp and paper industries. Neutral density filters can be used for the same purpose, but do not assess factors like staff ability to prepare stock solutions, liquid and cuvette handling procedures, or the quality of cuvettes being used.\nThey are provided with absorbance charts for each solution, collected using NIST-calibrated instruments. Why is stray light important? Stray light refers to any light that reaches the detector via scattering. This can include light that did not travel through the sample, or photons of the wrong wavelength hitting a pixel. Stray light has many sources, including ambient light that leaks into the instrument, light that bypasses the sample like light that gets wave-guided through a cuvette wall , higher-order diffraction from the grating, and scattering from optical surfaces inside the spectrometer.\nEven when a spectrophotometer is designed to minimize stray light effects, there is a physical limit imposed by the zero-order scattering of the grating.\nFortunately the stray light of an instrument can be measured and a correction applied in software. Stray light I s always appears as additional signal in both the sample I and reference I 0 measurement in the absorbance equation:. When the absorbance equals zero, like when the reference solution is inserted as the sample, the stray light terms cancel out.\nAs absorbance increases, I decreases and stray light begins to affect the absorbance value, reducing it from the true value. At very low light levels, the stray light, I s , approaches or exceeds the transmitted light, I , and becomes the dominant term. At this point, it becomes the limiting factor for the absorbance that can be measured. When the stray light of a system is quantified, it is usually expressed as a percentage of the reference value. Our spectrometer models with the lowest stray light are the Torus 0.\nAs shown in the figure below, absorbance readings in the 0. Since stray light is a property of both the spectrometer and of the light source used, it must be characterized at the system level. One method is to measure absorbance using a highly concentrated sample. For example, if the concentrated sample is known to have an absorbance near 5, then the light reaching the detector would be reduced by a factor of 10, Any light measured above this level could be considered stray light.\nA longpass filter can also be used, as these are designed to block by 5 or more orders of magnitude at the shorter wavelengths. When using an Ocean Optics spectrometer, the stray light value can be entered into the software and then scaled and subtracted from all other readings.\nNote that stray light varies with wavelength. Near infrared wavelengths often contribute more than others to stray light, so using a shortpass filter prior to the spectrometer may help to reduce the amount of stray light reaching the spectrometer detector. Reducing stray light can also be as simple as turning off the tungsten halogen light source when working at wavelengths covered by the deuterium portion of the light source, or using a bandpass filter to limit the light source to illumination over only the wavelength range of interest.\nHow do I use Beer's Law to calculate concentration or extinction coefficient? This can also help to remove errors that are particular to the experiment, the equipment, or the particular set of samples being studied. First, carefully prepare a series of standard solutions for which the concentrations are known, and then measure their absorption as a function of wavelength.\nFor most compounds, there is typically at least one wavelength where the sample absorption peaks. Choose one of these wavelengths to monitor and create your calibration curve.\nAs an example, the graph below shows the calibration curve for calcium dipicolinic acid in deionized water. Measurements were taken at nm, the wavelength of maximum absorbance for this sample.\nThe reference was pure deionized water. Using this graph, the concentrations of unknown samples can easily be calculated using the slope of the line. Similarly, the extinction coefficient can be determined if the other parameters are known. For the most accurate results, it is best to use ten or more data points evenly distributed over the desired interpolation range.\nFour points does not a calibration make! Using a calibration curve conveniently eliminates the need to know the extinction coefficient or exact pathlength. This is handy, because very few chemicals come with a molar absorptivity curve for the exact solvent being used. It also allows the use of a sample holder of unknown pathlength, provided it is used consistently.\nIf the calibration curve turns out to be non-linear, it can still be used by fitting a polynomial function to the data. Interpolations have the potential to be just as accurate as those from a linear calibration curve, as accuracy is dependent on the quality of the curve fit, not the shape of the line.\nDeviations from linearity may indicate chemistry that is occurring within the sample, including, but not limited to, other species and changing equilibrium conditions. So before a nonlinear calibration curve is used, it is a good idea to verify the result using a fresh set of standard solutions.\nAll calibrations will be non-linear if a wide enough range of concentrations are used due to stray light and of limitations in the instrument. The detector measures the numbers of photons striking the detector during the integration time. Those photons arrive randomly, and the random variation in how many photons strike the detector is equal to the square root of the number of photons an effect called shot noise. At high absorbance values, the number of photons reaching the detector is low and the signal-to-noise is relatively poor.\nAt low absorbance values, there are plenty of photons and higher signal-to-noise. However, the uncertainty in measuring the percent transmission dominates the error in the measured absorbance value. In other words, the spectrometer is not as sensitive to small changes in absorbance concentration when absorbance is already low. The ideal range to work in is from about 0. By adjusting the concentration of the samples through dilution, by choosing cuvettes of different pathlength, or both, the absorbance values measured can be adjusted to be in this range to get the most accurate results.\nWhat's the difference between relative and absolute absorbance? If the illumination is diffuse, there will be a variety of paths taken through the cuvette, resulting in an average pathlength for the combined cuvette and system that differs from the specified length of the cuvette being used. Uncollimated light through a sample. Collimated light through a sample. If diffuse illumination is combined with collimated detection using a lens for light gathering , the result is a relative absorbance measurement.\nThat is, the absorbance reading for a specific sample will depend on the specific instrument used. Our direct-attach and integrated cuvette holders provide diffuse illumination to the cuvette via light focused directly from a bulb. Transmission dip probes and flow cells are also relative absorbance sampling optics. Collimated illumination combined with collimated detection results in absolute absorbance measurements, which are independent of the instrument used to make the measurement.\nAny of our cuvette holders which use a fiber and collimating lens combination provide collimated illumination, as the light exiting the fiber does so with a well-defined range of angles, allowing proper collimation. Be aware, however, that making adjustments to the position of the collimating lens in these cuvette holders will affect collimation of the incident light.\nRelative absorbance systems work very well for determining concentration when used with a calibration curve. They are not suitable, however, for determining extinction coefficients, as the exact optical pathlength is not known.\nAbsolute absorbance sampling optics:. How do I take the best dark measurement? When taking a dark measurement, it is best to block the light at the light source if possible. Turning the light source off and then on again will throw the light source out of thermal equilibrium and require a new reference measurement. Alternatively, many cuvette holders have a filter slot where the light can be blocked.\nPaper, even cardboard, can be deceptively transmitting, and it only takes a very low level of light to affect a measurement. How do I take the best reference measurement? To take the best reference measurement, first allow the light source to come to thermal equilibrium this can take up to 30 minutes in some cases.\nEnsure that all surfaces of the cuvette are clean and clear of fingerprints, dust, and dirt. Fill the cuvette with the exact solvent or buffer solution to be used for the sample, and check for bubbles. It is especially important to check for bubbles if using a transmission dip probe or flow cell, as they are prone to this source of error, particularly at the shorter path lengths. Keep boxcar width to approximately the same value as the pixel resolution of the spectrometer, otherwise it can affect the spectral resolution.\nOnce the reference has been acquired, go into transmission mode and take a look at the resulting spectrum. Wavelength regions with more noise indicate the wavelengths at which accuracy will be the least for the sample measurement typically the shortest and longest wavelengths.\nHow do I make repeatable measurements? In any measurement that is made relative to a reference, the enemy is instability. Temperature changes or heating in the light source can cause the reference or dark measurement to change slightly, affecting all data. How do I measure very low concentrations or low absorbance? At low absorbance values, the uncertainty in measuring the percent transmission may be as large as the attenuation created by the sample.\nThis makes it very hard to get an accurate absorbance reading for dilute or low attenuation samples. First, ensure that the wavelength of peak attenuation for the sample is being monitored. Then, increase the pathlength of the sample cell until the absorbance readings are in the sweet spot of 0. Alternatively, concentrate the sample prior to measurement or use less solvent for sample preparation.\nIf the amount of sample available is limited or precious, try using our SpectroPipetter. How do I measure very high concentrations or high absorbance? At high absorbance values, the signal reaching the detector is very low, and signal-to-noise is limited by the shot noise of the detector.\nThe effect of stray light also increases at higher absorbance values, reducing the perceived absorbance from its true value see section on stray light for more information. Using a spectrometer that has been specifically designed for low stray light can improve the accuracy of high absorbance measurements considerably.\nThe stray light of a system is usually expressed as a percentage of the reference value. Stray light is instrument-dependent, so once measured for a specific system, it can be corrected in the software. This also improves the accuracy of high absorbance measurements significantly. Stray light correction is highly recommended for any measurements above 2 absorbance units, and can even improve accuracy for lower measurements. When possible, it is best to reduce the pathlength of the system or dilute the sample to bring measurements into the 0.\nWe also offer ultrashort path flow cells, including adjustable pathlength micro flow cells for process applications. Is there an easy way to make kinetics measurements in the software?\nThe strip chart feature allows you to select the spectrometer, spectrum type absorbance vs. This can then be easily imported into Excel for analysis. Should I correct for electrical dark? Think carefully about whether you want to turn on electrical dark correction. Dark current levels tend to vary slightly over time due to temperature variations, and the electrical dark correction option will keep the offset dark levels stable for a longer period of time.\nThis correction does add noise, however, as it is a subtraction calculation. It would not be advisable for very low absorbance measurements.\nSo consider your environment, absorbance value and the amount of temperature variation you typically see. Should I use the non-linearity correction? Non-linearity correction improves the accuracy of the spectral shape, but also adds more noise to your original signal.\nThe error is somewhat subtle and usually smaller than the experimental errors associated with handling liquid reagents.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Australian Summary: Troughs in the east and west are generating showers and thunderstorms across WA, QLD and NSW, some severe.

Children, the elderly and people with health problems, particularly those with asthma or heart or pulmonary disease, suffer more than everyone else from the effects of pollution. Numerous scientific studies show a direct link between exposure to atmospheric pollution and poorer health, both in the short- and long-term. Polluted air causes lung cancer, has clear effects on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, contributes to the onset of asthma add diabetes, inhibits foetal growth, delays the development of the brain and pulmonary function in children and shortens life expectancy.\nRespiratory and cardiovascular problems\nShort-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can irritate people's eyes and respiratory systems. The main effects of long-term exposure can be delayed lung development in children, bronchitis in asthmatic children and the appearance of chronic respiratory and cerebrovascular diseases in adults. In particular, suspended particles (PM2.5 and PM10) affect the respiratory tract and cardiovascular system. Long-term exposure to particles in relatively low concentrations, which are normal in urban environments, can affect the lungs and even cause cancer. The finer the particle the more dangerous it is to our health, as it penetrates as far as the inside of the circulatory system and enters the bloodstream.\nDelayed brain development in children\nChildren are one of the population groups worst affected by atmospheric pollution in Barcelona. As newborns and pre-school-age children have a relatively higher rate of breathing, they inhale more atmospheric pollution and, moreover, their lungs and immune system are still not fully developed. According to studies, air pollution levels double during the times of day when children start and finish school. Air pollution can alter the brain's connectivity and delay its development in children, as shown in several research studies conducted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).\nDelayed foetal growth\nExposure to atmospheric pollution starts before birth. Very fine particles pass from the lungs to the blood and can cross the placenta and reach the foetus. There is clear evidence that exposure to atmospheric pollution during pregnancy has a negative effect on foetal growth. It is estimated that keeping atmospheric-pollution levels in Barcelona under the threshold recommended by the World Health Organisation could prevent as many as 198 cases of underweight births and 68 cases of premature births every year.\nShortened life expectancy\nLong-term exposure to atmospheric pollution is associated with a life expectancy of the population that is several months shorter than usual . It is estimated that keeping atmospheric-pollution levels in Barcelona under the threshold recommended by the World Health Organisation could prevent 659 cases of premature deaths every year.\nScientific studies show that atmospheric pollution harms our health, even when the levels do not exceed the thresholds established under European legislation. On the other hand, it has also been shown that improving air quality improves the population's health.\nRecommendations for sports activities\nDuring days when air pollution is especially high, it also has short-term effects on people with chronic respiratory illnesses and heart disease. Such episodes may cause these individuals to experience a worsening in their symptoms as well as a rise in cardiorespiratory-related hospital emergencies and admissions and mortality rates. Where atmospheric pollution is very high, the general population may experience irritation to their throat or eyes and coughing.\nThe Barcelona Public Health Agency\nThe Department of Environmental Health at the Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB), which has an Atmospheric Pollution Analysis Centre in the city, publishes an assessment report every year on air quality and its development over the years, for each of the regulated pollutants measured at the various stations on the city's atmospheric-pollution monitoring and forecast network.

Hurricanes are very large storms that swirl with a very low pressure at their center. The lower the air pressure, the faster the winds blow in toward the center of the storm building force. When the winds reach a point of 75 miles per hour it is classified as a hurricane. They can easily grow to more than 400 miles in diameter.\nWhen hurricanes form, the only way to find out information about them, that can be used to predict the behavioral patterns of additional hurricanes, is to go into the eye of the storm and measure its behavior. However, it is dangerous and only a few are able to do the work. Those that go into the storms are called hurricane hunters.\nWinds blow up to 125 miles an hour, rain comes down in flood-like manner causing the streets to look like rivers, huge waves pound against the shores, and warnings are given to stay indoors. That is the perfect conditions for the hurricane hunters to go to work. They get into a specially equipped airplane and fly directly into the storm. These planes can withstand winds up to 300 miles per hour. As the planes enter the storm it passes through bands of howling winds, blinding rain and thunderstorms. The ride gets very bumpy. Often they cannot read the instruments because the plane is shaking so much. The rain gets so loud that they cannot hear each other talk and the plane is struck by lightning.\nMost hurricane hunters are meteorologists too. This allows them to measure from within the storm the air pressure, temperature and wind speeds. From that information they are able to predict the path of the hurricane. These same measurements can be taken from outside of the storm, but the most helpful information comes from within the storm itself.\nHurricanes winds swirl around in the eye of the storm. The eye is a calm area in the center of the storm. As the airplane flies through the eye, a crew member will drop a device called a dropsonde from the plane. This is a small tube with an attached parachute. The tube contains measuring instruments and a radio transmitter. As the dropsonde falls towards the sea, it transmits weather data back up to the airplane. Crew members send this information to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. There the scientists use the information to determine the strength of the hurricane and predict the direction it is traveling. From this information they are able to warn others to evacuate homes near coastal areas and move to safer areas inland.\nHurricane hunters brave some of the roughest weather that exists. To get all the information needed to study storms and track them for information it is often necessary to travel through each hurricane several times before they gather enough information. Some flights last more than 11 hours, but hurricane hunters know their hard work will save lives.\nThe job of a hurricane hunter is dangerous and vital to measure the eye of the storm. By doing so they are able to gather the measurements needed to track and predict not only the current storm they are flying into, but also are able to predict the behavior patterns of future hurricanes. When winds are blowing, rain is falling, and waves are crashing, most people head inside to safety, but the hurricane hunter does just the opposite; they enter a special plane and fly directly into the center of the storm.\nScience Reading Comprehension Topics\nI Furnish Myself with Many Things - The Journal: It Blows a Most ...\nTo link to this Hurricane Hunters page, copy the following code to your site:", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Our third nor’easter in 10 days will start Monday afternoon.

Scientists have been telling us about the human-climate change connection for years, but now they can say for certain that we are responsible for “drought”.\nThanks to human fingerprinting, which is a relatively new technique in climate science, experts have been able to determine that human behavior has had a long-standing influence on precipitation. A study published in Nature Climate Change separates natural and human influences by looking at various factors, including use of fossil fuels and polluting aerosols verses natural swings in the Earth’s climate, as well as volcanic eruptions.\nRainfall and drought patterns\nWorking with climate models, scientists looked for human fingerprints on global rainfall and drought patterns between the years 1860 and 2019. What they discovered is a connection between human-produced greenhouse gases and wet-dry patterns. They could see the human fingerprints worldwide beginning in 1950.\nAs the World Economic Forum recently reported, manmade sulfate aerosols have a role in driving environmental change. There have been large decreases in rainfall in areas such as central Asia, eastern China and Indonesia, as well as US states, like California. However, the scientists determined that aerosols are only part of the picture. There is also a human fingerprint linked to the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ, which is a belt of low pressure that circles the Earth near the equator. It dictates rainfall patterns for a lot of the tropics. The researchers found that human influences have had an impact on the movement of the ITCZ. Up until the 1980’s, use of aerosols was the offender. After 1980 pollution regulations reduced some of the manmade aerosol emissions in North America and Europe. As a result, the ITCZ shifted back northward bringing less rainfall to the western part of the world and more to Sahal, the ecoclimatic zone in Africa.\nThe human-fingerprinting study should not come as a surprise, after all countless studies have suggested that mankind is largely responsible for the state of our planet. In fact, a few years ago a study published in Climate Dynamics found that humans are responsible for all observed global warming since the mid-20th century. Another example is NASA. The agency has documented a wide range of evidence that our behavior has contributed to shrinking glaciers, accelerated sea level rise, shifts in plant and animal ranges and intense heat waves.\nThe study involving human fingerprinting helps explain the changes in drought pattern over the last century. As a part of the mounting evidence that humans contribute to global warming, we can only hope that the study gives climate change naysayers cause to pause and consider reshaping their lifestyle habits.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "This was taken on the morning of November 14 2012 during a total solar eclipse, only some parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory got to see the full Total Solar Eclipse, unfortunately here in Perth, Western Australia we only got to see a partial eclipse as the sun was rising, the sun was bellow the horizon during the maximum part of the eclipse, and by time the sun came up, the moon was already moving out of the path of the sun.\nWhat I saw here in Perth, Western Australia only lasted about 15 minutes, and the best part was the 5 minutes as the sun came up.

At the time, there had been 14. Since then there has only been one more the incredibly devastating Cyclone Sidr bringing the global total to 15. And with the year almost out, at this point I don't see any chance of not being wrong in my prediction.\nIn fact and as we'll see barring some sudden dramatic tropical eruption, 2007 is going to turn out to be a below-average year for overall global intense hurricane activity. That's not to say there weren't some serious hotspots particularly the North and South Indian Ocean basins. But for anyone convinced that global warming is causing an increase in the intensity of the average hurricane, it's hard to make the case that 2007 serves as a data point in your favor.\nTo see that, though, let's first survey the total storm activity in all the major hurricane basins. My source for this data is Unisys Weather, but I have made a few corrections in places where that data seem incorrect (e.g., Cyclone Indlala is only listed as a tropical storm by Unisys when in fact it was a Category 4).\nIn the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, where storms are tracked by the U.S. National Hurricane Center, I counted all storms that were given names (which occurs once the storms reach maximum sustained wind speeds of 35 knots 40 mph or higher, the cutoff for Tropical Storm status). For other basins, where there are multiple measurements used in classifying storms and multiple monitoring agencies, I am counting all storms in the Unisys database that had a maximum sustained wind speed of 35 knots or higher.\nThat process leaves you with the following numbers, as of Dec. 19, 2007:\nTropical Storm Tracks, 2007 Northwest Pacific Basin Unisys Weather\nWhat can we read into these numbers?\nWell, first off, the average total number of storms per year is generally in the 80-90 range, so there's nothing particularly noteworthy about 2007 in that respect.\nHowever, when you come to the total number Category 4 and 5 storms, it's another story entirely. Here, the average per year is 17, and the record in one year is 25. By these lights, 2007 is definitely a below average year.\nGranted, 2004, 2005, and 2006 were all above average, with 23, 22, and 19 Category 4 and 5 storms, respectively. So 2007 may just be a quiet anomaly. Moreover, there were a number of borderline Category 3/Category 4 storms this year, which might have been bumped up a category had they occurred in the Atlantic region.\nBut nevertheless, the official 15 storm total which, to be sure, could increase by the end of the year, but probably not by more than one storm at the absolute most clearly does not help the argument that global warming is intensifying hurricanes.\nNext week I will go more in depth, and look in more detail at some of the most remarkable and troubling storms of 2007.\nEnter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Fishermen cautioned of rough seas\nDecember 3, 2019 02:55 pm\nDue to the low-level atmospheric disturbance to the south of Sri Lanka, showery and windy condition is expected to enhance over south-eastern and southern sea areas, the Met.

We show that there are shared conclusions upon which scientists can agree with some certainty, and we are able to statistically quantify that certainty.\"\nUsing regional climate models' temperature values from 1971 to 2000 in addition to their projections for 2041 to 2070, the research team estimated that average land temperatures across North America will rise around 4.5 degrees F or 2.5 degrees C by 2070.\nThrough this analysis, the team also determined that there is a 97.5% probability that average temperatures will rise by at least 3.6 degrees F or 2.0 degrees C over a large area of North America by 2070. You can see those maps right here.\nNo surprise, the northeast part of North America in Canada is projected to see the greatest increase in temperatures over the winter with a rise of about 10.7 degrees F or 6.0 degrees C by 2070 as sea ice continues to diminish, allowing more of the sun's energy to be absorbed, instead of reflected back to space.\nAlso from the OSU release.......\nCressie cautioned that this first study is based on a combination of a small number of models. Nevertheless, he continued, the statistical computations are scalable to a larger number of models. The study shows that climate models can indeed be combined to achieve consensus, and the certainty of that consensus can be quantified.\nMuch more in depth discussion about this research can be found on the statisticians' website.\nHow did November 2014 rank in terms of global surface temperature?\nGlobal extreme temperature anomalies are rising faster than average temperature anomalies.\nPeople's perceptions of global warming are influenced most by their political orientation and not by actual changes in climate.\nCurrent record-breaking sea surface temperatures indicate that the 14-year pause in ocean warming has ended, according to a new study.\nWill 2014 end up as the warmest year on record?\nNew research tries show a better way of understanding what happens to the Earth under climate change.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "AN ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL AEROSOL PARTICLES DURING PRECIPITATION\nKeywords:Atmospheric aerosols, Biomass, Classification rule, Multinomial model, Precipitation, Severity index\nAfrica is one of the sources of biomass burning emissions. It is estimated that about 6 million tons of fuel per day is consumed in the southern hemisphere. Biomass burning has an important contribution on aerosol particle concentrations in the atmosphere. Efforts have been made to conduct research in Gaborone to monitor the concentration of atmospheric aerosols in atmosphere. These studies were mainly confined to measurement of concentration of aerosols and establishing a relation with determinants such as carbon dioxide concentration, biomass burning, and precipitation among others. However, very little seems to have been done in relating the empirical data to a mathematical model or to study quantitatively the impact of precipitation on the concentration of aerosols larger than 0.3?m in the atmosphere. In this paper we provide an objective criterion for classifying measurements on concentration of atmospheric aerosol particles and build a mathematical model that helps us to understand variations in weekly aerosol concentrations in terms of their severity. We also construct an index of severity which when applied to different seasons under the study period indicates that precipitation significantly scavenges atmospheric aerosols.\nInternational Journal of Environment\nVolume-4, Issue-3, June-August 2015\nHow to Cite\nThe author(s) acknowledge that the manuscript submitted is his/her/their own original work; all authors participated in the work in a substantive way and are prepared to take public responsibility for the work; all authors have seen and approved the manuscript as submitted; the manuscript has not been published and is not being submitted or considered for publication elsewhere; the text, illustrations, and any other materials included in the manuscript do not infringe(plagiarism) upon any existing copyright or other rights of anyone.\nNotwithstanding the above, the Contributor(s) or, if applicable the Contributor’s Employer, retain(s) all proprietary rights other than copyright, such as Patent rights; to use, free of charge, all parts of this article for the author’s future works in books, lectures, classroom teaching or oral presentations; the right to reproduce the article for their own purposes provided the copies are not offered for sale.\nThe copyright to the contribution identified is transferred to IJE.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Air temperatures at Baltimore Washington International Airport in\nMarch and April fluctuated mostly between 50-80 degrees F with frequent rain events.\nAccording to the National Weather Service, this was the wettest April since 1983.

April temperatures averaged 53.0°, or 2.5° above the long-term average, making this the 12th warmest April since 1895 (see table below). Having the last four days come in below average was enough to knock it from the top 10. This is the 5th consecutive month of below average temperatures and makes 10 of the past 12 on the warm side of the ledger.\nThe warmest afternoon was the 18th, when temperatures were in the 80s statewide (even High Point), with the exception of coastal areas where temperatures stayed in the 60s. The 18th saw a diurnal temperature range of 51° in Hillsborough (Somerset County: max 87°, min 36°), while on the coast, Harvey Cedars' range was 11° (Ocean County: max 61°, min 50°). The morning of the 3rd was by far the coldest, with some northwest and Pinelands valleys in the mid teens and all but the immediate coast below freezing.\nWhat was on its way to be a very dry month proved to be only a moderately dry one thanks to a general statewide soaking on the 28th (though as has been commonplace for the past year, the south didn't prove quite as wet as the north). Monthly precipitation totaled 3.08\", or 0.85\" below normal, making this the 44th driest on record. Without the rain on the 28th, the ranking would have been knocking on the door of the top 10 driest. But as seen with the temperatures, it takes a full month of observations and every day counts. Other days with notable precipitation in April include the 3rd-4th and 11th-12th. There was no measurable snow in the state during the month.\n12 warmest Aprils across NJ since 1895:\nPast Climate Summaries", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "3 contents match your search.\nPublish Date: 1 November 2016\nIt is the integration of meteorological service delivery for land transport that will be the biggest challenge for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs).

Once released, they stay in the air for minutes or hours and travel as little as 100 meters to 50 kilometers. Also, examples of such coarse particles include construction dust, pollen, mold, etc.\nParticulate matter PM10 is either directly emitted from a source (primary PM) or is formed through the chemical reactions of gases such as oxides of sulfur (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), organic compounds, etc. in the atmosphere (secondary PM). Whereas, the natural sources of particulate matter are wind-blown dust from open land, pollen, spores, mold, dirt, soil erosion, and forest fires. Meanwhile, anthropogenic sources of PM10 include:\n- Burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, oil, diesel, or wood,\n- Also, waste-burning activities\n- Dust emitted from unpaved and also the paved roads\n- Crushing and grinding of rocks\n- Also, uncontrolled construction activities\n- Dust from factories, agriculture, and also from landfills\n- Emissions from energy supply and industrial processes\n- Metal and steel production as well as the reloading of bulk material\n- Also, wear and tear of brakes and tires of vehicles\n- Also, organic compounds released from industrial processes and motor vehicle exhaust\nPermissible levels of PM10\nThe breakpoint concentrations describing the quality of air based on the PM10 concentrations for different countries are given below. In India, the daily average PM10 levels of up to 100 μg/m3 are considered satisfactory. The Air quality guidelines by the World Health Organization suggest a 24-hr mean of 50 μg/m3.\nBreakpoints of PM10 (μg/m3)\nTable: Breakpoints of PM10 (μg/m3)\n|India (24-hr)||US (24-hr)||China (24-hr)||EU (8-hr)|\n|AQI Category||Breakpoint concentration||AQI Category||Breakpoint concentration||AQI Category||Breakpoint concentration||AQI Category||Breakpoint concentration|\n|Moderately polluted||250||Unhealthy for sensitive||250||Lightly Polluted||250||Medium||50|\n|Very Poor||430||Very Unhealthy||420||Heavily Polluted||420||Very high||100+|\nHealth & Environmental Impact of PM10\nThe potential of particulate matter to affect human health depends directly on the size of particulate matter. The particles with < 10μm diameter generally pass through the nose and throat and enter the lung. PM10, although less of an immediate health concern than PM2.5 due to its size, is still small enough to pass through the nose and throat and enter the lungs.\nWhen inhaled, PM10 deposits on the surface of the airways in the upper region of the lung, inducing tissue damage, and lung inflammation. It can irritate the nose, throat, and even eyes, short-term exposure to PM10 aggravates already present respiratory diseases such as asthma while long-term exposure can affect respiratory mortality. Sensitive groups of people such as children, elderly with chronic heart or lung disease, or people suffering from asthma are more susceptible to adverse health effects of particulate exposure.\nThe major environmental impacts of PM10 pollution are visibility reduction and deposition. Whereas, high levels of PM10 cause visible air pollution affecting the aesthetics of the surrounding environment. Additionally, the settling of the air-borne PM10 on plants, soil, and water ecosystems has harmful effects on them. The metal and organic compounds reduce plant growth and yield while the deposition of PM into water bodies affects its quality and clarity.\nAtmospheric particles also affect the heating and cooling of the atmosphere. Some components of PM such as black carbon promote climate warming while some components such as sulfates and nitrates have cooling properties.\nPossible corrective measures\nThe primary step is PM10 monitoring to identify the areas with high particulate levels or areas where air quality does not meet the PM10 national standards, In addition to this, the following corrective measures can be taken:\n- Limit outdoor activities and close windows and vents during times of high air pollution.\n- Avoid keeping your vehicle idle for so long.\n- Avoid areas with traffic congestions, construction activities, or unpaved roads, breathing such polluted air daily also leads to health effects in the long run.\n- Also, eliminate the use of the fireplace, wood stove, gas-powered lawn, or garden equipment.\n- And also eliminate the open burning of leaves, trash, or other materials\nMeasurement methods of PM10 monitoring\nDifferent working principles for particulate matter monitoring in the ambient environment are Gravimetric, TOEM, Beta Attenuation (BAM), and also Laser scattering\nHigh-volume Gravimetric Method\nThe PM10 monitors based on the gravimetric principle take in the ambient air for 24 hours at a constant flow rate through a size-selective inlet that only allows particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10µm or less to pass through. Also, the collection of the particulate matter is on a pre-weighed filter at constant temperature and humidity conditions. Then after the 24-hour sampling period, the filter is conditioned again under the same temperature-humidity conditions and reweighted. Therefore, The difference in the weight corresponds to the mass collected on the filter, which along with the known flow rate, sampling period, and the total volume of the air sampled is used to calculate the PM10 concentration.\nTapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TOEM)\nIt is a proprietary system for particulate matter monitoring, subsequently, the PM10 monitors based on TOEM determine the PM10 concentration by continuously weighing the particulates deposited on the filter attached to a hollow tapered element that oscillates in an applied electric field. Also, the oscillating frequency decreases with the accumulation of particulates on the filters. As a result thermal mass flow controllers constantly control and measure the flowrate of the PM10 monitor which along with the mass concentration, temperature, and other factors is used to continuously calculate the PM10 concentrations.\nBeta Attenuation Monitor (BAM)\nThe PM10 monitoring based on the BAM principle measures the particle mass density using beta radiation attenuation, the particulates in the ambient air drawn into the PM10 monitor are deposited on a paper-band filter and exposed to beta rays (i.e. electrons with energies in the 0.01 to 0.1 MeV range) which get attenuated as a function of the particulate mass. As a result, the beta count reduces with an increase in the PM10 mass and is recorded by the detector and converted to concentration.\nThe PM10 monitor based on the physical principle of light scattering, also known as optical particle counter (OPC), measures dust particles illuminated by laser light at a 90° angle. Whereas, the light scattered from each particle is collected at approximately 90° by a mirror and detected by a photo-diode. This signal is then fed into a multi-channel size classifier where a pulse height analyzer is used to classify each pulse that is proportional to the particle size. As a result, the counts in the channel corresponding to PM10 are converted to the concentration of PM10.\nAmong all the above principles of PM10 monitoring, PM monitors based on laser scattering are typically found to be preferred for ambient air monitoring because they yield quick and accurate measurements and are inexpensive in cor\nOizom’s working principle for PM10 monitoring\nOizom’s DUSTROID is an online particulate monitoring system that measures the concentration of various particulate sizes ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns such as PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and PM100 in the ambient air. Our PM sensor works on the principle of laser scattering hence, the active sampling-powered sensor-based air quality monitor DUSTROID is deployed across several cities, campuses, and universities. They are also used for drawing actionable insights to tackle the rise in ambient PM2.5 concentrations. Also, refer to case studies on air pollution for more information.\n5 reasons why PM10 monitoring is important:\n- PM10 is a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of very small size that can easily pass through the nose and throat and also penetrate the lungs.\n- Particulate matter is emitted into the atmosphere from processes such as combustion processes, cruising or grinding of rocks, and resuspension of dust and dirt from roads, soil, etc. They also form in the atmosphere from various chemical reactions of other air pollutants such as NOx and SOx.\n- When inhaled, it irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and airways and can also lead to aggravation of respiratory diseases.\n- PM10 monitoring is an efficient way to detect high concentrations of particulate matter and also prevent high-level exposures.\n- Real-time monitoring of PM10 levels helps in calculating the air quality index to deliver health advisories as well as formulating an action plan to meet standards.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "This science of weather...

A gorgeous stretch of fall weather continues across the Midwest through Friday. In today's blog we discuss a rain threat this weekend and look ahead to clues of the new LRC weather pattern.\nLet's start by fast forwarding to the end of the work week. Wednesday and Thursday will bring suntastic weather conditions to Wisconsin with highs inland in the low to mid 70s, and lakeshore areas staying in the 60s.\nHigh pressure(big blue H) on the map below will keep us dry and sunny today and Thursday. This high slips east and is located near New England at 7am Friday morning. The map below also shows a cold front entering the upper Midwest. This front will signal the next chance of rain for southeastern Wisconsin.\nIf you have outdoor plans this weekend make sure to have a plan 'B' ready on Saturday. As of this writing the best chance for showers or thunderstorms will be Saturday afternoon or evening. The band of showers looks to be fairly narrow, and would not last all day.\nThe GFS computer model(one of many we use) shows total rainfall between 7am and 7pm in a narrow band from the U.P. of Michigan south through southeast Wisconsin. The darker green shade over Milwaukee represents rainfall of 0.25\" to 0.50\".\nThe band of showers looks to develop near Madison and move east. Right now rain cannot be ruled out for the Badgers homecoming game at 2:30pm, but hopefully the rain will miss Madison or move east by kickoff.\nFinally, I want to provide a quick LRC update to those following along with the new weather pattern. Remember, the weather pattern that sets up from roughly October 1 through November will cycle and repeat through next summer. Each trough or storm system holds clues to the type of winter we may have in Wisconsin.\nOne important clue was the large storm system that brought severe weather and a blizzard to the Midwest and Plains this past weekend. The 500mb map below shows the position of the upper level low pressure area on Sunday, October 6. Keep in mind using the LRC we look for the trough axis. In the case below the trough axis would run from say International Falls, MN south to north Texas.\nIf a long term long, long wave trough sets up over the Midwest it may mean an active winter for some. Keep in mind this was just one part of the pattern and we need to see how the next 4-6 weeks play out before making the winter forecast.\nFor the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather\nHave a great day!", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Winter Storm Electra will bring more snow, heavy for some, this weekend.\nRain showers early with overcast skies later in the day.

The young people of today are those who will benefit of the great progress achieved in the field of understanding and forecasting of the weather and climate evolution. At the same time, taking into account the present evolution of the Earth climate\ntowards Global Warming, it is necessary for the young generation to know as much as possible about the complexity of the climatic system, including the issue of climate change.\nIn his message, delivered on the occasion of the World Meteorological Day 2014, Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General of WMO, underlines that nowadays there are approximately one billion people aged between 15 and 24. About 85% of them live in developing countries, facing a variety of problems. Therefore, the Secretary- General of WMO says in his message: „…Yet many young people still suffer from poverty and discrimination, inequality and exploitation; many of them still lack access to education, health and other basic services. These problems are exacerbated by the hazards of climate change and extreme weather, which characterize the lives of young people today and will have an even greater impact in the decades to come. Atmosphere and ocean temperatures continue to increase, ice caps and glaciers around the world are steadily declining, sea level is rising and a number of extreme weather and climate events are becoming more frequent and/or more intense”.

Thesis” for his work on cloud microphysics and hail formation and now revolutionize the weather space with next generation weather stations. Kubicek has led Understory through an accelerator program, a hardware seed stage, an institutional seed financing of $2 million led by True Ventures and a Series A financing of $7.5 million, led by 4490 Ventures and with strategic participation by Monsanto.\nUnderstory is a weather data analytics company that builds, deploys and harvests data to provide companies with empirical ground-truth weather data. Unlike any other solution, Understory deploys dense ground-based weather stations with technologically advanced sensors that detect and deliver 3,000-plus measurements per second. The heart of Understory’s solution is the weather station, which features a revolutionary design that is much more responsive and reliable than current weather stations. The weather station behaves like a dedicated scientist taking real-time measurements out in the field for weather events, including hail, wind, rain, as well as recording temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and derived measurements such as wind chill, heat index, sea level pressure and wind gusts. The station combines sensors that detect and report weather data on a second-by-second basis. It is the only type of weather station that delivers real-time data on the size of hailstone impacts. The ability to measure hail, wind and rain without any moving station parts in real time is what makes the weather station revolutionary.

The CMC indicates a closed low, then depression south of Jamaica taking shape around Nov. 04 2013. Albeit this is the only model now showing any type of development, I cannot safely rule this out, based on the current wind shear forecast that shows upper level winds beginning to become more conducive for development in the eastern Caribbean in about 72 hours, with a fairly developed upper level anticyclone moving westward as time advances in the forecast period.

However, upon processing the various areas that MAY be a potential trigger for development, the area in the far eastern Atlantic seems too far east to slide into the central Caribbean for development, and the area of clouds near 8.0N;47.0W does not appear to have any vorticity. My thought on this is, if one watches the current satellite loop carefully, a large area of cyclonic turning is noted over extreme northern South America near 10.0N;65.0W. This would be associated at the extreme southern portion of a trof axis that extends into the ITCZ.\nCATL SATELLITE LOOP IMAGERY\nAnalysis of current and forecast steering layers maps indicate a weakness in the subtropical ridging north of the Leeward Islands which appears to be enough, in that this area may be moving north of due west.

On May 6, severe thunderstorms formed across the heart of Tornado Alley from southern Nebraska, south through Kansas, Oklahoma, and into northern Texas. According to the AP, twelve people were injured in the resulting tornadoes across the Plains (preliminary reports were of 65 tornadoes), with officers twice having to evacuate the airport in Oklahoma City.\nOn May 6, 2015, heavy rain swept across Oklahoma City. These radar images show light rain in pale blue, moderate rain in medium blue, and very heavy rain in purple. Climate.gov animation by Hunter Alen, based on National Weather Service data.\nBut tornadoes were not the only worry. In just 24 hours on May 6, slow-moving thunderstorms dropped an astounding 7.10 inches of rain at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. On average, the city gets 4.65 inches in the whole month of May. Between 7 and 8 p.m.—just one hour—3.04 inches of rain came down. Rainfall totals estimated from radar data even exceeded eight inches to the west of the city. In total, the rains made May 6 the wettest day on record for May and the third wettest day overall in Oklahoma City, according to records that go to 1891.\nThe resulting flash flooding was so bad that, for the first time in the city’s history, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency. According to the AP, a spokeswoman for Emergency Medical Services Authority in Oklahoma City said that water rescues occurred “all over” Oklahoma City during the event. Fire department divers were even called upon to rescue drivers trapped in their cars by high waters.\nIn the Great Plains during tornado season, deluges of rain are not “uncommon.” Most people have been deafened by the overwhelming din of torrential rain from a thunderstorm pounding against a windowpane. In other words, occasional heavy, heavy rains are a normal part of the region’s climate. Even with that said, this event was rare.\nHow do climate scientists describe and rank these extreme events?\nUsing the historical rainfall record for Oklahoma City, which dates back to 1891, we can see that receiving 7.10 inches of rain in just 24 hours is likely to occur just once every 25 years or so. In fact, only four days previously in history have reported over seven inches of rain in one day at Will Rogers World Airport.\nThe 3.04 inches of rain that fell between 7-8 p.m. were also a once-in-25- year event. (For comparison, events where over 3 inches of rain fall in 24 hours usually occur once every year or two.) And when that much water falls from the sky that fast, there is no place for all of that water to go. The end result was the substantial flooding across Oklahoma City.\nIn addition to simply ranking the total rainfall that has ever fallen over certain spans of time—the wettest hour, day, week on record—climate scientists also use a location’s historical record to describe the frequency with which events of a given magnitude are likely to occur. The bigger the event, the larger the average recurrence interval (e.g. the longer it takes for a rainfall total to repeat itself).\nFor instance, one inch of rain is more likely to fall on any given day than ten inches. The ten inch event would have a higher recurrence interval (1 in 200 years for Oklahoma City) while the one inch event could occur ten days each year. In Oklahoma City’s case, an event of the magnitude recently seen (7.10 inches in one day) recurs on average every 25 years. Or said in another way, every year there is a 4% (1 in 25) chance of an event with that magnitude occurring.\nBut scientists can also use the historical record to declare an event a 1-in-100- or 1-in-500-year event. How can anyone say that when we only have a centuries worth of observations (124 years, in the case of Oklahoma City, for example)? What kind of hocus pocus is this? Well stay tuned.

An association between the presence of cumulus clouds with SO 2 conversions in droplets and incrementally higher fine particle sulfur concentrations can be demonstrated. However, diurnal patterns of fine particle sulfur concentrations in the presence of cumulus clouds are not consistent with local contributions from sulfate formation in cumulus clouds. Morning fog often occurs on the same days on which cumulus clouds form later. Reactions of SO 2 in fog droplets appear to make a contribution, but do not account for the major part of the increments in fine particle sulfur concentrations associated with cumulus clouds. The variations in fine particle sulfur concentrations observed can be explained if a substantial part of the sulfate formed in cumulus is transported upwards from the planetary boundary layer into the lower free troposphere. Subsequent multiday regional scale horizontal transport with concurrent gradual vertical transport of sulfate down to the surface would be consistent with the observed results.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "AUSTIN, Texas - Big weather changes are coming!

Less rain and stronger sunshine are the reasons given by the Environmental Protection Department for Hong Kong's increased pollution levels during the first three months of the year. In recent years, we have also been told that dust clouds, climatic systems or factories in Guangdong are responsible. But let us be clear - it is us and no one else behind the bad air.\nA department spokesman said earlier this week as yet another batch of poor figures were released that dry weather meant pollutants would stay in the air longer. Less cloud cover caused solar radiation, which formed photochemical smog. These reasons may go a way to explaining why the air pollution index was at a 'very high' level for about a third of the period. They do not answer the question of how the pollution got there in the first place, though.\nMeteorology is not required to answer it. It is caused by emissions from our vehicles, vessels and fossil fuel-burning power stations. Weather patterns can blow bad air our way, as last year, when dust from northern deserts choked our skies. In past decades, when Guangdong truly deserved the tag 'factory of the world', the polluted air from furnace smokestacks certainly did waft our way with the right conditions. At street level and for most of the time above our heads, though, the unhealthy air we breathe is our own making.\nThere has been progress. Government rules, guidelines and incentives have meant a marked decrease in some pollutants. But others are rising. The quarterly figures show that levels of roadside nitrogen dioxide from vehicle emissions, which can cause respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis, went up 21 per cent. No wonder air quality in areas where traffic is heaviest and most congested, Central, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok, was worst.\nWe have got the ways and means to improve our air and make it safer.

Temperatures likely remaining rather mild, though a risk of frost is possible during some colder interludes.\"\nWXCharts' forecast however makes a stronger prediction for chilly temperatures than the Met Office, showing a freezing weather system hitting the UK from December 19, due to air moving south from the Arctic and Scandinavia.\nIt predicts the whole of Scotland, Wales, northern and central parts of England turn a shade of light blue on weather maps, meaning sub-zero temperatures for the evening of December 19 with the north of the country worst affected, in a contrast to the Met Office's prediction.\nThe Met Office explained that it is extremely difficult to predict the weather reliably for more than five days into the future.\nIt says: \"When looking at forecasts beyond five days into the future the chaotic nature of the atmosphere starts to come into play - small events currently over the Atlantic can have potentially significant impacts on our weather in the UK in several days' time.\n\"Therefore whilst we can still forecast the general feel of the weather to a relatively high level of accuracy using our ensemble models, it becomes harder to offer local detail to as high a level of accuracy as our shorter range forecasts. For this reason our text forecasts for 5 days and beyond are written on the scale of the UK as a whole.\n\"Our long range forecast (which is updated on a daily basis) provides an indication of how the weather might change, or be different from normal, (i.e. warmer, colder, wetter, drier) across the whole UK.\n\"Met Office meteorologists consider output from a range of weather models when writing these forecasts. These models include those from the Met Office as well as models from other global forecasting centres such as the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts ( ECMWF).\nTherefore, the long term forecast should always be taken with a pinch of salt.\nHowever, for the period over Christmas and New Year and on until January 6, the Met Office is predicting settled conditions.\nIt states: \"Heading into the Christmas period, widespread settled conditions are likely.\n\"Temperatures perhaps close to or slightly above average for this time of year, however some colder interludes may bring a risk of frost at times.\n\"The last week of December and into early January is looking to remain settled, with an increasing chance of frost and fog during clearer spells for Christmas and towards New Year.\"\nKeep up with the latest news with our email alerts directly to your inbox.

The tornado, which had a maximum wind speed of 95 mph, was on the ground for two minutes and traveled a little more than a half mile, damaging a barn and knocking down or snapping about 20 trees, one into a home.\nAn EF-0 tornado, with top winds of 80 mph, hit near Milford in Kosciusko County and destroyed a large metal barn, the weather service said.\nAnother EF-1 tornado touched down first in northwest Wabash County, then was on the ground about seven minutes as it entered southern Kosciusko.\nThat 150-yard-wide tornado had winds of 100 mph, the weather service said, and destroyed structures and uprooted numerous trees.\nIn Whitley County, an EF-1 tornado with top winds of 100 mph briefly touched down near South Whitley.\nThe tornado in LaGrange County, the weather service said, was an EF-1 (top speed 95 mph) that touched down just on U.S. 20 and briefly entered the western side of the city of LaGrange.\nThe tornadoes and straight-line winds associated with the line of storms also knocked out power to about 150,000 northern Indiana residents, many of whom might not have their lights turned back on until Saturday.\nMore than 20,000 homes and businesses remained without power late Thursday, mostly in the South Bend area.

That's more than 1 inch above normal, and compared to annual totals dating back to 1948, this year ranks as the 22nd wettest.\nBut it was a different story at Weather Service satellite monitoring station at the Sundog Wastewater Treatment Plant.\nTotal precipitation at the Sundog plant totaled 4.78 inches for the season, more than 3 inches below normal. Among records starting in 1898, this was the 16th driest, as recorded at the wastewater plant.\nJohndrow said that type of variability is what's expected for a typical monsoon.\n\"It probably came down to a couple of days when a storm hit that northern area,\" he said.\nLooking across the region, many areas in Yavapai County reported near-normal rainfall.\nBagdad recorded 5.40 inches, Chino Valley 6.23 inches and Cottonwood 5.37 inches - all three within 1 percent of normal.\nJerome was down 11 percent at 6.52 inches and Seligman was 3 percent below normal at 5.40 inches.\nThe near-normal rainfall is further reflected in the weekly drought summaries produced at the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.\nWhile most of Arizona remains in moderate drought conditions, no areas of the state saw worsening of drought conditions, and some areas saw improvement since mid-June.\nClimatologists downgraded drought severity from severe to moderate for the Grand Canyon and parts of northern Coconino and Mohave counties. Similar improvements occurred in southeast Arizona and the White Mountains, including Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, eastern Pima, and southern Apache and Navajo counties.\nJohndrow said the overall drought situation has yet to be seen, as weather and climate experts are still expecting a strong El Niño year.\n\"For Arizona and New Mexico, an El Niño event means increased probability of receiving above-average winter precipitation, generally between October and March,\" Ben McMahan and Michael Crimmins at the Climate Assessment for the Southwest at University of Arizona wrote in an explanation about the weather phenomenon posted to CLIMAS website in late September.\nMcMahan and Crimmins said there is variability in El Niño events, though \"there is no guarantee that any given El Niño event will lead to wetter than average conditions.\"\nThey said based on predictions at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center, \"The best chances for observing above-average winter precipitation cover all of Arizona and New Mexico, but are slightly better for the southern half of each state.\"\nFollow reporter Les Bowen on Twitter @NewsyLesBowen.

Weather the likes of which even meteorologists and other experts say they have never seen before.\nWhat’s perhaps more remarkable is that we know why all of this is happening: Our changing climate. As the Earth warms, more extreme weather becomes more of the rule rather than its exception.\n“Glaciers started melting and Congress waited.\n“Fires started burning and Congress waited.\n“People started dying and Congress waited.\n“Now our cities are underwater, wildfires are raging, and temperatures are at record highs.\n“Congress can no longer wait to pass a Green New Deal.”\nThat politicians like Hochul and Bush were even talking about climate change in the midst of its effects suggests some progress — that at least some politicians have made the connection between the extreme weather we are experiencing and the warming climate.\nBush’s tweet raises a simple but deeply important question: Is this the moment when we, as a country, start to take climate change seriously? Or is this, like so many other scenes of extreme weather in recent years, simply written off or ignored because the solutions are too politically painful?\nFor a long time, the political reality of climate went something like this: The effects of our warming planet were too far away for any politician — or the average person — to worry about them. Sure, at some point in the long-distant future we, as a society, would need to make some changes in regard to our energy consumption and our broader lifestyle, but it wans’t urgent. It was something that, maybe, our kids’ kids’ kids would need to worry about.\nThe events of the last few days put the lie to those assumptions. Yes, climate change will continue to worsen unless actions are taken — and quickly. But, we don’t have to wait to see the impact of a warming climate. The record flooding in New York is climate change. The massive Caldor Fire is climate change. The rapid intensification of Hurricane Ida leading to yet another major hurricane wrecking Louisiana is climate change.\nThis is all factually true. There is no debate within the scientific community that we are currently living through the first major impacts of the warming planet — and that, unless critical changes are made, and soon, things will get significantly worse.\nPolling is mixed on just how much of that message has gotten through to Americans.\nWhen it comes to making changes to bring about the changes required to curb our climate crisis, the public is significantly more divided. A slim majority (51%) said that in the next 50 years “major” lifestyle changes will be necessary to “address problems from climate change.” Meanwhile, 46% believe that “new technology” will be developed over the next 50 years that will handle the growing problem of climate change.\nThat disconnect between acknowledging climate change is a problem and grasping the need to make at-times drastic changes in how we live in the world has long been a source of frustration for those focused on the threat posed by the Earth’s warming.\nThe sad reality is this: It may take extreme events impacting millions and millions of American personally — and costing peoples’ lives — before the proper urgency about climate change is reached.\nIs this that moment? For the sake of the people who died amid the flooding and storms, we can hope so.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Monsoon may revive from next week: IMD forecast\nMonsoon could not advance for the last one week because of weak flow, but circulation is likely to improve during the weekend, IMD says in latest weather forecast\nNew Delhi: After remaining subdued for more than a week, the southwest monsoon is expected to revive, before moving towards north India after 24 June. In its latest weather forecast, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the southwest monsoon could not advance for the last one week because of weak flow. However, the monsoon circulation is likely to improve during the weekend.\nAccording to the IMD, it will then advance over the remaining parts of Assam, some more parts of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal and some parts of Jharkhand, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, between 23 and 25 June.\nThe early onset of the monsoon over Kerala had raised hopes for early rains over the north-western states, but the monsoon weakened around 13 June. Part of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and some parts of Gujarat, where the monsoon would have normally arrived around 15 June, remained rain-deficit. Now, the onset of the monsoon over central and north states could be delayed.\nThe IMD said monsoon circulation is expected to improve with the movement of the active phase of Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) to west Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining Arabian Sea over the next two or three days. “Some positive changes have begun to occur, but we would get a clear picture in the next two days,” said A.K. Srivastav, head, climate monitoring and analysis group, IMD Pune.\nCyclonic circulations are also likely to develop over east India, which will strengthen the easterlies over the Gangetic plains.\n“To help the propagation of monsoon, there has to be sustained activity in north-eastern part of Bay of Bengal. The active phase of MJO over the Indian Ocean is critical as it positively impacts monsoon and winds have to be strong,” said associate professor Sridhar Balasubramanian, a meteorology expert from IIT Bombay.\nMonsoon rainfall, which was 19% surplus until 13 June, reduced to a deficit of 4% as on 19 June. However, the subdued phase was not entirely dry, as heavy rainfall activity continued along the western coast and parts of north-eastern states.\n- SC asks Kerala govt to provide security to two women who entered Sabarimala\n- Delhi, Gurgaon air show presence of alarming levels of heavy metals: Report\n- DGCA imposes restrictions on IndiGo, GoAir in operating P&W engines-powered A320 neo planes\n- Supreme Court gets two new judges\n- Dense fog disrupts flight operations at Delhi airport\nEditor's Picks »\n- What to expect from Q3 results of IndiGo, SpiceJet, Jet Airways\n- Forget privatisation, govt has hugged its banks tighter\n- Flat profit, rising debt are growing worries for Reliance\n- Q3 results: HUL growth off a high base shows it’s on a roll\n- DCB Bank Q3 results: Small loans give big pain as farm, mortgages lift delinquencies", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "Climate change discovery: Changing global temperatures may have been the cause of human extinction in the past\nClimate change shock: US CDC warns of brain-eating amoeba disease moving into US as result of rising temperatures\nClimate change: Rising temperatures may have caused the collapse of civilizations along central Asia\nClimate change: NASA study warns sea level rise by 15 inches if rate of carbon emissions continue\nClimate change continues to become a concern as animals in the polar regions are slowly losing their homes, with carbon emissions playing a part in the warming temperatures. A NASA study has revealed the dire result of the current rate in carbon emissions to the climate.\nA study spanning six years of analyzing climate models found that should the current rate of carbon emissions continue, the sea levels will experience a rise by a drastic 15 inches. The findings were published in the journal Cryosphere and the predictions are in line with the estimates given by the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change back in 2019.\nThe most recent results were from the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison project led by the Goddard Space Flight Center at NASA.\nAccording to project leader Sophie Nowicki of the University of Buffalo, “One of the biggest uncertainties when it comes to how much sea levels will rise in the future is how much the ice sheets will contribute. And how much the ice sheets will contribute is really dependent on what the climate will do.”\nTheir study found that under the current amount of carbon emissions, the region of West Antarctica will be hit the worst, suffering a significant loss of ice. The ice that would melt would cause sea levels to rise up by 7.1 inches or 18 centimeters by 2100. The 2019 report predicted that Greenland’s ice loss would lead to a sea level rise by 3.1 to 10.6 inche or eight to 27 centimeters.\nThe United States’ West Coast is experiencing wildfires over the recent weeks, but satellite images from NASA reveal that another force of nature is set on ravaging another part of the country.

This will slide east as we go into Tuesday bringing drier and cooler air temporarily into the Carolinas.\nMonday’s storms again could be a bit more feisty as there are more dynamics in play. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) of Severe Weather for Monday across Western North Carolina.\nHere’s a look at the FutureCast Radar through Tuesday morning. As you can see, a line of thunderstorms may form near the Southern Appalachians early in the afternoon hours and moving southeast through the rest of the day. Any severe weather threat for Western North Carolina will end by sunset.\nA slight cooldown is possible for Tuesday as northwest winds push in cooler, less humid air. However that will be quickly replaced by what looks to be the first heat wave of the season for mid to late week.

The accompanying storms could bring up to an inch of rain per hour and lead to flash flooding, the weather service said.\nEven stronger winds, gusting to 65 mph, were predicted for Boston and parts of New England.\nNearly 430,000 homes and businesses were without electricity following the storm Thursday, about half of them in Massachusetts, according to National Grid and Western Mass. The rest of the outages were spread throughout the Northeast and included nearly 74,000 customers in Connecticut, 74,000 in Rhode Island and 37,000 in New Jersey, according to local utility providers.\nTraffic delays were also in effect due to the windy conditions. Some flights to Newark International Airport were delayed more than two and a half hours and flights going to LaGuardia Airport in New York were delayed a little more than an hour, according to the FAA.\nOn Wednesday, eight different states confirmed tornadoes: Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Mississippi and Indiana.\nThe hardest-hit area was Adairsville, Ga., where a tornado ripped through Interstate 75, overturning cars and destroying homes and businesses.\n“The sky was swirling,” Theresa Chitwood, who owns the Adairsville Travel Plaza, told the Associated Press.\nAnthony Raines, 51, was killed when a tree crashed down on his mobile home, crushing him in his bed, Bartow County Coroner Joel Guyton told the Associated Press. Nine other people were hospitalized for minor injuries, authorities said.\nAnother death reported from the storms was in Tennessee, where a tree fell Tuesday onto a storage shed a man had taken shelter in.\nThe Adairsville Supermarket, a 55,000-square-foot staple in the town since 1958, was reduced to a massive pile of rubble, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Only a few people were inside at the time of destruction, but all of them managed to escape unscathed, the store’s owner Dilip Patel told the newspaper.\nAcross the street, a hotel was also a nearly-flattened pile of rubble and most of the roof was gone.\n“It was like you just opened it up with a can opener,” Trish Cooper, a hotel guest, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “You could just see everything.”\nThe storms were largely caused by a mass of cold air and high winds colliding with warm, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico that brought balmy temperatures to much of the East and Midwest.\nAs the cold air takes hold, a return to winter proper follows suit.\nWinter storm warnings were in effect Thursday in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, while parts of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest hunkered down under wind chills predicted to dip as low as 55 degrees below zero in North Dakota.\n\"Dangerous wind chills of 20-50 degrees below zero are possible for the Dakotas and Minnesota,\" Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth said.\nIn more populous areas, including the Twin Cities, wind chills had potential to reach minus 40 degrees, the weather service said.\nThose in the Upper Midwest who escape the worst of the wind chills still won’t have it easy.

The storm was located 135 miles southwest of Apalachicola and moving north, northeast at 14 mph. Tropical storm force winds extended 185 miles to the northeast and southeast from the storm’s east side.\nNorth Florida could begin feeling hurricane conditions Thursday night, forecasters said, with a storm surge possibly pushing water as high as eight feet in parts of the Panhandle. Thursday afternoon, the Florida Highway Patrol closed the Skyway bridge as winds picked up, the Bradenton Herald reported. Mandatory evacuations in coastal neighborhoods were also ordered as water started to creep across roads.\nOn its current track, Hermine is expected to come ashore in the state’s Big Bend with hurricane strength winds possibly reaching 75 mph. A large swath of the coast is already seeing a foot of surge from the storm.\nA hurricane warning was expanded earlier Thursday to include Tallahassee, and now stretches from the Suwanee River to Mexico Beach, south of Panama City. A tropical storm warning covered the Panhandle and was extended Thursday afternoon to include the Tampa and St. Petersburg area and south along the east coast to the Volusia and Flagler county lines.\nAlready Hermine was generating big waves, with some buoys recording heights recording over 16 feet.\nUp and down the coast, residents in low-lying neighborhoods began boarding up and stockpiling supplies.\n“We expect a lot of trees down and as wet as it’s been lately, it’s going to be ugly,” Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Trey Morrison told the Weather Channel. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes in the county.\nIn tiny, flood-prone Cedar Key, swamped last year by Tropical Storm Colin, city workers had trouble keeping up with requests for sandbags.\n“This building right here is pretty safe and pretty strong so I think it will be all right,” said Jordon Keeton, who piled up sandbags to protect new equipment in his waterfront restaurant.\nAbout a dozen shops boarded up windows. Outside his business, Joe Allen painted “Bring it on, Hermine,” in big black letters, but admitted he’s nervous.\n“You can never fully protect yourself from nature,” he said.\nHermine could push ashore a dangerous surge that, if it arrives at high tide, has the potential to trigger widespread flooding. Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters reported up to a foot of surge had already spread across the coast from Naples to New Orleans. On Thursday, water levels at Cedar Key reached two feet, he said.\nStorm surge warnings were issued for much of the region, with water levels predicted to reach up to eight feet in some areas of the Panhandle and up to four feet in Tampa Bay.\nThe storm, which pounded Cuba with 20 inches of rain over the weekend, is expected to dump five to ten inches on northwest Florida and southern Georgia Friday. Some areas could get as much as 20 inches, forecasters said. Tornadoes are also possible as the storm plows across North Florida Friday.\nOnce Hermine crosses inland, forecasters expect it to weaken but computer models show strong winds continuing east of the storm’s center.\nIn a morning press conference, Gov. Rick Scott warned people living in evacuation areas to heed orders and not delay leaving. Scott closed state offices in 51 counties, including Tallahassee where thousands of state employees work and which has not taken a direct hit from a hurricane in three decades. Schools in six coastal counties also closed. Florida A&M and Florida State University also canceled classes. The state also closed parks and campgrounds in North and Central Florida.\n“We’re going to see big storm surge. A lot of rain. A lot of flooding,” Scott said. “You have got to take this seriously.”\nDespite calls for rain in Central Florida, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has no plans to increase water flushed from Lake Okeechobee. Over the winter, record rain triggered releases that coated the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon with toxic, slimy algae. State water managers began moving water from the Kissimmee basin to make more room earlier this week. But Thursday,the Corps’ acting Operations Division Chief Candida Bronson said the lake was rising at a manageable level.\nIf Hermine arrives as a hurricane, it will be the state’s first since Wilma in 2005, ending a decade-long streak. While better formed and much stronger than Hermine, Wilma likewise pushed across the Gulf of Mexico, landing just south of Marco Island before plowing across the state for more than four hours and emerging near Jupiter.\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "An incredible photo captured the moment a snow storm swept across London bringing an icy blizzard in its path.\nLondoners were amazed as the city was hit by epic snow fall that blanketed buildings and roads on Tuesday.\nBut the wintry weather was short-lived as brilliant sunshine returned within minutes to melt the flakes away.\nPeople shared images of the bizarre weather on social media as the same views appeared transformed from winter scenes to sunny cityscapes in just five minutes.\nThe storm hit London at around 2.15pm, bringing heavy snow flurries and grey skies.\nMartin Tooth posted a picture of the storm rolling in on Twitter.\nHe wrote: “Just witnessed snow storm sweep into central London from the east with impressive speed.”\nAnd as the capital was caught in the downpour, Londoners excitedly shared pictures of the “snowmageddon”.\nShrangi-La London at the Shard shared a video of the storm rushing along the River Thames, obscuring Tower Bridge from view.\nBut the storm quickly passed, and people posted compare and contrast images as a remarkable clear, sunny sky returned by 2.45pm.\nJournalist Oliver Varney said: “Bizarre weather today!

But as the average temperatures continue to rise this century, we will keep setting more record highs.\"\nThe study team focused on weather stations that have been operating since 1950. They found that the ratio of record daily high to record daily low temperatures slightly exceeded one to one in the 1950s, dipped below that level in the 1960s and 1970s, and has risen since the 1980s.\nThe results reflect changes in U.S. average temperatures, which rose in the 1950s, stabilized in the 1960s, and then began a warming trend in the late 1970s.\nEven in the first nine months of this year, when the United States cooled somewhat after a string of unusually warm years, the ratio of record daily high to record daily low temperatures was more than three to two.Despite the increasing number of record highs, there will still be occasional periods of record cold, Meehl notes.\nThe study team analyzed several million daily high and low temperature readings taken over the span of six decades at about 1,800 weather stations across the country, thereby ensuring ample data for statistically significant results.\nThe readings, collected at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, undergo a quality control process at the data center that looks for such potential problems as missing data as well as inconsistent readings caused by changes in thermometers, station locations, or other factors.\nMeehl and his colleagues then used temperature simulations from the Community Climate System Model to compute daily record highs and lows under current and future atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.\nThe study was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), NCAR's sponsor, and by the Department of Energy and Climate Central.Title:\nClaudia Tebaldi: Climate Central, Princeton, N.J., USA;\nGuy Walton: The Weather Channel, Atlanta, GA, USA;\nDavid Easterling: National Climate Data Center, Asheville, NC, USA.Contact information for the authors:\nPeter Weiss | American Geophysical Union\nModeling magma to find copper\n13.01.2017 | Université de Genève\nWhat makes erionite carcinogenic?\n13.01.2017 | Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena\nAmong the general public, solar thermal energy is currently associated with dark blue, rectangular collectors on building roofs.

The study used data from the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15) field campaign, managed by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility.\n“One of the world’s largest reservoirs of aerosol particles is the high-altitude tropics.”\nAerosols serve as “seeds” from which clouds and, ultimately, rain form. “One of the world’s largest reservoirs of aerosol particles,” according to co-author Jerome Fast, “is the high-altitude tropics.” It was unclear how exactly such high concentrations of aerosols form above the Amazon Basin until lead author Bin Zhao and his team addressed the question in their study. The multi-institutional team found that naturally occurring emissions from the rainforest are driving the production of the particles.\nThe U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric System Research (ASR) funded this work via the Integrated Cloud, Land-Surface, and Aerosol System Study (ICLASS) Scientific Focus Area. Zhao and Fast, the principal investigator for ICLASS, are at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state.\nGoAmazon took place near the city of Manaus, Brazil, in the heart of the Amazon, from January 2014 through November 2015. The campaign sought to understand the effects of cloud-aerosol-precipitation interactions on aerosol and cloud life cycles in this tropical region.

Zhao explains that “ultrafine particles are considered to be no larger than about 100 nanometers,” or 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.\nThe team’s study integrated laboratory measurements, chemical transport modeling, and field measurements, especially ARM ground-based and aerial data from GoAmazon.\nNew particle formation from organic compounds (i.e., oxidation products of biogenic material released by trees) is, as Fast says, “the most complicated and least understood component of particle formation.” The team developed a comprehensive model representation of both temperature-dependent formation chemistry and thermodynamics of extremely low volatility organic compounds (compounds that more easily remain in the particle phase) to account for their roles in new particle formation.\nThe study revealed new particle formation by means of organic compounds as the main pathway for the large number of aerosols observed at high altitudes above the Amazon, where organic compounds facilitate the formation of new particles.\nDuring GoAmazon, the ARM Mobile Facility’s proximity to the heavily populated city of Manaus allowed for measurements of both the pristine Amazon environment and the city-polluted environment to be recorded. Zhao’s team leveraged this to establish a baseline for aerosol profiles observed during pristine, or preindustrial-like, conditions that are unique to the Amazon.

The global Aerosol Model Intercomparison project, AeroCom, has also been initiated in order to improve understanding of uncertainties of model estimates, and to reduce them (Kinne et al., 2003). These comparisons, combined with cloud observations, should result in improved confidence in the estimation of the aerosol direct and indirect radiative forcing (e.g., Ghan et al., 2001a,b; Lohmann and Lesins, 2002; Takemura et al., 2005). Interactive aerosol sub-component models have been incorporated in some of the climate models used in Chapter 10 (HadGEM1 and MIROC).

Such washes, interspersed with vast dunes, are typical of Titan's tropical landscape. Yet, Cassini-Huygens measurements reveal a highly stable tropical atmosphere devoid of deep convective storms, and the formation of washes in dune fields is not understood. Here we examine the effects of seasonal variations in humidity, surface heating, and dynamical forcing on the stability of Titan's troposphere. We find that during the probe landing, the middle troposphere was weakly unstable to convection, consistent with the tenuous cloud detected at 21 km. Yet the tropical atmosphere, at any season, is too stable to produce deep convective storms. Convection in the tropics remains weak and confined to altitudes below ∼30 km, unless the humidity is increased below 9 km altitude. Solar heating is insufficient to significantly humidify the tropical atmosphere. The large polar lakes are seasonably stable, and the methane column abundance measured by Huygens typical of the tropical atmosphere. Our study indicates the presence of distinct polar and equatorial climates.

Introduction to KMA operational forecasting system for rip current.\nA rip current, commonly referred to simply as a rip, is a strong channel of sea water flowing seaward from the near the shore, typically through the surf line. Rip currents can be found on the Haeundae Beach every year and make a very large number of rescues each year (106 in 2009, 144 in 2010 and 220 in 2012). The main reasons that it is present on the Haeundae Beach are the geographical factor, wide surf zone and mild slope, and meteorological factor, seasonal southern wind and normal waves. When waves travel normal from deep to shallow water, there is a greater than normal transport of wave energy into a surf zone which may result in an elevated rip current risk. Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) developed a rip current forecast system that considers bathymetric and meteorological effect through Research and Development program. The system is based on high resolution topography and uses wave direction, height and period of incident wave, tidal elevation and wind condition for operating. And boundary conditions are obtained by the Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System (RDAPS) and Coastal Wave Prediction System (CWW3), a weather forecasting system of the KMA. The rip current forecast system predicts a daily 72-hour current field. Additionally forecasters analyze hourly conditions which are wave height, wave period, wave direction and wind direction and then support cooperation organizations with a rip current information (safe, advisory, warning and danger).

Clouds, rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all part of the hydrosphere. Most water vapor that becomes precipitation is evaporated from the oceans, though smaller amounts also come from rivers, lakes, soil, and vegetation. The amount of precipitation an area receives greatly determines its climate. Desert areas receive very little precipitation, whereas rainforests receive a great deal of precipitation. In general, low pressure areas receive more precipitation while high pressure areas receive less precipitation. Another way that the lithosphere affects climate is its impact on precipitation levels. The shape of the lithosphere has a big influence on which areas receive precipitation. Look at Figure 4.3.2; the map shows precipitation levels in the US. Use the legend to find the areas that receive the most rain. On the east side of the country, notice how far inland the precipitation levels remain relatively high. Now look at the western side of the country. The northwest coast receives a significant amount of rain, but the pattern does not extend very far inland. What do you think explains this? One large factor is the mountainous nature of the western US.\nDeserts are often caused by the orographic effect, which is the cooling effect that happens when air is forced to rise so that it can go over a mountain. As the air rises, the water vapor condenses and precipitation occurs. This means all of the water gets dumped on one side of the mountain, creating a humid environment, and by the time the air reaches the other side of the mountain it no longer has any water vapor left in it. This creates a desert.\nLook at Figure 4.3.2 again. Notice how there is a dividing line down the continent where the dry desert air meets the humid air coming up from the Gulf of Mexico. The terrain across the central plains slopes downward from the Rocky Mountains towards the east. This slope makes a nice corridor for the dry air coming off the mountains to flow east. To the south, the Gulf of Mexico produces moist air that flows north. When the dry and moist air meet, a boundary line forms. It is along this line that a perfect environment sometimes exists for the creation of tornadoes. The area is often called Tornado Alley. There are more tornados in the US than anywhere else in the world because it has the right combination of terrain, water, and wind currents.\nThis climate is found in the mountains of the midlatitudes. The highland climates are cool to cold, depending on the altitude; the higher the altitude, the colder the temperature. The highlands have the same seasons and the same wet and dry periods as the general area that they are located in. For instance, the mountains in desert areas receive little rain, and the mountains in humid areas receive a lot of rain. When it is winter in Utah, it is winter in the High Uintas (a wilderness area southeast of Salt Lake City), and when it is summer in Utah the temperature warms up in the High Uintas.

They evaluated data documenting global temperature over the past 66 million years. These ancient climate records include ice cores from Antarctica and the chemistry of prehistoric marine fossils, which tell us a lot about what Earth’s atmosphere was like in the distant past.\n“This entire study is only possible because there have been great strides in improving the accuracy of deep-sea temperature records,” she said. He said Arnscheidt. “Now we have data going back 66 million years, with data points separated by thousands of years at most.”\nConnect and release\nDuring the analysis, a pattern emerged from the data indicating the occurrence of feedback loops that allow the Earth to maintain climate within a certain range of fluctuations over the long term. Despite very different influences, some of which had a significant effect on the Earth’s surface and atmosphere, these stabilizing mechanisms ensured that conditions always remained within the range that would allow life.\nFor example, a very long time ago, the Sun was less powerful than it is today, and only an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide produced enough greenhouse effects to prevent the planet from becoming a giant ice ball. However, much of the carbon was then pulled out of the air by silicate weathering. On the other hand, large volcanic eruptions caused the concentration to rise again and again. In addition, there are many other influences that have a regulatory effect, so although there were obvious climatic changes, they did not threaten life as a whole.\nHowever, feedback loops operate over longer periods of time. So it is in keeping with climate changes that occur naturally and take thousands of years to complete. In this respect, they have no effect on man-made changes in the global climate, which have caused temperatures to rise dramatically in a matter of decades.", "label": "Yes"} +{"text": "More than one in three Americans live in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution, according to a recent report by the American Lung Association. The State of the Air 2023 analyzed particle and ozone pollution nationwide.\nAlmost 36 percent of Americans (119.6 million people) live in areas with failing grades for ozone or particle pollution levels. Around half a million more people lived in counties that earned an “F” for unhealthy increases in particulate air pollution. That is more than in any of the last eight reports. Seven of the 25 cities ranking high for fine particulate pollution posted their highest-ever average number of days with unhealthy levels. Nearly 18.8 Americans live in counties where year-round particle pollution levels do not meet the national air quality standard.\nThere is some good news. The number of Americans living in counties with failing grades for ozone decreased by over 19 million this year. A total of 39 counties in 23 states move off the “F” grade list. Eight states completely left the list. The number of counties with an “A” increased by 26 percent. There are 17.6 million fewer people living in counties with particle or ozone pollution than last year’s report due to decreasing ozone levels in many areas in the nation. Yet, it is not all good news. The number of people living in counties with failing grades for particle pollution was 63.7 million, the most reported under the national standard. Fewer counties got an F for ozone smog–less than any in the history of the State of the Air.\nAir Pollution: East vs. West\nThere is a big divide between Eastern and Western cities regarding air pollution. In 2004, when short-term particle pollution was added to the report, 44 of the 106 counties with failing grades in the West. This year, all but eight of the 111 counties with an “F” are in the West. The results are similar for year-round particle pollution. In 2004, 20 of the 22 counties with a failing grade were in the West. In 2023, all of the 17 failing counties are in the West.\nMost cities on the most ozone-polluted list were in the West and the Southwest. California had the most cities on the list. The rest of the cities were in the Southwest except New York, Chicago, and Hartford. Those three cities were the only ones on the list east of the Mississippi River. Over the past seven reports, nearly all cities on the list are in the West, with a few in the East.\nOnly two cities on the short-term particle pollution list were not in the West. Cities in California’s Central Valley topped the list, with Bakersfield and Visalia tied for the number two spot and Fresno in the second spot. The average number of days cities ranked the worst 25 experienced high short-term particle pollution levels increased by almost two days.\nClimate change is the reason for the disparity between the East and West, which caused higher summer temperatures and drought.

In general though, extremes are rare in Bremen and temperatures below −15 °C (5.0 °F) and above 35 °C (95.0 °F) occur only once every couple of years. The record high temperature was 37.6 °C (99.7 °F) on 9 August 1992, while the official record low temperature was −23.6 °C (−10.5 °F) on 13 February 1940. On 13 October 2018, Bremen recorded its warmest October day on record with 28.6 °C (83.4 °F). However, the astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers reported to have measured −27,3 °C on 23. January 1823. Being at some distance from the main North Sea, Bremen still has a somewhat wider temperature range than Bremerhaven that is located on the mouth of Weser.\nAverage temperatures have risen continually over the last decades, leading to a 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) rise in the mean annual temperature between 1961–90 and 1981–2010 reference periods. As in most parts of Germany, the year 2014 has been the warmest year on record averaging 11.1 °C (52.0 °F), making Bremen the second-warmest German state after Berlin in 2014. While Bremen is located in the comparatively cloudy northwestern part of Germany, there has been a significant increase in average sunshine hours over the last decades, especially in the months of April, May, and July, causing the annual mean to rise by 62 hours between the two reference periods mentioned above. This trend has continued over the last 10 years, which average 1614 hours of sunshine, a good 130 hours more than in the international reference period of 1961–90. Nevertheless, especially the winters remain extremely gloomy by international standards with December averaging hardly more than one hour of sunshine (out of 7 astronomically possible) per day, a feature that Bremen shares with most of Germany and its neighbouring countries, though.\nPrecipitation is distributed fairly even around the year with a small peak in summer mainly due to convective precipitation, i.e. showers and thunderstorms. Snowfall and the period of snow cover are variable; whereas in some years, hardly any snow accumulation occurs, there has recently been a series of unusually snowy winters, peaking in the record year 2010 counting 84 days with a snow cover. Nevertheless, snow accumulation of more than 20 centimetres (8 in) remains exceptional, the record being 68 centimetres (26.8 in) of snow on 18 February 1979.\nThe warmest months in Bremen are June, July, and August, with average high temperatures of 20.2 to 22.6 °C (68.4 to 72.7 °F).

She says it could have “a drastic impact”.\nTilmes modelled two different scenarios: one in which “large” particles measuring 0.43 microns in diameter are used, and one where the particles are two-and-a-half times smaller.\nSulphate particles catalyse the breakdown of ozone molecules by chlorine atoms. Western economies have almost entirely stopped using chlorine-based coolants called CFCs, thanks to the Montreal Protocol. However, such substances are increasingly being used in Asia and the atmosphere is still full of CFCs emitted during the 20th century.\nIn January 2008, researchers described how much of each type of sulphate particle would need to be injected into the stratosphere in order to compensate for a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2007GL032179). Tilmes used these volumes in her computer models.\nShe found that injections of small particles over the next 20 years could thin the wintertime ozone layer over the Arctic by between 22 and 76%. Large particles, which would have less of a cooling effect, according to previous research, would still reduce Arctic ozone by 15 to 50% during the winter.\nIn the Antarctic, the injections would delay the recovery of the existing ozone hole by 30 to 70 years.\nA thinner ozone layer – popularly known as an ozone “hole” – lets more UV rays through, which can cause an increase in the incidence of various cancers. According to NASA, a 1% decrease in the ozone layer can cause an estimated 2% increase in UV-B irradiation, leading to a 4% increase in basal carcinomas – the most common form of skin cancer.\nIn 2007, Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in the US found that if a sulphate sunshield were deployed and then removed – for instance because of a change in governments – the effects of global warming after the removal would be far worse than before the sunshield.\nCaldeira has also found that a sunshade could cause severe drought.\nJournal reference: Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1153966)\nClimate Change – Want to know more about global warming – the science, impacts and political debate?

However, the drought is a distant memory for much of the central and eastern corn belt, with only the western corn belt and HRW wheat belt still seeing some impacts of that drought.\nHowever, the cold and relatively wet weather recently has melted even some of those concerns away. It's just hard to develop a drought when temps are 10-15 degrees below normal!\nWe are coming on the third week of consistently cold temperatures across the US growing region, and we still have cold temps forecast for the coming 2 week period as well. That is having an impact on the spring outlook, with less corn acres likely as we encounter planting delays, and potentially more soybean acres than the report due out next week might indicate (which was a survey as of March 1 - before the cold snap began).\nThis cold weather, if it translates into late planting, could reduce the yield potential of grains (especially corn) and the acreage of corn if the delays continue into April - the prime planting month for corn. If we plant less than normal corn during April, that means the 'trend' yields forecast for corn country may not happen. And the entire expected acreage of corn may shift somewhat into soybeans. So the late planting is most bullish the corn market.\nHowever, the late planting in 2013 might not translate into bullish news for all commodities. Wheat might benefit from cold temps into late spring as it means wheat (a cool season crop) will be allowed to develop in cool temps (recall soil moisture is also in deficit yet in many winter wheat states). The combination of cool weather and seasonable precip amounts could improve winter wheat prospects considerably.\nSoybean acreage also could rise due to a cold spring, as any acreage not planted to corn on time could rotate to soybeans. There is still time for the later planting season to come around to better planting conditions, so the soybean crop could still produce trend yields or better with the right combination of rain and heat during summer.\nSo the weather this spring so far is likely bullish corn prices, but more neutral to bearish for wheat and soybeans. Of course, it is still early but so far the weather is lining up to create a more friendly atmosphere for new crop corn prices, and potentially a more bearish atmosphere for wheat and soybeans. Will long corn/short wheat spreads work in the near term? That might be likely as long as the weather remains cool and wet to start the spring!\nThis material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of Progressive Ag Marketing, Inc. and is, or is in the nature of, a solicitation.

It is because of latent heat. The heat given to the system is spared for phase transition of water. The heat given to the system is absorbed as latent heat.\nWhen water boils its temperature a remains the same B first increases and then decreases C decreases D increases?\nSo, during phase change there is no increase or decrease in temperature and the heat supplies is use as latent heat of vaporization. Option (C) is correct. Therefore, the temperature remains same when water boils.\nWhat happens to temperature of water while it is boiling?\nWhen boiling occurs, the more energetic molecules change to a gas, spread out, and form bubbles. These rise to the surface and enter the atmosphere. … Therefore the temperature of the liquid remains constant during boiling. For example, water will remain at 100ºC while boiling.\nWhen you boil water Why does the level of liquid decrease?\nThe vapor pressure of a liquid lowers the amount of pressure exerted on the liquid by the atmosphere. As a result, liquids with high vapor pressures have lower boiling points.\nCan water boil at 200 degrees?\nSea Level: Water boils at 212 degrees F. and simmers at 190 degrees F. … Simmer– 185 to 200 degrees F.\nIs steam hotter than boiling water?\nThe steam is no hotter than the water but it contains more usable heat energy per gram, and it can release that heat as it encounters a cooler medium and makes the phase-change back to water.\nWhy doesn’t the temperature of water change when it boils?\nAt the boiling point, temperature no longer rises with heat added because the energy is once again being used to break intermolecular bonds. Once all water has been boiled to steam, the temperature will continue to rise linearly as heat is added.\nWhen water boils its temperature class 9?\nAt an atmospheric pressure of exactly 760mm Hg (1 atm), the temperature at which a liquid boils is called the normal boiling point of the liquid. For water, the vapour pressure reaches the standard atmospheric pressure of 1 atmosphere at 100°C. So the normal boiling point of water is 100°C (212°F or 373K).\nWhy is the constant temperature of boiling water on a hot stove evidence that boiling is a cooling process?\nIt gives kinetic energy to molecules and water molecules start moving faster and converted to vapor phase with rise in a temperature to boiling point. The atmospheric pressure, here allows the vapors to condense again and change into water (liquid phase). This is the evidence that the boiling is a cooling process.\nWhat happens to the powder when water starts to boil?\nAnswer Professional Verified\nThe liquid turns into gas when a water temperature reaches it boiling point. And if the fluid has any powder on it, the powder molecules will mix up to the water and the water will take the color and taste of the powder.\nWhat is the temperature of boiling water after 2 minutes?\nAfter boiling a cup of water, I recorded its temperature every minute for thirty minutes.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "The Prime Minister is to be asked to intervene to save Plymouth City Airport, even if that means nationalising it to stop it from being redeveloped.\nCouncillors today voted overwhelmingly in favour of calls to make it a national asset.

While there are many great products on the market today that clean the air and improve indoor air quality remarkably well, there are just as many that fall far short of their promise. Clean, breathable air is a hot topic nowadays. Retailers and marketers are definitely aware of this fact, and many of them are trying to cash in on the health craze that's been prompted by the revelation that dirty air can have serious repercussions for one's health and well being.\nUV Air Purifiers: What Are They?\nAccording to the University of Pennsylvania Environmental Health and Safety department, UV air purifiers fall short of actually providing health benefits for the people who use them. UV air purifiers use ultraviolet rays of light to neutralize biological contaminants. There is no question whatsoever that ultraviolet light can, indeed, destroy many offensive microbes. UV light can destroy things like dust mites, mold spores and other types of bacteria. Therefore, UV air purifiers are marketed and advertised as doing exactly that; when people use these machines, they think the air in their home is getting cleaner - but it's not.\nUV Air Purifiers Problems\nThere's no question that ultraviolet light can neutralize and destroy many types of bacteria and other contaminants - as long as it's given an ample amount of time to do so. The problem with UV air purifiers, though, is that they run the air through far too quickly and the UV light doesn't get enough time to really perform its task. The air gets circulated in, is briefly zapped, and is circulated back out again - usually with the same levels of contaminants as it had in the first place. If you use a UV air purifier, you're not really making a dramatic impact on the indoor air quality of your home.\nUV Air Purifiers Potential Dangers\nAs if their ineffectiveness wasn't concerning enough, certain studies have shown that UV air purifiers may actually make the air in your home less healthy than it was in the first place. How? By introducing harmful ozone to it. Indeed, it appears that ozone is often a byproduct of the process behind which UV air purifiers work. Considering that, then, it seems that while a small percentage of bacteria is eliminated, it's being replaced with ozone which can seriously jeopardize your health.\nHEPA Air Purifiers: A Smart Alternative to UV Air Purifiers\nThe report issued by the University of Pennsylvania clearly notes that unless a UV air purifier includes a filter and a fan, it is basically useless. This same report states that by a wide margin, HEPA air purifiers are the most effective way to make the air in your home clean. HEPA filters are the gold standard of air purification systems today, and HEPA air purifiers are head and shoulders above UV air purifiers. HEPA technology genuinely removes up to 99.97% of airborne contaminants, making the air in your home wonderfully safe and much healthier to boot. Unlike UV air purifiers, HEPA air purifiers do not produce any harmful byproducts like ozone. The whole purpose of buying an air purifier is to make the air in your home safe and clean, so it makes sense to use a product that will actually do that.\nBuy a HEPA Air Purifier from Clean Air Plus\nAtClean Air Plus, we don't carry UV air purifiers because we know that they don't work.

That tropical rainforest's climate is as much a part of the experience of Angkor as the ruins are. The steamy, sticky climate is as bad or worse than the most sweltering summer weather in Louisiana or Florida. Compensating for that oppressive climate is a key element in any visit to Angkor Wat.\nThe monsoons in Cambodia last from May to October. A visitor to Siem Reap at this time can expect a torrential late morning or early afternoon downpour on most days, lasting for one or two hours. Even in the wettest months, though, it doesn't rain every day, and after the daily storm, the overcast skies often break into a moderately sunny, partly cloudy day. The monsoons bring the hottest, most humid weather of the year to Siem Reap, with daytime highs from the upper 80s to the mid-90s Fahrenheit. The high heat and humidity make visiting the forested ruins of Angkor during this period akin to standing in a steam bath.\nMonsoon Season Planning\nBecause it rains almost every day during the monsoons, visitors to Angkor Wat must pack rain gear and dress appropriately. The intensity of the rain makes an umbrella only partially effective, and rain jackets are too hot for the local climate, so a light poncho or something similar is the best choice. Unless you can find adequate shelter during the daily downpour, your shoes will be soaked, so quick-drying sandals are a sensible footwear choice.\nVisitors should carry bottled water and guard against dehydration and heat stroke. You might also want to rise early and start your day in the Angkor archaeological park when it opens to take advantage of the relatively cooler morning hours.\nDry Season Climate\nThe dry season in Cambodia runs from November to April. The temperatures are the same as during the wet season, peaking with daytime highs in the mid-90s in April. The difference is that the humidity is somewhat lower, and it rains much less frequently. November still sees roughly nine rainy days, as the monsoons draw to a close, but January sees on average only one day of rain. The results are clear skies and with them strong tropical sun.\nDry Season Planning\nEven during the dry season, the weather is still hot and humid by American standards, so dehydration and heat-related illnesses remain a serious hazard. Visitors to Angkor Wat must still carry bottled water with them at all times. The strong sun adds the risk of sunburn into the equation. Visitors should wear sun hats, and either apply sunblock to their forearms and other exposed parts or wear light, loose clothing that covers most of their bodies.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "- March 21, 2023\n- Posted by: OptimizeIAS Team\n- Category: DPN Topics\nSubject : Geography\n- Equinox today (March 21) marks the end of winter in northern and summer in southern hemisphere.\nAbout Equinoxes (Vernal & Autumnal)\n- The word equinox is derived from two Latin words – aequus (equal) and nox (night).\n- There are only two times of the year when the Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, which results in a nearly equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes.\n- The equinoxes happen in March (about March 21) and September (about September 23) on these days the Sun is exactly above the Equator\n- The equator and places near the equator experience nearly 12 hours of the day and 12 hours of the night.\n- The phenomenon occurs due to the Earth’s axial tilt, or the angle by which the planet is tilted relative to the Sun.\n- The imaginary axis of our planet is not straight up and down but is tilted by 23.5 degrees.\n- This is why different regions of the Earth experience different measures of sunlight.\n- The days become a little longer at the higher latitudes (those at a distance from the equator) because it takes the sun longer to rise and set.\n- The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with seasons, harvests and livelihood.\n- Therefore, many cultures celebrate various combinations of the solstices, the equinoxes, and the midpoints between them, leading to various holidays arising around these events.\nSolstices (Summer & Winter)\n- The two solstices happen in June (20 or 21) and December (21 or 22). These are the days when the Sun’s path in the sky is the farthest north or south from the Equator.\n- In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the start of summer, this is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, and the Sun’s rays are directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer.\n- The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer which is located at 23.5° latitude North and for every place north of the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is at its highest point in the sky and this is the longest day of the year.\n- The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at 23.5° south of the equator.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Alfonso Pablo Rosabal Edit Profile\nBachelor of Science, Civil Engineering, United States Air Force Academy, 1993; postgraduate, Boston University, since 1994.\nSecond in command Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 1993; advanced through grades to Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 1995; software program manager, ESC/École Normale Supérieure, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, since 1993.\nCounselor Big Brothers Program, Hanscom Air Force Base, since 1994.

One is to spot cool a warm item as fast as possible. The other is to chill an item to as low a temperature as possible. Because these are very different requirements, different Vortex Tube configurations exist to handle each.\nFor those applications of spot cooling, we recommend the 3200 series of Vortex Tubes. They are designed to be most efficient at providing maximum refrigeration, which is a function of high cold air flow rate and moderate temperature differential of the cold air to the warm item.\nAnd for those applications of chilling an item to a very low temperature at low flow rate , we recommend the 3400 series of Vortex Tubes. They are designed to be most efficient at providing maximum cold air temperatures, but with a lower cold air flow rate.\nAn important parameter for the Vortex Tubes is the Cold Fraction. By adjusting the hot valve on a vortex tube, the amount of air that is discharged through the cold end changes. When expressed as a percentage of the total compressed air that is supplied to the vortex tube, we get the Cold Fraction. For example, if the hot valve is adjusted so that for every 10 parts of compressed air supplied, we get 7 parts of cold air, then we have a 70% Cold Fraction. When you know the Cold fraction setting and the compressed air supply pressure, you can use the Vortex Tube Performance tables and get the cold air discharge temperature.\nUsing the table below left, at 100 PSIG compressed air pressure and a 70% Cold Fraction, we can expect the cold air discharge temperature drop to be 71°F. With 70 ° compressed air temperature, the cold air will be at -1°F.\nThe 3200 series of Vortex Tubes are for use in the 50-80% Cold Fraction range, and the model 3400 series is designed for use in the 20-50% Cold Fraction ranges, to maximize the performance of each.\nIn summary, the selection of the Vortex Tube that best meets the application needs is based on the desired cold air flow rate, and the temperature of air desired. Once these are known, using the tables can provide the information needed to select the best option.\nFor those applications where we are unsure what will work best, we offer the EXAIR Cooling Kits, that include a Vortex Tube (small, medium, or large) and an array of Generators, to allow the configuration of the full range of Vortex Tubes within each size family.\n- Model 3908 – Small Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3202, 3204, 3208, and 3402, 3404, 3408\n- Model 3930 – Medium Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3210, 3215, 3225, 3230, 3240, and 3410, 3415, 3425, 3430, 3440\n- Model 3998 – Large Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3250, 3275, 3298, 3299, and models 3450, 3475, 3498, 3499\nIf you have questions about Vortex Tubes or any of the 16 different EXAIR Intelligent Compressed Air® Product lines, feel free to contact EXAIR and myself or any of our Application Engineers can help you determine the best solution.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Peak Bloom & Blooming Period\nWhen is peak bloom?\nThe peak bloom date is defined as the day when 70% of the Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) blossoms are open.

For fast and cost efficient on-site cooling, SIAD provides carbon dioxide snow dispensers which can be adapted to virtually any equipment where temperature control is vital.\nCarbon dioxide chilling has been used for many years in a variety of applications in the baking industry, where speed of chilling together with precise temperature control is important.\nCarbon dioxide snow or liquid nitrogen not only preserve the integrity of ingredients such as butter and fats during the production of dough, but also eliminate greasiness while retaining elasticity, thus allowing the products to rise in a consistly uniform manner over time.\nOne of the biggest problems facing meat processors is the heat produced during processing, especially in the mixing and grinding cycles, and its adverse effects.\nThe use of carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen helps to control product quality through more accurate temperature control and to retain the natural colour of the meat, as well as the right level of humidity during the entire working process.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Corian - rain Cloud.

Friday brought colder temps and more ducks ahead of the nasty storm that dumped almost a foot of snow over much of the upper Midwest.

Overnight oil markets rose.\nIn spite of supportive weather conditions, analysts are pointing to Tuesday’s failure as a sign that the market is going to need much more help than weather can offer if it is going to punch through $2.00.\n“The natural gas futures market came under selling pressure on Tuesday after failing to clear Monday’s price high, calling attention to the limited support of cooler than normal temperatures that will boost late-season heating demand over the coming week,” said Tim Evans of Citi Futures Perspective in closing comments.\nShort-term traders suggested that a quick bail by recent longs playing the run higher may have also prompted May’s demise, but Evans was looking at traders exiting ahead of Thursday’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) storage report. Evans said the early consensus is running at a 5 to 10 Bcf injection, “with a bearish comparison with the 19 Bcf five-year average net withdrawal for the date.”\nEvans forecasts a build of 13 Bcf, and if his data is correct, the current year-on-five-year surplus of 843 Bcf would fall to 799 Bcf by April 15. “With the surplus ending the forecast period at a lower level than it started, we see this as confirming the market will become at least somewhat tighter on a seasonally adjusted basis than it has been. This gives the market at least a chance to move higher, although it may not be enough to wedge the price above $2.00.”\nEvans recommends standing aside the market until a low-risk opportunity can be identified.\nMay futures may be discounting any significant weather impact, but spot traders in eastern markets will have some active weather and cooler temperatures to deal with.\nThe National Weather Service reported Wednesday morning that “a low-pressure system will move across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes today, bringing rain and snow to those regions.\n“In its wake, another round of cold temperatures will invade areas from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Scattered rain and snow showers will persist across the Midwest and Great Lakes on Thursday as colder air moves in, and the same will hold true for the eastern U.S. on Thursday night and Friday. While temperatures will remain 5 to 10 degrees below average today across the East, the colder air mass arriving behind this front will result in temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below average for Thursday and Friday across a wide area from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic.”\nIn overnight Globex trading May crude oil gained 89 cents to $36.78/bbl and May RBOB gasoline rose a penny to $1.3860/gal.\n© 2020 Natural Gas Intelligence.

The air booster pump is used in the working environment where the original air pressure system needs to increase the pressure. It can increase the air pressure of the working system to 2-5 times, only the compressed air in the working system can be used as the air source. The pump is suitable for single air source pressurization. ATO provides professional high-quality gas booster pumps as follows, which will describe their advantages and disadvantages.\nAdvantages of Air Pressure Booster\n- Energy saving is remarkable: the biggest feature of ATO air pressurizer is energy saving. Compared with the air pressure booster, the air booster pump only needs to provide driving air source, and does not need to consume electricity to help the user plant save costs. At the same time, when the air booster pump reaches the predetermined pressure, it will stop working automatically, and the consumption will be zero.\n- Stable air pressure: because the pneumatic air booster pump adopts single air control non-equilibrium gas distribution valve to realize the reciprocating movement of the pump, it can start slowly, and can adjust the response quickly in the case of large fluctuation of gas consumption. This is our company pneumatic booster pump non-polar regulation of high-quality performance.\n- Low operating noise: compared with ordinary high-pressure compressed air compressor, air pressurizer has small vibration and low noise, and is suitable for more occasions.\n- Price: compared with the expensive high-pressure compressed air compressor before, pneumatic air booster pump can be said to help customers reduce more than half of the cost.\n- Can achieve constant pressure air supply: pneumatic air booster pump can work in a wide range of exhaust volume. According to the actual gas consumption, the real-time automatic adjustment, control the exhaust gas. How much gas is used to produce, and when the gas consumption is low, it can also make the air booster pump sleep automatically, greatly reducing the energy loss.\n- Maintenance is simple and maintenance cost is low: in most cases if the air-driven air booster pump can not work normally, it is basically a problem with the sealing ring. As long as the new sealing ring is replaced, it can work normally. Even the international high sealing ring, compared with a pneumatic booster pump, the price is very low.\n- Flexible application: air pressurizer has various models, which can be selected according to the proportion and flow of pressurization required by customers. At this point, saisent will try to help the customer.\n- Volume and weight: light weight, small volume, easy to carry\nWow, there are so many advantages of the air booster pump. But it is not to be ignored that the air booster pump has some disadvantages. Let's look at the following:\nDisadvantages of Air Pressure Booster\n- Flow: the air booster pump may provide relatively low flow compared to the electric booster pump. When the customer factory actually needs a large air supply flow and the actual situation of the factory does not support multiple parallel pneumatic booster pumps to build a parallel pneumatic booster system, the intention of both parties cannot be reached.\n- Need to drive air source: what does the pneumatic air booster pump mean? That is to say, it is driven by gas, that is to say, it needs a certain air source to work, which may not be available for some customers.\n- Gas consumption: the gas consumption is mainly determined by the reciprocating times per minute of the piston of the driving cylinder of the booster pump. In case of inconvenient supply pressure, the reciprocating times of the pump depend on the large or small discharge gas pressure. The cessant booster pump does not work properly when the air supply provided by the customer's factory is not enough to drive the air-driven air booster pump.\n- The common problem of pneumatic booster pump: air pressure booster is a device for pressurization and pressure regulation of \"air\" medium, and mixing of other gases is not recommended. If other gases need to be pressurized and stabilized, it is recommended to purchase another gas booster pump such as nitrogen booster pump, hydrogen booster pump, oxygen booster pump, etc, otherwise, the purity of gas may be affected.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Alternative Title: Acadian Forest\nLearn about this topic in these articles:\nNorth American flora and fauna\nAlso known as the Acadian forest in Canada, the Eastern Upland forest covers much of the central and northern Appalachians and New England; there, polar continental air is pronounced, while elevation modifies the tropical maritime winds.

These things reach equilibrium pretty slowly, over a couple of hours, or so. So, unless there is a steady stream of CO2 mist bubbles gathering under the \"horn\" of the device, then dumping their remaining CO2 into the air gap, all that should happen is that the indicator will \"overshoot\" the true CO2 value, but settle down to an accurate reading eventually. If the ppm of CO2 in the bulb of the device is above that in the water, the CO2 will migrate back to the tank water.I thought of a situation where these drop checkers could potentially indicate a higher concentration of CO2 than is in the tank, when using a CO2 mist application.\nSuppose the mist bubbles accumulate a little pocket of CO2 in the air chamber of the drop checker. If these bubbles are accumulating faster than they can dissolve, there will be an artificially higher concentration of CO2 in that little air pocket than in the rest of the tank. Since the little chamber of water in the drop checker is very small, the CO2 levels will become in equilibrium with the air pocket a lot faster than with the tank.\nA way to test this hypothesis would be to surround the drop checker with a shield that prevents the mist bubbles from entering the chamber and seeing if the indicated CO2 level changes.\nI think the problem can best be avoided by choosing a good location to mount the device - where there is good water circulation, and at the opposite end of the tank from any mist generation. Those CO2 micro bubbles can't exist for very long in the water, before the CO2 diffuses into the water, leaving a microbubble of other gases. So, I suspect that most of the bubbles are \"inert\" by the time they are swirling around the opposite end of the tank.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Tuesday 13 March 2012: Lenten Rose\nAfter our almost non-existent winter, Spring is coming early this year, which is going to be helped on by unseasonably high temperatures this coming week - with highs in the 70s F and overnight lows in the 50s (which should be the normal high!).

In this paper the effect of temperature and crude oil nature on the reversibility of asphaltene precipitation has been studied. Asphaltene precipitation and re-dissolution has been investigated at temperatures 25°C, 65ºC and 95°C for two different crude oils. Results showed that asphaltene precipitation decreases with temperature increase. Results indicated that asphaltene precipitation is a partially reversible process with respect to temperature change. According to the results asphaltene precipitation is more reversible with respect to temperature change for crude oil A than crude oil B. The aromatic portion of asphaltene molecule is responsible for asphaltene aggregation and precipitation. Therfore, for asphaltene A with lower aromatic portion, the strength of attraction forces between asphaltene molecules is lower and asphaltene precipitation is more reversible.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "My 2002 blows warm air when the rpm goes down significantly (when I don't clutch)\nHeatstrips could be on with ac\nThe rear air conditioner of a Sienna will begin to blow warm air if the vent is incorrectly set.

The winter solstice will occur at 12:30 a.m. EST (05:30 GMT), when the sun will be passing over the Tropic of Capricorn. Solstice is a staying of the sun‘s apparent motion over the latitudes of the Earth. During summer solstice, the sun stops its northward motion and begins heading south. While during winter solstice, it turns north. Sun crosses the equator at the vernal equinox, passing into the Northern Hemisphere on March 20, at 1:14 a.m. EDT (or on March 19 for those living in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones). Every year on June 20, the altitude of the midday sun is lowering and its direct rays are migrating to the south.\nOn those summer days, the sun‘s altitude above the horizon at noontime is 47 degrees higher than it is now. From ancient times people were following the motion of the sun. At that time people were thinking that the sun machinery might break down someday, and the sun would continue southward, never to return. The lowering of the sun was causing fear and wonder. When the ancients saw the sun stop and slowly climb to a higher midday location, they were expecting the spring is getting back. Many cultures of the world had sun solstice celebrations. In Persia, the solstice marked the birthday of Mithra, the Sun King. In ancient times, Dec. 25 was the date of the great Roman festival of Saturnalia, which celebrated around the time of the winter sun solstice. And in 275 A.D., the Roman Emperor, Aurelian, commemorated a feast day coinciding with the winter solstice: Die Natalis Invicti Solis (“The Birthday of the Unconquered Sun“).\nNASA Leads Study of Arctic Ozone Layer\nMoon Shadow Creates Waves in Earth Atmosphere\nToshiba Camera Detect Radiation Hotspots\nSolar Paint Turns Any Surface Into Solar Cell\nResearchers Discovered Microbial Oasis Beneath Atacama Desert\nAstronomers are witnessing Planet Forming Inside Gas Cloud Surrounding the Star HD 10056\nAmericans Become More Anxious This Year than 2017, Politics Is One of the Reasons\nScientists Name the Largest Bird Ever as Vorombe Titan", "label": "No"} +{"text": "28 Feb 2012\nThe bazaar is closed, but the cult needs members…\n24 Feb 2012\nNumber station broadcast 4/12\n21 Feb 2012\nWhat is a Hacker?

The agency also projected that Henry Hub spot prices would average $2.95 in 2021, which is up from the 2020 average of $2.03.\nContinued growth in liquefied natural gas exports and in domestic natural gas consumption outside of the electric power sector, as well as relatively flat production, are seen contributing to Henry Hub spot prices rising to an average of $3.27 in 2022.\nThe current price action suggests the more bearish undertone in the market is likely because the upcoming rush of cold polar air already has been priced into the market. After all, it has been showing up in the forecasts for more than a week.

The main trend will change to down on a move through $2.734 with $2.663 to $2.570 the next likely target zone.\nA sustained move over $2.794 will signal the return of buyers, but don’t expect the rally to resume unless they can overcome $2.918 with conviction.\nFor a look at all of today’s economic events, check out our economic calendar.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Tag: Air India\nHow Air India went into a nosedive\nLink Legal advised Air India in its strategic disinvestment\nTata Group wins competitive bid for acquiring entire company including wholly-owned subsidiary Air India Express and 50% stake in Air India SATS\nWhat ails Air India\nAir India defies Coronaviris threat: will continue flights to China\nAlready have a WordPress.com account?

Despite the cool temperatures, there are also fewer people visiting tourist spots, and prices tend to drop during this season.\nWhat is the hottest country in March?\nOn average, some of the hottest places to visit in March are:\n- Cancun (34.2 °C)\n- Phuket (33.3 °C)\n- Barbados (29.7 °C)\n- Dominican Republic (29.3 °C)\n- Cuba (27.5 °C)\n- Cape Verde (25.7 °C)\n- Fuerteventura (22.5 °C)\n- Tenerife (22.3 °C)\nIs it good to visit Cappadocia in March?\nMarch in Cappadocia seems to bring more wind to the region than any other month of the year. Some days can be cloudy, other days can be clear blue skies and the weather in Cappadocia can change dramatically in this month, so if you are looking at March as the best time to visit Cappadocia, keep that in mind.\nIs there snow in Cappadocia in March?\nThe weather in Cappadocia in March is very cold with Temperatures between 28°F and 50°F. Cappadocia should expect an average of 15 to 22 days of rain, so be sure to bring along a waterproof jacket to stay dry this month! Cappadocia is going to experience quite a number of days of snow during March.\nDoes it snow in Cappadocia in March?\nThe average minimum temperature (usually the minimum temperature is noted during the night) in Cappadocia in March is -1.0°C (30.2°F). The amount of rain/snow in March is normal with an average of 42mm (1.7in). Bring a thick blanket because during the night it can cool down to temperatures below freezing.\nHow many days do you need in Cappadocia?\nCappadocia is a beautiful region that we loved visiting on our Turkey itinerary.

Our goal is to identify differences in DOC and its mobilization processes between steep hillslopes and riparian zones and between different precipitation events. We hypothesize that different antecedent hydrological conditions and the topographical position influence sources of DOC and mobilization processes.\nMaterial and Methods\nWe continuously measured absorption from 200 to 750 nm via UV-Vis spectrometry at two sampling sites at a small stream (riparian zone and steep hillslope). We used the absorption values to investigate the ratio of A254 and A365 and the specific DOC concentration normalized UV absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254) during three large precipitation events with different antecedent hydrological conditions.\nThe A254/A365 ratio values usually fluctuated between 2 and 5. However, the variation of the ratio values was more pronounced during the event following dry hydrological conditions than the one following wet hydrological conditions and less pronounced at the hillslopes than at the riparian zone. SUVA254 values at the steep hillslope sampling site were close to 3 L/(mg m) and did not vary greatly during rain events. This stands in contrast to the riparian zone sampling site where SUVA254 values reached 12 L/(mg m) and showed a clear variation during precipitation events. This variation was also more pronounced during the precipitation event following dry hydrological conditions than the one following wet hydrological conditions.\nThe change of DOC quality parameters during events indicates a change of DOC sources or flowpaths. Our results suggest that mechanisms influencing the mobilization of DOC differ between the riparian zone and the hillslopes.

's gas supply system efficiency according to the survey, most of the plants are low, there is a device does not match, the \"big horse-drawn cart\" phenomenon, line loss is big, system leakage and improper system control.\n1.1 Energy saving principle of variable frequency conversion\nThe use of variable frequency speed regulation system can solve the energy waste problem of the gas supply system. The system is composed of pressure sensor, PLC, PID, frequency converter, etc., which can be used to regulate the speed of motor. Variable frequency speed regulation system with the output pressure as the object, by the pressure sensor to measure the feedback signal to the PID regulator compared with preset pressure for a given signal, after the PID of the integrated signal receiving frequency converter input side, given that according to the amount of pressure changes in the size decide the working frequency of the motor and rotational speed, and realize automatic adjustment. System have dormancy control function, when the low efficiency of air-jet loom drive, gas, air compressor discharge time is long, cause energy waste, this paragraph of time the implementation of dormancy control can obtain good energy saving effect. The process is: if the weaving workshop drive efficiency is low, the gas consumption is very small; the frequency of the frequency of the frequency of the frequency of the frequency decrease is greater. When it is reduced to 20Hz (the minimum operating frequency of the preset converter is 20Hz), the air compressor side pressure will gradually increase if the air volume of the loom is still not raised. When the preset value is raised, the pressure sensor gives the pressure signal of the pipeline to PLC, which compares the pressure signal measured by the pressure sensor. If higher than the preset value, the PLC gives a signal to the multi-function end of the inverter, so that the inverter will sleep, and the output frequency will drop to 0, the motor will stop running, and the system will be in a state of energy saving. If the pressure signal is lower than the preset value, the inverter is entered into the PID closed-loop operation stage by hibernation state.\nBecause the inverter control air compressor is based on the demand of hollow air quantity, it reduces the idle time and the power saving effect is obvious. Handan Shengmian textile co., LTD., with the implementation of the conversion of the frequency conversion, the annual power saving can be 8.4 x 105kW • h.\n1.2 reasonable control of pressure drop\nAny transmission will have pressure drop, the key is how to properly control the pressure drop to reduce energy consumption. The data showed that the power consumption increased by 0.3% ~ 0.5% when the pressure drop increased by 0.01 MPa. Air compressor power produced by every year because of the pressure drop is very big, oil separator, precision filter, dryer is a major part of the pressure drop increases, the timely replacement of oil separator, precision filter, regular cleaning dryer air passage though would increase the cost of some material, but are very effective at reducing pressure drop.\n1.3 reasonable selection of air compressor\nAir compressor exhaust, outlet pressure has a direct influence on energy consumption, so the requirement on the premise of meet the gas supply pressure, accurate calculation process of gas pressure loss, choose suitable air compressor exhaust pressure, in order to avoid unnecessary pressure, reduce energy consumption. Efficiency and than it is worth noting that the power is to measure the performance of the air compressor energy saving level is very important indicators, selection to select high efficiency, lower than the power of the air compressor . Reasonable choose the number of air compressor, make its in high load and high performance region, at the same time considering the regional climate conditions and water conditions to determine the suitable air compressor cooling way, reduce the energy consumption and improving the efficiency of the air compressor .\nIn addition, the improvement of air compressor room temperature can improve the efficiency of air compressor. Experiments show that the environment temperature every 11 ℃, compression efficiency by 3%, as a result, the air compressor plant working environment temperature control for energy saving is also cannot be ignored.\n1.4 air aspirating pretreatment\nUnder the same conditions, the compressed wet air is more than the expansion work done by the compressed air, and the larger the relative humidity, the larger the energy consumption of air compressor is.

Leaving the compressor at high pressure and room temperature, air passes through heat exchanger 1 and then enters a refrigerator evaporator where its temperature is reduced. Temperature reduction is accomplished by bringing the air into thermal contact with a refrigerant liquid boiling at reduced pressure. Next, the air passes through another heat exchanger 2 and arrives at the throttling valve V, where it is expanded to atmospheric pressure. Passage through the valve is accompanied by another drop in temperature during the initial or start-up period. The cold air returning through heat exchangers 1 and 2 is made to cool the incoming warm air by thermal contact. In an ideal plant, this warmed gas arrives at the compressor in its original state, the cycle being completed. Sufficient refrigerative effect is produced in the above manner, to lower the air temperature accumulatively at the throttle valve, so that eventually a portion of it will condense after expansion and be withdrawn from the system, Under this circumstance, a fraction x of the incoming air is liquefied while the balance, 1 — x is used to cool the incoming stream.\nKeywordsHeat Exchanger Thermal Contact Liquefaction Rate Refrigerant Liquid Cascade Method\nUnable to display preview.

The mathematical model for the radiation of particulate media on the surrounding walls, for 3-D rectangular geometry has been developed. The model is based on the Hottel-Cohen Zone Method for the analysis of radiative heat transfer. Total View Factors for radiative exchange have been evaluated by the Monte Carlo Method. Mic Theory has been used for the determination of the radiative properties of particles cloud in the enclosure. Parameters defining the radiative properties by Mie equations arch particles shape, mean diameter of particles, complex refractive index of particles material, density of material, particles concentration and the wavelength of incident radiation. The particles considered have been of spherical shape, In the zone method, the enclosure and its surrounding surfaces are divided into a number of volume... and surface zones, each of which is assumed to have uniform properties. A radiative energy balance is written on each zone giving the net radiative heat transfer between that zone and every other volume and surface zone in the system. The Monte Carlo Method is based an probability and statistics. The concept of energy bundles is introduced to simulate the actual physical process of radiation. A statistically meaningful number of energy bundles are followed from initial points of emission through randomly determined paths until the final points of absorption on the system. The mathematical and physical background of the interaction between incident radiation and a single solid particle is the solution of Maxwells wave equations. Gustav Mic solved Maxwell,s wave equations with the appropriate boundary conditions for single cylindrical and spherical particles and the resulting equations are called the Mic equations. The main objectives of the study are: To link numerically Hottel-Cohen zone method and Monte Carlo Method with Mie equations and to create an original 3-D computer code for the prediction of heat flux distribution. Using the code, as the results, the distribution of net radiative heat flux on the surfaces of a cube have been predicted for various values of mean diameter of particles and of particles concentration. The parametric study has been carried out keeping constant: complex refractive index of particles material and density of material. The wavelength of incident radiation was varied as well. It has been concluded, inter alia, that the larger is the mass concentration of particles the higher is the radiative heat flux transferred to the surfaces. The influence of particles diameter on the heat flux is not straight forward and it depends on the wavelength of incident radiation.\nSource:Strojniski vestnik = Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2001, 47, 8, 417-423\n- ASME-ZSITS International Thermal Science Seminar, Jun 11-14, 2000, Bled, Slovenia", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Korean Air introduced a new B777-300ER aircraft from Boeing of the U.S. on May 14.

The first portion of this air, the dead space air from the respiratory passageways, is typical humidified air, as shown in Table 39-1.Then,pro-gressively more and more alveolar air becomes mixed with the dead space air until all the dead space air has finally been washed out and nothing but alveolar air is expired at the end of expiration. Therefore, the method of collecting alveolar air for study is simply to collect a sample of the last portion of the expired air after forceful expiration has removed all the dead space air.\nNormal expired air, containing both dead space air and alveolar air, has gas concentrations and partial pressures approximately as shown in Table 39-1—that is, concentrations between those of alveolar air and humidified atmospheric air.\nWas this article helpful?\nThis ebook provides an introductory explanation of the workings of the human body, with an effort to draw connections between the body systems and explain their interdependencies.

The four additives studied are tetrahydropyran, cyclobutanone, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane. Since all organic additives are very poorly soluble in water, they will be referred to as insoluble. Compared to the additive-free binary carbon dioxide system, reduction of the gas hydrate equilibrium pressure was observed in all systems. The pressure reducing effect of the additives on the hydrate equilibrium was similar for ternary systems with water + methane + additive and water + carbon dioxide + additive. However, the phase behaviour of the latter type of systems is more complex, due to the occurrence of a liquid carbon dioxide phase. Quintuple points (H-L-w-L-a-L-hc-V) are reported for these systems. In the presence of tetrahydropyran, cyclobutanone and cyclohexane sII hydrates are assumed to be formed, while the hydrate phase with methylcyclohexane may be either sI or sH hydrate.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "1 Rajasthan Air Sqn NCC\nDate Raised : 1955-08-01 Location : Jaipur\n1 RAJ Air Sqn NCC was raised as 11 (Rajasthan) Air Sqn NCC at Jaipur on 1 August 1955.

The use of AC is intended so that they can be comfortable in the house aircon service singapore. For this reason, there are many people who use air conditioners in their homes. Unfortunately, the AC can experience problems. One of the problems that often occurs is that the air conditioner is dirty and the air conditioner cannot release cold air. If this happens to you, then you can use the services of the aircon service singapore.\nFor those of you who have AC at home, there are some tips that you can use when you use the air conditioner.\nAll doors and windows in rooms that use air conditioners must be closed tightly. This does not mean that the room must not have an air gap at all, but if you can try, there is no part of the room that is wide open so that the air from outside which has a higher temperature enters and then raises the temperature of the room. If the air from outside is free to enter the air-cooled room, the AC work is getting heavier and requires greater electrical power to reduce the temperature as desired.\nYou must clean your AC routinely\nUsually, the air filter part of the air conditioner gets dirty quickly, especially if the outside air is sucked up with a lot of dust. Your air conditioning must be cleaned every two or three months. Air conditioners that are never or rarely cleaned will cause the temperature of the product not to be as cold as desired. The airspeed is not smooth so there is not much air exhaled into the room. We are forced to set the ac temperature to be lower so that the room becomes cold.

But making clouds from meteor dust isn’t unheard of. Hartwick said meteors are thought to be the seeds for some of Earth’s wispy noctilucent clouds.\n“On Earth, they are really high altitude clouds that form in the summer north pole that form on meteoric smoke,” she said. “The burnt up bits form really small meteoric material that impact the atmosphere.”\nTo find out if such smoke would be enough to give rise to Mars’ mysterious clouds, Hartwick’s team turned to massive computer simulations that attempt to mimic the flows and turbulence of the planet’s atmosphere.\nAnd sure enough, when they included meteors in their calculations, clouds appeared.\n“Our model couldn’t form clouds at these altitudes before,” Hartwick said. “But now, they’re all there, and they seem to be in all the right places.”\nThe discovery could help reveal information not only about the weather conditions on present-day Mars but also about the planet's past climate.\n“Studies have suggested that clouds high up could potentially induce sort of like a greenhouse effect that would warm the surface,” Hartwick said. “This meteoric smoke could be a good way to form clouds at those altitudes and maybe induce the warming that we need to get above freezing temperatures at the Mars surface.”\nThis could help scientists understand how early Mars’ climate was warm and wet.\nYou want to know what is really going on these days, especially in Colorado.

This can pose particular risk to those most susceptible to the effects of pollution, such as young children and the elderly – as well as those sensitive to allergens or suffering from respiratory problems.\nBy helping to reduce the particulates triggering respiratory problems, air purifiers – especially those with high ‘Air Changes per Hour’ (ACH) numbers – are the ideal choice to improving indoor air quality at home, at work, or in the classroom.\nThe air that we breathe can have a significant impact on our health.\nIn recent years, indoor concentrations of airborne allergens and pollutants have increased steadily, due factors such as:\n- Energy-efficient building construction – especially where it lacks sufficient mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air exchange.\n- The increased use of synthetic materials containing ‘volatile organic’ compounds (VOCs) e.g., building materials, furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners.\nRecently, American researchers have also highlighted the negative effects poor air quality has on the academic performance of children and adults in the classroom.\nHow Do Air Purifiers Work?\nAir purifiers are designed to sanitise the air and reduce pollutants such as dust, smoke, pollen, mould spores, VOCs, and several other allergens which may pose a risk to your health.\nIn their simplest form, these units contain one or more filters and a fan. The fan is designed to extract the air from the surrounding environment, in turn passing it through the internal filters to trap odours and particulates.\nBenefits of Using an Air Purifier\nAir purifiers with high-efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) technology filters can help remove up to 99.7% of the airborne particulate matter circulating in areas with limited air exchange.\nThis matter can include odours, pollutants, allergens, and harmful pathogens such as fungus spores, viruses, and bacteria. Many air purifier models have also been certified COVID-19 effective.\nOn top of the clear benefits to your health, air purifiers also provide other benefits such as:\n- Increased productivity and focus at work and school due to better air quality.\n- Improved sleep at home due to less airborne allergens and dust mite particles.\n- Longer lasting office equipment due to less instances of dust-blocked air flows and fans in hardware.\n- Reduced risks of harmful, naturally-occurring radon gas in enclosed spaces.\n- Removal of unpleasant odours.\nNeed help choosing the right purification system for your home, office, or school?\nAt NorthEast Hygiene, we can help.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Intercoolers increase the efficiency of the intake air system by reducing temperature of heated air by the turbocharger (or supercharger) promoting more thorough combustion.

High water level indicates a lack of air in the system, and will cause the float to open the control’s air inlet valve. Air from the control is then drawn into a pump, where it is mixed with water and transferred into the system. As more air is introduced into the system, the decreasing water level will cause the float to fall, eventually closing the air inlet valve and shutting off the supply of air to the pump; until the water level again increases and the process starts again.

As power source, it has the feature of high safety, pollution-free, etc. In addition, the storage capacity of compressed air is very strong. As long as the storage vessel seals well, the energy can be kept in the container all the time.\nThe compressed air has many advantages as a kind of power, so it is widely used.\nFunction of compressed air\nBecause the air is one of the most common compressed medium, the compressed air is easy to get and it can’t cause pollution, so the compressed air is used in various areas and industries to realize automation and to save labor costs.\nSo because of the feature of the high-pressure compressed air, it is possible to be applied in industry of coordinate measuring machine. For CMM, compressed air has the following application:\n1.The compressed air can provide power for static pressure type air bearing (also called air bearing. Below we will call it air bearing).\nMost CMM adopt zero friction movement of air bearing. The principle is to input high-pressure compressed air from the inlet into air bearing, then the air flow out through the hole on the surface of the air bearing. Thus, there will be an air space like a certain thickness of air film between air bearing and guide way. The air film can make the movement of the moving parts to realize approximate zero friction. In this way, it can guarantee the normal work of CMM. Therefore, the compressed air can guarantee the normal work of CMM.\n2.The compressed can provide power for cylinder balance.\nAs for the coordinate measuring machine, Z axis is in the vertical direction, so the force made by the weight must be eliminated by other components. Due to the advantages of the smooth movement, reliable positioning, simple structure and easy adjustment, the balance cylinder is currently the first choice for the balance part of all the coordinate measuring machines. The function of the high pressure compressed air is obvious in the balance system.\nPlease inform us if any questions or advice", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Greetings and welcome!\nIt has been a big weekend for snowmobiling around here.

The wind eased just a little and the seas eased quite a bit, and the direction of the wind moved from south towards southeast (although shifting around). This allowed the windward genoa to be poled out again (and well reefed) and with the easier seas we romped along at 8 to 9kts most of the evening and into the early hours, under a bright moon that's approaching full moon. True, it was helped a little by the current (a good knot, sometimes more!). The net result was a very good noon-to-noon run of 175.4 miles. To help ensure the windward sail didn't back, we used the autopilot controlled by the wind vane at the top of the mast. This allows us to sail at a constant angle to the wind, so if the wind changed, instead of backing the genoa, the boat would change its direction and keep the wind at the same angle to the sails. It worked well, but had 2 drawbacks. If the wind shifts back and forth, as it did last night, the autopilot alerts you to the fact that the direction of the boat is changing and you have to acknowledge it or it doesn't stop beeping. So we had quite an interrupted night (to allow the person below to sleep, will have to find some way of muffling the beep!). The second is that if the wind shifts to the south, as it kept on doing, the boat changes direction to the north, so we've ended up quite a bit further north than intended. However, as the wind is back to the southeast or even east south east at times today, we're clawing our way back south again. The wind's been lighter today, but the better angle has allowed more sail and we're making a respectable 6 to 7kts most of the time.

These gases can be anything, including pressurized air. The use of air or other inert gases creates power that can be safer, more reliable, more flexible, or less expensive than electric or internal combustion actuators or motors. One such application would be indoor systems or other closed environments in which exhaust would be unsafe. Also, electricity requires a source, whereas a hydraulic system can be easier to contain.\nGases used in pneumatics are pretty much always inert, for safety reasons. However, different gases have different properties. Certain gases are less expensive than others. Some are heavier than others.\nIn fixed installations, such as a factory, the pneumatic systems usually use compressed air. This is the most efficient and affordable system since a supply is readily available by compressing atmospheric air. Typically, the air is dehumidified so that it does not rust or corrode the machinery with moisture. Then, a tiny amount of oil is added to the machine to lubricate the machine equipment and protect from corrosion. This is also a very safe system since one need not worry about leaks since the gas is just air. The only concern would be the actual pressure of the escaping air.\nOne of the disadvantages of atmospheric air is the moisture content as well as pollution. Because atmospheric air has moisture, it must be scrubbed dry before it can be used. Also, it must be filtered to remove pollution, dust, and dirt suspended in the air. The amount of work needed to clean the air depends on the atmosphere, obviously. Machine equipment in Bloomington, Indiana would not need to work as hard dehumidifying the air as the same machine in Miami.\nSmaller systems that do not have the capability to process atmospheric air might use other gases. Typically, these would also be used for portable systems. Many of these types of systems use nitrogen, which presents an asphyxiation hazard. This gas, typically called oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN), is not breathable even though nitrogen comprises 78% of atmospheric air. Though it is an asphyxiation hazard, it is cheaper than oxygen and is non-combustible, making it ideal for use in pneumatic machine equipment.\nOther machines, such as portable tools or vehicles, often run on compressed carbon dioxide (CO2). This is typically done because the gas is inert, easily compressed, and readily available. Also, the gas can be compressed into a liquid form which means that more of it can be contained than compressed air. However, carbon dioxide does present an asphyxiation hazard as well as a freezing hazard.

If you’re an electrician, though, you know that a significant amount of dust can be something much more dangerous. Under the right conditions, certain fairly common types of dust can actually catch fire. As if that wasn’t bad enough, there are even conditions in which the dust can explode!\nElectricians need to take extra care when dealing with dust. While it may be tempting to just blow the dust out of certain pieces of equipment, if precautions aren’t taken, then something this simple can lead to a major blow-out. This danger is why flammable dust is used to define Class II hazardous locations by the National Fire Prevention Association.\nIs Dust Really Flammable?\nTo answer this, stop and think about some of the most common types of dust that you encounter on the job. In many cases this dust is either made of powdered materials or is finely-ground sawdust. Some powdered dust isn’t very flammable; these materials aren’t likely to cause an explosion. If the material that the dust is made of is flammable, however, then that means the dust itself is flammable as well.\nTo make matters worse, each particle of dust has a very large surface area for its size. This means that almost the entire particle can burn at once, resulting in a very fast flash fire. This fire can spread from one dust particle to the next, burning through an entire room full of suspended dust particles in a matter of moments.\nDust in Electrical Equipment\nThis flammable dust presents a significant danger if it’s allowed to build up in electrical equipment. As dust collects inside the equipment, there’s also a possibility that the equipment itself could be damaged. Built-up dust can trap heat within the equipment, increasing the likelihood of components overheating or suffering from heat damage. If dust manages to collect on exposed wires or circuit boards, it also presents a danger of short circuit. Given that the short circuit would ignite some of the dust, this is a pretty bad position to be in.\nThe Dangers of Blowing Out the Dust\nCollected dust can be difficult to remove, which is why some find it tempting to use compressed air to blow the dust out. Unfortunately, doing so creates two potentially significant problems.\nFirst of all, blowing the dust out with compressed air circulates the dust into the air much more than other methods. This creates a much more ideal environment for a flash fire and also redistributes the dust so that it can collect elsewhere.\nSecond, the rapid movement of air over some surfaces can actually build up a slight static charge. If this charge is discharged onto nearby equipment, then it can create a small spark. Even though it isn’t a flame, that little spark could potentially be enough to ignite dust in the air and cause a flash fire or explosion.\nProper Dust Removal\nBefore removing any dust, affected equipment should be shut down and any power within their systems should be discharged. PPE should be equipped to ensure that you are as safe as possible when cleaning. OSHA requires that cleaning methods that do not generate dust clouds be used, with the most common being the use of a vacuum that’s approved for dust collection. Dust collection systems and high-quality filters can also be installed in the HVAC system to minimize dust buildup.\nHave you ever seen a dust explosion, either in person or online?", "label": "No"} +{"text": "The cortège have arrived at Charlie Harris-Beard's funeral.\nIt was led by a group of bikers in purple t-shirts and included a fire engine.\nMore top news\nBreezy with clear spells and the odd shower.\nIt will be a chilly and breezy night with cloud and clear spells.\nWindy with rain clearing to showers and some sunny spells.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "I had the opportunity this past Thursday evening to view the International Space Station as it passed over Georgia from the NW to the SE.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION\nSPEC is a program for calculating the neutron or charged particles (p, d, t, He3, alpha) induced reactions of medium-heavy nuclei in the incident energy range up to 60 MeV including 6 emission processes. For those reaction channels contributed only by 1-5 emission processes the incident energy can go up to 100 MeV. SPEC is constructed within the framework of optical model, master equation of the exciton model, and the evaporation model. In the first and second particle emission processes, we consider preequilibrium emission and evaporation; in 3-6 particle emission processes, we only consider evaporation. The preequilibrium and direct reaction mechanisms of gamma emission are also included in this program. The effect of recoil nucleus is considered for calculating spectra. Program SPEC includes the first to the sixth particle emission processes.\na+A -> b+B*, a=n, p, alpha, d, t, He3, b=n, p, alpha, d, t, He3,gam B* -> c+C*, c=n, p, alpha, d, t, He3, gamma\nC* -> d+D*, d=n, p, alpha, d, t, He3, gamma\nD* -> e+E*, e=n, p, alpha, d, gamma\nE* -> f+F*, f=n, p, gamma\nF* -> g+G*, g=n, p, gamma\nWhen a particle is emitted, the residual nucleus may emit another particle or gamma ray continuously if the excited energy is large enough to overcome the binding energy. Generally speaking, the gamma emission cross section is much less than neutron emission cross section when neutron emission channel is open, we assume that after gamma ray is emitted the residual nucleus do not emit any particle except after the first gamma ray emission process the particle or gamma are allowed to be emitted. Thus, 7 channels can be opened for the first emission process, 49 channels for the second emission process, 252 channels for third emission process, 1080 channels for forth emission process, 2592 channels for fifth emission process, and 5184 channels for sixth emission process.\nThe Gilbert-Cameron level density formula was applied in program SPEC. The inverse cross sections of the emitted particles used in statistical theory are calculated from the optical model. The partial widths for gamma-ray emission are calculated based on the giant dipole resonance model with two resonance peaks in both the evaporation model and exciton model.\nIn the optical model calculation, we usually adopt the Becchetti and Greenlees's phenomenological optical potential, which parameters are usually given by a program for automatically searching the optimum optical model parameters. We use Neumanove methods to solve the radial equation in optical model. Coulomb wave functions used in optical model are calculated by the continued fraction method.\nSPEC does not calculate the direct inelastic scattering and compound nucleus elastic scattering cross sections, but the calculated direct inelastic scattering cross sections by the collective excitation distorted-wave Born approximation and compound nucleus elastic scattering results by Hauser-Feshbach model can be added by the input data of the program SPEC.\nThe following nuclear data can be calculated with the program SPEC: total emission cross sections and spectra of all emitted particles; for first to sixth particle emission processes and different pick-up configurations (l,m); the various yield cross sections; total and elastic scattering cross sections (only for neutron as projectile); total reaction cross section; nonelastic scattering cross sections; radiative capture cross section; (x,np), (x,n alpha), (x,2n), (x,3n), (x,4n), (x,5n), (x,6n) cross sections and so on.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Compressed air is a commonly used power source. Over the years it became a crucial part of a wide range in industrial processes. However, compressed air after compression is not clean and contains impurities like water, oil, dirt, wear particles and so on.

Air purifiers are devices that help remove pollutants and improve the air quality in enclosed spaces. There are several compelling reasons why investing in an air purifier is a wise decision.\n1. Health Benefits\nOne of the primary reasons to buy an air purifier is the potential health benefits it offers. Air purifiers can effectively remove harmful particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores from the air. By reducing exposure to these allergens, individuals with allergies or asthma can experience relief from symptoms and improve their overall well-being.\nAdditionally, air purifiers can help eliminate airborne viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of respiratory infections. This is particularly important in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces, where the spread of germs is more likely.\n2. Improved Indoor Air Quality\nIndoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air due to the accumulation of pollutants from various sources. Cooking fumes, cleaning products, tobacco smoke, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by furniture and building materials can all contribute to poor air quality indoors. An air purifier can effectively remove these pollutants, ensuring cleaner and fresher air to breathe.\nFurthermore, air purifiers can help reduce unpleasant odors by eliminating odor-causing particles and chemicals from the air. This is particularly beneficial for households with pets, smokers, or individuals with sensitivities to certain smells.\n3. Allergy Relief\nAllergies can significantly impact one’s quality of life, causing symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, itching, and congestion. Air purifiers with HEPA filters can capture and remove allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander from the air, providing relief for allergy sufferers.\nMoreover, air purifiers can also help alleviate symptoms of seasonal allergies by reducing the amount of outdoor allergens that enter the indoor environment. This is especially beneficial during high pollen seasons when individuals are more prone to allergic reactions.\n4. Asthma Management\nAsthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can be triggered by various environmental factors, including dust, pollen, and air pollution. Air purifiers can effectively remove these triggers from the air, creating a safer and healthier environment for individuals with asthma.\nBy reducing the presence of asthma triggers, air purifiers can help minimize asthma attacks, improve breathing, and enhance overall lung function. This can lead to a better quality of life for asthma sufferers and reduce the need for medication or medical interventions.\n5. Enhanced Sleep Quality\nPoor air quality can negatively affect sleep quality, leading to issues such as snoring, sleep apnea, and insomnia. Air purifiers can help create a cleaner and more breathable environment in the bedroom, improving sleep patterns and overall sleep quality.\nBy removing airborne irritants and allergens, air purifiers can reduce nighttime allergies and respiratory disturbances that can disrupt sleep. This can result in more restful and rejuvenating sleep, leading to increased energy levels and better overall health.\n6. Protection against Secondhand Smoke\nSecondhand smoke is a significant health risk, containing thousands of harmful chemicals that can cause various illnesses and diseases. Air purifiers equipped with activated carbon filters can effectively remove smoke particles and chemicals from the air, reducing the health risks associated with exposure to secondhand smoke.\nInstalling an air purifier in homes or offices where smoking is allowed can help protect non-smokers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. It can also improve the air quality for smokers themselves, helping to reduce the accumulation of smoke-related odors and pollutants.\n7. Decreased Risk of Airborne Diseases\nIn addition to allergens and pollutants, air can also carry viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that can cause respiratory infections and diseases. Air purifiers equipped with high-efficiency filters or UV-C light technology can effectively capture and kill these microorganisms, reducing the risk of airborne diseases.\nEspecially during flu seasons or in areas with poor air quality, air purifiers can be a valuable tool in preventing the spread of illnesses. They can provide an added layer of protection by filtering out airborne pathogens and creating a cleaner environment.\n8. Peace of Mind\nInvesting in an air purifier can provide peace of mind, knowing that the air inside your home or office is clean and healthy. It can be particularly reassuring for individuals with respiratory conditions, allergies, or compromised immune systems, as well as for families with young children or elderly members.\nKnowing that you have taken steps to improve the air quality can contribute to a sense of well-being and help create a comfortable living or working environment. Air purifiers provide a proactive approach to maintaining a healthier indoor environment and can be an essential part of your overall well-being.\nAn air purifier offers numerous benefits, ranging from improved health and allergy relief to enhanced sleep quality and protection against airborne diseases. By investing in an air purifier, you can create a cleaner and healthier environment for yourself and your loved ones, ensuring a better quality of life in the long run.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "It was a pretty good week.

Soybeans are a temperate leguminous plant with an ideal daytime temperature of 85°F. When air temperatures exceed 85°F, soybeans can experience heat stress regardless of reproductive stage. When soybeans experience heat stress, yield reductions can begin to occur, especially when soil moisture is limiting. Heat stress during flowering can result in pollen sterility and reduced seed set. Temperatures exceeding 85°F can result in a decreased number of pods while temperatures above 99°F severely limit pod formation. Heat stress at the R5 growth stage (beginning seed), has the greatest impact on soybean yield. During seed fill, daytime temperatures of 91 to 96°F result in fewer seeds per plant. Daytime temperatures greater than 85°F during seed fill can result in decreased soybean weight.\nHow do high nighttime temperatures affect corn and soybean production? High nighttime temperatures (in the 70s or 80s) can result in wasteful respiration and a lower net amount of dry matter accumulation in plants. The rate of respiration of plants increases rapidly as the temperature increases, approximately doubling for each 13 degree F increase. With high night temperatures more of the sugars produced by photosynthesis during the day are lost; less is available to fill developing kernels or seeds, thereby lowering potential grain yield. High night time temperatures result in faster heat unit (GDD) accumulation that can lead to earlier corn maturation, whereas cool night temperatures result in slower GDD accumulation that can lengthen grain filling and promote greater dry matter accumulation and grain yields.\nPast research at the University of Illinois indicates that corn grown at night temperatures in the mid-60s out yields corn grown at temperatures in the mid-80s. Corn yields are often higher with irrigation in western states, which have low humidity and limited rainfall. While these areas are characterized by hot sunny days, night temperatures are often cooler than in the Eastern Corn Belt. Low night temperatures during grain fill have been associated with some of Ohio’s highest corn yields in past years. In 2009, when the highest corn average yield to date was achieved, 174 bu/A, Ohio experienced one of its coolest Julys on record. The cool night temperatures may have reduced respiration losses during early grain fill and lengthened the grain fill period.\nCompared to corn, soybeans are less sensitive to high nighttime temperatures. Warm night temperatures do not appear to increase respiration in soybean plants as much as corn. During the day, soybean plants accumulate starch in their leaves. At night, the starch is broken down and exported from their leaves. When nights are cool, the amount of starch exported is reduced resulting in high leaf starch the following day which can disrupt photosynthesis. Nighttime temperatures have to exceed 85°F before any noticeable reduction in soybean yield is experienced. In an experiment conducted by the USDA, soybean plants subjected to a night temperature of 85°F resulted in a 10% yield loss. Corn subjected to 85°F at night experienced grain yield reductions of 40%.\n- Scout for aphids in winter wheat\n- El Niño development stalled out, but wet winter still predicted\n- Ag markets posted divergent closes Wednesday\n- Farm bill program to help farmers affected by severe weather\n- Israel panel proposes 25-42% tax hike on mining companies\n- Ag markets moved almost unanimously higher Wednesday morning\n- How much corn can the ethanol industry use?\n- Economist: Taxing P could reduce risk of algal blooms\n- Commentary: Government wants farmers to quit farming\n- Source shows half of GMO research is independent\n- Ag markets made a generally mixed showing Thursday night\n- What is the relationship between maturity group, yield?", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Kanebo Global Skin Protector\nA multi-purpose protector that prevents sunburn and skin dryness due to severe ultraviolet rays and blocks the attachment of pollutants such as pollen in the atmosphere.

Growing Hemp reduces water usage by 95%, and no chemicals are needed. We therefore developed a technique to refine Hemp fibers, so they can be used for high quality textiles. Furthermore Hemp fibers are stronger, softer, better absorbing and breathing, and are anti-bacterial.\nTechnically we have a proof of concept; on lab scale, textiles have been produced. The validation of our business model looks so promising that we plan to upscale, via a (semi pilot-) plant in the 2nd half of 2014. We feel confident that we will achieve delivering a product to many customers with up to date characteristics, and by doing so will grab a substantial part of the € 200 billion market size, and reduce the 5000 billion M3 of fresh water spillage.\nGet in touch", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Posted by Sara Jamback on\nDo you play Wordle, Quordle, Waffle or Heardle?

It takes place in a kind of weird, futuristic gladiatorial arena where your fights are being broadcast to the masses. It’s sort of like Magic: The Gathering meets The Hunger Games, except with your character actually entering the ring willingly. You go through different stages, each of which culminate in a boss fight. At each different arena, you gain mana which can be used to play cards that allow you to heal, summon useful companions, and upgrade your character.\nThe best part of the game for me, though, is its sense of humor. This is quite obviously a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and this comes through in its often hilarious dialog and some of the bosses. For instance, one of the first bosses in the game is called Ratbo the Exterminator:\nHe is a Rambo parody who talks like a squeaky-voiced Arnold Schwarzenegger. Another boss, Jahun, is basically a grumpy old man made of rocks who, at the beginning of his fight, actually shouts “Get off my lawn!” at the player.\nI found the keyboard controls to be somewhat clunky and unwieldy, but, thankfully, the game is compatible with a gamepad, which I found much easier. This may be a matter of personal preference, however, as I mostly play console games The game’s art style is very colorful (which is good in an era where a lot of games are mostly brown), with somewhat cartoony character models that do a good job of reflecting the game’s sense of humor. The sound direction is also very good, with and excellent score and voice acting cast.\nIt’s not a particularly easy game, however. I actually had to try campaigns several times because I died. A lot. Of course, this may not necessarily speak to the difficulty of the game itself, but may just be me being bad at games. I took some gameplay footage earlier, so you can all watch me suck at it:\nThis game is actually quite addictive. While the controls do take a little getting used to, once I started to get the hang of it, I found it rather difficult to put down. It also has one of the most entertaining game over screens I’ve seen in a while (and that’s a good thing, since I saw the game over screen a lot):\nRight on, game over screen.\nI should note that the history of the studio, a Danish developer called BetaDwarf, is worth a read as well. It looks like they had to go through quite a few obstacles to get their game out there.\nIn conclusion, Forced Showdown is a fun and funny little game. It is currently available on Steam for $19.99, and I highly recommend checking it out.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Felspar Grinding Machine For Sale\nFeldspar Grinding Machine made by Shanghai Clirik has the features of high efficiency environmental protection and energy consumption.

From shows like South Pacific and Rent to Bye, Bye, Birdie and Hair, stage productions have made significant contributions to the discussions and understandings of American experiences, the ways in which people struggle through their hardships, and the relationships that publics develop throughout their lives. In particular, the American theater opens a discursive space for sexuality. The musical Wicked is and continues to be one of the most popular productions of the past decade as it holds strong in his home at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City and sells out touring locations across America and internationally, earning over one million dollars per week. This study, using the musical Wicked as a fragmented text and ideological cluster criticism as a rhetorical lens, first establishes a queer romantic storyline between Glinda the Good and Elphaba, who later becomes The Wicked Witch of the West. Then, in response to the driving research query, how does passing function within the musical Wicked, this project accesses traditional and ambiguous strategies of passing to understand the construction and maintenance of Glinda's heterosexual passing identity before providing some implications for rhetorical criticism and examinations of culture.\n|University of Alabama Libraries\n|The University of Alabama Electronic Theses and Dissertations\n|The University of Alabama Libraries Digital Collections\n|All rights reserved by the author unless otherwise indicated.\n|Defying gravity: queering the witches of Oz\n|University of Alabama.

So Rich took yesterday (Friday) off and we went to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. We had no intention of returning a week later so we made it six days later – lol!\nIt must have been the hottest day of the year, but pixie dust sprinkled on our tram experience both arriving and departing, which cut down on our miles walked (only 3 this time), but, still the heat really wore me out, not to mention give me a lovely glisten. Ha! In honor of my dad, I wore my Dodger Blue hat. He and his father used to go see the Dodgers play and Dodger Stadium was where I saw my first professional baseball game (Dodgers vs Giants – Dodgers won). He once told me, “The Dodgers will break your heart.” 🙂\nHere’s my selfie wearing my Dodgers hat while snagging a table while Rich was picking up some food at one of the food booths. We had a great system going and I was so thankful he was up to doing all of that because I just wasn’t. You can catch a glimpse of Rich in some of the photos getting our snacks. Like a “Hidden Mickey.” 🙂\nPeople often say I look like my mother but mostly because they don’t know my father and we do have a similar shape of the face. But the rest (coloring, nose, eyes, hair, etc.) is all dad and his side of the family. My ear for music and taste for food and wine adventures, I also get from my father. So, here’s to you, dad!\nWe started off with Taste Track this time. I’d had my eye on the Cinnamon Sugar Donut and Rich got the Chocolate Hazelnut with Raspberry – both were delicious!!\nThen we swung by the food booths that are on the East side of Future World and while we spotted many items we’d like to try when it’s not so hot (that area is so exposed and still, being out in the open without the lagoon to provide a breeze), we did get the Scallops and paired it with Petite Sirah at the Wine & Dine, I think. Really clever dish and quite tasty. I could definitely go back for more of that.\nBtw, many booths were open at this time, which was about 10:30. So then we headed back to Ireland but on the way stopped at New Zealand to get one of our favorites from last year: Mussels paired with Pinot Noir. Just as good as last year!\nSoon we were back in Ireland and I have to say, we arrived at all of these booths earlier than I’d expected and were getting full eating our lunch calories for breakfast – lol! We skipped the chocolate cake in Ireland this time but did get the Guinness/Bailey’s shake with chocolate shavings this time and the Irish Sausage with Colcannon again. Yum!! But I do think we’ve had our fill, well, at least until Brother Bob comes down.\nSo what’s next? Several booths we decided to save for Brother Bob’s trip – we were getting quite full at this point – but we wanted to get back to Mexico to try the Short Rib Tostada. Last week we’d been too full by the time we got to Mexico.\nWe were also quite hot and thirsty and exhausted. We sat down in the shade a couple of times just to keep from collapsing. By the time we got to the Cantina, I found a table, Rich got us a couple of regular Margaritas from the Cantina – we’d tried the specialty F&W Margaritas last week and once was enough. He then ran over to the Mexico booth and brought back a Tostada, which was so delicious, he ran back for a second one. Yum, yum, yum!! Certainly makes a California girl proud!\nAt the booth last week, they’d balked a bit about serving him two margaritas, but he convinced them one was for me sitting down. At the Cantina, they had no qualms about serving him two.\nWe had a great time, the crowds were low on a Friday but it was just so darn hot!! At least the tram system was working efficiently and they even used the shady area for the pick-up. I’d complained about having to wait in the sun a few months back and it was the same last week so maybe they use the covered area on week days but not on week-ends due to needing more space for security? That’s our guess.\nAt this rate, we’ll be back four times to get the cutting board, although it’s rather small. Somebody on Instagram said they thought it wasn’t as small as they’d heard but I think some of us saw the Food & Wine cutting board you can buy, which is a really nice size that it makes the “free” (on the 4th visit) one for AP holders seem small. More of a cheese board size, if you know what I mean.\nSo we couldn’t resist the Food and Wine Festival now that the Labor Day weekend and early vlogger crush was over. And we did it in such an awesome way.\nWe arrived a bit after 9 am and headed straight for the Festival Center for our AP Chef Mickey magnets. We also got the ornament/keychain (whichever works for you) and a gift card, which makes snack purchasing a snap.\nThen we made our way to France for our usual beignet and champagne except that there were no beignets so Rich got us some yummy chocolate croissants instead.\nWe finished our bubbly outside in the shade but at around 10:30, we walked back to Ireland to see if they were opening early and they did. We were first in line and the only downside was that the chocolate shavings for the Guinness Baileys Shake hadn’t arrived yet. But the chocolate cake provided the chocolate after all. And, oh yeah, the Irish Sausage with colcannon potatoes and onion gravy made for an awesome savory breakfast after the sweets in France.\nThis totally lived up to the rave reviews we’d heard about and hope to return for seconds and thirds on future visits.\nAfter all of this deliciousness, we headed back to France for the official rope drop at 11 am and stopped in Spain for some chicken and sausage paella and wine flight.\nAfter that it was China for my very favorite Shrimp and Garlic Noodles! Yum!! Rich can’t eat shrimp so he got some kind of Chinese Pancake. We shared everything else.\nBy this time we were pretty full so our next and final stop for this tasting was in Mexico for the Mariachinand Aye Carrimba Margaritas. Both were interesting but not my favorites by a long shot.\nIt was very hot, we walked 4.5 miles and were exhausted the next day, although no other aches and pains. The heat really wears you out. We hope to make it back 2 or 3 more times because we barely got starte, but we’ll see. Along about now, a martini at Territory Lounge at Wilderness Lodge sounds a bit more relaxing/refreshing. 🙂\nLike last year, we thought about going to Epcot Food & Wine Festival but because it was Labor Day weekend and the very first weekend (since they started the festival a month early beginning with last year), we decided against it. With so many alternatives, we soon found another choice. In fact, Disney Springs has such a plethora of choices.\nSince Terralina Crafted Italian opened on June 28 at Disney Springs, we have had it on our list of places to try. This past weekend, we finally got the chance.\nWe parked in the Lime Garage but were early so we made our way to DisneyStyle over by the Orange Garage not far from the Chicken Guy – another place to make time for. We looked at the stuff in the store but didn’t find anything we had to have. But we did have fun sitting in the tea cup.\nThen we walked back over to World of Disney and found a few items we had to have for our kitchen. 🙂\nWe arrived a few minutes early for our 11:30 AM reservation at opening. We were soon seated at a cozy table by the window overlooking the water. The dining room is pleasant with a casual Italian feel. There are booths and tables. I’m sure it can be quite noisy when the restaurant is full, but we were there with the early lunch crowd, so it wasn’t too bad.\nCathead vodka, Cappelletti, fresh watermelon, lemon, and cucumber\nMalfy gin, Cappelletti, Cocchi vermouth di Torino, and orange\nCapellini with Crab\nToasted Garlic, Olive Oil, Serrano Chili Pepper\nBucatini with Clams\nWhite Wine, Garlic, Olive Oil, Parsley, Lemon Butter, ‘Nduja\nWe had considered having wine with our meal, but it was a hot, sweaty day, so we opted for some refreshing cocktails instead. And the cocktails didn’t disappoint. Kathy’s Cozy Terrace was refreshing and bright, and my Negroni was a fabulous discovery. I think I have a new favorite cocktail.\nThe entrees were even more exciting. Kathy’s capellini pasta was wonderfully thin and flavorful, with chunks of light crab meat. She took half home for dinner.\nI had the amazing bucatini with clams. I love this pasta, and it was made even better with the ‘nduja paste that flavored the pasta along with the clams. I ate every bite and had to resist the desire to order another plateful to go.\nJames Beard award-winning chef Tony Mantuano and Executive Chef Justin Plank have created a delightful restaurant inspired by Italy’s Lake District. The food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding, and the whole experience was an enjoyable way to be transported to Italy if only for a lunchtime.\nWe caught an early flight out of Las Vegas yesterday morning and as the plane circled over our former home, heading out into the open desert, I said something like, “What a pile of dirt!” – lol!\nIt had been an emotional roller coaster revisiting the place we’d called home for 9 years. I was reminded not only of the excitement we’d had flying in from San Francisco and staying in different hotel properties, but also living there. I was also reminded of why we felt compelled to leave.\nThe flight on Southwest was pretty good going back – the service was quite attentive – and before we knew it, we were landing in Orlando via over Tampa to avoid some storms. What a sight for sore eyes! I mean, literally! All the greenery and water! What a contrast from the Las Vegas desert.\nAnd I began to feel a renewal of my original love for Florida as we drove the hour back home. So pretty. So peaceful. Sunny but not too sunny. Hot but not too too hot – even the humidity is a welcome relief from the oven-like temps of Vegas. Maybe that was the point of the trip for me. For Rich, well, he had a very productive week at work. Everybody so excited to see him. They’d love to have him back at headquarters but I don’t think I could live there again.\nWe’re definitely looking forward to getting back to Disney, and especially for the Food & Wine Festival. Rich’s brother will be here for that – looking forward to reconnecting like we did on our trip in 2010. What a year that was – doing the F&W Festival with our Disney friends and family. Looking forward to seeing who we can meet and connect with this year.\nWe stopped at our little downtown deli and Rich got us some sandwiches to take home because neither of us wanted to prepare food. We noticed a musician set up outside the market/deli area and we stopped for a listen and offered a tip. I took some video and captured a pic of that. What a fabulous welcome home!\nRemembering my younger days when you sat out by a Vegas pool and when you wanted a drink, you just popped up your little umbrella on the back of your chaise. See my novel, The Tom Jones Club, for more of that retro Vegas experience.\nGetting a drink this morning was a little more challenging but eventually I got one. Swimming, summing, sipping, and a bit of songwriting and story writing – what gets better than that?\nLike so many mornings before here in the desert, the sun awakens me with a morning kiss. Rich brings back coffee and pastries from Starbucks before heading off to work.\nLast night we had dinner at the Noodle Bar – amazing San Francisco/Hong Kong-style food – and a drink in our favorite red chairs back at the Lucky Bar. This time I avoided martinis, although Rich’s Dirty Ketel One Martini was pretty tasty. Rich had Pho and I had Wor Wonton Soup with a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay in the Lucky Bar after. Tonight we’ll have an early night for the early morning flight.\nAfter Rich left for work, I think of things to do to kill time until the pool opens at 9. I log into a Logic Pro X lesson and then take a break, not awake enough to think too much.\nI think of the fun I had yesterday taking photos of our neighborhood park in Southern Highlands. And that reminds me of my father and his love of photography and the photos he took of the giant Sequoia trees when we visited him when he was living just outside the National Park.\nIt’s hard to believe he’s gone. It’s been 4 weeks now, but being here in Las Vegas, I can imagine he’s still in his home in Fresno, just like I can imagine Skipper, now gone for 6 weeks, and Lovey, gone for a year and a half, in our house waiting for us to come just as they always did.\nI remember how my father enjoyed Bellagio – he wanted to live there. Like father, like daughter. Yes, Las Vegas tugs on my heartstrings and it will be difficult to fly back to Florida. It’s all a bit surreal and hard to believe we live there and not here.\nI suppose there’s a bigger purpose to this trip. Perhaps it’s a step forward in the healing process, to experience the emotions, somehow getting closure.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Land use (Liechtenstein)\nWhy should we care about this issue\na) Why should we care about this theme?\nThe land is simultaneously the basis of life for people and the habitat of threatened species. Particularly in such a small country as Liechtenstein, with a high proportion of alpine areas, land is a very limited commodity. Use for cultural and economic purposes and the interest in conserving habitats and species often conflict with each other. By interpreting aerial images and evaluating the data for the Land-use Statistics for the Principality of Liechtenstein, it can be seen that a great deal has happened between 1984 and 2008. In the last 24 years, the population of Liechtenstein has risen by over 30 %, which has greatly increased pressure on the valuable and non-renewable commodity that is land. Settlement areas increased to the same extent (33.8 %) between 1984 and 2008, largely at the expense of agricultural land and natural landscapes. Since the growth in population shows no sign of diminishing in the coming years, finding more cautious and more intelligent ways of dealing with this limited commodity is crucial. Changes in land use often lead to the disappearance of important insular habitats for threatened species and are often irreversible.\nThe state and impacts\nb) What are the state (S) and impacts (I) related to this theme, including impacts on the natural environment and human health/human well-being, both at national level as well as in transboundary terms?\nIn recent years, major changes in land use have taken place in Liechtenstein compared with the rest of Europe. Between 1984 and 2008, artificial land use in the Principality of Liechtenstein increased continuously (unchecked) by 37 %, or 1.5 % per year. By contrast, the increase in settlement areas in Switzerland over the same period was ’only’ 1 %. Unlike in Liechtenstein, growth in Switzerland can be described as restricted.\nCorine Land Cover Leichtenstein (2002)\nThe increase in artificial land use took place primarily at the expense of arable land, meadows and pastures. The area newly settled every year amounts to 17.75 ha. The development of settlements in the Principality of Liechtenstein has advanced continuously in the last 24 years. In the same period, agricultural areas have diminished by nearly 500 ha, roughly equivalent to the area of 1 000 football pitches. Areas covered by fruit trees (fruit plantations and field fruit) diminished by nearly 45 % during this timeframe. Built-up areas have increased by 56 % in 24 years, and surfaced areas by 37.5 %. Many natural events have also left their mark on the forest and unproductive areas: the storms ’Vivian’ and above all ’Lothar’ caused major damage, whilst flooding and landslides (July 1995, Triesenberg) have left behind lasting damage and altered many stream beds (Stägerbach, Samina). Avalanches (February 1999, Malbun) have torn up trees and even many houses.\nExample of settlement development in Liechtenstein\nThe key drivers and pressures\nc) What are the related key drivers (D) and pressures (P) at national level?\nA constantly growing population and a dramatically rising GNP were, in relation to an increasing demand for building land, probably the main factors in recent decades in Liechtenstein, with land consumption increasing considerably faster than population growth.\nIn 2008, 75 % of all new housing was planned as single-unit construction, which leads not only to increasing living space requirements per person, but also to an unnecessarily rapid increase in settlement areas, and drives the price of land up further.\nThe theoretical capacity calculated for areas currently identified for development is sufficient for more than 100 000 inhabitants (population at end of 2009: approximately 36 000). These excessively large areas for development lead to a pronounced urban sprawl with all of its negative concomitants, such as for example an increased need for road infrastructure and, hand in hand with that, increasing traffic congestion.\nIn addition, road construction, large projects (e.g. golf courses), intensification of agriculture and abandonment of use of marginal land all pose a threat to the landscape. Above all, the small scale, relief and intricacy of the land, and the rapid alternation between close and distant objects are perceived as aesthstetically appealing.\nThe 2020 outlook\nd) What is the 2020 outlook (date flexible) for the topic in question and how will this affect possible impacts on the natural environment and human health/well-being?\nIn view of the present economic crisis, it is difficult to see how things will develop in the future. However, official forecasts assume continuing development of the population and, in the longer term, further economic growth. This will keep up the pressure on the land, and there is the risk of a massive increase in the negative impact on Liechtenstein’s biodiversity.\nExisting and planned responses\ne) Which responses (R) have been put in place or are planned at national level for the theme in question?\nIn 2009, Liechtenstein compiled and adopted a report on biodiversity, on the basis of which the biodiversity strategy is currently being developed, with appropriate goals and the necessary measures for implementation.\nA Development Concept for Nature and Agriculture has been produced, which forms the basis for the Structure Plan for Nature and Agriculture as part of the country’s National Structure Plan.\nThe country’s National Structure Plan constitutes the policy framework illustrating the country’s essential interests and objectives in the field of land-use planning. It serves as a basis for positive and sustainable development of Liechtenstein as a living space and economic area. The National Structure Plan consists of a Structure Plan Map and Structure Plan Report and is broken down into the four subject areas of settlement, agriculture, nature and landscape, traffic and supply/disposal. It was adopted by the Government in July 2007 after having been developed over several years. The National Structure Plan gives priority to regional and also cross-border plans that require a great deal of coordination. The local authorities remain responsible for local plans. The national offices concerned with land-use problems are obliged to bring planning projects with land-use implications into line with the National Structure Plan. The map and the text of the Structure Plan are to be regarded as a unit. Anything stated therein can be interpreted correctly only by evaluating both elements.\nIn the past ten years, agriculture in Liechtenstein has been characterised by a phase of intense extensification and ’greening’. Amongst other things, the provisions laid down in agrarian legislation have been crucial for this. The move towards ’greening’ is achieved through incentives (compensation), fiats and prohibitions, and has elevated agriculture to a high level in ecological terms. The maintenance and preservation of the cultivated landscape are important tasks of agriculture. The Law on Compensation for Ecological and Animal-Friendly Performance in Agriculture came into force in 1996. Within a few years almost all of the farms entitled to direct payments have converted to either ’Integrated Production’ (66 % in 2007) or organic production (27.6 % in 2007). The proportion of organic farms represents an international record (12 % in Switzerland).\n- Land-use Statistics for the Principality of Liechtenstein 1984 – 1996 – 2002 — http://www.llv.li/schlussbericht_84_96_02.pdf\n- Illustration of Corine Landcover Liechtenstein 2002 – http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/corine-land-cover-2000-by-country\n- Illustration of settlement development – http://www.llv.li/pdf-llv-slp-gesamtdokument_klein_0307-3.pdf\nFor references, please go to www.eea.europa.eu/soer or scan the QR code.\nThis briefing is part of the EEA's report The European Environment - State and Outlook 2015.

Through measurements of the temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of NCs, their excitonic properties, including the coefficient of the bandgap change, coupling strength of the exciton acoustic phonons, exciton longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, and LO–phonon energy are revealed. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to obtain insight into ultrafast processes occurring at the interface of ZnSe and CdS, such as those involving the injection of photo-induced electrons into the CdS shell, interfacial state bleaching, and charge separation time. At the end, their multiphoton absorption spectra were determined by using the z-scan technique, which yielded a maximum two-photon absorption cross section of 3717 GM at 820 nm and three-photon absorption cross section up to at 1220 nm, respectively. The photophysical properties presented here may be important for exploiting their relevant applications in optoelectronic devices and deep-tissue bioimaging.\n© 2020 Chinese Laser Press\nDue to their unique optical and optoelectronic properties, semiconductor colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) have very broad application prospects, such as in new solar photovoltaic devices, light-emitting diodes, biological imaging instruments, photodetectors, and nanolasers . Unfortunately, the semiconductor NCs with simple structures usually have many surface defects and serious Auger recombination effects, which will hinder their applications in the fields of optoelectronic devices and biological science.\nUp to now, various methods have been proposed to optimize the photophysical properties of semiconductor NCs, among which the most important methods include organic ligand surface modification and shell epitaxial growth. The first method involves passivating surface dangling bonds of NCs with organic ligands . The second method involves epitaxially growing one or multiple shells with a large bandgap outside the core NCs to form a core–shell structure heterojunction, which thus eliminates the surface dangling bonds and effectively reduces the nonradiative recombination caused by surface defects . Compared with the first method, the core–shell heterojunction obtained by the second method shows better compatibility and photothermal stability.\nAccording to the energy values of conduction and valence bands, the core–shell heterojunction can be divided into types I and II . In the type I heterojunction, the electrons and holes are trapped inside the core NCs; in the type II heterojunction, the holes and electrons are confined to the core or shell, respectively. Spatial separation of carriers can greatly reduce the efficiency of Auger recombination . In addition, the type II NCs can emit photoluminescence (PL) with a large Stokes shift and long lifetime, which is advantageous to the application of fluorescence imaging [5–8]. While much progress has been made in understanding the electronic transitions and carrier dynamics of ZnSe/CdS dot-in-rod heterostructures , (ZnSe/CdS)/CdS nanorods (NRs) , ZnSe/CdS/ZnSe nanobarbells , and ZnSe/CdS/Pt NRs , the relevant carrier dynamics of ZnSe core epitaxially grown with multiple spherical shells that may be promising for further improvement of their optoelectronic properties has not yet been elucidated. Additionally, the linear and nonlinear photophysical properties of such type II NCs still have not been widely investigated, which is hindering the expansion of their relevant applications.\nIn this work, we synthesized one kind of type II NCs, i.e., ZnSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell NCs. Their low temperature excitonic properties were revealed through the measurements of temperature-dependent PL spectra. The injection of photo-induced electrons into the CdS shell, interfacial state bleaching, process, as well as charge separation time were studied by femtosecond-transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy. In addition, the z-scan technique was utilized to determine their two- and three-photon absorption (2PA and 3PA) cross sections in the wavelength ranges of 730–870 nm and 1140–1620 nm, respectively.\nA. Synthesis of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs and Morphology Characterization\nThe NCs were synthesized according to the procedures reported in Ref. . The NCs’ size distribution was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Talos F200X).\nB. UV–Vis Absorption and PL Spectra Measurements\nThe measurements of UV–Vis absorption spectra were carried out by using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer (Lambda 950, PerkinElmer, Inc.), while the PL spectra and absolute PL quantum yield of NCs were recorded on a luminescence spectrophotometer (Zolix, SENS-9000) that was equipped with an intense xenon flash lamp as the excitation source. In all of the above measurements, the concentration of NCs was (1 M = 1 mol/L).\nC. PL Lifetime Measurements\nThe lifetime decay data were collected on an Edinburgh Instruments FLSP920 spectrophotometer by using the time-correlated single-photon counting technique. Picosecond pulses (90 ps, 375 nm) with a repetition rate of 2 MHz were used as the excitation source.\nD. Temperature-Dependent PL Spectra\nThe temperature-dependent PL spectra (10–300 K) measurements were performed within a closed-cycle helium cryostat. During the measurements, 325 nm light from a continuous-wave (CW) He–Cd laser irradiated a close-packed film prepared by drop-casting the NCs solution onto a piece of silicon wafer. The PL signals were dispersed by a monochromator and then detected by a photomultiplier by using a standard lock-in amplifier technique.\nE. fs-TA Spectroscopy\nUltrafast carrier dynamics of NCs was investigated by using fs-TA spectroscopy, based on a Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier system (Spectra-Physics, Inc.) that produces 800 nm pulses with a 100 fs pulse width and 1000 Hz repetition rate. A portion of the 800 nm pulses irradiated onto a sapphire crystal to generate white probe light (360–800 nm). The pump beam was chopped at 100 Hz, and its delay time (0–3 ns) relative to the probe was controlled by using a variable optical delay line. The vertical angle between the pump and probe polarization was set to exclude artificial signals during the measurements. The probe signals were collected with a monochromator/photomultiplier configuration with a lock-in amplifier. All measurements were performed on NCs toluene solutions.\nF. Determination of Multiphoton Absorption Cross Sections\nThe mulitphoton absorption (MPA) cross sections of NCs were determined by using an open-aperture z-scan technique , in which the NCs toluene solution was filled into a quartz cell with a 1 mm thickness. In the measurements, the laser pulses (1000 Hz, 100 fs) from an optical parametric amplifier combined with a traveling wave optical parameter amplifier with a tunable wavelength range were used as the excitation source.\n3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION\nThe TEM image of the ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs is presented in Fig. 1(a). The spherical structure can be clearly observed, which thus confirms the epitaxial growth of the anisotropic shell. From the size distribution histogram in Fig. 1(b), the averaged diameter of NCs was estimated as 18.6 nm. The average diameter of original ZnSe core is , while the thickness of the CdS shell is . Their absorption spectrum in Fig. 1(c) shows a resolvable first excitonic transition at 460 nm arising from the ZnSe core, whereas the CdS shell has no resolvable peak. Moreover, there is a low energy tail, which is suggestive of the existence of spatially indirect transitions, due to the type II band alignment. Under 365 nm excitation, the NCs exhibit bright PL emission peaking at 630 nm. Considering staggered band alignment of ZnSe and CdSe NCs, the PL emission can be attributed to indirect type excitonic transition . This assignment can be further supported by the PL excitation (PLE) spectrum that resembles the absorption spectrum of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs [Fig. 1(c)]. The absolute PL quantum yield of the NCs was determined at the level of 7.93%. The ZnS shell further provides an efficient passivation of the surface trap states, giving rise to an efficient PL emission. The PL lifetime of NCs was measured, and the relevant decay curve is depicted in Fig. 1(d); the results showed a double exponential character, with an averaged lifetime of 41 ns. The lifetime value is several orders of magnitude larger than that of organic molecules [15,16] due to the slow electron-hole recombination of the excitons in type II structures.\nThe temperature-dependent normalized PL spectra of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs under 325 nm excitation are presented in Fig. 2(a). It was found that with the rise in the temperature the PL peak photon energy decreased, while PL full width at half-maximum (FWHM) gradually increased. In addition, the photon energy of NCs at 300 K was redshifted by 54 meV compared with that at 10 K. The thermal shift of the bandgap and the broadening of the PL FWHM were induced by the thermal dilation of the crystal lattice and electron–phonon interactions . To qualitatively characterize the relevant physical parameters during such a process, the NCs’ peak photon energies at different temperatures are plotted in Fig. 2(c), which can be described by the Varshni formula:17]. According to the fitting results derived by using Eq. (1), the value of was determined to be 0.00021 eV/K. This value is 1 order of magnitude smaller than that of the ZnSe single crystal (0.00321 eV/K) but comparable to that of cubic NCs () .\nFigure 2(d) shows the temperature dependence of the PL FWHM of the free excitons of the NCs. The thermal broadening of the excitonic peak can be generally interpreted as exciton–phonon interactions. The temperature dependence of the PL FWHM can be approximately described by the following formula:2), is the inhomogeneous peak width at 0 K, while and are homogeneous PL spectrum broadening terms, which result from acoustic and longitudinal optical (LO) phonon scattering, respectively . The coefficients and represent the weights of the exciton–acoustic and LO phonon coupling strengths, respectively. is the phonon energy involved in LO phonon scattering. According to the fitting results based on Eq. (2), the values of , , and were determined as , 10.4 meV, and 19.9 meV, respectively. Again, the value of is 1 order of magnitude smaller than that of ZnSe single crystal (126 meV) . The small values of and in CdSe/CdS/ZnS NCs are indicative of the high PL color purity of NCs at elevated temperature, and the data can be interpreted as the strong quantum confinement of holes into the ZnSe core and lower density of surface defects due to the type II structure and shell passivation effect.\nA study on the carrier dynamics of type II heterostructured NCs is vital for their potential application in optoelectronic devices and biological science. Thus, by means of fs-TA spectroscopy, the dynamics of the injection of photo-induced electrons into the CdS shell, interfacial state bleaching, and charge separation time were investigated [9–12,19]. Figure 3(a) describes the delay time-dependent fs-TA spectra of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs, which are excited at 400 nm corresponding to the resonant excitation of the core (ZnSe). The fs-TA spectra in the 0–1 ps time window mainly consisted of one strong bleaching band (i.e., 460 nm) that can be attributed primarily to state filling in the ZnSe, as well as small-amplitude photo-induced bleaching band between 550 and 650 nm.\nWith the increase of delay time, the ZnSe bleaching amplitude decreased accompanied by the appearance of another bleaching band at 500 nm, which was induced by the charge transfer from ZnSe to CdS. Therefore, the bleaching signal at 500 nm should be assigned to the state filling in the CdS. In order to confirm the origin of bleaching band at 550–650 nm, the fs-TA spectra of NCs were recorded under 600 nm, which were dramatically different from those in case of 400 nm excitation. On this condition, the photon energy is smaller than the bandgap values of both ZnSe and CdS. It was found that the bleaching signals of CdS and the band between 550 and 650 nm appeared instantaneously [Fig. 3(b)], indicating that the two transitions share an electron state. Therefore, the bleaching signal at 550–650 nm arose from the 1Sh(ZnSe)–1Se(CdS) interfacial transition, which is thought of as a hole localized in the ZnSe core and an electron in the CdS shell.\nFigure 3(c) shows the decay dynamics of the bleaching signals for ZnSe (460 nm), CdS (500 nm), and interfacial state (625 nm). The carriers occupying the ZnSe conduction band at 460 nm decay rapidly, while the bleaching signals for both CdS and interfacial state gradually increase. Considering the bandgap alignment of ZnSe and CdS [inset of Fig. 3(c)], the observed rise in the bleaching signals of CdS can be partly attributed to the relaxation of hot electrons from the higher lying ZnSe conduction band. It can be estimated that the electron injection time into the CdS shell is about 308 fs. In addition, the rise of interfacial state signal () corresponds to the electrons leaving the ZnSe core to become localized in the interfacial state.\nConsidering the large energy offset in ZnSe and CdS, it should produce an efficient charge separation and thus extensive spectral shift in fs-TA spectra. In order to estimate the spatial separation of charges of NCs, their fs-TA spectra at different delay times were compared [Fig. 3(d)]. It was found that the interfacial state bleaching gradually shifted toward longer wavelength with the increase of delay time, which could be considered as a result for charge separation in the NCs [inset of Fig. 3(d)]. Figure 3(e) shows the temporal evolution of the spectral position for the interfacial state bleaching. By fitting the dynamic curve, the charge separation time in the ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs was determined as about 230 ps, which was much longer compared with the (ZnSe/CdS)/CdS heterostructured NRs , indicating a more complete charge separation in the former.\nBased on the procedures described in previous literature [20,21], the linear absorption cross section () of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs was determined through the measurement of the excited intensity-dependent ground-state bleaching (GSB) signal amplitude at a long delay time (1 ns) (Fig. 4). The solid curve is the best-fitting line based on the following equation:20,21]. The value of was determined as at 350 nm, with a corresponding molar extinction coefficient of .\nFigure 5(a) shows the PL emission spectra excited with different intensities at the wavelength of 800 nm. It was found that the emission intensity is proportional to the square of the excitation optical intensity, which thus indicates that the 2PA mechanism is involved . The open-aperture z-scan technique was utilized to determine the 2PA cross sections . The z-scan data of pure solvent (toluene) and the NCs solution are presented in Fig. 5(b). The comparison of normalized transmittance of the NCs solution and toluene suggests that the signals of the former contributed by the solvent are much smaller compared with the latter. The wavelength dispersion of the 2PA cross section is presented in Fig. 5(c). It was found that the 2PA peaked at an energy that was higher with respect to the energy for the first one-photon absorption peak, due to the different selection rule between one- and two-photon excitation . The value of the maximum 2PA cross section of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs (3717 GM) was on the same order as that of ZnSe spherical NCs at the wavelength of 806 nm (4900 GM) reported by Lad et al. . It should be noted that Ref. did not investigate the wavelength dispersion of 2PA cross sections. In addition, the epitaxial growth of CdS and ZnS shells onto the ZnSe core not only enhances the photostability but also enlarges the Stokes shift. The abovementioned features are significant for applications in bioimaging application.\nCompared with two-photon microscopy, the three-photon excitation method can provide a greater penetration depth and higher resolution [25,26]. Encouraged by the large 2PA of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs, the wavelength dispersion of the 3PA cross section was subsequently investigated. Based on the incident power-dependent PL spectra excited at 1300 nm, it was found that the PL intensity varies linearly with the cubic of incident power intensity, which thus demonstrates that 3PA indeed occurs [Fig. 6(a)]. The z-scan technique was also used to determine 3PA cross sections at different wavelengths, with one example at 1300 nm given in Fig. 6(b). From the wavelength dispersion of 3PA cross sections [Fig. 6(c)], it could be seen that the maximum 3PA cross section appeared at 1220 nm, with a relevant value of . The wavelength dependence of the 3PA cross section followed well with the trend of the linear absorption spectrum, which thus indicates that a similar selection rule was involved in the cases of one- and three-photon processes. Interestingly, such a wavelength dispersion of a 3PA cross section has never been revealed in previous literature, and this is of importance for applications in optoelectronic devices and deep-tissue bioimaging.\nIn summary, one kind of type II ZnSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell NCs with red PL emission was synthesized, and their linear and nonlinear photophysical properties were comprehensively investigated. Their excitonic properties were revealed through the measurements of temperature-dependent PL spectra. Based on the experimental results derived by using fs-TA spectroscopy, the photo-induced electron injection from core shell, interfacial state bleaching process, as well as charge separation process were investigated. Interestingly, the wavelength dispersion of MPA cross sections of ZnSe/CdS/ZnS NCs has been reported. The good linear and nonlinear photophysical properties demonstrate these are promising materials for various optoelectronic devices and deep-tissue bioimaging.\nNatural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province (2018A030310637, 2019A1515012094); Department of Education of Guangdong Province (2018KTSCX19).\nX.

The Macadamia tree from Australia, a favored nut tree, is a member of the Proteaceae family. There is a variety of Protea available for use in the landscape. Protea’s bloom is off-season, providing an exotic effect in the late fall and winter. They grow best in poor, well-drained, sandy/rocky, slightly acidic soil. Clay soils will not support Protea without intense amendment; consult an expert for guidance if you have clay soils and want to grow Proteas. Protea prefers full sun with breezes and good air circulation. Avoid planting densely, and do not fertilize Protea, as concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus can be fatal. Irrigate very sparingly. Proteas can extract moisture from the fog through their leaves, and their root systems are highly adapted for dry soil conditions. Visit local nurseries and garden centers for more information.

Aquatic life in natural streams consists of a diverse array of microbes, fungi, aquatic vegetation, invertebrates and fish. With the exception of direct spills of ammonia into streams, nutrients are not typically toxic to aquatic life. However, increased nutrient enrichment can result in detrimental ecological effects, including increased aquatic vegetation which can lead to reduced dissolved oxygen.\nSome aquatic species provide important information on nutrient conditions\nIncreased growth of aquatic vegetation (algae and plants) leads to increases in the types of fish and invertebrate species that can better tolerate nutrient pollution — those that eat algae or thrive in streams that have wide daily changes in dissolved oxygen associated with algal growth. Streams dominated by species able to live in low dissolved oxygen — common carp, green sunfish, and white suckers or algivores — indicate nutrient enrichment in the stream. However, it is often the in-stream habitat that determines community composition more than nutrient concentrations. Given the complex nature of nutrient impacts on algal biomass and biological communities, the use of multiple lines of evidence — chemistry, algal biomass, and biological community data — is necessary to determine the true nutrient condition within the stream.\nOther nutrient related information (click on link and it would go to the next page): Measuring water quality using biological communities –> Do you have content for this yet?

There was a significant negative relation in fish communities for dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus at concentrations of 0.61 and 0.06 milligrams per liter, respectively. Results suggest that the control of toxins and oxygen demanding wastes to rivers is insufficient to protect aquatic life, and confirms the importance of non-point sources of pollution when environmental managers address the issue.\nMorgan, A.M., Royer, T.V., David, M.B., and Gentry, L.E., 2006.

Median concentrations of algal biomass in Indiana streams were 41.2 millgram per meter squared for periphyton chlorophyll a (CHLa), 52.1 grams per meter squared for ash-free-dry mass, 2.44 milligrams per liter for seston CHLa, and 0.75 milligrams per liter for particulate organic carbon. Approximately 32 percent of the periphyton CHLa and 6 percent of the seston CHLa samples would be considered eutrophic according to Dodds and others (1998) nutrient boundary levels. There were no significant relations among nutrients and periphyton or seston CHLa parameters. The only significant positive relations were observed between summer Particulate organic carbon (POC) and summer total phosphorus as well as summer POC and summer total Kjeldahl nitrogen.\nCaskey, B.J. and Frey, J.W., 2009.

Despite having a gradient of nutrient concentrations of low to high in August, the algae, fish, and invertebrate communities all reflected eutrophic conditions.

U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2010-5026, 35 p., plus CD-Rom containing eight appendixes.\nNotes: This study found that biological communities from 321 sites in Indiana were dominated by eutrophic species and the initial relations between the causal (total nitrogen, total phosphorus, periphyton and seston chlorophyll a, and turbidity) and response (biological communities and attributes) variables were weak. Consequently, analytical and ecological censoring methods were used, which strengthened the relations between the causal and response variables. Breakpoints were calculated for the ecological and statistical significant relations. Total nitrogen breakpoints ranged from 2.4 to 3.3 milligrams per liter, suggesting hypereutrophic conditions and the total phosphorus breakpoints ranged from 0.042 to 0.129 milligrams per liter, suggesting mesotrophic to eutrophic conditions when compared to Dodds trophic classifications.\nFrey, J.W., Bell, A.H., Hambrook Berkman, J.A., and Lorenz, D.L., 2011. Assessment of nutrient enrichment by use of algal-, invertebrate-, and fish-community attributes in wadeable streams in ecoregions surrounding the Great Lakes. U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2011–5009, 49 p.\nNotes: The objective of this study was to determine the algal, invertebrate, and fish taxa and community attributes that best reflect the effects of nutrients along a gradient of low to high nutrient concentrations in wadeable, primarily Midwestern streams in Nutrient Ecoregions VI, VII, and VIII. The results indicated breakpoints from all biological communities that were generally 3–5 times higher in the south than the north. In the north, breakpoints with similar lower concentrations were found for total nitrogen from all biological communities (around 0.60 milligram per liter) and for total phosphorus (between 0.02 and 0.03 milligram per liter) for the algae and invertebrate communities.\nCaskey, B.J., Bunch, A.R., Shoda, M.E., Frey, J.W., Selvaratnam Shivi, and Miltner, R.J., 2012.

U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2012–5243, 28 p.\nNotes: The total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in this study showed a nutrient gradient that spanned three orders of magnitude. Sites were divided into Low, Medium, and High nutrient groups based on the 10th and 75th percentiles. The invertebrate and fish communities were similar along the nutrient gradient, using an analysis of similarity, demonstrating there was not a species trophic gradient. Within all nutrient groups, invertebrate and fish communities were dominated by nutrient tolerant taxa (algivores, herbivores, and omnivores) that included invertebrates. To determine if low nutrient concentrations at some sites were caused by algal uptake and not oligotrophic conditions, sites with low nutrient concentrations (less than 10th percentile for TN or TP) were examined based on the Low (less than or equal to the 10th percentile) and High (greater than the 75th percentile) periphyton CHLa concentrations. Within low nutrient sites, the invertebrate and fish communities were statistically different between Low and High periphyton CHLa categories.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "University of Alaska Fairbanks Campus\nAdm Svcs Ctr Rm 109\nFairbanks, AK 99709\nThis data set contains detailed community information for regions of Canada and Alaska.

This can happen when you do not get enough iron from your diet or lose too much blood due to injury or heavy menstrual periods. If you’re wondering, “how soon after taking iron supplements will I feel better”, this article should help to guide you.\nIron deficiency anaemia causes symptoms that include fatigue, dizziness and irritability. Luckily, there is a simple treatment for iron deficiency. The most common treatment is taking an iron supplement on a daily basis; how long this treatment will take to make you feel better depends on how severe your condition is.\nWhat is iron-deficiency anaemia?\nIron-deficiency anaemia is a condition that develops when you don’t get enough iron from your diet or if you have lost too much blood. Iron is essential for haemoglobin production, which is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen around the body. If you don’t get enough iron in your diet or have a condition that causes excessive bleeding, this can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia.\nWhat are the symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia?\nIf you have iron-deficiency anaemia, the following symptoms may develop:\n- fatigue and weakness\n- heart palpitations\n- brittle nails\n- hair loss or thinning\n- pale skin and lips\n- cold hands and feet\n- sore or inflamed tongue\n- unusual cravings\nThe symptoms may vary depending on how severe your deficiency is. If left untreated, symptoms will become worse. A simple blood test can determine if you are deficient.\nWhat causes iron-deficiency anaemia?\nIron deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t have enough iron to create haemoglobin or is lacking in other essential vitamins and minerals. These are the most common causes:\n- Lack of iron in the diet. Vegetarians and vegans are at a higher risk of developing a deficiency.\n- Blood loss from menstruation or heavy periods.\n- Blood loss in the digestive tract. Ulcers and colon polyps may bleed in the digestive tract and lead to iron-deficiency anaemia.\n- An inability to absorb iron. Absorption issues with the gut can lead to a deficiency of many vitamins and minerals, not just iron.\n- Pregnancy. Iron supplements are commonly required in pregnancy as the body needs to increase blood stores.\nWhat is the most common treatment for iron deficiency anaemia?\nThe most common course of action for a patient suffering from iron deficiency anaemia will be to take an oral supplement. The supplements available are usually tablets that can be taken between one and three times a day as recommended by your doctor.\nTypical iron supplements include:\nHow soon after taking iron supplements will I feel better?\nThis all depends on the severity of your deficiency. For a mild deficiency, you could start to feel better a few days after starting treatment. It’s important that you don’t stop taking the supplements once you feel better as you need to give your body time to restore its iron levels.\nFor a mild deficiency, you will likely have to take iron supplements for a specific period and then return to your doctor for another blood test. This will confirm if the treatment has worked.\nFor more severe deficiencies, it could take weeks or even months before you feel better. In this instance, you will likely need to keep taking iron supplements as part of your daily routine.\nWhen you take iron supplements, you may notice some unpleasant side effects. These include:\n- dark stools\nYou can manage these side effects by taking your iron supplements with a meal. You should also avoid drinking tea or coffee close to taking your iron supplements. This is because caffeine prevents your body from absorbing iron.\nHaving too much iron in your body can also cause problems, so it’s important to only take iron supplements if your doctor recommends it.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Single Status Update\nA least we can enter a winter this time knowing that there's a good chance it should be better this time around.

The Benguela Current Convention (BCC) protects the marine biodiversity of the area and integrates it into a concept for sustainable development. The ecosystem is nevertheless under increasing threat and to counteract this, the project is improving sustainable management by developing the relevant know-how of the BCC and its members, including the identification of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSAs) and advising the project partners on establishing an adequate management system. The project also institutionalises and implements a regionally coordinated approach to marine spatial planning (MSP). Experiences, results, concepts and instruments for the management of EBSAs and MRP are disseminated throughout the region and beyond in order to integrate them into national, regional and international policy and negotiation processes.\nState of implementation/results\n- The three baseline mapping reports for the most important marine resources and sectoral marine uses in the ecosystem are available.\n- In South Africa, the development of the national status report on marine biodiversity published at the end of 2019 was substantially supported and serves as an important contribution to the baseline mapping report.\n- The draft of the marine spatial plan for the central coast of Namibia has been coordinated on a technical level and is available.\n- The draft marine spatial plan for Angola's central coastal region was coordinated at a technical level and approved by the directors of the main ministries.\n- The development of the South African strategic document for the implementation of marine spatial planning (MSP), which provides the framework and guideline for the development of the four sub-national marine spatial plans, is in the final stages of technical and political coordination. The first marine spatial plan is currently being developed by the national working group.\n- In all three countries, national and cross-border EBSA (\"ecologically or biologically significant marine areas\") descriptions were revised (16) or newly defined (12). These are used in the spatial planning process and are the basis for the designation of new marine protected areas. For Namibia, two new EBSAs and five already identified EBSAs have already been revised. In March 2020, Namibia submitted these EBSAs to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Angola and South Africa also plan to submit the new and revised EBSAs to the CBD.\n- The regional protocol on marine spatial planning under the regional Benguela Current Convention (BCC) was adopted by the BCC Commission in October 2018 and serves as a regional guideline for the implementation of marine spatial planning.\n- In Namibia, a Blue Economy Policy was developed in 2019 by an inter-ministerial committee, which represents an overarching framework for marine spatial planning.\n- In mid-August 2019, Angolan President João Lourenço issued a decree establishing a 16-member ministerial-level body on maritime affairs, which has already begun its work.\n- In July 2019, members of the South African Working Group on Marine Spatial Planning conducted a study trip to Germany and Sweden.\n- South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the MSP Act at the end of April 2019, creating the legal framework for MSP. Training workshops on marine spatial planning were conducted in the three target countries with strong participation of all relevant sector ministries. The project has supported the formation of national and regional interministerial working groups on EBSAs and marine spatial planning.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "LOC Destructions Presents: I Want You To Know Something\nI Want You To Know Something is an experimental short.

(Oct. 23, 2019) — A small group of pipeline opponents from Chester and Delaware counties is waging a last-ditch effort to petition an administrative law judge to shut down the legally permitted Mariner East pipeline network in proceedings scheduled before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in West Chester Wednesday and Thursday.\nThe case is being heard by Administrative Law Judge Elizabeth Barnes, who at one point last year sided with opponents in an appeal and issued a ruling that shut down Mariner East 1 and halted construction of Mariner East 2, before that ruling was overturned by the full PUC. Later that same year, however, the same judge ruled against opponents on another appeal.\n“The facts are clear: Mariner East is safe, legally permitted, and in compliance with strict requirements for pipeline construction and operation,” said Kurt Knaus, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Energy Infrastructure Alliance. “In fact, even the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has acknowledged that its ‘permits are among the most stringent DEP has ever issued for this type of construction activity.’”\nPEIA is a multi-faceted, broad-based, statewide coalition comprising labor, agriculture, conservation groups, manufacturers, and other industrial and business interests that have pushed for more than four years for the safe, responsible development of pipelines and energy infrastructure projects in the commonwealth.\n“This latest appeal is opponents’ last-ditch effort to shut down one pipeline that is operating safely and halt construction of another that is about 98 percent completed,” Knaus said. “You have a handful of people who opposed a project that benefits so many, and that so many others really, truly support and want. This pipeline is good news for businesses that will benefit from its construction and operation, and for the workers who directly benefit from the resurgence that this infrastructure continues to bring to our state.”\nAmong some of the key facts:\n- REGULATIONS: Projects like this undergo immense regulatory and public scrutiny, with special conditions for Mariner East that go beyond existing state law requirements, according to the Department of Environmental Protection. DEP spent more than 20,000 hours on project permits and responded to 29,000 comments after a series of statewide public hearings as part of a review process that stretched more than three years. That’s why, according to the department, the “permits are among the most stringent DEP has ever issued for this type of construction activity.”\n- CONSTRUCTION: Pipelines must adhere to strict state and federal regulation throughout pipeline construction, testing and infrastructure replacement to ensure system integrity. Additionally, the Mariner East 2 pipeline is being constructed by Pennsylvania’s skilled union labor, which requires safety training and high-quality standards of performance for its work.\n- SAFETY: Study after study shows that pipelines are the safest, most efficient way to transport energy resources. According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the natural gas delivery system is actually the safest form of energy delivery in the country. The fact is that if this pipeline is halted, this product will be getting to market via trucks and rail that pass through communities like those in Chester and Delaware counties.\n- RISK ASSESSMENT: In November, Delaware County released the results of its own risk assessment. Among its findings: living near Mariner East is significantly safer than other common activities. Specifically, it found that “a person is 20 times more likely to die from a traffic accident or fall from stairs and 35 times more likely to die from a house fire than from an incident involving the Mariner East 2 pipeline 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” That report confirmed project safety.\n- EMERGENCY RESPONSE: The builder of the pipeline annually offers awareness and emergency response training sessions with local first responders, officials and excavators across its pipeline system. A supplemental training effort, the Mariner Emergency Responder Outreach (MERO) program, provided responders with additional guidance on hazardous materials and public safety sources. The MERO program has trained 2,350 individuals since 2013 across the pipeline’s entire footprint.\n- OVERSIGHT: The Public Utility Commission has been an effective and tireless watchdog, as its actions prove. The PUC earlier upheld an administrative law judge’s decision against opponents’ claims that the Mariner East projects are unsafe and need to be stopped.\n- LEGAL CHALLENGES: Courts at every level in Pennsylvania continue to strike down or rule against frivolous lawsuits brought against the project with no other aim other than stalling or halting construction. Most recently, Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court reversed a June 2018 order that resulted from a taxpayer-funded lawsuit brought by Sen. Andy Dinniman, finding the senator lacked either legislative or personal standing to file his complaint. It was just the latest in a string of rulings that favor of the pipeline development project.\n- ECONOMICS: Nearly 98 percent fully complete now, Mariner East 2 represents one of the biggest economic opportunities Pennsylvania has seen in generations — a $9.1 billion investment that will support over 57,000 jobs and generate an estimated $122 million to the state during construction.\nFor more than four years, the Pennsylvania Energy Infrastructure Alliance has advocated for the safe, responsible development of critical infrastructure.

The rebellion is rampant.\nPastors have died because they were uninformed and ignorant. Don’t be a rebel. Wearing a mask is not about you.\nAmid this cultural conflict, Christians should adopt Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) as a guiding principle. Here’s how I understand this command to relate to the Pandemic. I always wear a mask whenever I am around non-family members. The science that says masks protect others and me, and I want to do nothing to harm my neighbor. If there is even a chance that not wearing a mask could infect others, I choose not to take that chance. And I choose not to give offense to my neighbor (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:32) who believes that my mask-wearing protects them.\nProtecting yourself and others is not risky. It’s smart.\nEveryone who caught the virus wishes they would have taken the virus seriously.\nMy goal is not to persuade you, but to inform you.\n- Find more than one source of news\n- Validate your opinion with good news sources\n- Take God’s side on issues\n- Don’t be a conspiracy spreader\n- Avoid a rebellious attitude (it’s not about you)\n- Think about others\nAs believers, we need wisdom like never before.

The Village View lot is now a paid, reservation-based lot on weekends and peak periods and the Lower Village preferred paid parking lot now requires reservations on weekends and peak periods. Learn more about their changes here.\nThe resort’s updated system aims to improve the overall experience for visitors and residents during busy ski days by reducing the number of vehicle trips on state Route 267 by incentivizing carpool, park and ride and available transit options.\nUnder the new parking enforcement agreement, Northstar will contact Placer County’s team of officers as back-up to their third-party parking enforcement team. The county has added staff to manage parking regulations throughout eastern Placer County and address spillover parking within nearby neighborhoods. Northstar will be charged for county staff time necessary to address any requested enforcement.\nWhen called, county staff will cite vehicles parked without a valid resort parking reservation. Fine amounts escalate for each additional violation. The first parking fine for a ticket issued by the county will be $150 for unauthorized parking on private property. The second violation will be $250 and the third and all subsequent violations will cost $450. View the county’s updated parking fine amounts here.\nThe agreement is part of Placer County’s larger Parking Management Program being developed for the North Lake Tahoe area, which aims to better manage the existing parking supply in the region and encourage carpooling and the use of free transit options as recommended in the county’s Resort Triangle Transportation Plan.\nFor more information about the Placer County Parking Management Program, visit placer.ca.gov/8857/Parking-Management-Program.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Watch Ireland vs Wales Live stream Guinness Six Nations Rugby Live 2020 Watch 4K using by pc, tv, laptop, mobile or any kinds of devices without any buffering.

These new companies are making plant-based meat, dairy, or fish substitutes, working to commercialize lab-grown meat, and incorporating insects into foods like pasta and energy bars.\nThe global production of food is responsible for a third of all planet-heating gases emitted by human activity, with the use of animals for meat causing twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods, a major new study has found.\nIn February last year, the head of a leading global meat industry body gave a “pep talk” to his colleagues at an Australian agriculture conference.\nI’m a big believer in each of us working to reduce our own emissions. But some things are harder than others, and for me I’m pretty stuck on dairy, and especially cheese.

In total, they account for 3.7 percent of the United States’ total greenhouse gas emissions, and nearly half of all agricultural emissions, Inside Climate News reported.

And no matter how small they may seem in the face of the herculean challenges we as a society face, our individual choices do matter. In that spirit, one pillar to consider is your beauty routine. More specifically, what you buy, how often you buy it, and whether it ends up in a landfill at the end of your use. This is because the beauty industry is among the world’s largest polluters. According to Euromonitor International, 152.1 billion units of beauty and personal-care packaging were sold globally in 2018 alone, much of which will never be recycled.\n“I am grateful that sustainability has become a major focus for consumer products recently,” says Mia Davis, vice president of sustainability and impact at Credo Beauty. “Sustainability in beauty means that the work we do now–the resources we extract, the stuff we make–will not compromise people’s ability to do the same in the future.”\nWhile change can be daunting, rest assured that being an environmentally conscious consumer and being passionate about your beauty routine aren’t mutually exclusive. “As someone who has always loved beauty, I didn’t want to give that up as I started to transition to a more sustainable lifestyle,” explains sustainability expert and low-waste living content creator Jhánneu. “Many people think they have to give up their lifestyles to be sustainable, but it really comes down to just finding better alternatives.” As a former self-proclaimed Sephora junkie, Ashlee Piper, an eco-lifestyle expert and author of Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet, knows firsthand it can–and needs–to be done.\n“While I love a good haul and discovering new, niche beauty companies [to support], when it comes to creating excess that’s detrimental for the planet and our wallets, beauty and grooming items are right up there,” explains Piper, citing that as of 2018, the beauty and personal care industry has created almost 8 billion rigid plastic packaging units per year in the U.S. alone. “I began evangelizing about paring down and being more mindful about our beauty-product consumption because it’s the unsung area of personal sustainability.”\nThere’s no time to wait or waste as the alarm over climate change is “ringing at a fever pitch,” according to United Nations secretary-general António Guterres. “Sustainability-minded people used to have a longer time horizon,” says Davis, “but as climate change, toxic chemical production, and the global waste crisis have all rapidly accelerated, protecting the future is an urgent mandate!” Here, a trio of sustainability experts breaks down how to make your beauty routine more eco-friendly.\nUse Up What You Have\n“There’s often this impetus in anything new people undertake, but especially in sustainable living, that in order to ‘do it right,’ you have to rid your life of all the old, bad, plastic-cloaked stuff and go out and buy all new eco-friendly stuff,” says Piper. “That’s simply not true; in fact, it’s worse. I always encourage people to work with what they have.” Simply put, the first step to making your beauty routine more eco-friendly is: Use up anything you have before you buy a replacement. If there’s something you can’t make use of, you want to give it a circular second life. “The way we offload items at their end of usefulness to us is just as important as how and what we acquire new,” explains Piper. “So if something isn’t your color or isn’t working for you, consider selling it on Poshmark, offering it up to your neighborhood Buy Nothing Facebook group (makeup, even used makeup, goes like hotcakes in my group), or giving some to a friend who loves to experiment with new-to-them products.”\nBuy More Ethically, Environmentally-Friendly, and—Most Important—Less\nIn navigating the oversaturated beauty and personal-care market, packaging should be your first area of focus. “What you want to look for is something that has compostable, easily recyclable, refillable, or reusable packaging—or better yet, no packaging,” says Piper. In terms of plastic alternatives, Jhánneu tends to look for more sustainable and easily recyclable materials, like aluminum, bamboo, and glass.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Prince Fielder Wiki, Biography, Age as Wikipedia\nPrince Fielder is an American former professional baseball first baseman and designated hitter, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, and Texas Rangers.

It was also the year in which the Climate Centre took its programme of reality-based games, intended to help Red Cross Red Crescent disaster-managers and others make better decisions, into the educational mainstream.\nMore than 120 game events in at least 30 countries reached some 3,000 stakeholders this year – ranging from subsistence farmers developing contingency plans for flooding to finance-ministry staff involved in an Africa-wide disaster insurance project.\nClimate Centre games were also played at the White House, on the fringes of the UNFCCC’s COP18 meeting in Qatar, and at the consultative group of the World Bank Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction.\nThe Climate Centre successfully designed, tested and used participatory games, working with academic partners like Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. Humanitarian topics covered included:\n- Decision-making from weather forecasts\n- Combating dengue fever\n- Optimizing logistics\n- Urban infrastructure\n- Gender issues\n- Diversifying agricultural smallholdings.\nGames such as Upstream/Downstream, Climate and Gender, Paying for Predictions, and Humans versus Mosquitoes, engaged players in simulated reality and helped them toward “constructive dialogue and learning on practice and policy for the better management of climate risk,” according to Carina Bachofen, a senior games specialist with the Climate Centre.\n“Our games created an atmosphere of collaboration and mutual understanding in the most diverse contexts,” she adds.\nThe Climate Centre also expanded its efforts to engage practitioners and policy-makers in the design of new games, to promote important lessons that emerge from their work and would be valuable for others.\nIt collaborated with the Pardee Center at Boston University to publish Games for a New Climate: Experiencing the Complexity of Future Risks.\nMedia and online coverage of Climate Centre experience with games has been extensive: from a multitude of tweets and blogs targeting the climate-science, development and humanitarian communities to coverage by leading outlets like Reuters, US National Public Radio, and newspapers worldwide.\n“As interest in participatory games for learning and dialogue grows among a great variety of people,” says Bachofen, “2013 offers exciting opportunities for us to develop and learn more from participatory games.”\nA plan for the training of facilitators of games is also expected to be rolled out next year.\nStudents at the Hanoi’s University of Science and Technology play Humans versus Mosquitoes.

But everyone can get back to work now!\n273 Chris D said on the arctic ice thread, “Suppose, for example, that CAFE standards have limited consumption”\n1. CAFE standards are broken. electrical vehicles are given a 2/3rds benefit for no reason at all. This means that CAFE increases just force emissions from oil to coal and methane. NO carbon reduction at all. It’s all about externalizing.\n2. My post was about the world, not the USA. Yep, drop US consumption of oil and oil prices will drop, but that will increase oil consumption, as oil production is based on essentially free production VS any old price. So, drop the price and producers scramble to INCREASE production to make up for the shortfall. Seriously, what will Saudi do if their GNP drops by ~60%? Drill, baby, drill.\nThe potential market for oil at $25 a barrel is HUGE. Drop oil prices through conservation, and you just increase the market. All those 3rd worlders suddenly can afford to ditch the bicycle… (Damn them! So uppity…)\nJim Larsen, are you making the “long tailpipe” argument? You should know that’s flawed, even without making the further point that coal and gas also need replacing with renewables.\nTo change the subject from Arctic to Antarctic for a second,\nMany of you will remember the ‘skeptic’ blogosphere Steig-bashing frenzy after O’Donnell et al 2010 was published.\nNew bolehole data is available from Orsi et al 2012, which again confirms Steig’s reconstructed trend at the WAIS divide.\nOver at WUWT, I am trying to get a scientific answer on what Orsi et al means for the results of the O’Donnell et al paper.\nNow, you need to kind of wrestle your way through the ad hominems and Steig-bashing (starting with the title), or you can start here where it gets very interesting :\nafter which Nic Lewis eventually states this :\nThe OLMC reconstruction 1957-2006 trend at Orsi’s borehole location is 0.13 C/decade below the mean of Steig’s and Orsi’s trends. Increasing the OLMC trend of the (infilled) Byrd station record by 0.13 C/decade to reflect that difference would leave the overall OLMC 1957-2006 continental trend below 0.07 C/decade – still insignificant.\nIn other words, if the O’Donnell et al reconstructed trend at the WAIS divide would be adjusted to the Orsi et al borehole data, the overall trend result from O’Donnell et al for the entire continent would become +0.07 C/decade +/- 0.08 C/decade.\nWhich reduces the claims that O’Donnell shows that “whole of the continent is not warming” to a rasor-thing margin.\nThat’s quite interesting, no ?\nNow I have TWO co-authors (Nic Lewis and Jeff Condon) giving arguments that are over my head :\n“…PCA creates false resonances in the spatial temperature information. These show up as Chadni patterns…” and I am\n“confusing Steig’s reconstruction trend for the grid cell containing Byrd with Steig’s actual trend for the infilled Byrd station record”, and “Steig’s 1957-2006 trend for the infilled Byrd station record was only 0.135 C/decade, NOT 0.23 C/decade”.\nWhat does that all mean, and are these comments relevant to O’Donnell at al’s trend reconstruction in the face of new temperature data (such as the Orsi et al borehole data) ?\nThis may be a repeat; CAPTCHA is causing me problems.\n“I would expect to see unfounded optimism on certain websites out there, but hearing it from someone who has been reading RealClimate for some years is quite astounding.”\nLet me place your comment in its larger context. There is a belief on blogs such as this that if only the electorate were to get the Truth about climate change, there would be major actions taken to dodge the bullet. Further, the blame for no action on climate change is usually placed upon the ‘deniers’, the fossil fuel companies that they faithfully serve, and the politicians that are bought and owned by these companies. My ‘take’ is that this is all a game. The electorate knows reasonably well that harm is being done to the climate. The central problem is that this knowledge is insufficient to spur the electorate into serious action.\nBasically, the electorate is addicted to a lifestyle that requires the intensive energy use that only fossil fuel can provide today. Like any addict, they are willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy their addiction, even if it means sacrificing the survivability of their progeny. The deniers are what Lenin used to call ‘useful idiots’. I don’t believe anyone takes them seriously, or even listens to them. The energy addicts may point to the deniers’ ravings to help justify their continued addiction. But, it’s convenient to point to the deniers, or the fossil fuel companies or the politicians for the source of inaction, rather than to the real problem, ourselves.\nI personally cannot understand what makes the deniers tick, or why they would spend time on a Web site such as this spouting what is obvious nonsense. But, they are the ‘shell’, and if we are to get out of this stalemate, we need to concentrate on the ‘pea’.\nAre their similar precedents in history? Take smoking, for example. In the early 50s, when I was at the smoking initiation age, it was well known that people who had been smoking for a few years had numerous sore throats, and some developed ‘smoker’s cough’. It was also well known that people who had smoked for a number of years could have emphysema or circulatory problems such as Burger’s Disease. and, we all knew people in their 40s and 50s who had developed lung cancer. Nevertheless, I don’t believe any of us were dissuaded from smoking because of the knowledge of potential adverse consequences. It was the macho thing to do, and there was strong peer pressure to do it. Advertisements bolstered the positive images.\nSmoking had its myriad deniers, bought and paid for by the tobacco companies. But, smokers would only reference them to help justify continuance of their habit; nobody believed their nonsense.\nIn 1964, the Surgeon General’s Report on smoking was issued, documenting its myriad problems. The evidence was probably ‘harder’ than that for some of the climate change predictions today. What impact did this relatively ‘hard’ information have on the smoking community?\nAccording to an interview I heard a couple of years ago with the NYT reporter who covers the tobacco industry, the answer was essentially none. 42% of the adults in 1964 smoked, and essentially none discontinued as a result of the report. What dropped the smoking rate to the 21% level today was economic penalties such as higher taxes and prices, mandates such as smoking exclusion zones, and some advertisement effect.\nNow, one might argue that the 1964 Report enabled the economic penalties and the mandates. I would argue that it helped, but the real reason the penalties and mandates were enacted was that 60% of the adult population did not smoke, and many, like myself, were offended by the smell. It was the will of the majority that smoking should be penalized and confined, and the Report was the tool that was used to justify the ‘will’.\nIn the intensive energy use case, the numbers are amplified and reversed. Rather than 42% addicts as in the smoking case, we probably have 95% or more addicts in the intensive energy use case. That’s why no action will be taken, no economic mandates or penalties will be issued, and no political initiatives will be taken. Unlike smoking, the energy addicts are the super-majority, and they will determine what actions the politicians take and what is done to the fossil fuel companies.\nSo, while your quote above is certainly valid, it’s being wasted on a nonsensical comment. We are the problem, and until we can be persuaded to alter our energy addiction radically, the problem will not be solved. As my other posts have shown, I believe we have gone past the point of no return already, but even if we haven’t, I see no initiatives to stop the train from going over the cliff.\n>> climate models today don’t incorporate many,\n>> if not most, of the positive feedback effects.\nCitation would be helpful.\nGot a list of what’s identified and weighed but not in the models?\nHere is some kryptonite for Superman 1’s argument. Read “The Carbon Buster’s Home Energy Handbook,” by Godo Stoyke, where one can learn how to save money while reducing atmospheric carbon. The charts of such things as embodied energy and maintenance energy are fascinating, and the savings can be considerable.\nThe actual cost of a pair of polyester pants and a superhero costume is pretty high. Steve\nRe 151 Jim Larsen –\nAn element of truth, of course. At least for the more familiar supply-demand slopes, If someone reduces their consumption, prices tend to fall, so others will tend to consume more.\nBut if others consumed exactly as much to keep the total consumption the same, prices would tend to remain the same (or at least on the same trajectory). The price has to stay lower in order to sustain the increase in consumption, so the increase in consumption must be limited somehow. That depends on the slopes of supply and demand. Add in the effect of some country also voluntarily reducing their production – the price would have to rise to keep global production the same.\nPS yes, EV’s mpgs are weird.\nfor ‘Solutions’ (not saying this is the best price on the thing or that I know anything about it, except I’ve read these things exist — people who monitor their electricty use realtime reportedly use less) http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Blue%20Line%20Innovations/BLI28000/\nOr there’s the much less expensive tool that’s been around a while: Kill A Watt™, for example http://eshop.macsales.com/item/P3%20International/P4400/\n“Nature always seems to exxaggerate these changes, prior to a pull back, and similar to five years ago, I would expect that the sea ice minimum will be higher next year.”\nExpect away, Dan. You may be right, but forgive me if my expectations differ–I expect we’re in really new territory here, and what we have seen in the past may not be much of a guide to what comes next.\nSome reasons I think so can be gleaned from an article I just published:\n(And, FWIW, statements beginning with “Nature always seems…” always seem to make me, er, skeptical.)\nThe description of a new National Academies book on Himalayan glaciers starts: “Scientific evidence shows that most glaciers in South Asia’s Hindu Kush Himalayan region are retreating,” http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13449\nAndy Revkin translated this as “The bottom line — in sync with other recent analysis — is that the region is seeing a mix of changes, with glaciers growing in some places and shrinking in others and impacts on water supplies mostly inconsequential for decades to come.”\nMust be an election year.\nRe 130 Ron R. – a solution not for AGW in the near term, but maybe in some future situation(?): Giant space mirror/shade. Alternative – a lot of little ones (remote controlled steering with gyroscopes and solar-powered…?) . Key point: preferentially block the solar IR – specifically/especially the parts that tend to get absorbed by water vapor in the troposphere – therefore a cooling effect without the same reduction in global precipitation that one would get with aerosols (also may be important in considering photosynthesis and solar energy, depending on just how much cooling we’re trying to accomplish – although if the problem is the brightenning sun (~100s of millions of years from now?), simply blocking the whole spectrum may be just fine).\nIf we were going to emit aerosols I’d suggest something like crushed dunite. If it falls out to quickly at least it may take some CO2 with it – it would be interesting to compare the size of the two effects.\n152 Didact asks, “are you making the “long tailpipe” argument?”\nHeavens no. I’m saying that fossil fuels are way cheap except externalities. Thus, every barrel, every ton of coal, every cubic foot of methane WILL sell to somebody at some price. Yep, current electric cars produce more CO2 than fossil fuel cars, and that will remain the case for as long as current cars are still on the road, so every electric vehicle sold today makes global warming worse, but that’s minor. More important is that fossil fuel producers have no choice but to sell at any price. $100 a barrel? $50 a barrel? $25 a barrel? Still the same decision for the producer – drill, baby, drill before somebody stops the party by taxing fossil fuels out of the market and enforces the decision by embargoing nations that continue to consume. Coal is the current example. We as a nation chose to drop our coal consumption. This had little effect on coal production. We can drop our oil consumption as well, and similarly it will have little effect on oil production. Seriously, can you imagine a scenario where Saudi Arabia decides pumping oil for $2 and selling it for $25 isn’t worth the effort? Can you imagine a scenario where $25/barrel oil isn’t snatched up by somebody? Can you imagine renewables dropping to the actual cost of production for fossil fuels ($2-20/barrel)? If not, then obviously pricing or national policies can’t change oil/coal/gas production enough to matter, and there will ALWAYS be a willing buyer at a price above the cost of production. Drop the price, and producers MUST increase production. If the US burns coal and methane instead of oil, it just frees up somebody else to snatch up even more oil at a lower price.\nThe math is clear. 350 million = 25%. 7,000 million can slurp up 100% easily even if billions abstain.\nThe marketplace simply can’t drop fossil fuel production, and since we don’t have a one world government, there will always be willing consumers. All we can do by electrifying our cars is make gasoline cheaper for other folks, which means more gas will be consumed. (If the consumer is poorer, then producers will drop prices to match the ability to pay, and increase production to maintain profits.)\nWe tend to focus on the inelasticity of demand, but the REAL issue is inelasticity of supply. Drop consumption by 10% and prices will plummet. Producers simply can’t drop their production – even a cartel like OPEC has to struggle to drop production a couple percent. Once drilled, a well is essentially free money. Who’s gonna shut off their free-money machine?\nre: 159 Kill-a-Watt, etc\nThese things are so hard to use :-)\nA 12-year-old girl next door and her friend did a 2-week project where they checked their houses, found different profiles, vampires, etc, wrote up a nice project for school.\nI think they knocked off 20% of the usage just by having measured.\nEverybody I know who has ever done this has been surprised and gotten easy savings.\nJevons is highly over-interpreted.\nThe number of miles someone drives is not directly proportional to the gas price, that is, there is an elasticity curve and it is not linear. Nobody would spend every minute in their car just because gas price went to zero.\nSome electric utilities used tiered pricing, and if someone does efficiency improvements that lower their tier, they don’t turn around and try to use more to get back into a more expensive tier.\nNot exactly. Fossil fuel producers are surely aware that they are a doomed species. 100 years from now nobody is going to be buying fossil fuels. Thus, producers have a great incentive to sell as much as possible as soon as possible. Since fossil fuels are like software – essentially no cost per unit sold – price is irrelevant to production. This totally destroys the stereotypical demand/production curves.\nThe result is that price simply doesn’t matter. It’s a game. Charge as much as you can while pretending you could withhold production if prices were lower, but regardless of market forces, you WILL produce as much as humanly possible, and lower prices actually provide incentive for increased production. It’s amazing that the oil companies have been able to collude enough to prevent over-capacity. Seriously, can you imagine a FREE marketplace where a product sells for 1000% of its cost and yet production doesn’t increase beyond demand?\nIf I may, I would like to ask a very open-thready question, otherwise completely off topic.\nIt’s a basic question about atmospheric CO2. I occasionally talk to undergraduates about soil carbon storage, and relative global quantities in the air and ground comes up. To give perspective, I’ve estimated that if all the CO2 in the atmosphere was reduced to a layer of dry ice at the ground surface, it would be about 4 mm thick. Can anyone with a more knowledge confirm/refute this?\n“can you imagine a FREE marketplace where a product sells for 1000% of its cost and yet production doesn’t increase beyond demand?” hmmmm…cigarettes?\nKeep in mind that it’s not just the private companies, bad as they are. A lot of the top oil producers have state-owned companies like ARAMCO. And of course these same countries have formed OPEC specifically to control prices.\nAs to your other argument, it seems to boil down to “if I don’t do it, somebody else will”–not generally considered the highest level of moral justification for despicable behavior (burning up our children’s future).\n(reCaptcha: come one do wel)\nScience works by refutation of the hypothesis. The contrarians’ hypothesis is that our CO2 will not cause serious problems because Climate Sensitivity (CS) is low. They are coy about putting a number to it, but some go for 0 – 0.5*C.\nThis figure, and any figure below 1.5*C is refutable, is it not?\nWould it not help (to some extend at least) for the climate science community to issue a monograph that decisively refutes the contrarian hypothesis? Although nothing will stop the core ideologues, there are many genuinely confused journalists and politicians who are influenced by the obbligato of doubt played by the fossil fuel lobby.\nThey may not fully understand the science, but they can understand “disproven”, and a wider perception of the fact that the contrarians have no elastic in their low CS knickers may help us all to move on with the business of decarbonising the world economy.\nWorth a shot?\nDan Riseborough @165\n4mm sounds a bit on the low side to me!\nCO2=c400ppm at 2.13GtC/ppm = 850GtC = 3,200GtCO2.\nDry ice sg = c1.5 so your layer has volume = 2,400e9 m^3 & area 510e12 m^2.\nThus thickness = 2.4/510 = 0.0047 m = 4.7 mm.\nBut then I may have placed a decimal point upside down here, or forgotten to divide by the number I first thought of.

Consider that the hottest point on the planet at any given time of the year is the point directly facing it. Areas with glancing rays are a lot cooler, with cooling increasing in proportion to angle. Thus summer and winter. If we simply focused on the focal point, keep the filter in a solar (not geo obviously) orbit, say mid way (not clear on that) between the earth and the moon such that that point is, wherever it is on the earth at any given time of the year, shaded that may be enough to offset increased warming due to CO2.\nPerhaps easier said then done.\n#169 MARoger #165 #174 Dan Riseborough\nOr, slightly more accurately,\nCO2=c391ppm at 2.13GtC/ppm = 833GtC = 3,054GtCO2.\nDry ice sg = c1.56 so your layer has volume = 2,308e9 m^3 & area 510e12 m^2.\nThus thickness = 2.308/510 = 0.0045 m = (perhaps only about) 4.5 mm.\nRon R. re extraterrestrial solar shading: Perhaps easier said then done.\nA solidly qualified candidate for understatement of the year!\nRe- my comment — 13 Sep 2012 @ 10:00 AM:\nOops, I screwed up my decimal. 1 mil would be 25 microns. 25.4 to be exact.

You appear to be demonstrating arithmetical skills almost as dire as mine. The operative phrase you use is certainly “slightly more accurately.”\nThe most significant of the errors I managed @169 was in converting weight to volume. Dry Ice sg is actually rather variable (I see 1.4 – 1.6 quoted on Wikipedia & down as low as 1.2 elsewhere). But my attempt to divide by a quoted 1.5 turned into dividing by 1.333. So all in all, at 1.5sg it appears Dan Riseborough’s 20% error pretty much shrinks, not to your 12.5%, but to a massive zero. Hurrah.\nFor the record as graphed here, average annual CO2 is now above 393ppm.\n> filter in a solar (not geo obviously) orbit, say mid\n> way (not clear on that) between the earth and the moon\nYou’re thinking of L1:\nHank, what that page talks about is records. Sure there are individual places that are hotter than others. However you will notice that those record breaking locations are latitudinally all very similar. That’s because that’s where the sun hits the earth most directly. Place a screen on that trajectory between the earth and sun.\nI know you know this but here’s quote:\nThe same also holds for the Earth. The rays of the summer sun, high in the sky, arrive at a steep angle and heat the land much more than those of the winter sun, which hit at a shallow angle. Although the length of the day is an important factor in explaining why summers are hot and winter cold, the angle of sunlight is probably more important. In the arctic summer, even though the sun shines 24 hours a day, it produces only moderate warmth, because it skims around the horizon and its light arrives at a low angle.\nHank Roberts at 3:10 PM: You’re thinking of L1:\nAh, thanks. Hadn’t seen this comment before. That looks about right. I note though this:\nSide-effects include that, if this lens were built and global warming were avoided, there would be less incentive to reduce greenhouse gases, and humans might continue to produce too much carbon dioxide until it caused some other environmental catastrophe, such as a chemical change in ocean water that could be disastrous to ocean life.\nAnyway, that’s one solution. Maybe we should start lighting candles rather than just cursing the darkness.\nSorry. Looking at that wiki page I think I got distracted and forgot my point. The picture of the L1, yes, but that shows it shielding the entire planet. I’m not sure that would be necessary. Again, maybe just shielding a portion of it, at the latitude where it hits the most directly would be enough. Much more doable at least.\nThe idea of using mirrors or blocking it out entirely at a certain point though would not be advisable of course for a variety of reasons. But filtering it, allowing a diminished percentage of rays through which, taking into account the fact that more is bouncing around within the atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect, one could adjust the light to reflect normalcy I would think.\nSummer Rain More Likely Over Drier Soils, New Satellite Data Show\nwhich comes as a surprise?\nI’m trying to estimate how far down are we in the climate hole we have dug, and is it possible to dig our way out. If we use pre-industrial temperature as the base, we are about 0.8 C above that today. Already, we are seeing a sharp increase in extreme events, as Hansen’s recent paper has shown, we are probably seeing the disappearance of at least the Summer Arctic sea ice, and we are seeing substantive increases in Arctic methane emissions from the permafrost, wetlands, and water column. What is the evidence that precludes our being at the initial stages of a runaway positive feedback loop even at this level of temperature increase?\nIrrespective of future CO2 emissions, we have a ‘climate commitment’ of temperature increase from CO2 already placed in the atmosphere of about 0.7 C, due to lags in the system. That brings us to a temperature increase in a few decades of about 1.5 C. What is the evidence that precludes our being at some stage of a runaway positive feedback loop at this more substantive level of temperature increase?\nNow, in the limiting case that we terminate CO2 emissions tomorrow, the fossil sulphate aerosols that were placed in the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion will be naturally flushed in a relatively short time. These aerosols had a cooling effect on the Earth by effectively increasing its albedo, and the cooling effect will now be gone. The full heating due to the CO2 forcing will now be displayed. Different papers give different values for this aerosol increase, due to different assumptions on climate sensitivity and aerosol forcing, but recent papers estimate it could be as much as 1.0 C, or even higher. So, in a few decades, the total of the above temperature increases would be on the order of 2.5 C, with the possibility of being perhaps slightly higher.\nNow, these estimates are for what we have done to the climate so far. They do not include future CO2 increases, nor do they include the major positive feedbacks. Is there any evidence that we can avoid a runaway positive feedback loop at the 2.5 C temperature increase, seeing the feedbacks that have already come into play? In other words, is the game over based on what we have done to this point in time, never mind the additional damage we will do with continued fossil fuel combustion?\nBelow is a segment from an email I recently received regarding statements made by a scientist at APL. I am not an expert at remote sensing, so would greatly appreciate your responses to the statements made below. Many thanks in advance.\n“As far as I know, there is no reliable measure of average Earth temperature from space. There are many long-term Earth based measurements of temperature and CO2 from a variety of places that are used to try to reconstruct the “average” surface temperature.\nThe solar input is measured from space and there are about 30 years of high quality measurements by a half dozen or more spacecraft. However, the intercalibration among the separate satellites is not as good as needed. Each spacecraft has measurements of relative changes that are very good. They are looking at changes of 0.1% or less and the baseline offset from one spacecraft to another is larger than that. The lifetime of a single spacecraft is 3 to 10 years. So when they try to assemble a long-term trend they have to make their best estimate of the baseline offsets and some significant uncertainty remains. The NASA planned CLARREO mission is being designed to have the best absolute calibration of any mission so far. But it is still a few years off and it will then take a decade or more to start to get a measure of absolute solar input changes.”\n>The picture of the L1, yes, but that shows it shielding the entire planet. I’m not sure that would be necessary.\nIt shows a diffraction, not a shadow. It is not blocking the sunlight, it is dispersing it. You wouldn’t want to go the other way and concentrate the light.\nRe Hank Roberts – 172 – see “Global Physical Climatology” by Dennis L. Hartmann, for example.\nA majority of solar (mainly SW) heating occurs at (or somewhat under, as in the ocean) the surface, but a significant amount does occur in the atmosphere – some UV heating in the stratosphere, of course, and a larger amount in the troposphere, where SW radiation (but not visible – it’s IR but not LW (not terrestrial) is absorbed by water vapor, and some by clouds, and other gases. If this were absorbed at the surface instead, it wouldn’t have any effect on tropopause-level forcing (setting aside the increase in albedo by allowing more radiation the opportunity to be scattered/reflected), but it would increase the net radiant heating of the surface and thus increase convective cooling. On the other hand, if this radiation were blocked from reaching the Earth entirely, it would contribute (negatively) to tropopause-level forcing without affecting convection (specifically refering to that portion which is absorbed – of course atmospheric absorption depends on the sun’s angle (thus on latitude and time of year as well as day) and atmospheric H2O and clouds (and surface elevation), etc, so in practice it may be hard to have a cooling effect without reducing solar heating of the surface at all.\n(PS if you are going to selectively block wavelengths of radiation from reaching the Earth, be careful in the UV, because – my understanding is – shorter wavelength UV is necessary to produce ozone, which then absorbs longer wavelength UV.)\n> “As far as I know, there is no reliable measure of average Earth temperature from space.”\nTake it a step further even, there is no measure of Earth temperatures from space, at all. There is no such thing as a satellite thermometer, only a satellite model (as Stephen Schneider once put it).\nre 143 Russell –\nI did a quick read-through; I may have skipped a few parts.\n1. a heads up – I only openned it up in a new tab, and I closed some sort of popup that appeared in front of it.

I won’t go back and I’m probably not the best person to comment on it anyway, but …\n… I didn’t get how everything was derived or what exactly all the charts were about (it was a quick look that I took), but one thing that occured to me-\nif they averaged the PDSI for the whole country, or even just the 48 contiguous states (plus DC?), this would smush some floods into some droughts.\nI found one that had appeared on it’s own, that said something like ‘Whoa, are you sure you want to go there’ – from my antivirus/security software.\nTo be clear, there was the option of contuing to whatever that window was supposed to be. So the window itself was not openned by my security software – that just (I believe) prevented the window from going automatically to whatever it was supposed to be.\nA solar shield at L1 would not block the entire face of the sun, just enough to compensate for CO2 TOA forcing.\nRather than a “solution” to reduce GHG induced global warming, it is more interesting to see what the cost would be per ton CO2 emitted.\nThat puts a price on CO2, and thus we could balance that cost against alternatives.\nSo here is my back-of-the-envelope calculation on how much it would cost to put a space mirror in place that compensated for forcing caused by one ton CO2 :\nTo get an idea of how large the mirror would need to compensate for one ton CO2 emitted, we can calculate the ‘forcing’ that ton causes (since a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere from 280->560 ppmv causes about 3.7 W/m^2 forcing).\nIf you do the calculations with that it turns out that every ton of CO2 that we add to the atmosphere creates about 1 kW extra forcing (heating) for the planet and thus we need a space mirror of about 1 m^2.\nNext, the study below suggests that we could make autonomous operating space mirrors of micron-thin material which have a mass of only 4 gram/m^2. Current launch costs to bring a payload into high orbit (L1) is about $20,000 per kg. So the launch costs alone for a 4 gram 1 m^2 mirror which compensated for 1 ton CO2 is about $80.\n$80/ton CO2 is some $300/ton Carbon. And that’s just the launch cost.\nI’m sure that we can do much better things if we were only to recognized the real cost of repairing (some of) the disturbances that our carbon emissions cause.\nEither way, here is a NASA-supported study that investigates a hypothetical system that could possibly block enough sunlight to compensate for our current emission rate :\nWhich proposes an 2km long electromagnetic canon mounted on a 5km mountain top, which fires a 1 ton payload (of about a million highly autonomous operating mirrors) into the L1 point.\nIt needs fire every 5 minutes, non-stop, 24/7, just to compensate for our current emission rate.\nRob Dekker thanks for the link. Interesting. It may be a great idea but just reading your comments and the abstract, and playing devil’s advocate here, a few comments.\n1. I have doubts that “micron-thin material which have a mass of only 4 gram/m^2” would make it into space without major distortion or destruction.\n2. Shooting these mirrors from a giant cannon doesn’t sound terribly precise.\n3. Has their been an estimation about how many of these little mirrors would fail to make it into space and would fall back to earth? I’d guess it would be a lot of them. About how long these light weights would hover in the atmosphere with possible damage to airplanes, disruption to satellite signals etc? About the harm to animals such as sea fauna that might ingest them?\n4. What happens at reentry time (perhaps they’d burn up)?\n5. A discharge (which I assume would be mighty loud) every 5 minutes, non-stop, 24/7, just to compensate for our current emission rate? Wow.\n6. Honestly this sounds like it would be another undoable geoengineering “solution” which more closely resembles littering to me. And lastly,\n7. I’m not sure the $3,000,000,000,000 price tag for a mere 50 years is going to sit well with most people.\nRay and Steve,\nSteve, I used the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf as representative of state of the art for electrical VS gas vehicles. The Prius gets 50MPG and the Leaf gets 99/3= 33MPGe (Gotta divide by 3 to account for power plant inefficiency and transmission losses. I assumed that our mix of coal, n-word, CH4, and renewables is about as carbon intensive as oil. I welcome data if someone wants to do the figures.) Adjust the Leaf upwards since over its 15 year life renewables and CH4 will reduce the carbon intensity of the grid, but the Prius will still win the carbon game. (Unless Secular A is elected World President – then the Leaf wins!)\nThe primary costs for oil and gas are from finding the field, drilling the wells, and building the infrastructure needed to get the product to market. Wells, super tankers and pipelines are heavy on capitalization cost and light on operating costs. I’m pretty sure refineries are similar. Once built, the entire supply chain has an incredibly high gross margin, and also has little residual value besides scrap (you can’t move a well, and what are you going to do with a super tanker besides ship fossil fuel?). My post is limited to the time period after the well is producing, and it totally ignores sunk costs, as business decisions also ignore sunk cost. Coal is different, so this analysis doesn’t apply to coal.\nLook at fig 3, which shows current fields’ production through 2035. That is our baseline, as it represents oil which has already been paid for. It is free energy, or at least pre-paid.\nThe USA is attempting to slowly drop consumption while massively increasing production. Most every country with the ability is following the same policy. That effort simply frees up the current fields’ production for others to consume. Since the costs are paid up front, current field owners have an easy decision. Pump. Pump. Pump regardless of price – perhaps even at a net loss as long as operating costs are covered. This means the world is taking the next level shown in the figure, discovered fields which haven’t been developed yet, which is a serious danger, as it means CO2 emissions won’t decrease very much.\nWe are at the decision point right now. The existing field production curve matches a reasonable worldwide carbon plan. Thus, drilling new wells is folly, as once drilled, their costs are pre-paid, and so they become free money machines as well.\nSo every well drilled, every pipeline built, every tanker constructed from now on is pure-t-insanity. We already have all the fossil fuel production capacity that our planet can handle. We can stop fossil fuel development now, we can take Hank’s suggestion later (pay producers to not produce – won’t it be a hoot if we replace Saudi with expensive deep water wells and then have to pay Saudi anyway!), or we can bake the planet. So take your pick: cheap, incredibly expensive, or fatal.\nocean pH change is happening faster than atmospheric CO2 is increasing; a sunshade would make it worse, unless the sunshade is made out of frozen CO2 extracted from our atmosphere.\nJohn M.

Uh, Dude, if this were true, would it make sense to drill in deep water? …in the Arctic? ”\nYou’re confusing profit with gross margin.\nA decision to drill is based on expected profit, all the while knowing that additional production will degrade the profitability of one’s current production. Once made, the decision is not revokable. This means that fossil fuel companies only drill if the expected profit is immense, ensuring that even if prices drop profits will still be made. After the well is drilled, everything changes. The producer is locked in, profit becomes irrelevant and gross margin rules. Since gross margin is huge in fossil fuels, dropping production is insane, assuming collusion isn’t involved.\nA well drilled is a well pumped dry. The only decision point is before a single drop gets to market. It’s like software. You spend big bucks up front, and every barrel/program sold doesn’t increase costs much at all, but one can have a gross margin of 90% and still lose money. In that situation, you still sell as much as possible, even though you’re losing money.\nWell I read a bit more and was commenting when suddenly the page was gone as were my comments so I’ll try again.\nI see they address at least one of my prior questions about surviving the launch by proposing shielding for each “flyer”.\nOther quotes and comments.\nAt the end of their life, the flyers will have to be replaced if atmospheric carbon levels remain dangerously high\nThey also say: If it were to become apparent over the next decade or two that disastrous climate change driven by warming was in fact likely or even in progress…\nThe author doesn’t sound too sure about that.\nAnd that “replaced” part, do they mean launching another 16 trillion flyers every 50 years?? Sheesh! I’m wondering if all that debris would be a hazard to future space travel or satellites and how much of it will be coming back to earth as high-tech litter.\nThe dead ones that find their way back to Earth could present a threat to Earth-orbiting spacecraft, but hopefully no greater than the annual flux of a million, 1-g micrometeorites, or the 30 million debris objects in low-Earth orbit that weigh ≈1 g. This issue needs to be analyzed…. It seems, however, that this threat could be held to a level no more than that presented by the ≈100 1-ton natural objects that hit the Earth annually.\nHopefully? The author’s reasoning here does not at all negate the issue. In what way does one unavoidable and undesirable occurrence excuse another intentional one? That kind of reasoning is akin to tobacco companies rationalizing away the deaths of tens of thousands of people a year because, hey, that many die from non-smoking related lung cancer anyway.\nTo transport the total sunshade mass of 20 million tons [16 trillion flyers and 20 million armatures], a total of 20 million launches will be needed, given flyer payloads of 1,000 kg.\nThe cloud cross-section would be comparable to the size of the Earth and its length much greater, ≈100,000 km.\nAnd if flyer construction and transportation costs each can be held in the region of $1 trillion total, then a project total including development and operations of <$5 trillion seems also possible.\nHmm. What started out as “a few trillion” is now under $5 trillion – and that’s IF other costs can be held down.\nIt would make no sense to plan on building and replenishing ever larger space sunshades to counter continuing and increasing use of fossil fuel.\nSure it would if they could be made better, easier and cheaper than this – sorry – this boondoggle.\nTo be honest this paper reads like an advertisement.

The detection method used is inherited from the py-eddy-tracker (PET) algorithm developed by Mason et al. (2014), and is optimized to efficiently manage large datasets, and thus long time series. These products are an improvement on the earlier META2.0 product, which was produced by SSALTO/DUACS and distributed by AVISO+ (https://aviso.altimetry.fr, last access: 8 March 2022) with support from CNES, in collaboration with Oregon State University and support from NASA, and based on the Chelton et al. (2011) code. META3.1exp provides supplementary eddy information, such as eddy shapes, eddy edges, maximum speed contours, and mean eddy speed profiles from the center to the periphery. The tracking algorithm is based on overlapping contours, includes virtual observations, and acts as a filter with respect to the shortest trajectories. The absolute dynamic topography (ADT) field is now used for eddy detection, instead of the previous sea level anomaly (SLA) maps, in order to better represent the dynamics in the more energetic oceanic regions and in the vicinity of coasts and islands.\nTo evaluate the impact of the changes from META2.0 to META3.1exp, a comparison methodology has been applied. The similarity coefficient (SC) is based on the ratio of the eddy overlaps to their cumulative area, and allows for extensive comparison of the different datasets in terms of geographic distribution, statistics on the main physical characteristics, changes in the lifetimes of the trajectories, etc. After evaluating the impact of each change separately, we conclude that the major differences between META3.1exp and META2.0 are due to the change in the detection algorithm. META3.1exp contains smaller eddies and trajectories lasting at least 10 d; these were not available in the META2.0 product. Nevertheless, 55 % of the structures in META2.0 are similar to META3.1exp, thereby ensuring continuity between the two products and their physical characteristics. Geographically, the eddy distributions differ mainly in the strong current regions, where the mean dynamic topography (MDT) gradients are sharp. The additional information on the eddy contours allows for more accurate collocation of mesoscale structures with data from other sources, and so META3.1exp is recommended for multi-disciplinary application.\nMesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the global ocean. Ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers and spanning days to years (Morrow and Le Traon, 2012), mesoscale eddies play a significant role in the redistribution of energy, heat, and salt in the ocean, as well as other biological and chemical components (Beal et al., 2011; Chaigneau et al., 2011; Gaube et al., 2014; Gruber et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2014). The physical characteristics of eddies are also coupled with biological data to infer the behavior of marine animals (Braun et al., 2019; Chambault et al., 2019; Christie et al., 2010; Siegel et al., 2008; Staaterman et al., 2012), and can be used to track pollutants (Brach et al., 2018; Gilchrist et al., 2020). Over the past 3 decades, the development of altimetry maps with an increasing accuracy has made their observation at global scale possible.\nCurrently, many methods have been developed to detect and track eddies. The difficulty in defining a mesoscale eddy is linked to its separation from the background oceanic field. Eddies are mainly generated by current instabilities, or from ocean instabilities due to wind or topographic obstacles, creating variability around the ocean's mean state. As such, they are often considered as anomalies. Moreover, in a homogeneous background, rotating structures are associated with high and low pressure or sea level surfaces through the geostrophic equilibrium. Thus, a large number of studies detect eddies in sea level anomaly (SLA) maps where anticyclones (cyclones) are associated with areas with positive (negative) anomalies, delimited in space by geometric criteria (Chaigneau et al., 2008, 2009; Faghmous et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2016). Other studies are more interested in the rotation of the coherent structures to separate them from a non-rotative background by using the Okubo–Weiss parameter or by using rotational speed consideration (Isern-Fontanet et al., 2003; Le Vu et al., 2018; Mkhinini et al., 2014; Morrow et al., 2004; Nencioli et al., 2010). Moreover, a Lagrangian point of view has been used to detect Coherent Lagrangian Vortices. Different methodologies were developed to detect mesoscale eddies through direct considerations on advected fields or particles evolving together in time, in particular to reduce the number of thresholds commonly used in Eulerian methods (Abernathey and Haller, 2018; Beron-Vera et al., 2008; El Aouni, 2021; Haller, 2016).\nMany regional studies on the detection and tracking of mesoscale eddies have been conducted, but global analyses are rare due to the lack of globally accessible databases. It is simpler to properly tune a detection algorithm in a restricted area, where such characteristics as the Earth's rotation or the ocean stratification are homogeneous, than to take into account their variability at a global scale (Zhang et al., 2013). It is also faster, less consuming of computing capacities, and easier to manipulate reasonable quantities of data, concentrated in time and space. As mesoscale eddies generated by the destabilization of strong currents are different from island-generated eddies for example, and because the water masses differ from one oceanic basin to another, a regional approach has often been chosen to better integrate the eddies' specificities.\nNevertheless, some global databases of mesoscale eddies exist (Chelton et al., 2007, 2011; Faghmous et al., 2015; Martínez-Moreno et al., 2019; Tian et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2013). The first global database was presented in Chelton et al. (2011), covering the 1993–2008 period (hereafter CH11). This database was regularly updated until 2016 to consider the extending period and the changes of the input altimetry maps (weekly then daily production, improvement of the standards), and was available on the Oregon State University (OSU) affiliated website (https://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/mesoscale-eddies, last access: 7 March 2022). The operational production of the database was then transferred to CLS/CNES team in 2017, updated and distributed by AVISO as the Mesoscale Eddy Trajectory Atlas (META1.0exp in 2017) thanks to a fruitful collaboration between OSU and CLS/CNES. In 2018, META2.0 was produced with an improved tracking scheme. The introduction of virtual observations manages the “missing eddy problem”, replacing eddies absent in consecutive maps if altimetric tracks do not cross the structure for several days. A better management of coasts and islands, in particular in the numerous archipelagos, was also developed (META2.0 handbook, SALP-MU-P-EA-23126-CLS, 2020). Both META1.0exp and META2.0 detections were made on spatially filtered SLA maps, with geometrical consideration to determine the eddies' interior. The access to the eddy contours was indirect, approximated by a circle defined by the centroid and the speed radius of the eddy. The delivered trajectories had a minimum lifetime of 28 d.\nWe aim here to present a new version of the daily global Mesoscale Eddy Trajectory Atlas (META3.1exp), distributed by AVISO+. The main changes with this new system are that the eddy detection is made on filtered absolute dynamic topography (ADT) maps with geometrical detection method, and several files are provided: the main atlas of eddy trajectories lasting more than 10 d, but also trajectories shorter than 10 d and lone eddies that are identified only for 1 d. The source code for detection and tracking is written in Python and has been made freely available under a GPL V3 license (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6333989; Delepoulle et al., 2022), inherited from the py-eddy-tracker (PET) of Mason et al. (2014) and improved after a fruitful collaboration between E. Mason (IMEDEA) and CLS. This new atlas is available in two versions using the ADT maps for detection: with the two-satellites version, the T/P-Jason and ERS-Envisat-Saral dual sampling gives the most consistent spatial coverage over the full time series; the all-satellites version uses all available missions for the best possible sampling coverage, albeit one which varies over time.\nThis paper compares this new product to the current AVISO+ operational version META2.0. Such a comparison is complex due to the size of the datasets and the diversity of variables describing the mesoscale eddies within similarly organized atlases. The originality of the methodology we developed is its capacity to match eddies from different atlases as well as comparing the global distributions of parameters. The similarity coefficient (SC) employed here is based on the ratio between the common area of two eddies and their total area. The algorithm is able to rapidly process the large global atlases over the whole altimetry period. After pairing the eddies between the two datasets, we separate (1) the common and similar eddies which have the highest SCs, (2) the common but different eddies with moderate SCs, (3) the eddies only present in one dataset and thus presenting a novelty with regards to the other dataset, and (4) the eddies with multiple matches. These groups of eddies provide not only statistics about the detected eddies, but also insights about how the associated trajectories are distributed.\nFour major changes are made in the evolution of the processing from META2.0 to META3.1exp. First, the change in the detection algorithm from the historical OSU code (Chelton et al., 2011) to the PET algorithm (Mason et al., 2014) significantly impacts the number of detected eddies and their surface characteristics (amplitude, radius). Secondly, the tracking scheme was modified to use the eddies' overlap in successive daily maps instead of searching for new eddy candidates in a restricted area, increasing the length of many trajectories. Thirdly, we have changed the input fields from SLA to ADT maps, in order to better identify eddies in energetic regions with strong sea surface height (SSH) gradients and where recurrent mesoscale structures exist, either as eddies or meanders. Many geographically correlated eddies are formed near coasts or bathymetric changes, result from wind–orographic effects or current retroflections, and have an imprint on the mean dynamic topography (MDT). Using the ADT rather than SLA field provides more consistent eddy detection and presence in such oceanic regions. Finally, the preprocessing step of filtering, inherent to the OSU and PET methodologies, was modified to better separate the eddies from the background large-scale ocean circulation. We produced intermediate datasets to independently assess how each change impacts the atlas of eddy trajectories.\nThis paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we present first the altimetry gridded maps used to detect eddies, the differences and similarities between the OSU and PET detection and tracking algorithms, and the methodology developed to efficiently compare the different atlases. In Sect. 3, we illustrate how each change made from META2.0 to META3.1exp impacts the detected eddies and their statistics, and present some META3.1exp characteristics with regards to META2.0. We document the availability of META3.1exp in Sect. 4 and provide a summary in Sect. 5.\n2.1 Altimetric fields for eddy detection\nIn continuity with the CH11 dataset, the META2.0 product is based on the SLA maps produced by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and distributed in the C3S Climate Data Store (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/, last access: 8 March 2022). These maps are built using at most two altimetric missions, with the Topex-Poseidon and Jason satellites on the same long-term ground tracks, and a second satellite mission, mainly on the ERS-Envisat-Saral-Sentinel-3A ground tracks. As the sampling and the represented scales are stable throughout time, this dataset is considered to be homogeneous in time in terms of climate signals and mesoscale content.\nThe META3.1exp has also been computed from the C3S dataset to ensure continuity for users, but a second production, based on the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS, https://marine.copernicus.eu/, last access: 8 March 2022) products built from the complete altimetric constellation, has been performed. The all-satellites merged product is built with all the available satellites at a given time, improving the small-scale representation in the maps due to the diversity of the tracks' location and the different repetition periods of the altimetric missions (Pascual et al., 2006). The mesoscale eddies retrieved from these products are thus improved at small scales.\nIn addition to the input constellation, the products have an additional difference regarding the temporal mean reference used to compute anomalies. For the two-satellites product, the SLA is obtained as the difference between the along-track instantaneous SSH and mean sea surface (MSS), the gridded proxy derived from all the available altimetry missions. For the all-satellites product, SLA is obtained as the difference between the SSH and the mean profiles (MP), the most precise MSS, available in the long-term repeat tracks (for details, see Pujol et al., 2016). This different strategy to remove an MSS will also have a slight impact on the eddy field.\nThe META3.1exp product is based on the ADT. The ADT is the sum of the SLA and the MDT, the later corresponding to the mean oceanic circulation derived from multiple satellite and in situ data. The accuracy of the MDT has greatly improved in recent years, providing robustness in the ADT fields (Rio et al., 2014).\nThe input fields (SLA or ADT, C3S or CMEMS) are all global daily products, with a ∘ grid resolution, using the DT2018 reprocessing version (Taburet et al., 2019). The along-track data are filtered with a low pass Lanczos filter depending on the latitude (250 km near the Equator, down to 55 km at high latitudes) and subsampled at 14 km (Pujol et al., 2016). Each daily map is produced with an optimal interpolation using spatial and temporal decorrelation scales varying with latitude (Pujol et al., 2016). When several satellites are used, a weight is attributed to each mission to take into account their noise and thus, their confidence level.\nThe mapping procedure tends to filter out the smaller scales, but the effective resolution of the DT2018 global maps was estimated to range from ∼100 km wavelength at high latitude to ∼800 km wavelength in the equatorial band, meaning that ∼25 km radius structures are properly resolved at high latitudes, ∼200 km radius structures are resolved in the equatorial band, and ∼50 km radius structures are resolved at the mid-latitudes (Ballarotta et al., 2019).\n2.2 Detection and tracking algorithms: OSU and PET\n2.2.1 Detecting mesoscale eddies\nThe META2.0 detection algorithm (OSU) is similar to Chelton et al. (2011), based on the fact that closed contours of SLA correspond approximately to the streamlines of a geostrophic flow. The method aims to find a geographic region of connected pixels with all SLA values below (or above) the local maximum (or minimum) SLA value for anticyclonic (or cyclonic) eddies. Several SLA extrema are authorized within one eddy region. There is a 1 cm threshold for amplitude (the absolute SSH difference between the edge and the extremum of the structure), a maximum of 1000 pixels within a structure, and gaps between pixels in longitude and latitude are not allowed. These restrictions avoid the detection of ameba-like regions as eddies, because eddies are expected to show a more compact form to maintain their rotation. The eddy center location provided in META2.0 is the centroid of the SSH of the connected pixels. The eddy radius is the radius of the circle that has the same area as the region within the closed contour of SSH with maximum averaged speed. The effective radius, computed for tracking purposes but not delivered, is the radius of the circle with the same area as the connected pixels. Eddies can thus be represented by the location of their center and by their speed radius. No detection is made within ±2.5∘ latitude of the Equator, due to the non-geostrophic balance near the Equator.\nThe OSU detection differs from the original Chelton et al. (2011) methodology as the minimum of eight consecutive pixels is not required, since we found that the smallest amplitude criteria prevents the detection of structures with unrealistically small radii. Note that the SLA fields are filtered before the eddy detection in order to remove the large-scale anomaly patterns, such as the chevron-like patterns near the Equator or the El Niño-induced displacement of warm water from west to east in the Equatorial Pacific, following the procedures of Chelton et al. (2011). The filtering step is made in OSU with a 2D Lanczos filter, with a 1000 km half-power cutoff wavelength in latitude and longitude to take into account the latitudinal variation of the dimension of a grid pixel.\nFor the META3.1exp dataset, the detection algorithm is based on PET algorithm of Mason et al. (2014), loosely based on Chelton et al. (2011), Kurian et al. (2011), and Penven et al. (2005). Working either on SLA or ADT fields, the SSH contours are interpolated instead of using the SSH pixels. The SSH fields are also high-pass filtered for META3.1exp, although we changed the half-power cutoff wavelength of the 2D Lanczos filter, setting it to 700 km. More details on this choice are provided in Sect. 3.1.1. Eddy detection is made by scanning closed contours from SSH maxima downward for anticyclonic eddies (AEs) and from SSH minima upward for cyclonic eddies (CEs) with a 2 mm step. For the outermost closed contour encompassing only one extremum, a shape error test is performed. This test, similar to Kurian et al. (2011) verifies that the ratio between the areal sum deviations of the contour from its best fit circle and the area of this best fit circle is below a certain value. This specification aims to avoid the selection of eddies with shapes too different from circles, where rotation is not possible, as for banana shapes for example. In Mason et al. (2014) and Kurian et al. (2011), the shape error was limited to 55 %. We increase this value to 70 % to ensure that elongated eddies are detected, a case often visible in highly dynamic regions and when eddies are interacting.\nThe META3.1exp dataset includes both the effective contour (outermost closed contour) and the speed contour (contour with the maximum averaged speed around it). The effective radius is deduced from the best-fit circle applied to the effective contour; similarly, the speed radius is derived from the best-fit circle applied to the speed contour. We chose to decrease the amplitude threshold from 1 to 0.4 cm, since with a minimum of five consecutive pixels within a contour, we ensure a minimum geographic imprint instead of limiting the amplitude parameter. Moreover, Faghmous et al. (2013) demonstrated that the 1 cm amplitude threshold and the associated 1 cm step between SSH levels used in Chelton et al. (2011) and followed in other studies led to the underestimation of the eddies' properties as the step is large and the geographical extent of the structures changes greatly between two steps. The 0.4 cm threshold implies a minimum of three SSH closed contours around an extremum to consider the area as an eddy, which is a reasonable compromise between the time of computation and the size of the detected eddies compared to the noise and the resolution of the altimetry maps. As only one extremum is accepted within an eddy, contrary to OSU, the position of this extremum is provided, but the location of the center is deduced from the best-fit circle of the speed contour. The change in the number of extrema allowed within an eddy contour strongly impacts eddy detection and the eddy's characteristics, and will be presented with more details in Sect. 3.1.3.\nWe also provide a new characteristic, the mean speed profile between the effective contour and SSH extremum, as proposed by the AMEDA detection and tracking algorithm from Le Vu et al. (2018). This speed profile is useful for dynamical investigation and comparison with theoretical eddy shapes. Specifying the speed and effective contours is very helpful for the collocation of altimetric-derived eddies with external data, such as sea surface temperature (SST), ocean color, surface salinity, winds, and in situ measurement methods as Argo floats, expendable bathythermographs (XBTs) or conductivity–temperature–depth (CTDs), Niskin bottle sampling, or larvae presence, since they allow for more precise anisotropic positioning of mesoscale eddies.\nTo ease the manipulation of these large files, the speed profiles and the contour data are regularly interpolated over 50 evenly spaced points.\nThe META2.0 dataset is composed of trajectories lasting more than 28 d, following the 4-week minimum eddy duration of Chelton et al. (2011). This limitation was linked to the weekly availability of the maps, and is close to the mean temporal resolution of 34 d of the altimetry maps (Ballarotta et al., 2019). The tracking procedure consists of searching for an eddy at the time step t+dt (dt=1 d) in a restricted area around the center of the eddy considered at t. After analyzing the mean displacement of eddies in the previous META1.0exp, the restricted area was set to evolve with latitude. From high latitudes towards 25∘, the radius of the restricted area is set to 50 km; then a progressive increase is made to reach a radius of 100 km at 10∘ latitude, since the eddies are larger and travel faster in the equatorial band. Searching within the restricted area prevents the association of unrelated eddies resulting in large jumps within a trajectory. The variation of the candidate eddy size at t+dt (amplitude and effective radius) must fall between 0.4 and 2.5 times the reference eddy size at dt. If several candidates are found at t+dt, the eddy added to the trajectory is the one minimizing a cost function based on the distance between the centers.\nAs for other tracking procedures (Chaigneau et al., 2008; Faghmous et al., 2015; Laxenaire et al., 2018; Le Vu et al., 2018; Li et al., 2016; Pegliasco et al., 2021c), we have to deal with the “missing eddy” problem, i.e., the disappearance of an eddy for some days between altimetric ground tracks in the mapped SSH fields, or due to restrictions imposed by the detection procedure. This “missing eddy problem” is solved by authorizing the research of a new candidate eddy over several days; we chose 4 d. To consider the eddy's displacement, the radius of the search area is increased by each supplementary day (Fig. 1a). If after 1, 2, 3, or 4 d a candidate is available, it is associated with the trajectory. The days without eddies are flagged to identify a virtual eddy, whose characteristics are interpolated from the two detected eddies. Thus, there are at most three consecutive virtual observations over the 4 d gap. Due to the extension of the search area, candidates may be found that cross land. To avoid this, a land management process checks if the core of the eddies, represented as one-fifth of their respective speed radius, is able to move from one eddy to another without crossing land (Fig. 1b). When crossing land, the eddy tracking association is not allowed. If after 4 d of research, no candidates are found, the trajectory is stopped.\nThe tracking procedure used in META3.1exp is different, based on the overlap of the effective contours and not on the search over a restricted area. Tracking by overlap has shown its robustness with daily mapped data (Keppler et al., 2018; Laxenaire et al., 2018; Li et al., 2016; Pegliasco, 2015; Pegliasco et al., 2021c), since the day-to-day general displacement of mesoscale eddies does not exceed 10 km. Here an eddy candidate is retained if the overlap ratio, defined as the ratio between the overlapping area and the union of the two eddies' areas, is more than 5 %. This allows us to track a small eddy included in a large eddy (or the reverse situation) due to eddy splitting (or merging). Note that 95 % of the eddy matches have an overlap ratio of greater than 20 %. No restrictions are imposed on the radius or amplitude variations, since we observed that in the case of merging of two small eddies into one, or the splitting of one large eddy in two, the rapid variation of the radius prematurely ends one trajectory and starts a new one in META2.0. In the case of several candidate eddies, the larger overlap ratio is retained. Even if the merging and splitting events are not recorded in the tracking procedure for META3.1exp, the overlap method ensures the continuity of the trajectory when merging or splitting events occurs. The tracking procedure allows us to search for a candidate eddy for up to 5 d instead of 4 d since the overlap ensures geographic proximity. This proximity was the only criterion in the cost function used in META2.0 in case of several candidates, whose numbers increase significantly when the radius of the search area and time increase. As for META2.0, flagged virtual observations are used to fill the days without eddies within a trajectory (at most four consecutive virtual observations to fill the gap in detection).\nTo test the ability of this new tracking method to produce robust trajectories, we investigate the characteristics of the trajectories obtained with the two different methods (restricted area and overlap) from a similar detection made with the PET algorithm on the two-satellites ADT maps high-pass filtered with a 700 km wavelength cutoff. Table 1 shows that more observations are associated with trajectories lasting at least 10 d when the overlap method is employed than with the restricted area method (∼91 % vs. ∼87 %). The observations within trajectories shorter than 10 d and the untracked eddies are less numerous with the overlap method. The number of virtual observations introduced consecutively is four for overlap tracking and three for restricted area tracking; nevertheless, fewer virtual eddies are needed in trajectories with overlap tracking than with restricted area tracking.\nWhen evaluating the distribution of the number of trajectories for different lifetimes (Fig. 2a), we should keep in mind that the majority of the trajectories built have lifetimes between 10 and 30 d, whether we use the overlap method (55 %) or the restricted area method (60 %), but only involved a small number of individual eddies (21 % for the overlap; 28 % for the restricted area; Fig. 2b). This implies that the analyses made on the remaining trajectories is representative of only half of the trajectories but concerns 70 %–80 % of the individual eddies. Regardless of the tracking method, trajectories lasting more than 6 months represent only a few percent of the dataset, but the overlap method detects twice as many very long trajectories than the restricted area method. Note that the occurrence of four consecutive virtual eddies in the case of the overlap tracking is stable over different eddy lifetimes, so longer trajectories do not particularly rely on the presence of more virtual eddies.\nWe can thus conclude that the overlap tracking is able to efficiently associate detected eddies into long trajectories, with no overuse of virtual observations for the longest trajectories.\n2.3 A similarity coefficient to compare atlases\nWith the development of multiple detection and tracking algorithms, the eddy community lacks a tool able to provide quantitative and qualitative comparison of the atlases. The similarity coefficient (SC) provides the association of detected and tracked eddies between two (or more) atlases, with the quantification of the similarity of their respective physical characteristics.\nThe SC compares the eddies detected in different databases having the same formalism: each eddy is saved with a rotating sense, position, amplitude, radius, time, trajectory, and contours. As for the tracking procedure, when we want to associate similar eddies within a trajectory, here we search for one eddy at a time t in one atlas (the reference) and check if there is a corresponding eddy in another atlas (the study) at the same time, using the overlap of the effective contours of those eddies. The SC is defined in Eq. (1) as the ratio between the intersection of the eddies' effective areas in the reference and the studied atlases and the union of their effective areas, expressed in percent:\nHere, we will investigate the SC computed for anticyclones and cyclones separately, but the SC can also be performed by cross-referencing anticyclones and cyclones, in order to evaluate the occurrence of opposite detection in the atlases.\nWhen an eddy has no match in the other atlas, its SC is 0 %. When the two eddies are identical (same contour and position), their SC is 100 %. We define four specific groups of eddies depending on their SCs: (i) unmatched eddies, with no association or very low overlap (SC < 5 %); (ii) different eddies (eddies with low SCs, between 5 % and 20 %); (iii) intermediate eddies (eddies with SCs between 20 % and 40 %); (iv) similar eddies (eddies with high SCs, over 40 %; Fig. 3). Eddies can be well positioned but with different radii: in the idealized case of two eddies represented by circles where one is included in the other, an SC above 40 % implies a maximum ratio between the eddies' radii of ; thus they are very similar eddies in location but also in physical characteristics. Eddies with no SC (0 %) are the novelty, as they were not present in any atlas. Eddies with low SCs are representative of the differences between the two atlases, as they are present in both but quite different in their location and characteristics. Note that with the SC definition used here, an eddy included in another eddy and shifted eddies are treated similarly (Fig. 3).\nSince the META2.0 product does not provide eddy contours, in all comparisons made with this dataset we replaced contours with the circles built from the center and the radius values.\nAfter the visualization of the SCs between different atlases, we noticed that some complex oceanic regions (high latitudes where sea ice can be present, semi-enclosed seas with complex dynamics and topography) have lower SCs and more unmatched eddies than in the open ocean; thus we decided to restrict the SC applications to the major open oceanic basins. Only ∼10 % of eddies are removed from the analysis with this open ocean selection. These non-selected eddies are available in both META2.0 and META3.1exp, users interested in these critical zones are welcome to analyze them regionally and provide feedback. All of the following results are obtained with this geographic mask.\n2.3.2 Validation of the similarity coefficient capacity: study case of the all-satellites versus two-satellites detection\nTo evaluate the ability of the SC to accurately identify changes, we present here the results obtained from the following datasets. The reference atlas is comprised of the detections made with PET using the two-satellites ADT maps, and the study atlas is made with PET on the all-satellites ADT maps. Both atlases use the high-pass filter with a 700 km cutoff wavelength. The only difference between the atlases is the number of satellites used in the production of the SSH maps and the way the along-track SLA is built (see Sect. 2.1).\nThe SC captures well the influence of the temporal variation of the satellite constellation in the representation of mesoscale eddies (Fig. 4). From 1993 to 2000, the period where only two altimetric missions were providing data, 94.3 % of the detected eddies of the all-satellites-based atlas have SCs higher than 40 % (i.e., very similar eddies). The new eddies (SC = 0 %, brown) represent 3.6 % of the dataset. Eddies with the lowest SCs (5 %–40 %) represent only 1.9 % of the dataset, and the 0.2 % multiple matched eddies are anecdotal. The small differences between eddies detected in the all- and two-satellites products are directly linked to the different processing procedures used to build the maps, with the absence of mean profiles in the two-satellite product. The SCs are also very homogeneous in time, except from January 1994 to March 1995, where only Topex/Poseidon was delivering data.\nAfter 2000, not only was the processing of the maps different, but the number of satellites changed, with up to six satellites in the constellation. The introduction of more than two satellites is well captured by the SC method, as the rupture in the homogeneous spatiotemporal two-satellites sampling coincides with a reduction of the observations with the highest similarities between the two-satellites and all-satellites detections (only 73.7 % of observations with SCs ≥ 40 %). Multiple matched eddies are few after 2000 (2.2 %) but more than before. After 2000, the proportion of the lowest SCs (<40 %) is 11.7 %, and the new eddies represent 12.4 % of the all-satellites dataset. The repartitioning of the SCs in time is not homogeneous but reacts to the changes in the constellation (Fig. 4), highlighting the sensitivity of the eddy detection to the mapping procedure. The geographic distribution of the SCs after 2000 (not shown) indicate strong similarities under the reference mission tracks, which is expected as the reference missions are shared by the all- and two-satellites products, and lower similarities and new eddies in the diamond-shaped observation gaps between the reference tracks, where the additional satellites enhance the mesoscale representation. Thus, the increased number of eddies with the lowest SCs testifies for a repositioning of the mesoscale structures. The new eddies are captured by the higher spatial resolution of the satellite tracks in the all-satellites product.\n3.1 Assessment of the PET algorithm and parameters\nWe recall that in addition to the modification of the tracking scheme, three major changes are made in the transition from META2.0 to META3.1exp version: (1) the change of input maps, from SLA to ADT; (2) the change in the filtering step, from 1000 to 700 km for the cutoff wavelength of the 2D filter; (3) the evolution of the detection algorithm, from OSU to PET. These changes need careful evaluation, not just a simple analysis of the distribution of the main characteristics of the detected eddies in the final META2.0 and META3.1exp products, even with the SC. With a direct comparison, the impact of the various changes on the main eddy characteristics will be mixed and could compensate for each other. Thus, we produced intermediate atlases to separately assess each change.\nFor each comparison step, we characterized the continuity between the tested datasets, the novelty, and their differences.\n3.1.1 Eddy detection and tracking from SLA to ADT\nHistorically, the detection of eddies was made using SLA maps, regardless of the detection method (Chaigneau et al., 2008, 2009; Chelton et al., 2007, 2011; Dilmahamod et al., 2018; Dong et al., 2014; Mason et al., 2014; Morrow et al., 2004; Yi et al., 2014), mainly because SLA maps were the most reliable altimetric field, due to residual geoid errors in the mean. The collocation of in situ data with detected eddies confirmed the robustness of SLA-based detections in the open ocean, with a clear distinction between AEs and CEs in agreement with the theory (Castelao, 2014; Chaigneau et al., 2011; Keppler et al., 2018; Melnichenko et al., 2017; Pegliasco, 2015; Zhang et al., 2016; Zu et al., 2019). Nevertheless, these studies were conducted in open-ocean regions where the MDT is mostly homogeneous; thus the SLA was able to correctly represent the mesoscale eddies following their basic description: rotating structures in a homogeneous background, which appear as anomalies. But in specific areas where the mean circulation has strong spatial gradients, various studies highlighted the discrepancies between in situ observations and SLA-detected eddies, such as in the Mozambique Channel (de Ruijter et al., 2002; Halo et al., 2014; Schouten et al., 2003). The SLA, as stated by its name, is an anomaly over a temporal mean. But when the temporal mean contains the signature of a mean mesoscale structure, such as a recurrent meander or eddy, the SLA only reflects the variation of the sea surface height relative to the mesoscale structure (Rio et al., 2014). Thus, a positive SLA can either represent an anticyclonic eddy, the weakening of a cyclonic meander or eddy, or the reinforcement of an anticyclonic meander or eddy. Similarly, a negative SLA can be a cyclonic eddy, reflecting a weakening of an anticyclonic circulation or the reinforcement of a cyclonic circulation.\nWith the more recent improvements in the quality of the MDT (Rio et al., 2014), several studies have started to be based on ADT-detected eddies, in the Agulhas Retroflection region (Doglioli et al., 2007; Laxenaire et al., 2018, 2019; Rubio et al., 2009) or the Mediterranean Sea (Ioannou et al., 2017; Le Vu et al., 2018; Mkhinini et al., 2014), both regions being known for their non-homogeneous mean circulation. In the Mediterranean Sea, the comparison of SLA- and ADT-detected eddies led to the conclusion that ADT fields should be preferred over SLA fields when detecting eddies in oceanic regions with inhomogeneous MDT (Pegliasco et al., 2021c). In the global ocean, the regions where the MDT contains sharp gradients or recurrent meanders are the most energetic regions where strong currents are present, such as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the Kuroshio, the Gulf Stream, the Agulhas Retroflection, and the Zapiola Eddy. These regions also play an important role in the redistribution of heat over large scales, involving the eddies generated by the destabilization of the major currents (Zu et al., 2019). An accurate detection of eddies in these specific areas is thus of great importance.\nConsidering only the eddies included in trajectories lasting at least 10 d in the open ocean that were detected in ADT maps, and matched with SLA-detected eddies included in trajectories lasting at least 10 d in the open ocean, we obtained the following distribution. 77 % of the ADT eddies found matches with SCs higher than 40 % of the SLA eddies. So, the majority of open-ocean eddies have a similar distribution of radii, amplitude, and lifetimes, whether we use the original ADT or SLA fields. Of interest here is the smaller group of 11 % of the ADT eddies that are newly detected and/or tracked with regards to SLA-detected eddies. The eddies with SCs below 40 % also represent 11 % of the ADT eddies. Less than 1 % of the ADT eddies have multiple matches with SLA eddies.\nThe lowest SCs and the new eddies are concentrated in the coastal regions, near islands, and in the strong open-ocean current systems mentioned above (Fig. 5). These are often regions where the filtered MDT contains specific patterns (Fig. 7). Since closed MDT circulations can be present in the ADT maps but not in the SLA maps, new eddies with the same rotating sense are generated in those closed MDT circulations. This implies a strong polarization of the presence of the ADT-detected cyclones and anticyclones, whereas eddies are more homogeneous in space in the SLA maps, regardless of their rotation. Figure 6 highlights the difference in the percentage of time spent by each grid point within cyclones or anticyclones, in the northwestern Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream, two regions where strong differences arise depending on the SSH used for the detection.\nIn the Gulf of Mexico, the main Loop Current enters the Gulf from the south via the Yucatan Channel and circulates as a loop (dashed blue line in Fig. 6). An anticyclonic eddy sometimes detaches from the loop and drifts through the Gulf, and is known as the Loop Current Eddy (LCE). This specific circulation is associated with Frontal Loop Current Cyclonic Eddies (FLCEs) on the edges of the current, which can participate in the shedding of the LCE (Le Hénaff et al., 2012; Schmitz, 2005). The ADT-detected eddies collocate well with these anticyclonic and cyclonic circulation features, whereas the SLA-detected eddies are more homogeneous in the Gulf of Mexico, with cyclones as frequent as anticyclones at the mean position of the Loop Current. Rather than being of specific polarity, these SLA eddies represent the waxing and waning of the Loop Current and the Loop Current Eddies.\nEddies generated within the Gulf Stream vein are also quite different depending on their detection with SLA or ADT maps. The SLA-detected anticyclones and cyclones are often both present within the principal vein of the current (Fig. 6a and b, and dashed blue line), with fewer occurrences immediately south of it. Those eddies are often surrounded by eddies rotating in the opposite direction, thus preferentially cold-core cyclones to the south and warm-core anticyclones to the north. For the ADT-detected eddies, the north–south difference is clearer, with a majority of the anticyclones detected just south of the mean axis, and cyclones dominating to the north (Fig. 6c and d). ADT-detected anticyclones are found again at higher latitudes, and cyclones below ∼35∘ N. Note that these high occurrences away from the main vein may be related to the large rings initially embedded in the meanders and known for their clear signature in SST images, whereas the marked occurrences near the vein are likely linked to the continuous small recirculations on both sides of the current (Chi et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2018; Waterman and Hoskins, 2013). Such behavior occurs similarly in other oceanic regions where the MDT contains sharp gradients. For those regions, SLA-detected structures can reflect the reinforcement, weakening, or displacement of mean jets and eddies with an imprint on the MDT, instead of the long-term polarity of the structures. Users specifically interested in such areas are welcome to provide feedback.\n3.1.2 Adaptation of the filtering step\nIn the first census of detected and tracked eddies at the global scale and for the whole altimetry area, Chelton et al. (2011) implemented a pre-processing step to filter out the large scale from the SLA maps. This filter of 20∘ longitude and 10∘ latitude half-power cutoff wavelengths efficiently removed the large SLA scales such as the heating and cooling steric effects and other large-scale patterns, like the chevron patterns visible in the tropical Pacific (see Fig. 1 of Chelton et al., 2011). The filter also rebases the local extrema on a neutral level, which helps to close contours present in these large-scale patterns. In a smaller regional study, Mason et al. (2014) proposed a different large-scale filtering with a Gaussian filter of radius of 10∘ longitude and 5∘ latitude, and obtained similar results in the Canary Island region. The filter used to preprocess the META2.0 maps is a 2D Lanczos filter with half-power cutoff wavelengths of 1000 km on both the zonal and meridional dimensions, used to prevent the impact of the non-equivalence of degrees and kilometric distances with latitude. This filter was adapted for SLA maps, where the background gradients cover oceanic basins. But in the ADT maps, strong localized gradients linked to the MDT are present, particularly in the intense current areas (the ACC, the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio, the Agulhas Retroflection, and the Zapiola Eddy). These currents and their meanders have typical mesoscale dimensions. Thus, the filter must efficiently separate the small and the large scales of the MDT and of the SLA to provide adequately filtered ADT maps. The change from 1000 km to a smaller cutoff wavelength was motivated by the behavior of the filter in the areas of intense currents. Since the MDT gradients are sharp, the larger filter cut-off allowed for an expansion of the gradients after filtering, implying a loss of the physical content of the filtered maps. Different half-power cutoff wavelengths were tested, including without filtering, and SLA and ADT eddy detections were made from the various filtered maps. A compromise was reached between keeping all of the mesoscale structures in the strong current areas of the MDT in the filtered maps and properly filtering the large-scale equatorial patterns by using a 700 km half-power cutoff wavelength. With this filtering, we reduced the number of large-scale eddy-shaped structures that can be detected in the low-frequency MDT and maintained the dimensions of the remaining eddy-shaped structures above 300 km radius. The remaining high-pass-filtered MDT structures are presented in Fig. 7. The large-scale patterns in the equatorial band are efficiently removed and the strong currents gradients are preserved.\nTo ensure the continuity of the eddy representation with this change in large-scale filtering, we applied the SC to the trajectories obtained from the PET detection with the two-satellites ADT maps filtered with a half-power cutoff wavelength of 1000 and 700 km. The number of the selected eddies is close, with 55.5 million detected eddies for the 1000 km half-power cutoff wavelength and 59.4 million detected eddies at 700 km. 87 % of the open ocean eddies detected and tracked for more than 10 d with the 700 km half-power cutoff wavelength matched those detected and tracked with a 1000 km half-power cutoff wavelength, with SCs higher than 40 %. Only 9 % of them are new eddies, and 4 % have SCs below 40 %. The lowest SCs and the new eddies are concentrated in the strong current areas mentioned above, since the decrease in the half-power cutoff wavelength maintains more of the sharp gradients of these regions than with the original half-power 1000 km cutoff wavelength. The 700 km cutoff wavelength induces a slight increase of the amplitudes and the radii for the eddies with high SCs detected in the 700 km filtered ADT maps compared with the eddies detected in the 1000 km filtered ADT maps, but without influencing the lifetime of the trajectories.\nThus, the change in the filtering step provides a continuity of the detected eddies between the previous and the new half-power cutoff wavelength, yet ensures an adapted representation of eddies in the strong current areas in ADT maps.\n3.1.3 Change in the detection algorithm: from OSU to PET\nThe major change between the META2.0 and META3.1exp datasets is the change in the detection algorithm. To evaluate the impact of a detection made with the PET algorithm instead of the historical OSU one, we produced an intermediate dataset similar to META2.0 except for the detection algorithm.\nWe applied the PET detection algorithm to SLA maps filtered with a 1000 km half-power cutoff wavelength, and tracked the detected eddies with the restricted area method. We lowered the minimum lifetime threshold to 10 d and provided statistics only for the open ocean. The first striking result is that even with minimum lifetimes of at least 10 d, the PET-detected eddies outnumbered the OSU-detected eddies by a factor of 1.7, with, respectively, 5936 daily eddies for PET (59.4 million over the total period) and 3445 daily eddies for OSU (34.9 million over the total period). Table 2 presents a repartition of the detected eddies after the pairing between the datasets. Despite the large number of new eddies detected with PET (1994 daily new eddies), there is also a higher quantity of eddies with high SCs (2318 daily eddies), meaning there are a larger number of similar eddies detected between META2.0 and the intermediate atlas. In comparison, the low and intermediate SCs represent only 575 daily eddies. Contrary to the other analyses in this paper, PET eddies often have multiple matches (17 % of the datasets) and a large number of unmatched eddies (33 %), which needs to be investigated.\nTo qualitatively compare the eddies detected with the two algorithms, we analyzed the repartition of the SCs' categories as a function of the effective radius (Fig. 8) and amplitude (not shown). To provide an idea of the distribution of the effective radius for each dataset, we represent for each SC category its percentage relative to a constant number of eddies. The vertical lines of Fig. 8 delimits the bounds of each effective radius class containing 5 % of the total eddy population (∼1.7 million eddies in a class for OSU, ∼2.9 million eddies for PET). Lines close to each other highlight a concentration of eddies for the corresponding effective radii. In general, the PET-detected eddy population has smaller effective radii than the OSU-detected eddy population, with a median radius of 55 km for PET and 90 km for OSU. Nevertheless, the population of OSU-detected eddies matching the PET-detected eddies with high SCs is present for all the effective radius classes (Fig. 8a, blue), except for the smallest PET-detected eddies with effective radii below 30 km. 62 % of the OSU-detected eddies are thus detected similarly with the PET algorithm, ensuring the continuity between the two detections.\nThe new eddies, represented by the unmatched PET-detected eddies, have a quantity comparable with similarly detected eddies (33 % of the PET dataset for the unmatched eddies, 39 % for the high SCs eddies, Table 2). The new eddies are over-represented in the smallest effective radius classes (Fig. 8b, brown). The eddies that were not detected with OSU may arise from three OSU thresholds in the detection scheme: the absence of detection near the Equator (±2.5∘), the 1 cm amplitude limitation, and the absence of gaps between pixels in latitude or longitude. The PET algorithm detects eddies near the Equator, accepts amplitudes above 0.4 cm, and tolerates a maximum shape error of 70 %. With only 91 daily PET-detected eddies near the Equator, the change in the amplitude threshold is responsible for one-third of the new eddies (671 daily eddies under 1 cm, 37 of them near the Equator). The remaining two-thirds of new eddies (1269 daily new eddies) with amplitudes higher than 1 cm, including 555 daily eddies with amplitude higher than 2 cm, are located mainly in the coastal areas, in the ACC, in the Irminger Sea and east of the Reykjanes Ridge. Note that the requirement of having no gap between adjacent pixels combined with the 1 cm amplitude threshold in the OSU algorithm might block eddy detection near the coastline due to the presence of land pixels, whereas the PET algorithm, with the interpolation of the SSH levels, can more easily close contours in these areas.\nRegardless of their size or amplitude, we are interested in the behavior of these new detected eddies from a dynamical point of view, since being part of a long trajectory is synonymous with persistence. We note that these new, unmatched PET-detected eddies are present homogeneously from 15 % to 85 % of the normalized lifetimes, with a slightly higher amount present during the early phase (0 %–15 % of the normalized lifetime) and at the very end (85 %–100 % of the normalized lifetime; not shown). Smaller eddies are expected to be particularly involved in the growth and the decay of the trajectories. This result reinforces the robustness of the new eddies, for the smallest as well as for the larger ones.\nEddies with multiple matches are particularly numerous when comparing the OSU and PET detections (∼17 % of the datasets). The multiple matches category is divided into three subgroups: the parents of twins, where one eddy matches with two eddies; the twins, associated with a unique parent eddy; and complex multiple matches, where more than two parents or children associations coexist. This last subgroup represents only ∼2 % of the datasets. It is more frequent to associate one larger eddy detected with OSU with two smaller eddies detected with PET than the reverse: 12 % of the OSU-detected eddies are parents, and 3 % are twins, whereas 1 % of PET-detected eddies are parents and 15 % are twins. This is directly linked to the possibility in the OSU detection to have more than one extremum within an eddy. This specificity was initially developed to treat the SSH irregularities or to detect eddies in close proximity, and avoid too large changes in the eddy's characteristics from one weekly map to another (Chelton et al., 2011). With the improved daily altimetric maps now available, detecting eddies with more than one extremum often results in the matching of two unrelated eddies, with clear separated trajectories, but in close proximity. The OSU multiple extrema eddies also tend to have large effective radii and amplitudes compared to the corresponding unique PET-detected eddies. This implies that when the multiple extrema structure separates into two (or more, though rarely) eddies, the change in radius and amplitude is quite important, and thus exceeds the limitations specified in the restricted area tracking. Thus, instead of following one of the two (or more) structures, the trajectory is stopped and a new one starts for each separated eddy.\nOne example of the complex associations of eddies in a double extrema eddy detected by OSU is highlighted in Fig. 9. One single META2.0 main dark blue trajectory is followed along its path west of Australia for more than 6 months. The PET-detected eddies are associated with three smaller but coherent trajectories (PET1, PET2, PET3; see Fig. 9). At first, PET1 (in yellow) is coherent with the beginning of the META2.0 investigated trajectory. On 22 December 2008 (Fig. 9b), PET1 and PET2 (in red) are close enough to be detected as a single multiple extrema eddy in the META2.0 investigated trajectory. Nevertheless, the two independent PET trajectories do not merge and remain separated, as visible in the SLA contours and the chlorophyll background in Fig. 9b and c. Between 15 January 2009 (Fig. 9c) and 26 January 2009 (Fig. 9d), the META2.0 detection finally stops considering a large structure including PET1 and PET2 and only follows PET2. For this step, the restricted area-tracking scheme of META2.0 includes a virtual observation corresponding to an isolated position, due to the very rapid shape change. Meanwhile, the PET1 trajectory was caught by another META2.0 trajectory (in light blue). A similar scenario is repeated after 9 February 2009 (Fig. 9e) with the investigated trajectory encompassing the PET2 and PET3 (in orange) trajectories from 23 February to 20 April 2009 (Fig. 9f–i). Allowing the detection of a multiple extrema eddy led to a jump in the eddy's position, as it is calculated from the centroid of the SLA within the eddy. But again, despite the proximity of the two PET trajectories, the SLA and the chlorophyll maps attest to the absence of intense eddy interactions occurring before the main merging events. A few days after 2 April, the META2.0 investigated trajectory was stopped due to an important variation in the position and the radius of the eddies. A new META2.0 trajectory started, following the PET2 trajectory (light blue, Fig. 9j) whereas the PET3 trajectory corresponds to another META2.0 trajectory a few days before 30 May 2009 (Fig. 9k). Even though the main path of the trajectories depicted here is quite similar between PET and META2.0, their evolution is very different. The PET eddy trajectories never interacted enough to be considered as unique structures, as shown by their independent chlorophyll signature, and the PET2 and PET3 trajectories lasted longer than the META2.0 trajectory, without interacting with PET1. The possibility of detecting multiple extrema eddies in META2.0 may be in anticipation of merging events, or a better representation of splitting events, but they are also more likely to merge independent eddies. In addition to the inconsistency of the META2.0 trajectory dynamics, the META2.0 representation of eddies as an isotropic circle, and not by the real eddy contours, can lead to wrong associations of external data with the eddies, in particular in the case of the multiple extrema eddies. The series of snapshots in Fig. 9b–k highlight that the areas encompassed by the circles are likely to mix signatures from the eddies and the background field, and from different but geographically close eddies, whether of the same polarity or not. This example is illustrated online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vs3ZJNMViw, last access: 8 March 2022). In the video, we released particles within eddies' contours on 11 December 2008, and then advected them over time for the PET trajectories and the META2.0 investigated trajectory. The particles stayed within the PET eddies' cores for longer than the META2.0 investigated trajectory. The absence of merging events is highlighted, as each PET trajectory retains most of its particles within the contours. The particles clearly showed the benefit of providing eddy's contours instead of circles, and of detecting single rather than multiple extrema eddies in order to properly represent mesoscale eddies dynamics.\nThis example is not an isolated case; the behavior of the META2.0 trajectories, especially involving multi cores eddies, can be quite different from the PET trajectories. Unfortunately, metrics to quantify exactly how they differ are not available due to the complexity of the problem. Note that a recent study of You et al. (2022) also pointed to discrepancies in the location of eddies in the South China Sea provided by META2.0, due to the differences between the SLA extremum and the centroid of the eddies and to the multiple-extrema eddies in the case of close eddies or without circular shapes.\n3.2 Assessment of META3.1exp product\nThe new META3.1exp product differs from the META2.0 product regarding the input SSH field, the half-power cutoff wavelength used to filter it, and the detection and tracking algorithms. We saw in Sect. 3.1. that the change of the input field from SLA to ADT slightly decreased the number of detected eddies, whereas the change in the cutoff wavelength from 1000 to 700 km increased the number of detected eddies, but neither change strongly impacted the radii and amplitudes' distributions. On the other hand, the PET algorithm detected many more eddies than the OSU algorithm on the same maps (1.7 times more), and the change from the restricted area method to the overlap tracking also increased the number of trajectories lasting more than 10 d, especially for the longest lifetimes. Thus, when directly comparing the META2.0 and META3.1exp number of eddies and trajectories (Table 3), we can attribute the higher number of eddies in META3.1exp (1.8 times more) to the change of the algorithm. This implies more trajectories, and the change in tracking increases the percentage of trajectories lasting more than 30 d in the META3.1exp product compared to the META2.0 product. The number of eddies involved in the longer trajectories is similar in percentage between the two products, but represents almost twice as many eddies in META3.1exp than in META2.0. Note that the short trajectories (10 to 30 d) of META2.0 are not delivered to the users, but were processed here to be coherent with the META3.1exp description.\nAs noted in the previous section, the difficulty in comparing mesoscale eddy atlases is to identify which eddies are new, and in the conserved eddies, if they are similar or not. We provide in Fig. 10 the global distribution of the effective radius and amplitude of eddies detected and tracked for at least 10 d in the META2.0 and META3.1exp products. Remember that 62 % of the META2.0 eddies are associated with high SCs with the PET-detected eddies over the same input field (SLA filtered with a 1000 km half-power cutoff wavelength) and that 33 % of the PET-detected eddies are new, with a high proportion of small size eddies, both in amplitude and radius. The shorter trajectories lasting from 10 to 30 d have more than 5 % of the involved eddies with effective radii below 50 km in the META2.0 product, whereas a large number of eddies with these small dimensions are associated with the trajectories of META3.1exp, regardless of their lifetime (Fig. 10a). Indeed, eddies with amplitudes below 1 cm that are detected in META3.1exp (but not in META2.0) are often associated with short trajectories, but there are still small-amplitude eddies present in the longer trajectories (Fig. 10b), especially at the start and the ends of the trajectories. The smaller structures have physical consistency since they contribute to the short and long trajectories, despite being close to the resolution of the altimetric maps.\nFor the larger eddies, the amplitude values associated with the 75th percentile for the different lifetimes are always lower in the META3.1exp product than in the META2.0 product, except for the trajectories lasting more than 1 year. For the effective radius, the median values of the isotropic META2.0 eddies are higher than the more complex META3.1exp eddies by 35 km, for all lifetimes longer than 30 d. The largest (95th) percentile of the effective radius in META2.0 decreases as the lifetime increases, whereas in META3.1exp this value increases to reach a plateau around 145 km. These shifts towards higher radii and amplitudes can be explained by the absence of multiple extrema within an eddy in META3.1exp, since the presence of those multiple extrema eddies are a source of discrepancies in the construction of coherent trajectories, and are poorly linked to the chlorophyll data (9).\nFinally, following the analyses of Chelton et al. (2011), Fig. 11 shows the different geographical distributions of the long-lived trajectories (more than 365 d) for META2.0 and META3.1exp. The number of trajectories in META3.1exp is twice that of META2.0, and the higher latitudes exhibit more trajectories. The main geographical differences are linked to the increased detection from using ADT maps and not SLA. In particular, the more energetic regions are highly variable in SLA, allowing for the detection of anticyclones and cyclones over mean patterns, with very different patterns in the ADT detection. As presented in Sect. 3.1.1, the ADT-built trajectories are organized following the MDT patterns. The META3.1exp has more dynamical trajectories than META2.0 when tracking the anticyclonic Agulhas Rings and the cyclonic center of the Zapiola Eddy in the South Atlantic, the anticyclones and cyclones generated in the lee of Cabo Verde or the Hawaiian islands, the cyclones generated by the Leeuwin Current west of Australia and anticyclones generated south of Australia, the southern part of the Kuroshio and Gulf Stream veins, the Haida anticyclones in the Alaskan Gyre, and all the recurrent anticyclones of the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, some very static trajectories at high latitudes are suspected to be linked to the mapping methodology and thus should be taken with caution, and warrant further validation through independent data colocation.\nThe detection and tracking algorithms, as well as the implemented similarity coefficient, have been freely released under a GPL V3 license (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6333989; Delepoulle et al., 2022) in the Python language. A large gallery of illustrated and documented routines to help with the data manipulation and visualization is available, and is updated when new methods are developed (https://py-eddy-tracker.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.1/; py-eddy-tracker, 2022).\nWe produced two versions of META3.1exp in Delayed Time. The META3.1exp_twosat (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2021.002, Pegliasco et al., 2021b) presented here is based on the two-satellites maps (C3S), ensuring a stability of the represented scales in space and time. This product is recommended for long-term analyses, including climate studies. The META3.1exp_allsat (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2021.001, Pegliasco et al., 2021a) is based on the CMEMS all-satellites maps to take advantage of the entire constellation, providing a better but inhomogeneous representation of the smaller scales in space and time depending on the available satellites (Fig. 4).\nThe META3.1exp two-satellites and all-satellites products are available without restrictions at the following AVISO repository: https://data.aviso.altimetry.fr/aviso-gateway/data/META3.1exp_DT/; AVISO+ User Service, 2022). The associated handbook describes the variables stored in the NETcdf files (SALP-MU-P-EA-23489-CLS, 2021). Six files are provided for each META3.1exp (Table 4). For both cyclones and anticyclones, the untracked files contain all the individual eddies with no association in trajectories, the “short” files are for the trajectories lasting strictly less than the minimum lifetime parameter, set here at 10 d, and the “long” files are for the trajectories lasting at least the minimum lifetime parameter. The global attributes of each file inform the users of the algorithm version used to produce them, with their specific detection and tracking parameters. Be aware that the files are compressed, but loading them to use them will decompress the files. Since loading the contours is memory consuming, we recommend loading the files without these variables and make an extraction of the time period and geographic area of interest with the EddySubSetter application.\nNote that each threshold and parameter (input maps, cutoff wavelength, amplitude, shape error, number of pixels, trajectory lifetime) used to produce the META3.1exp datasets can be adapted by the users if they found the datasets not suitable for their study. The flexibility of the detection and tracking schemes is a strong advantage of the py-eddy-tracker package.\nWe present the new global Mesoscale Eddy Trajectory Atlas (META3.1exp). Numerous evolutions have been made from the META2.0 product, mainly to provide useful characteristics for users, in particular the eddy contours, which are mandatory for efficient colocation of eddies with other data. Moreover, some details of the detection and tracking algorithm were developed for weekly altimetric maps, with less accuracy than the daily products available at present, and needed to be adapted. The code has been freely released under a GPL V3 license (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6333989, Delepoulle et al., 2022) in the Python language, and the routines for data manipulation and visualization have been documented.\nThe changes between the META2.0 and META3.1exp concern the input sea level field, its filtering, the detection algorithm, and the tracking scheme. We developed a methodology to compare intermediate datasets where only one change is made at a time, and to compute an SC between matching eddies, from the ratio between their overlap area and their union. Using these diagnostics, we have quantified eddies which are similar in the intermediate datasets (SC over 40 %), those which differ (SC between 5 % and 40 %), those with multiples matches, and the new eddies present in only one dataset. The analysis was made on restricted datasets including only eddies in the open ocean involved in trajectories lasting at least 10 d, although all geographical regions and shorter eddy trajectories are included in the full dataset.\nPerforming the detection of mesoscale eddies on the ADT instead of SLA maps allows us to better represent ocean dynamics, since the SLA detected over strong MDT features represents their variability (weakening, reinforcement, displacement) but not their absolute polarity (anticyclones or cyclones). This eddy-detection change isolated from the others slightly reduced the number of detected eddies. Nevertheless, a large majority of eddies (77 %) are very similar between the ADT and the SLA detection in the open ocean, with no marked influence on the radius and amplitude distributions. The major impact induced by the use of ADT maps is the geographical reorganization of the trajectories, with preferential occurrence of anticyclones (cyclones) over anticyclonic (cyclonic) MDT patterns in the META3.1exp dataset. To take into account the sharp gradients introduced in the ADT by the MDT while maintaining the mesoscale patterns in the filtered maps, the half-power cutoff wavelength was reduced from 1000 to 700 km. This change slightly increased the number of detected eddies, and the similar eddies (87 % of the dataset) had their radius and amplitude increased, but not significantly. The tracking scheme was also changed to improve the trajectories' reliability. Instead of searching for the eddy candidates to associate with a trajectory over a restricted area, the overlap method needs an overlap between the eddy and its next candidate, and the largest overlap is associated with the main trajectory in the case of multiple candidates. The number of consecutive virtual eddies introduced to respond to the “missing eddy problem” was increased from three to four. The overlap method follows eddies over longer lifetimes, and this occurs without overuse of virtual observations in the constitution of trajectories.\nThe major change comes with the detection algorithm change, from OSU, the historical detection algorithm, to the PET algorithm used to build the META3.1exp product. The PET algorithm detection is responsible for almost doubling the number of detected eddies compared with META2.0. Nevertheless, more than 60 % of the META2.0 eddies are similarly represented in the PET detection. Among the different eddies, two specific populations have been identified. First, eddies not detected in META2.0 are involved in trajectories regardless of their size. Despite a non-negligible quantity of these eddies having small amplitudes, their time consistency proves they are not noise or artifacts due to the mapping procedure. The other interesting category is the multiple extrema eddies authorized in META2.0, whereas the PET algorithm only retains eddies with a unique extremum. This implies that 17 % of the META2.0 eddies have multiple extrema and are associated with two individual eddies detected with the PET algorithm. Despite their smaller sizes, the unique PET-detected eddies have more consistent lifetimes than the multiple extrema eddies. Note that the multiple extrema eddies do not correspond with individual eddies interacting before merging or after splitting events. Moreover, multiple extrema eddies show less concordance with the chlorophyll data than the associated PET eddies. The combination of new eddies and two eddies instead of one multi-core eddy in the META3.1exp product pushes the amplitude and radius distributions towards smaller values compared with META2.0, despite the consistency of effective radius and amplitudes for the similar eddies. The additional eddies in META3.1exp were not detected or available at the global scale until now; they appear to be consistent with longer trajectories, but they still need scientific validation that can be provided by their colocation with independent data.\nEM and AD developed and maintained the PET code. AD provided new routines and methods, and generated the META3.1exp datasets and the intermediate atlases.

The definition and classification of glacial lakes remain controversial, presenting certain obstacles to extensive utilization of glacial lake inventory data. This study integrated glacier inventory data and 668 Landsat TM, ETM+, and OLI images and adopted manual visual interpretation to extract glacial lake boundaries within a 10 km buffer from glacier extent using ArcGIS and ENVI software, normalized difference water index maps, and Google Earth images. The theoretical and methodological basis for all processing steps including glacial lake definition and classification, lake boundary delineation, and uncertainty assessment is discussed comprehensively in the paper. Moreover, detailed information regarding the coding, location, perimeter and area, area error, type, time phase, source image information, and subregions of the located lakes is presented. It was established that 27 205 and 30 121 glacial lakes (size 0.0054–6.46 km2) in HMA covered a combined area of 1806.47±2.11 and 2080.12±2.28 km2 in 1990 and 2018, respectively. The data set is now available from the National Special Environment and Function of Observation and Research Stations Shared Service Platform (China): https://doi.org/10.12072/casnw.064.2019.db (Wang et al., 2019a).\nAgainst the background of climate warming and the consequent widespread mass loss of glaciers in alpine regions, increasing volumes of glacial meltwater are being released. This results in glacial lake expansion and extended areas of low-lying terrain (e.g. depressions and troughs) left behind by retreating glaciers in which water can accumulate and new glacial lakes can form (Clague and Evans, 2000; Mool et al., 2001; Song et al., 2016). As both a water resource and a source of flash flood and debris flow hazards, glacial lakes participate in several natural processes, e.g. regional energy and water cycles (Slemmons et al., 2013); act as both indicators and containers of environmental information (Wang et al., 2016, 2019b; Zhang et al., 2019); and drive hillslope erosion and landscape evolution (Cook et al., 2018) in the alpine cryosphere. On the one hand, glacial lakes act as temporary storage for the meltwater resource because a considerable amount of meltwater is retained by glacial lake expansion; e.g. approximately 0.2 % a−1 of the total glacial meltwater was reserved in glacial lakes from 1990 to 2010 in the Tien Shan in central Asia (Wang et al., 2013). On the other hand, given the worldwide expansion in lake area in recent decades, the potential will increase for glacial lakes to develop into glacial lake outburst floods and related debris flows that could threaten downstream residents, infrastructure, and regional ecological and environmental security (Huggel et al., 2002; ICMOD, 2011; Bolch et al., 2012; Haeberli et al., 2016). Thus, glacial lakes perform important roles both in the meltwater cycle and in glacier hazard evolution in the cryosphere.\nFollowing the rapid development of remote sensing technology and computer science, remote sensing imagery acquired by various satellites and sensors has been used widely in glacial lake research. In particular, Landsat imagery has become the most important data source for the dynamic investigation of glacial lakes because of its wide coverage, continuous and long-term temporal sequence, and accessibility. Based on remote sensing data, both the distribution and the characteristics of change in glacial lakes in the mountains and watersheds in the high-mountain Asia (HMA) region have been widely reported (Supplement Table S1). For example, multi-source remote sensing imagery has been used to compile glacial lake inventories for regions of the Tibetan Plateau (Zhang et al., 2015), the Tien Shan (Wang et al., 2013), the Himalaya (Gardelle et al., 2011; Nie et al., 2017), the Hengduan Mountains (Wang et al., 2017), Uzbekistan (Petrov et al., 2017), Pakistan (Senese et al., 2018), and HMA, excluding the Altai and Sayan (Chen et al., 2020). These inventories have proved an important data resource both for revealing the spatio-temporal characteristics of glacial lakes and for understanding the response of glacial lakes to the effects of climate change in these regions.\nAutomatic and semi-automatic glacial lake boundary vectorization approaches have been used most widely in regional glacial lake investigations because of their higher efficiency and objectivity in comparison with manual visual vectorization. In such research, water bodies are usually determined based on the characteristics of different remote sensing bands and computer-dependent algorithms, e.g. the normalized difference water index (NDWI), band ratio, support vector machine, decision tree, spectral transformation, object-oriented classification, global–local iterative scheme, active contour model, and random forest (Gardelle et al., 2011; Huggel et al., 2002; Li et al., 2011; Veh et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2018). However, manual post-processing is often required to calibrate the uncertainties that could easily be produced by the above approaches. Furthermore, the labour costs associated with rectification of lake boundary errors increase sharply with increasing complexity of study area terrain (Yang et al., 2019). With consideration of the accuracy, efficiency, and time overheads associated with the various vectorization approaches, a manual vectorization approach was adopted for investigation of the glacial lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (Zhang et al., 2015) despite the labour requirements and the anticipated additional errors produced by individual subjectivity (Nie et al., 2017; Yang et al., 2019; Song et al., 2014).\nControversies and knowledge gaps remain regarding available glacial lake inventories for different alpine cryosphere regions, which present certain obstacles to extensive utilization of glacial lake inventory data. The main problems relate to regional differences in lake development, inconsistent specifications of lake definition, and the adoption of various approaches regarding lake interpretation (Yao et al., 2018). There is no existing comprehensive glacial lake inventory for the entire HMA, and knowledge regarding the spatio-temporal characteristics of glacial lakes in this region remains incomplete. The objectives of this study were to fill this knowledge gap by producing a glacial lake inventory data set for HMA derived from Landsat images and to provide fundamental data for water resource evaluation, assessment of glacial lake outburst floods, and glacier hydrology research in the mountain cryosphere region.\nThe HMA area mainly comprises the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding alpine ranges. The area is divided into 13 subregions in version 6 of the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI 6.0), i.e. the Himalayan area (western Himalaya, central Himalaya, and eastern Himalaya), the Hengduan Mountains, southern and eastern Tibet, Inner Tibet, the Karakoram and western Kunlun, the Qilian Shan and eastern Kunlun, the Hindu Kush, the Pamir, the Hissar–Alay and western Tien Shan, the eastern Tien Shan, and the Altai and Sayan (Arendt et al., 2015; Pfeffer et al., 2014). The boundaries of the 13 subregions and outlines of the glaciers in HMA derived from RGI 6.0 are shown in Fig. 1. This region (26–54∘ N, 67–104∘ E) is characterized by tremendously complex topographic conditions with a widespread distribution of mountain glaciers. According to the Climatic Research Unit Time Series v4.02 data set (http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/cru/data/cru_ts/cru_ts_4.02/, last access: 5 September 2020), the air temperature of the different subregions in HMA increased at an average annual rate of 0.002–0.054 ∘ a−1 during 1990–2018 (Fig. 1). The annual rate of change in precipitation in HMA during 1990–2018 varied from −9.9 to 4.2 mm a−1 with a small average rate of increase of 0.3 mm a−1.\nThe HMA area has the largest surviving glaciers of any region other than the polar regions. As reported in RGI 6.0, there were 97 973 modern glaciers in our study area, covering a total area of approximately 98 768.86 km2. Together, these glaciers produced an average negative mass balance of kg m−2 a−1 (Hock et al., 2019), which was the primary source of water supply for the development of glacial lakes. Over recent decades, glaciers in most areas of HMA appear to have experienced widespread mass wastage and area shrinkage (Bolch et al., 2012; Yao et al., 2012; Kääb et al., 2012; Brun et al., 2017). However, the so-called “Karakoram Anomaly” refers to a region that is a prominent exception, which is characterized by glaciers with stable or positive mass balance (Hewitt, 2005; Gardner et al., 2013; Kääb et al., 2015).\nWe developed our glacial lake inventory of HMA based on 668 high-quality images selected from more than 1800 Landsat images with a 30 m spatial resolution derived from the websites of the United States Geological Survey (https://www.usgs.gov/, last access: 5 September 2020) and Geospatial Data Cloud (http://www.gscloud.cn/, last access: 5 September 2020). To ensure the accuracy of glacial lake boundary extraction, the following criteria were applied to imagery selection. First, the cloud coverage in an image had to be <10 %. Second, for areas with no eligible or only low-quality imagery (because of snow or shadows) in the given year, acceptable images from years closest to the given year were chosen as replacements (Fig. 2). Third, images acquired in summer or autumn (June–November), when lake areas were believed to be near to or at their maximal extent, were set as optimal choices to minimize the impact produced by seasonal area changes in the glacial lakes (Fig. 2). Based on the above criteria, 394 and 274 Landsat images were selected to represent circa 1990 and circa 2018, respectively, which completely covered the buffer area within 10 km of glacier extent acquired from the second Chinese glacier inventory (http://westdc.westgis.ac.cn, last access: 5 September 2020) and RGI 6.0 (https://www.glims.org/RGI/rgi60_dl.html, last access: 5 September 2020). Among the selected images, those acquired during summer and autumn (June–November) accounted for 82.0 % of the total number of selected images, while those acquired during autumn (September–November) accounted for 56.9 % of the total number. In addition, a Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation model with a spatial resolution of 1 arcsec (http://imagico.de/map/demsearch.php, last access: 5 September 2020) was used to derive the elevation of the glacial lakes.\n4.1 Outline of workflow\nThe methods and workflow adopted in this study to produce the glacial lake inventory mainly included collation of knowledge and formulation of the specifications of the glacial lake inventory, data preprocessing, manual vectorization of glacial lakes, interactive checking and error controlling, and attribute database assignment (Fig. 3).\nCollation of available knowledge regarding glacial lake inventories. As much literature as possible relevant to the investigation and recording of glacial lakes was collected. The various definitions and classifications of glacial lakes, as well as the methods adopted previously for glacial lake boundary extraction and assessment of the extent of glacial lake distributions, were summarized, and normative rules were formulated for the HMA glacial lake inventory, as explained further in Sect. 4.2.\nFormulation of the specifications of lake identification. First, a working group of four leading experts in the field was founded in 2014 to discuss and formulate the specifications of the glacial lake inventory. Current knowledge regarding identification of lakes from Landsat imagery (e.g. pixel colour, lake shape, and lake background features) and specifications of vectorization (e.g. viewing scale of 1:10 000 on a computer screen vectorization of mixed pixels) were discussed, and unified operating criteria were compiled to guide the glacial lake inventory operatives. Novice vectorization operatives were trained until their vectorization results met the pre-specifications of the inventory.\nPreprocessing of remote sensing data. Preprocessing of the Landsat imagery included false-colour compositing and calculation of NDWI maps. The false-colour composite images were based on combinations of the operating bands of 7, 5, and 2 or 4, 3, and 2 for Landsat TM and ETM+ images and 5, 4, and 3 for Landsat OLI images. The preliminary lake extent was extracted automatically from each image over the entire HMA area using the NDWI based on the near-infrared band (NIR) and green band (GREEN), which represent the minimum and maximum water reflectance, respectively (McFeeters, 1996; Zhai et al., 2015; Li et al., 2016; Zhang et al., 2018):\nwhere Bi is the spectral band of Landsat imagery. The NDWI maps were calculated for each selected Landsat image using different region-specific thresholds. Liu et al. (2016) and Du et al. (2014) suggested that it might be preferable to set the optimized threshold of NDWIGREEN∕NIR of Landsat OLI images to −0.05. By considering the edge effects according to the mixed pixels, this study initially selected a lower optimal threshold (approx. −0.1) for specific images to obtain the maximum water body. Then, higher thresholds were tested for visual water extraction before a suitable threshold (which varied in the range of −0.10 to 0.20) was selected for a given image to obtain the NDWI map. When manual vectorization was performed on a false-colour composite image, the NDWI maps of potential glacial lakes were overlaid to assist in glacial lake identification.\nManual vectorization and entering of attribute data. The inventory work was performed during 2014–2019. Seven groups were formed to conduct lake boundary vectorization of the 13 HMA subregions. After vectorization of a glacial lake, it was required that manual attribute items (e.g. data source and lake type) be input concurrently.\nInteractive checking and accuracy control. First, glacial lakes were discerned via human–computer interaction; i.e. potential glacial lakes were revealed by the NDWI maps or identified visually from the false-colour composite images. Second, glacial lake boundary vectorization results were checked interactively by another vectorization operative to eliminate misclassified areas of shadow and ice and to add areas of glacial lakes evidently omitted in the boundary extraction process. This checking process also minimized the subjective judgement errors of the operatives. Third, attribute items such as glacial lake classification, new or disappeared lakes, and separated or coalesced lakes were checked interactively. In this process, Google Earth imagery was used as an important auxiliary reference data source for error examination.\n4.2 Illustration of key methods\n4.2.1 Definition of glacial lakes\nThe definition of a glacial lake determines the type of cryosphere water body that will be recorded as a glacial lake. There are multiple definitions of a glacial lake based on different perspectives (Mool et al., 2001; Yao et al., 2018). When glacial lake inventories are undertaken, most emphasize the elementary role of glaciation in the formation of glacial lakes (Clague and Evans, 2000; Mool et al., 2001). The important difference is whether the period of glaciation or the supply source of glacial lakes is given greatest attention. Some studies that have focused on the former have proposed that a glacial lake is a natural water body formed by alpine glacier movement since the Last Glacial Maximum, i.e. distinguishing between ancient or modern glaciers (Liu et al., 1988; Costa and Schuster, 1988). However, other studies have emphasized the relation of glacial lakes to meltwater in glaciated areas (Wang et al., 2013, 2014; Zhang et al., 2015). The glacial lake inventory data compiled in this study are intended for use both in water source evaluation and in assessment of environmental change in the alpine cryosphere. Thus, lakes related to glaciers or to glaciation in the alpine cryosphere were all recorded as glacial lakes.\nMost Quaternary glaciers have disappeared, and the remaining relics are incomplete, which makes it difficult to recover a continuous and complete glaciation range in alpine regions. Thus, it is of great importance to determine the range of glaciation in an alpine region when conducting a glacial lake inventory based on remote sensing data. The most practical approach might be to specify an indicator threshold to define the glaciation extent according to relevant findings of existing glacier relics in a typical region. On the one hand, the glaciation frontier can usually be indicated by a specified lowest-elevation threshold, which is generally closely related to the regional climatic context caused by the elevation effect. However, the lowest-elevation threshold might vary enormously with respect to different regions because regional climatic settings differ. For instance, the lowest elevations of 1700 m in Austria (Buckel et al., 2018), 2000 m in Pakistan (Senese et al., 2018), 3000 m in Nepal and Bhutan (Mool et al., 2001), and 3500 m in Peru (Hanshaw and Bookhagen, 2014) were used as specified elevation thresholds to record glacial lakes. On the other hand, defining glaciation extent within a specific distance from modern glacier terminals could be more suitable for the establishment of a glacial lake inventory in relatively large-scale regions with a complex regional climate, because the differing climate within large-scale regions can be indicated approximately by the lowest elevation of individual glacier terminals. Some studies have adopted distances of 2, 3, or 10 km from modern glacier terminals as thresholds with which to define areas of glacial lakes (Petrov et al., 2017; Veh et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2012, 2013). Distances of 2, 5, 10, and 20 km were considered by Zhang et al. (2015). They found that a distance of 10 km from a modern glacier terminal might be a reasonable guide to glaciation extent and a threshold suitable for a glacial lake inventory of the Tibetan Plateau. This was supported by the finding that the most distant glacierized boundary of the Little Ice Age was up to 10 km from the modern glaciers in the Himalaya area (Wang et al., 2012; Nie et al., 2017). Additionally, to record glacial lakes more precisely, combined distance and elevation thresholds have been used simultaneously to define areas of glacial lakes in special small regions; e.g. lakes at elevations above 1500 m and within 2 km of modern glaciers were recorded as glacial lakes in Uzbekistan (Petrov et al., 2017). In this study, given the large scale of the HMA region with its complex climatic context and extremely varied terrain, the data set compiled included glacial lakes within a buffer zone of 10 km from modern glacier extent, which covered an area of approximately 1.25×106 km2 according to the second glacier inventory of China and RGI 6.0 (Fig. 1).\n4.2.2 Classification of glacial lakes\nIn glaciation regions, the characteristics of glacial lakes, which include the phase of lake formation, lake basin topography, dam material constituents, geometrical relationship with modern glaciers, and source of water supply (or combinations thereof), have been employed as the basis for glacial lake classification systems (Huggel et al., 2002; Liu et al., 1988; Mool et al., 2001; Yao et al., 2018). For instance, based on lake basin topography, lakes in an inventory of the Hindu Kush–Himalaya region were classified as erosion lakes, valley trough lakes, cirque lakes, blocked lakes, lateral moraine- and end moraine-dammed lakes, and supraglacial lakes (Liu et al., 1988; Mool et al., 2001). Recently, Yao et al. (2018) presented a complete classification schema for glacial lake inventory and study of glacial lake hazards that included six classes and eight subclasses based mainly on the mechanism of glacial lake formation, lake basin topography, and the geometrical relationship with modern glaciers.\nGenerally, it is a little difficult to distinguish glacial lake type in terms of material properties, topographic features, and phase of lake formation using remote sensing imagery. Moreover, most of the standards mentioned above were found inapplicable in previous studies of glacial lake classification in large-scale regions such as HMA because of the lack of enough remote sensing data with a satisfactory spatial resolution. In this study, the hydrologic relationship between glacial lakes and modern glaciers was adopted as a classification criterion because the present data set is intended to provide fundamental data for water resource evaluation and glacier hazard assessment. Consequently, glacial lakes were divided into just two types: glacier-fed lakes and non-glacier-fed lakes. The glacier-fed lakes were further divided into three subclasses: supraglacial lakes (lakes developed on glacier surface), ice-contacted lakes (lakes contacting the glacier terminal or margin), and ice-uncontacted lakes (lakes not contacting the glacier but fed directly by glacial meltwater). This classification was based on whether the surface hydrological flow of the modern glacier and topographic features of the lake basin allowed for a lake to receive meltwater from the modern glacier. To achieve reliable classification results, glacial lakes were distinguished with the assistance of 3D digital terrain imagery from Google Earth, a Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation model, and glacier outlines from RGI 6.0. Based on visual inspection of the satellite images and with reference to 3D digital terrain imagery from Google Earth, we recorded a glacier-fed lake when (1) a lake had lower elevation than the modern glacier (mother glacier) and (2) the meltwater of the mother glacier(s) could flow into the lake via surface channels. It is common for glacial lakes to be fed by meltwater through subsurface channels; however, we ignored this because it is difficult to survey the subsurface channels of glacial lakes using remote sensing data. In addition, lake type was distinguished based on the topographic features of the lake basin and the modern glaciers; in most cases, it is possible that the lakes were fed by meltwater flowing through both subsurface and surface channels.\n4.2.3 Extraction of lake boundary\nThis study adopted automatic glacial lake extraction and manual glacial lake boundary vectorization to determine glacial lake boundaries. In the NDWI-based automatic lake boundary extraction approach, two bands were selected to facilitate a ratio calculation to maximize the difference between water and non-water objects in the remote sensing imagery based on a given threshold. The given threshold was determined subjectively with consideration of how much detailed information of the lake water bodies was captured precisely. The given threshold was varied to account for various factors such as the differences in Landsat sensors (i.e. TM, ETM+, and OLI), time phase of images, quality of images, and complexity of surface features. To achieve the optimal threshold for lake water body recognition, the candidate threshold was debugged iteratively for each image. In practice, because the area of the glacial lakes was usually small (see next paragraph) and the spectral features of the lake water bodies were varied, the threshold had to be set to allow for the capture of the greatest number of water body pixels, which consequently resulted in simultaneous acquisition of more non-lake-water-body noise information. It also resulted in more effort in the subsequent manual modification to reduce noise information using methods such as algorithms to eliminate mountain shadows (Gardelle et al., 2011).\nManual visual vectorization distinguishes lake boundaries by identifying the unique texture, colour, and other characteristics of glacial lakes in false-colour composite images based on available professional knowledge and accumulated experience in vectorization operations. Even though it was regarded a time-consuming and labour-intensive process, it was also considered an attractive approach because of its consistency, high level of quality control, and reasonably simple operational procedure, given the varied quality of Landsat images available for the large-scale HMA region. In this study, the manual visual vectorization process was generally found more suitable in terms of effort and precision for generating a glacial lake inventory data set of the HMA region in comparison with automatic glacial lake extraction. Therefore, manual visual vectorization in conjunction with NDWI maps was the main method adopted to extract glacial lake boundaries to minimize the deficiencies produced by individual subjectivity of the operatives.\nThe minimum number of pixels used to extract a glacial lake water body was found to be inconsistent in the available literature. For example, arbitrary threshold areas of 0.0027 km2 (3 lake water body pixels; Zhang et al., 2015) and 0.0081 km2 (9 lake water body pixels; Nie et al., 2017) were used in earlier glacial lake investigations. Moreover, minimum threshold areas of 0.01 km2 (approximately 10 lake water body pixels), 0.02 km2 (approximately 22 lake water body pixels), and 0.1 km2 (approximately 111 lake water body pixels) have also been set to evaluate the level of risk of glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalaya and Tien Shan (Petrov et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2013; Worni et al., 2013; Bolch et al., 2011; Allen et al., 2019). Theoretically, 1 pure pixel of a lake water body could be recorded as a glacial lake. However, a glacial lake is generally not represented by 1 pure pixel unless it is aligned perfectly with the raster grid; usually, it would be surrounded partly or fully by 1–8 mixed lake water body pixels (Fig. 4a, b). Consequently, manual delineation was required for approximately one-half, one-eighth, or seven-eighths of the peripheral mixed pixels surrounding pure lake water body pixels (Fig. 4d, e). If 3 or 4 pure lake water body pixels exist in a Landsat image, the maximum number of peripheral mixed pixels is 12 (Fig. 4d, e). Usually, for 3 pure lake water body pixels, the ratio of the area of pure lake water body pixels to the area of peripheral mixed pixels can be expressed as follows:\nFor 4 pure lake water body pixels, the ratio of the area of pure lake water body pixels to the area of peripheral mixed pixels is\nThus, in this study, the minimum glacial lake area recorded was set at 0.0054 km2 (e.g. 3–4 pure lake water body pixels with approximately 12 peripheral mixed pixels, which equate to approximately 6 full lake water body pixels) because a lake area covering less than 3 pure lake water pixels could possibly have an error of >100 % (Fig. 4b, c) despite the revised coefficient of 1 standard deviation (0.6872) involved (see Sect. 5).\n4.2.4 Input of attribute items\nEight attribute items were input into the HMA glacial lake inventory: lake coding, location (longitude, latitude, and elevation), perimeter, area, type, area error, time phase, source image information, and subregion of located lake. (1) We encoded each glacial lake based on its central location using the same coding format as used by the National Snow and Ice Data Center to encode glaciers. The code can be expressed as “GLmmmmmmEnnnnnN”, where m and n represent the results of the longitude and latitude of each glacial lake centroid multiplied by 1000, respectively; GL is the abbreviation of glacial lake; and E and N represent eastings and northings, respectively. (2) The location information of each glacial lake was labelled as the geographic coordinates of the centroid of the shape of each glacial lake, calculated using ArcMap software. The lake elevation was defined as the average elevation of a buffer zone of a 30 m radius centred on the glacial lake centroid, which was derived from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation model. (3) The area and perimeter of each lake were calculated using ArcMap based on the unified geography coordinate system of WGS 1984 and the Asia North Albers equal-area conic projection system, respectively, to avoid errors caused by projection deformation. (4) The error of lake area was calculated using Eqs. (4) and (5) (Sect. 5). (5) Lake type, which was input manually, was defined as supraglacial lake, ice-contacted lake, ice-uncontacted lake, or non-glacier-fed lake (see Sect. 4.2.2). (6) Lake time phase was the acquisition date of the original Landsat image, which was recorded as the time phase for each lake. (7) Source image information referred to the image number of the Landsat images used to extract the glacial lake boundary. (8) The subregion to which each lake belonged identified the regional location within the HMA area. Each lake was assigned based on .shp file data of the boundaries of the 13 HMA subregions, obtained from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, using the ArcMap spatial analysis tool.\nThe errors associated with glacial lake extraction from remote sensing imagery using manual visual delineation are generally related to components of the quality of the images (e.g. spatio-temporal resolution, cloud coverage, and mountain shadows), experience, operative subjectivity, and the threshold area of the inventory (Gardelle et al., 2011; Hall et al., 2003; Paul et al., 2004; Salerno et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2015). It has been reported that the area error in glacial lake boundary extraction based on remote sensing images can be approximately ±0.5 pixels depending on the quality of the imagery (Fujita et al., 2009; Salerno et al., 2012). Furthermore, the area error in glacial lake delineation attributable to manual delineation can be assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution (Hanshaw and Bookhagen, 2014). Hence, the theoretical maximum area error in glacial lake boundary extraction is the half area of the edge pixels because pure lake water body pixels are usually surrounded by mixed pixels (Fig. 4). The lake area error of a single glacial lake within 1 standard deviation (1σ) can be expressed as follows (Hanshaw and Bookhagen, 2014):\nwhere P is the perimeter of the glacial lake (m), G is the spatial resolution of the remote sensing imagery (30 m in this data set), 0.6872 is the revised coefficient under 1σ (i.e. approximately 69 % of peripheral pixels are subjected to errors), E is the relative error of the glacial lake, and A is the total area of the glacial lake. Then the accumulation of errors in all the lake areas for the entire study region or subregions can be calculated using the following formula based on error propagation theory:\nwhere ET is the area error of the entire study region or subregions, i is the lake of no. i in the entire study region or subregions, and a is the error area of a single lake.\nThe resulting calculated error indicated that the total absolute area error in HMA glacial lakes was approximately ±2.11 and ±2.28 km2 and the average relative error was ±13.5 % and ±13.2 % in 1990 and 2018, respectively. The relative area errors of each lake varied from 1 % to 79 %, and a significant power exponential relationship was found between the relative area error and the sizes of the glacial lakes (; Fig. 5a). Small-sized lakes (i.e. area ≤0.01 km2, which accounted for 2 % of the total lake area in HMA) had the largest average relative area error of 44.6 % (Fig. 5b). Medium-sized lakes (i.e. area of 0.01–0.1 km2, which accounted for 34 % of the total lake area in HMA) had an average relative area error of 22.0 % (Fig. 5c). Large-sized lakes (i.e. area ≥0.1 km2, which accounted for 64 % of the total lake area in HMA) had the smallest average relative area error of 7.6 % (Fig. 5d). In summary, smaller glacial lakes in the HMA region had larger relative area errors and vice versa.\nTo further verify the accuracy of the manual delineation of glacial lake boundaries, nine lakes located within the HMA region were surveyed using a portable GPS device (Trimble GeoXH6000) with decimetre accuracy during July–August 2018 (Fig. 6). The lakes selected for field survey covered areas of 0.01–2.97 km2. The field-based lake boundaries were compared with those obtained via manual delineation (i.e. derived from Landsat OLI imagery acquired during 2018). It was found that the area error (i.e. the percentage difference in the absolute area encircled by the manually delineated lake boundary and that derived by the GPS survey) varied from 5.5 % to 16.3 %. Moreover, it was determined that the average horizontal distance deviation between the two types of boundary varied from 3.2 to 15.3 m (Table 1). Overall, the horizontal deviations were largely confined to 1 pixel, and the average accuracy of the delineation of glacial lake boundaries was within ±0.5 pixels (±15 m).\nNote that “/” indicates the sample lake boundary was only partly surveyed using the handheld GPS device.\nAs indicated by the achieved HMA glacial lake inventory, 30 121 (2080.12±2.28 km2) glacial lakes were identified in 2018 and their distribution had considerable spatial heterogeneity (Fig. 7). The greatest concentration of glacial lakes was in the Altai and Sayan (335.42±0.88 km2, which accounted for 16.1 % of the total area of glacial lakes) and the eastern Himalaya (310.37±0.89 km2, which accounted for 14.9 % of the total area of glacial lakes). Relatively few glacial lakes were found distributed in the eastern Kunlun and Qilian Shan (38.85±0.29 km2, which accounted for 1.9 % of the total area of glacial lakes) and the eastern Tien Shan (40.55±0.32 km2, which accounted for 2.0 % of the total area of glacial lakes). The HMA glacial lakes were located within the elevation range of 1357–6247 m in 2018. An approximate normal distribution was presented both for the lakes of the entire HMA region and for the lakes in most subregions. More than 43 % of the HMA lake area has survived within the vertical range of 4500–5400 m, with the peak lake area of 241.89±0.80 km2 (accounting for 11.6 % of the total area) in the range of 5100–5300 m. The elevation band of peak lake area in the different subregions varied from 2300–2500 m in the Altai and Sayan to 5300–5500 m in the central Himalaya, Karakoram, and western Kunlun.\nThe HMA glacial lakes experienced widespread areal expansion during 1990–2018 with an average rate of increase in area of 15.2 % (Fig. 7). The rate of change in area varied widely between different subregions and different 200 m elevation bands. The glacial lakes in eastern Kunlun and Qilian Shan experienced the most rapid expansion in area during 1990–2018 with an average rate of increase of 45.6 %, whereas the rate of change was only 7.5 % in Altai and Sayan. Glacial lakes have tended to develop to higher elevations during recent decades with the maximum distribution elevation of 6078 m in 1990 rising to 6247 m in 2018. The rate of change of glacial lakes in the different 200 m elevation bands presented a large average trend against elevation, rising as a whole during 1990–2018 (Fig. 7). The lake area expanded most from the elevation of approximately 5000 m, and the rate of expansion reached approximately 28 % at 5700–5900 m in the entire HMA region, although it differed between different subregions. Lake area showed a notable rate of increase with elevation in most subregions, e.g. the Hissar–Alay and western Tien Shan, Hindu Kush, eastern Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains, eastern Tien Shan, and Altai and Sayan. The rate of expansion varied markedly and no observable trends in the rate of increase or decrease with elevation were discovered in Karakoram and western Kunlun, western Himalaya, and Inner Tibet. The rate of expansion in the central Himalaya and southern and eastern Tibet was found to have seemingly decreased with increasing elevation (Fig. 7).\nThere are at least 34 published reports or data sets on the regional extent of glacial lakes in the HMA area, which are based on various lake boundary extraction methods and different data sources (Supplement Table S1). This previous research work examined glacial lakes from as early as 1962 up until 2017. However, it is difficult to evaluate any discrepancies comprehensively because different extents of glacial lake distribution were examined and inconsistent thresholds of minimum lake area were used. Glacial lake inventory data of the Third Pole region in 1990 (Zhang et al., 2015) and of the HMA (Chen et al., 2020) in 2017 were used for comparison because both recorded glacial lakes in the same buffer zone (i.e. within 10 km of the modern glacier extent) and over similar periods. For the comparison, the same thresholds and regions were adopted for the inventory data. Marked discrepancies were found to exist between the different data sets in terms of both the number and the area of the glacial lakes. In 1990, only 4601 glacial lakes (≥0.0054 km2) with a total area of 554.33 km2 were recorded by Zhang et al. (2015), whereas 20 410 glacial lakes with a total area of 1376.23 km2 were catalogued in the Third Pole region in this study. In 2017, 14 477 glacial lakes with a total area of 1635.94 km2 were recorded by Chen et al. (2020), whereas we recorded 22 727 glacial lakes (≥0.0081 km2) with a total area of 1726.41 km2 in 2018 in HMA (excluding Altai and Sayan). We consider the discrepancies attributable to three primary factors. (1) The buffer zone within 10 km of the modern glacier extent was inconsistent between the data sets because different glacier inventories were used. (2) Different operatives catalogued the glacial lakes using different remote sensing data covering different periods. (3) Many glacial lakes were possibly missed because of the comparatively less manual vectorization effort involved in the work of Zhang et al. (2015) and Chen et al. (2020). Overall, our glacial lake inventory catalogued glacial lakes throughout the entire HMA more comprehensively and with more careful error assessment when compared with available glacial lake data sets from regional or river-basin-based studies.\nSeveral limitations deserve proper consideration when using the glacial lake inventory data. First, a degree of uncertainty resulted from using Landsat image data that covered different periods, i.e. both interannually and seasonally. Although images acquired in summer or autumn (June–November) were set as optimal choices, the selected images covered most seasons of the year; e.g. the images selected in June–November accounted for only 72.3 % and 88.8 % of the total number in 2018 and 1990, respectively. Interannually, images were selected from a span of 10 a (1986–1995) and 4 a (2016–2019) to obtain sufficient high-quality images of the HMA area. Second, this study recorded all lakes located within the 10 km buffer area of glacier extent as glacial lakes. Therefore, certain lakes that have no relation to glaciers or to glaciation (i.e. non-glacial lakes) in the alpine cryosphere were potentially catalogued in error because of the difficulty in distinguishing non-glacial lakes from glacial lakes based on remote sensing data. Third, we identified water bodies related to glaciers or to glaciation in the alpine cryosphere as glacial lakes. However, in many cases, it was difficult to determine whether such bodies should be recorded as glacial lakes, e.g. cases of long narrow water bodies on rivers and cases where the number of pure water body pixels was small. Thus, some errors and inconsistences were inevitable because of having different operatives performing the lake boundary vectorization and inspection. In future, this glacial lake inventory will be updated and shared on the National Special Environment and Function of Observation and Research Stations Shared Service Platform (China).\nThe data set developed in this study comprises two .shp file documents containing the glacial lake inventory of the HMA region in 1990 and 2018. The data set can now be accessed via the website of the National Special Environment and Function of Observation and Research Stations Shared Service Platform (China): https://doi.org/10.12072/casnw.064.2019.db (Wang et al., 2019a).\nA glacial lake inventory of the HMA region was realized based on satellite remote sensing data and GIS techniques. Eight attribute items were recorded in the glacial lake inventory data set of the HMA region. Lake area error was assessed carefully with respect to theoretical analysis of lake boundary pixels and actual boundaries derived by GPS field-based surveys. On average, the deviations between the delineation of lake boundaries derived using the two methods were within ±0.5 pixels (±15 m). The relative area errors of each lake in 2018 varied from 1 % to 79 %, and the average relative area errors of ±13.2 % in the entire HMA region were characterized by an increase in the relative area error with decreasing lake size.\nOverall, 30 121 glacial lakes with a total area of 2080.12±2.28 km2 were catalogued in 2018 in the HMA region. Glacial lakes survived in all 13 subregions of HMA from the elevation of 1357 to 6247 m. Glacial lakes were found to be concentrated in the subregions of Altai and Sayan and the eastern Himalaya and at elevation bands of 4500–5400 m. The HMA glacial lakes have experienced widespread expansion with an average rate of increase in area of 15.2 %. Lake area expanded most in the higher-elevation bands during 1990–2018. The data set is expected to provide basic data to support cryosphere hydrology research, water resources utilization and management, and assessment of glacier-related hazards in the HMA region.\nThe supplement related to this article is available online at: https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-2169-2020-supplement.\nXW designed the study and wrote the manuscript. XG, CY, and QL produced data and performed analysis. All other authors discussed and drafted the formulation of the specifications of the glacial lake inventory in this study.

The remaining 1.1 million homes will have them installed within the next five years.\nCivil servant Tan Ian Wern, 30, who earlier this year had an advanced meter installed in his condominium, said the information helped him and his wife manage their electricity use.\n\"Because the data is provided more frequently, we could tell that the majority of our electricity use was due to the air-conditioner,\" said Mr Tan. \"We saw a massive spike in consumption whenever we turned it on.\" Now, he and his wife try not to turn on the air-conditioner for long hours, and make it a point to cool only the smaller spaces, such as the bedroom, instead of the living room.\nAs part of another initiative, the EMA and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) will be studying how customised energy-saving tips can prompt households to use less.\nFrom December this year, about 1,000 households in Jurong, which already have advanced meters, will receive a monthly Customised Household Energy Efficiency Report for six months, which is the duration of the trial.\nThe report aims to help households understand how their daily activities drive electricity use, and provide customised energy savings tips to help them save electricity.\nMr Albert Chua, MEWR permanent secretary, said: \"Through the energy reports, we hope to empower households to make simple, positive changes to their daily routines, such as switching off appliances when not in use.\"\nFinally, utility firm SP Group will be enhancing its SP Utilities mobile app to provide more timely and useful information to help households to be more energy-conscious and efficient.\nHouseholds can also be rewarded with virtual points, such as \"leaves\" - that can eventually be used to redeem shopping vouchers - whenever they undertake certain green activities, such as opting for electronic billing.\nMr Wong Kim Yin, group chief executive of SP Group, said that users will soon also be able to use the Carbon Footprint Tracker in the app to determine their carbon footprint.\nHe said: \"With these tools, everyone can take action and make changes to their lifestyle habits towards a more sustainable future.\"", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Healthy and yummy kid friendly recipe!\nI have yet to meet a kid who doesn’t like chicken nuggets.

ACCAP agreed to provide funding for two CGC student projects. The two projects align with the greater ACCAP mission and foci.\nOne project focused on the subsistence halibut fishery in Southeast Alaska. It assessed long-term trends in subsistence halibut harvest and evaluated the mechanisms driving changes in harvest. The other project investigated the morphology of the Beaufort Sea coastline during the last interglacial period as a potential historical analog for predicted future sea level change.\nProjects began in July of 2015 and continued through the 2015/2016 academic year.\nEvaluating behavioral adaptations of subsistence halibut harvesters to environmental and regulatory changes in Southeast Alaska\nMaggie Chan, PhD Candidate, University of Alaska Fairbanks, School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences\nThis research examines how subsistence harvesters adapt to a combination of environmental and regulatory changes using the case study of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in Southeast Alaska. Halibut populations have experienced recent changes in abundance and distribution, resulting in concerns over availability for local harvesters. Yet, halibut is an integral part of the portfolio of species that harvesters rely on in coastal communities.\nIn addition to biological changes to halibut populations, a regulation in 2003 changed subsistence halibut from following sport guidelines to more liberal subsistence guidelines, resulting in increases in gear choices and harvest limits. Even though guidelines became more liberal, there has been a substantial decrease in participation rates and harvest amounts of subsistence halibut, with little understanding of the mechanisms driving these downward trends. Additionally, there is little long-term information on subsistence catches prior to 2003.\nThis interdisciplinary project uses interviews with harvesters to assess long-term trends in subsistence halibut harvest and evaluate the mechanisms driving changes in harvest. The results of this project will reveal how subsistence harvesters have adapted to changes in environmental availability and regulatory structure, a crucial step in understanding how continued global change will shape Alaska’s coastal communities.\nHow will climate change impact the morphology of the Beaufort Sea coastline?\nLouise Farquharson: PhD student in Quaternary Geology, University of Alaska Fairbanks\nClimate change is having large impacts on Arctic coasts where permafrost-affected shorelines and sea ice-sensitive biota now experience longer ice-free seasons and heightened wave regimes. How the geomorphology and biota of the Beaufort Sea coast will respond to declining sea ice cover and warmer air temperatures is poorly understood.\nHere I propose to use the last interglacial (~ 120 ka), a period when the Arctic Ocean was apparently largely ice free in summer, as an analogue for future conditions. An extensive system of barrier islands and lagoons existed along the Beaufort Sea coast during the last interglacial, and these deposits now lie several meters above sea level.\nI will conduct high-resolution sedimentological analysis at five sites to reconstruct coastal geomorphology and establish a high-resolution chronology based on optically simulated luminescence (OSL) dates. These new dates will for the first time link environmental shifts on the Beaufort Sea coast to global sea level, ice sheet extent, and paleoclimate. Results from this study will help predict coastal changes along the Beaufort Sea coast and assist in the management of both biological and coastal resources.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "AP Pro32 comments about Panthers\nNEW YORK -- Comments on the Carolina Panthers by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):\nCAROLINA PANTHERS (20)\nChris Berman (ESPN, 18) -- Nice December winning streak.\nClifton Brown (Sporting News, 17) -- Cam Newton has come on, which should help Ron Rivera keep job.\nCris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 20)\nRich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 25) -- Genuinely concerned about Cam Newton, he has to grow up in a hurry and do a better job controlling his emotions.\nBob Glauber (Newsday, 18) -- Another strong showing -- the latest in a series of them -- for Cam Newton and his improving teammates.

Conroy to resign his post as chaplain of the House. There is much speculation as to why Ryan asked for Conroy’s resignation but Democrats argue was due in part to a prayer the chaplain gave on the House floor on Nov. 6, while congressmen were debating tax overhaul legislation.\nConroy said, “May all members be mindful that the institutions and structures of our great nation guarantee the opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great success, while others continue to struggle,” he prayed. “May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by all Americans.”\nAlthough Ryan’s office denies this, Conroy believes this was why he was asked to give his resignation. Additionally, Rep. Mark WalkerBradley (Mark) Mark WalkerThese Senate seats are up for election in 2022 The 10 races that will decide the Senate majority North Carolina Democrat Jeff Jackson drops out of Senate race MORE (R-N.C.), one of three representatives looking for Conroy’s replacement, told The Hill that the next spiritual leader should be someone with a family who can better relate and counsel lawmakers with spouses and children.\nWalker’s statement would preclude Catholic nuns and priests who take vows of celibacy. The glaring hypocrisy in these two incidences speaks not to partisan misconduct by a chaplain or defects in Catholic practice, but to a larger struggle undertaken by some to separate the act of practicing one's faith from the social justice inherent in those faiths.\nThe most glaring inconsistency is that the prayer itself reflects everything supporters professed in the tax bill anyway. Conroy says that there should be no winners and losers but benefits balanced and shared by all Americans. This is the exact line of reasoning supporters of the bill used when fighting for its passage. They argued that it would benefit all Americans.\nTo condemn Conroy’s prayer as partisan is to condemn the tax bill, to call it unbalanced, and to claim that all Americans will not share in its rewards. To call this prayer partisan is to shed light on what most of us already know, this tax bill was a giveaway to the richest on behalf of the poorest.\nHowever, there is a larger point at stake, this prayer reflects the tenets of Catholic social teaching and what it means to practice as a Catholic. To care for all creation, to look out for the poor, and to lift up those who are marginalized are all pillars of Catholic faith and all other faiths.\nConroy’s call for balance, fairness, and opportunity for all citizens is a profession of his faith as a Catholic teacher not a partisan strike against a tax bill. To strike against Conroy is in reality a move to strike against social justice teachings within faith traditions.\nSome representatives would like to profess a faith devoid of social implications, where worship entails praying for heaven while acting with impunity on earth. This strike against Conroy is part of a larger struggle within society to re-define faith without its social implications and that means condemning those who call for equality, justice, and evenhandedness in the name of faith, as partisan.\nWalker, in a recent article in the Hill, calls for a non-Catholic to hold the next spiritual position and his statements in support of that draw false assumptions regarding Catholic mentorship in an attempt to delegitimize the importance of Catholic Social Teaching.\n\"I'm looking for somebody who has a little age, that has adult children, that kind of can connect with the bulk of the body here, Republicans and Democrats who are going through, back home the wife, the family ... that has some counseling experience,” he said.\nThe assumption here is that a Catholic priest or nun would be unable to provide this type of counseling because they don’t have families of their own. Never mind the fact that Catholic priests and nuns counsel and provide spiritual guidance to families every day in local congregations all over the world. Every day while leading parishes, Catholic priests provide marriage and family counseling.\nIf representatives are in such great need of family counseling then perhaps the problem is bigger than a spiritual advisor could provide. Perhaps they need to consider seeing a professional therapist. And if it is just a matter of speaking to someone, than a Catholic would be just as capable as any other faith leader.\nFinally, Walker states that he is looking for somebody with more of a non-denominational background, that has a multicultural congregation. Perhaps Walker misspoke but the assumption that a Catholic does not work with a multicultural congregation is patently absurd. Catholic faith is practiced all around the world and to argue for its lack of diversity only betrays a stunning ignorance and a seemingly anti-Catholic bias on Walker’s part.\nDue to his apparent anti-Catholic bias the Republican Party should remove Walker from the selection committee. Catholics across the nation are owed an apology from Walker and from the Republican Party. There is no place in politics for such anti-Catholic remarks.\nHowever, I believe the point of these moves is not to increase diversity or find a spiritual advisor who can relate to family concerns but to strike at and delegitimize any tenets of social justice within the faith traditions so that those who continue to lead immorally can do so comfortably knowing that their place in heaven is still secure.\nPatrick Carolan is a Catholic activist, the executive director of the Franciscan Action Network.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Choose the situation below that would result in an exothermic ΔH solution.\nA) When |ΔHlattice| is close to |ΔH hydration|\nB) When |ΔHsolvent | >> |ΔHsolute|\nC) When |ΔHlattice| < |ΔH hydration|\nD) When |ΔHlattice| > |ΔH hydration|\nE) There isnʹt enough information to determine\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat scientific concept do you need to know in order to solve this problem?\nOur tutors have indicated that to solve this problem you will need to apply the Lattice Energy concept.

On Saturday, the last day of the technical phase of negotiations, discussions on climate finance came to a standstill, with countries “not being able to reach consensus” on various aspects.\nAn analysis of the draft negotiation texts, released by the ad hoc working group on the Paris Agreement (APA) on Saturday, reflects a disagreement on both article 9.5 and 9.7 of the agreement. While article 9.5 makes it mandatory for developed countries to biennially communicate finances it will shell out to assist developing countries like India, the latter focuses on subsequent accounting of the finance provided to developing countries.\nThe draft text on 9.7 indicates that the developed countries are expecting the developing nations to do the same, which do not seem to agree. “Instead of agreeing to submit information on how much money will provide, the developed world is demanding developing countries to put money on the table. Developed countries are also blocking progress on how to transparently count the money they are obligated to give,” says Harjeet Singh, global lead on climate change at ActionAid International.\nThe draft reveals a dissent on developing world’s demand on reporting ‘the grant equivalent value’ which refers to the exact amount of money stays in a country for climate action. There have been instances when some donor countries “double-counted” the value of a development project which frustrated India and other 134 developing nations which constitute the G77 negotiating group.\nWhat the developing countries want from COP24 is the reassurance that they will receive the money developed countries committed to provide, in order to implement the Paris Agreement at home.\nSays Eddy Perez, international policy analyst at Climate Action Network, Canada, “ More grants are needed in developing countries. In the case of loans, the recipients want to know the exact information on what part of the loan is grant equivalent. This information is crucial for them to design their nationally determined contributions.”\nTaking the old stance of the United Nations, the developed nations are denying to acknowledge ‘loss and damage’ as a stand-alone pillar of climate action. In every draft text of the negotiations, the developed world has refused to broach the subject.\nThe fifth assessment report of the United Nations intergovernmental panel on climate change’s (IPCC) warns of more climate-related catastrophe, like deadly heatwaves for India and Pakistan. Four months ago, Kerala witnessed heavy floods which killed over 400 people.\nAt such times, having an indicative financial support from rich nations for loss and damage becomes imperative. Adds Singh, “Helping the victims of climate change is the need of the hour but once again, the issue continues to be pushed back.”\nPhoto: Kiara Worth, ENB[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]", "label": "No"} +{"text": "by Will Carruthers, Sonoma County Gazette\nSanta Rosa will be one of nine California cities to see the silver lining of a car company’s foiled effort to skirt environmental regulations.\nElectrify America announced this week that Santa Rosa was picked as the beneficiaries the company’s latest round of investments in electric vehicle charging stations and education initiatives.\nEA is the result of Volkswagen’s foiled attempt to fool environmental regulators by programming their cars to operate more efficiently during regulatory tests.\n- Expansion of fossil-fuel vehicle phase-outs moves world one step closer to a climate-safe future - April 22, 2020\n- Germany goes greener with $95 billion push for train over plane - January 14, 2020\n- EU sets out trillion euro plan to avert ‘climate crash’ - January 13, 2020", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Cleanser: It contains ingredient of Vitamin C, which can clean impurities for the skin deeply.

It has a tonic effect on the vessels of the brain.\nDrotaverine - has myotropic antispasmodic effect due to inhibition of phosphodiesterase IV, acts on smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, urinary and vascular systems.\nPheniramine is a blocker of H1-histamine receptors. It has antispasmodic and mild sedative effect, reduces the phenomenon of exudation, and also enhances the analgesic effect of paracetamol and naproxen.\nIndications and usage\n- Pain syndrome of various genesis, including pain in the joints, muscles, radiculitis, menstrual pain, neuralgia, toothache and headache (including headache caused by spasm of cerebral vessels).\n- Pain syndrome associated with spasm of smooth muscles, including chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, postcholecystectomy syndrome, renal colic.\n- Post-traumatic and postoperative pain, including accompanied by inflammation.\n- Catarrhal diseases with febrile syndrome (as a symptomatic therapy)\nHypersensitivity to the components of the drug, erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (in the acute phase), Gastrointestinal bleeding, complete or incomplete combination of bronchial asthma, recurrent nasal polyposis and paranasal sinuses and intolerance to Acetylsalicylic acid or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs history, severe hepatic and / or renal failure, inhibition of bone marrow hematopoiesis, condition after aorto-coronary shuntyro Ania; severe organic diseases of the cardiovascular system (including acute myocardial infarction), paroxysmal tachycardia, frequent ventricular extrasystole, severe arterial hypertension, hyperkalemia, children under 18 years of age, pregnancy and lactation.\nCarefully: cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, peripheral arterial diseases, history of gastrointestinal ulcers, mild to moderate renal and hepatic insufficiency, viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver damage, benign hyperbilirubinemia (Gilbert, Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndrome) epilepsy and susceptibility to convulsive seizures, deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, old age.\nPregnancy and Breastfeeding\nThe drug is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).\nDosage and administration\nPentalgin taken orally 1 pill 1-3 times a day. The maximum daily dose is 4 tablets.\nThe duration of treatment is not more than 3 days as an antipyretic and not more than 5 days as an anesthetic. Continuation of drug treatment is possible only after consulting a doctor.\nAllergic reactions:skin rash, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema;\nFrom the side of blood-forming organs: thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia, methemoglobinemia;\nNervous system: excitement, anxiety, increased reflexes, tremor, headache, sleep disturbances, dizziness, decreased concentration;\nSince the cardiovascular system: heartbeat, arrhythmias, high blood pressure;\nGastrointestinal: erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, abdominal pain, constipation, abnormal liver function;\nUrogenital: impaired renal function;\nSpecial senses: hearing loss, tinnitus, increased intraocular pressure in patients with angle-closure glaucoma;\nOther: dermatitis, tachypnea (increased breathing).\nIn some cases, the concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions may decrease, therefore, during the period of treatment, the patient must be careful when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and psychomotor speed.\nIt is necessary to avoid the simultaneous use of the drug Pentalgin with other agents containing paracetamol and / or NSAIDs, as well as with means to alleviate the symptoms of cold, flu and nasal congestion.\nWhen using the drug Pentalgin for more than 5–7 days, it is necessary to monitor the indicators of peripheral blood and the functional state of the liver. Paracetamol distorts the results of laboratory studies of glucose and uric acid in plasma. If it is necessary to determine the 17-ketosteroids, Pentalgin should be discontinued 48 hours before the study. Note that naproxen increases bleeding time.\nThe effect of caffeine on the central nervous system depends on the type of nervous system and can manifest itself as excitation and inhibition of higher nervous activity. During the treatment period, the patient should avoid drinking alcohol.\nWith the simultaneous use of drugs that have a depressant effect on the central nervous system (including sedatives and tranquilizers), the intensity of the sedative effect and the inhibitory effect on the respiratory center are likely to increase. Enhances the effect of ethanol on the psychomotor response.\nMetamizole reduces the concentration of cyclosporine. Metamizole sodium, displacing oral hypoglycemic drugs, indirect anticoagulants, glucocorticosteroids and Indomethacin from the connection with the protein, increases their activity.\nTricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives, Allopurinol violate the metabolism of metamizole in the liver and increase its toxicity.\nThe simultaneous use of the drug with other non-narcotic analgesics can lead to increased toxic effects.\nBarbiturates, phenylbutazone and other inducers of microsomal liver enzymes weaken the effect of metamizol.\nSymptoms: pallor, anorexia (lack of appetite), abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, agitation, restlessness, confusion, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hyperthermia (fever), frequent urination, headache, tremor or muscle twitching; epileptic seizures, increased activity of hepatic transaminases, hepatonecrosis, an increase in prothrombin time.

This project integrates and augments existing observational, modeling, data management and education assets in the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) domain to provide lasting benefits to the aforementioned elements, but also to the people, communities, and natural resources that make the SE unique.\nSpecific benefits include:\n- protection of people and communities through quantitative improvements in the forecast of potentially destructive winds, waves, and storm surges;\n- improved coastal and marine use decision-making through enhanced and more comprehensive characterization of the coastal and marine environment;\n- improvements to public safety through more timely and site-specific health advisories, storm surge, and rip current warnings;\n- safer and more efficient marine operations and emergency response through enhanced coastal and marine situational awareness; and\n- positive economic impact through facilitation of more informed decision-making regarding commercial and recreational fisheries, and shoreline and climate change impacts.\nThis effort provides positive impacts for a broad range of constituencies, including federal, regional, state, and local interests.\nSpecific beneficiaries include:\n- Federal: NOAA (National Weather Service, National Estuarine Research Reserves, National Marine Fisheries Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), and National Marine Sanctuaries), US Geological Survey, US Environmental Protection Agency, US Marine Corps, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Coast Guard.\n- State: NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, SC Department of Health and Environmental Control, GA Department of Natural Resources, FL Department of Environment.\n- Science and Education interests: universities, state Sea Grant programs, Centers for Ocean Science Education Excellence SE, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Grays Reef NMS and other Regional Association education programs.\n- Fisheries: South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council, GA DNR, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Grays Reef NMS.\n- Water management districts and utilities: St. Johns River Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water Management District, Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida Public Service Commission.\n- Emergency managers at Federal, state and local levels: NOAA OR&R, NOAA NWS Weather Forecast Offices, county emergency managers.\nThe recent Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill brought intense focus on the connectivity of the SE region to the Gulf of Mexico, and demonstrated the urgent need for understanding, monitoring, and prediction of physical and biological processes across an extensive geography over various spatial (regional, sub-regional, and estuarine) and temporal (decadal, annual, and seasonal) scales. Many of the capabilities that are targeted for support in this proposal provided vital information to DWH Unified Command and were fundamental enablers of many protection and mitigation activities conducted in the wake of the disaster. Implementation of this project will help improve our nation’s preparedness for future coastal and ocean-related risks and/or catastrophic events. The use of a Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System in the service of societal goals requires an optimal combination of observational, modeling, data management, and education and outreach assets to enable characterization, prediction, and assessment of the marine environment as well as the formulation of scientifically founded, economically beneficial, and environmentally sensitive responses.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "119 Harbord Street\nOnce in a (very long) while we're able to get away and venture into the big city of Toronto to sample the latest culinary trends. Sadly, it seems that the era of fine dining in Toronto is coming to a close with many high end establishments falling victim to the shrinking expense accounts (and employment, for that matter) of bankers and financiers. So far, we in Kitchener-Waterloo seem to be holding up fairly well, and as long as people keep buying Blackberries it seems this town will do okay.\nRising from ashes are a number of new restaurants that focus on a somewhat lower price point, but still emphasize high quality ingredients, good service, and sophisticated flavours and cooking techniques. We visited one such place a few weeks ago, Loire Casual Gourmet. Rated one of the top new restaurants of 2008 by Toronto Life, we figured it was worth a visit and would be much more affordable than the remaining high end spots.\nThe restaurant is tucked in a quiet corner away from the shadows of the banking towers, along a street brimming with good restaurants. It has a very neighbourhoody feel to it, and we immediately felt at home as Sylvain (sommelier and owner) led us to our table. Being there for a late afternoon weekday lunch, the place was very quiet but the phone was ringing off the hook for dinner reservations, so there certainly seems to be a buzz about the place.\nFor my main, I had the braised pulled-pork sandwich ($14). It was served on multigrain bread with carmelized apples. On the side was a chipolte mayo and home fries. The pork was very tender and moist, especially when combined with the juicy apples. The fries were very finely cut, and mostly crisp, but some where a little soggy. The mayo was nice but wasn't very heavy on the chipolte, and enough was provided that you could easily put on some weight if you finished it all. The execution was very good, but the plate lacked a little green - both visually and for taste balance.\nWe shared two desserts - one was the pecan tart with honey-thyme roasted pear puree and butterscotch gelato ($9) and the other a lemongrass-ginger crème brûlée with a mini coconut cake ($9). The tart was very sweet and probably would have gone better with a less sweet gelato. I felt the need to drink something between every bite, but perhaps I'm just getting old and can't hold my sugar like I used to be able to. The crème brûlée was also very strongly flavoured but nice, and the coconut cake was perfectly toasted and full of intense coconut flavour.\nService was friendly and prompt, although with only 3-4 four tables it was not especially difficult for Sylvain to service all the tables by himself.\nI would have to agree with Toronto Life that this place has great potential. While the dishes are not at the extreme high end of cuisine, it is certainly a restaurant that is suitable for the current times. A more down to earth, friendly dinner spot with good quality, well executed bistro fair. Contrast this with Splendido -- which we coincidentally visited recently as well -- just a couple of blocks down the road. This was a place for the pre-bailout era and as a result, it is undergoing a reinvention of itself to compete with with more affordable places.

But their help in offsetting global warming has come at a price: the oceans are growing more acidic as they absorb our excess CO2. To what extent ocean acidification may harm marine life and ecosystems is still unclear, but already signs of stress have appeared in corals, mollusks and other shell-builders living in regions with naturally more acidic water. Since the industrial era began, average surface seawater pH in temperate oceans has fallen from 8.2 to 8.1 by 0.1 pH unit, equal to a 30 percent increase in acid concentration. (A lower pH indicates more acidic conditions.)\nThe maps reveal that the northern Indian Ocean is at least 10 percent more acidic than the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which could be due to its unique geography. Cut off from the Arctic Ocean, the chemistry of the northern Indian Ocean is influenced by rivers draining the massive Eurasian continent as well as seasonal monsoon rains.\nBy analyzing long-term data collected off Iceland, Bermuda, the Canary Islands, Hawaii and the Drake Passage, off the southern tip of South America, Takahashi finds that waters as far north as Iceland and as far south as Antarctica are acidifying at the rate of 5 percent per decade. His estimate corresponds to the amount of CO22\nOcean acidification is already having an impact, especially in places where the seasonal upwelling of deep water has made seawater naturally more acidic. In a recent study by researchers at NOAA, more than half of the pteropods sampled off the coast of Washington, Oregon and California showed badly dissolved shells. Ocean acidification has been linked to fish losing their ability to sniff out predators, and the die-off of baby oysters in hatcheries off Washington and Oregon, where more acidic deep water comes to the surface each spring and summer.\nBy 2100, ocean acidification could cost the global economy $3 trillion a year in lost revenue from fishing, tourism and intangible ecosystem services, according to arecent United Nations report. The U.S. Government Accountability Office, the watchdog arm of Congress, has reached similar findings and recommended that President Obama create a research and monitoring program dedicated to ocean acidification.\nOther authors of the study: Stuart Sutherland, David Chipman (now retired), John Goddard and Cheng Ho, all of Lamont-Doherty; and Timothy Newberger, Colm Sweeney and David Munro, all of University of Colorado, Boulder.\nMarine Chemistry reports the highlights of this research as:\npH in the global ocean surface waters ranges from 7.9 to 8.2 in the year 2005.\nClimatological mean monthly distributions of pH in the total H+ scale, total CO2 concentration (TCO2), and the degree of CaCO3 saturation for the global surface ocean waters (excluding coastal areas) are calculated using a data set for pCO2, alkalinity and nutrient concentrations in surface waters (depths < 50 m), which is built upon the GLODAP, CARINA and LDEO databases. The mutual consistency among these measured parameters is demonstrated using the inorganic carbon chemistry model with the dissociation constants for carbonic acid by Lueker et al. (2000) and for boric acid by Dickson (1990). Linear potential alkalinity-salinity relationships are established for 24 regions of the global ocean. The mean monthly distributions of pH and carbon chemistry parameters for the reference year 2005 are computed using the climatological mean monthly pCO22 concentrations. In the western Arctic Ocean, aragonite undersaturation is observed. The time-series data from the Bermuda (BATS), Hawaii (HOT), Canary (ESTOC) and the Drake Passage show that pH has been declining at a mean rate of about -0.02 pH per decade, and that pCO2 has been increasing at about 19 μatm per decade tracking the atmospheric pCO2 increase rate. This suggests that the ocean acidification is caused primarily by the uptake of atmospheric CO2. The relative importance of the four environmental drivers (temperature, salinity, alkalinity and total CO2 concentration) controlling the seasonal variability of carbonate chemistry at these sites is quantitatively assessed. The ocean carbon chemistry is governed sensitively by the TA/TCO2 ratio, and the rate of change in TA is equally important for the future ocean environment as is the TCO2 in ocean waters increases in the future.\nRead the abstract and get the paper here.\nNews release from Columbia university here.\nSite by Accentika", "label": "No"} +{"text": "An international 3-day meeting in which participants discussed geodynamic and multidisciplinary topics related to the evolution of the Scotia Arc was held at the Andalucía Institute of Earth Sciences (Spanish Research Council (CSIC)/University of Granada (UGR)) in Granada, Spain.

However, climate change is an existential threat, that is and will continue to disproportionately affect the poorest and most vulnerable people and places the most, impacting negatively those least responsible for the climate crisis. Further, securing universal access to modern energy services and transitioning energy systems away from fossil fuels is central to solving both the climate change crisis and the global poverty crisis.\nA goal on energy access for people in poverty and many other goals on poverty eradication will only be effective in the long run if it addresses also the causes of climate change and all its impacts. It is essential to start finding concrete ways to integrate climate protection and human development needs in a holistic development framework.\nA group of environment and development organizations convened by CAFOD and WWF UK with the support of Beyond 2015 and CAN-International put together a set of concrete recommendations on how to meaningfully address energy access and climate change across the post-2015 framework.

There is increasing evidence that bone marrow-derived stem cells may be a source of endothelial cells and organ-specific cells. Our objectives were to determine whether bone marrow-derived cells were a source of endothelial cells and neurons after cerebral ischemia.\nMethods:We transplanted bone marrow from male C57 BL/6-TgN (ACTbEGFP)1Osb mice, which express green fluorescent protein (GFP), into female C57 BL/6J mice. The recipient mice then underwent suture occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), and bone marrow- derived cells were tracked by GFP epifluorescence and Y chromosome probe.\nResults:Within 3 days and at 7 and 14 days after MCA occlusion, bone marrow-derived cells incorporated into the vasculature in the ischemic zone and expressed an endothelial cell phenotype. Few bone marrow-derived cells incorporated into the vasculature 24 hours after MCA occlusion. Some bone marrow-derived cells also expressed the neuronal marker NeuN at 7 and 14 days after ischemia.\nConclusions:Postnatal vasculogenesis occurs in the brain in the setting of a cerebral infarction. Bone marrow-derived cells are a source of endothelial cells and NeuN-expressing cells after cerebral infarction. This plasticity may be exploited in the future to enhance recovery after stroke.\nReferred From: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11988616\nAuthor(s): Hung CW, Liou YJ, Lu SW, Tseng LM, Kao CL, et al.\nAuthor(s): Leker RR, McKay RD\nAuthor(s): Nakaguchi K, Masuda H, Kaneko N, Sawamoto K\nAuthor(s): Kaneko Y, Tajiri N, Shinozuka K, Glover LE, Weinbren NL, et al.\nAuthor(s): Uemura M, Kasahara Y, Nagatsuka K, Taguchi A\nAuthor(s): Gage FH\nAuthor(s): Doetsch F, Caillé I, Lim DA, García-Verdugo JM, Alvarez-Buylla A\nAuthor(s): Iwai M, Sato K, Omori N, Nagano I, Manabe Y, et al.\nAuthor(s): Iwai M, Sato K, Kamada H, Omori N, Nagano I, et al.\nAuthor(s): Arvidsson A, Collin T, Kirik D, Kokaia Z, Lindvall O\nAuthor(s): Teramoto T, Qiu J, Plumier JC, Moskowitz MA\nAuthor(s): Gensert JM, Goldman JE\nAuthor(s): Menn B, Garcia-Verdugo JM, Yaschine C, Gonzalez-Perez O, Rowitch D, et al.\nAuthor(s): Ninomiya M, Yamashita T, Araki N, Okano H, Sawamoto K\nAuthor(s): Türeyen K, Vemuganti R, Bowen KK, Sailor KA, Dempsey RJ\nAuthor(s): Emsley JG, Hagg T\nAuthor(s): Yan YP, Sailor KA, Vemuganti R, Dempsey RJ\nAuthor(s): Zhu W, Cheng S, Xu G, Ma M, Zhou Z, et al.\nAuthor(s): Kako E, Kaneko N, Aoyama M, Hida H, Takebayashi H, et al.\nAuthor(s): Zhang ZG, Zhang L, Jiang Q, Zhang R, Davies K, et al.\nAuthor(s): Paczkowska E, Kucia M, Koziarska D, Halasa M, Safranow K, et al.\nAuthor(s): Beltrami AP, Barlucchi L, Torella D, Baker M, Limana F, et al.\nAuthor(s): Asahara T, Takahashi T, Masuda H, Kalka C, Chen D, et al.\nAuthor(s): Kalka C, Masuda H, Takahashi T, Gordon R, Tepper O, et al.\nAuthor(s): Sehara Y, Hayashi T, Deguchi K, Zhang H, Tsuchiya A, et al.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Promotion of Investment for the Generation of Electricity from Renewable Energies, Legislative Decree No. 1002\nRenewable energy sources will have priority distribution on the energy grid and are defined as: biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, and hydropower when potential yield does not surpass 20 MW.\nThe Decree sets out a number of ways in which the government will promote technological investigation and capacity, including the development of a National Plan for the Promotion of Renewal Energies and through co-ordination between regional governments, universities and technical schools, and the National Board of Science, Technology and Technological Innovation.\nLastly, the Legislative Decree modifies existing laws and decrees that regulate energy use in order to further prioritise the consumption of renewable energy.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "The High Level Group of the Commission's new Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) has published its first opinion. It focuses on enhancing the measurement of CO2 emissions from cars.\nThe independent group of eminent scientists welcome the introduction of the new emissions testing procedure as from 2017 that is expected to provide more representative CO2 emission measurements. They recommend a regular review of this procedure, complemented by a framework for the monitoring of real driving CO2 emissions including a formal reporting of the fuel consumption of passenger cars. The scientific opinion also calls for enhanced coordination and regulatory oversight across the EU, based on legislation that is designed to stimulate innovation and low carbon technologies.\nCarlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, said: \"We set up the Group of High-level Scientific Advisers only last year to support policy making with high-quality, independent scientific advice, in line with the Better Regulation Agenda to improve the quality of EU legislation. This is exactly what they have done with this first report. We need to reduce CO2 emissions of cars and vans if we are to achieve climate and sustainability goals, and now we have additional scientific evidence base to mould future climate policies in this area.\"\nMiguel Arias Cañete, Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy, said: \"Curbing CO2 emissions and more representative measurements will support European and global efforts to decarbonise transport in view of international commitments to combat climate change. An important step has been the adoption of a new emissions testing procedure. This first opinion of the SAM High-level Group will undoubtedly constitute a key reference for our work on post-2020 emission performance standards for cars and vans in the EU.\"\nThe scientific opinion, drafted in response to a request by Commissioner Arias Cañete, draws upon a comprehensive review of scientific literature, a wide-ranging consultations with the most relevant scientific experts and policy, industry and civil society stakeholders and a visit to the Vehicle Emissions Laboratory of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre..\nThe Group is currently also working on an opinion on cybersecurity, which is expected to be published in early 2017, and has published recently an explanatory note on glyphosate.\nThe Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) was set up by a Commission Decision on 16 October 2015. Its High Level Group of Scientific Advisors comprises seven independent eminent scientists, appointed in their personal capacity. The Group draws on a wide range of scientific expertise, inter alia through a close relationship with European and national academies, to advise the Members of the European Commission on issues of public interest.\nThe SAM contributes to the quality of EU legislation and complements the existing science advisory structures of the Commission, which include inter alia the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Agencies as well as specialised expert groups.\nOn the SAM High Level Group's first scientific opinion:\nThe European Commission has played a key role in global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions from road transport for many years now. Through its science and knowledge service, it was instrumental in the development of the World-wide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a new, more realistic, test procedure for measuring CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from cars and vans. In the EU, WLTP will gradually replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test procedure, which no longer reflects today's driving conditions or vehicle technologies, in vehicle approvals from 2017.\nIn its first opinion, the SAM High Level Group recommends reviewing the WLTP test cycle every five years to ensure that the gap between laboratory and average real-world emissions does not grow again. The High Level Group recommends complementing the WLTP test cycle with a framework for the monitoring of real driving CO2 emissions. This should consist of an assessment as to whether CO2 emissions data obtained from the real driving emissions testing for pollutants using Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) can be used to monitor the gap, the development of a Real Driving Emissions scheme for CO2, and the introduction of a formal reporting of the fuel consumption of passenger cars, taking advantage of on-board vehicle diagnostic systems.\n- Scientific Opinion: \"Closing the gap between light-duty vehicle real-world CO2 emissions and laboratory testing\"\n- FAQs on car type approval and emissions\n- European Commission's Better Regulation Agenda\n- Background documentation\n- Road transport: Reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles\n- Publication date\n- 25 November 2016\n- Directorate-General for Climate Action", "label": "No"} +{"text": "On July 7, 2000, at 1500 mountain daylight time, a Bell 206L-3, N38903, operated by Papillion Airways, Inc., sustained substantial damage during a forced landing approximately 6 miles west of Logan, Utah. The commercial pilot and his passenger were not injured. The flight was a local area maintenance test flight operating under Title 14 CFR Part 91 and no flight plan was filed. Visual meteorological conditions were present. Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page\nA torque gauge had been changed and the pilot was conducting a test flight. Shortly after takeoff, persons on the ground noticed the left passenger door appeared to be open. The pilot was informed and was making a precautionary approach to landing to close the door when he heard and felt a bang followed by a slight vibration and rattling which subsided. When the nose of the helicopter started to drift right, the pilot said he attempted to correct it with pedal and found the pedals unresponsive and loose. He performed an autorotation with the engine power set at idle. During the flare for landing, the helicopter turned rapidly to the right and upon touchdown rolled on its left side. The pilot secured the engine and he and the passenger exited the helicopter.\nDuring the impact sequence, the helicopter shed the main rotor head and blades, which were both damaged by impact, and the tail boom was partially separated by main rotor impact about 3 feet aft of the horizontal stabilizer. The tail rotor drive shaft was intact through the boom separation area but the number 4 section was fractured and the number 5 section bent. They remained attached.\nWhen the flight originated, there were several items lying on the passenger seats. One of the items was a jacket with some red and black lettering stenciled on the back. This item was not found following the accident.\nExamination of the tail rotor drive shaft sections revealed a torsional fracture of the number 4 drive shaft 11.2 inches from the engine end as mounted on the aircraft. Wall thickness of the 1.26-inch diameter drive shafts was 0.0498-inch, which was within the range spelled out in the American National Standard Dimensional Tolerance for Aluminum Mill Products. Hardness of the 2024-T3 aluminum drive shaft tubes was 98 HRB, which met the 66 HRB minimums per BPS 4467 for typical 2024-T3 aluminum. Spectrographic analysis of the drive shaft tubes showed conformation to WWW-T-700/3 per the engineering drawing (reference SJL00-0361).\nExamination of tail rotor blade S/N CS 6266 revealed a red paint spot on the blade tip inboard side. The painted section of the blade was removed and sent to the Bell chemical laboratory for analysis. Paint transfer on the blade was analyzed and compared to the paint on a jacket like the one missing from the passenger seat. The analysis revealed that the paints were not chemically similar.\nExamination of tail rotor blade S/N CS 5999 reveled red paint transfer on the inboard and outboard sides of the blade's leading edge 5 inches from the blade tip. Analysis provided evidence that the paint was not chemically similar to that on the jacket. This blade also exhibited a dent on the outboard side of the blade 4.8 inches from the blade tip. In addition, this blade was bent 8.5 inches from the blade butt.\nNeither tail rotor blade exhibited damage consistent with rotation at impact.\nThe helicopter color was white, yellow, red, maroon, and blue.

But her dad does discover it, and responds by making a video for the daughter and her friends (and eventually all the world) to see.\n“Are you kidding me?” the dad says in the video. He reads her message and responds to it point-by-point, adding his own comments about her lack of gratitude and respect. He tells her, “You’ve got it easy, but it’s about to get a whole lot harder.” She’s lost all privileges until college, etc.\nThen he finishes by destroying her laptop with nine rounds from his .45 pistol.\nPlease be warned … the video contains profanity.\nPeople have had strong reactions to this dad’s approach to “tough love.” Some say the daughter’s message warranted that kind of response; good for him for holding her accountable and teaching her a memorable lesson about real-world consequences. I heard one man say with a chuckle, “I would have used a 12-gauge.”\nAnd others, while admitting that kids today need to hear those points, are appalled by the dad’s actions. He went too far; he’s being a bully and doing permanent damage to the relationship.\nWe all have our opinions, and although we’ll never know the whole story of the relationship, this dad may be burning bridges with his daughter at a key point in her life.\nMore importantly, dad, this video should quickly turn your thoughts to your own fathering. How do you handle it when your child shows disrespect or loses her mind in some way? How can you be a good dad even during those “Are you kidding me?” moments with your children? Haven’t we all said and done some things in the heat of a battle with a child that we later regretted?\nLet’s keep these four thoughts in mind:\n1. Keep practicing the basics. For me, it always comes back to the fundamentals, because they are grounded in solid research. In just about any situation, we can ask ourselves, Am I showing love to my child—truly doing what’s best for him? How does this challenge provide opportunities for me to teach my child and help prepare her for life? And am I being a consistent model—conducting myself in a way that I would want my child to emulate?\n2. Especially when it seems like your kid is out of control, focus on self-control. If you try to exert strict control over your teenager, the chances are good that you’ll drive him away or turn him into an enemy. Instead, realize that your child will occasionally put you on some emotional roller-coasters. Expect that, and don’t go ballistic on him. Demonstrate self-control; be a calm father.\n3. Keep a long-range perspective. Remember the end goal of your fathering: a responsible, well-adjusted adult. Ask yourself, What do I want my child to remember about this day—and my behavior—five or ten years from now? That perspective may help you relate to your children with an extra measure of patience, calmness, and acceptance.\n4. Be ready to say, “Sorry.” We all overreact sometimes. A genuine apology should be a natural and quick response. Be an agent of healing. Recognize when you’ve hurt your child and take the initiative to go to her and say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Will you forgive me?” (Practice those words out loud, so they’re easier to say when you need to.)\nHere are more Action Points you can use:\n- Revisit your household rules for Internet use, email, social media, YouTube, etc., and discuss those as a family. Remember: “There’s no place like home.” Agree with your children to never take complaints public—online or otherwise.\n- If your kids are older, watch the video with them. Ask for their thoughts about the daughter’s comments and her dad’s response.\n- Identify an area of life where your child needs some instruction or greater maturity—responsibility, a work ethic, money management, etc. Come up with a plan to invest yourself in building up your child in that area. Beware of any storms brewing. Commit to lines of communication now that will head off the storm. Restate your expectations and show mercy as much as possible. These are kids.\n- Ask your wife to help you identify when your tone of voice becomes harsh when you’re talking to your children—and what effect it has on them.\n- Count to ten! Give yourself time to think through the most positive, reasonable response. Understand your own temperament. Even words can create lasting impressions—and wounds. Write out your thoughts; record your videos … and then sit on them. Maybe get feedback from another dad. Think carefully about the long-term impact of your actions.\nMany of you dads out there also have great experiences and wisdom on this.

Due to the urgency of addressing these issues, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) stepped up and initiated the Transformative Riverine Management Program (TRMP). The main aim of this program is to rehabilitate and manage riverine corridors sustainably. The emphasis is on climate adaptation and resilience, as shown by their innovative approach to riverine governance. The project empowers the local community by generating employment, training, and skill development and creating opportunities for marginalized communities.\nThe TRMP program was rolled out in Endumeni, KwaDukuza, and Ugu District municipalities between 2022 and 2023, employing an estimated 1,186 local workers. The program aided in reducing 109 tonnes of waste, and 98 hectares were freed of invasive alien flora species. The program highlighted the importance of education, awareness, and training in building a climate-adaptive river and implementing sound environmental management. The program has also established localized recycling centres to avoid waste being used as landfills and enhance environmental conservation. The TRMP program focuses on the most vulnerable river catchments and regions at risk of natural disasters. TRMP was implemented by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) in partnership with Regions4- a global NGO that is promoting resilience building and sustainable practices among regions across the world in a bid to put people and nature at heart climate change adaptation.\nOrganizations, such as government agencies, private businesses, or NGOs that are actively involved in mitigating climate change.\n- KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) – Nhlakanipho Nkotwana, Head of Department, Nkontwana@kznedtea.gov.za\n- Regions4 – email@example.com\nThis Post was submitted by Climate Scorecard South Africa Country Manager Rugare Zhou.\nLearn More References\nNational Environmental Management: Air Quality Act: Methodological Guidelines of Quantification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

With so many SBI BANK branches and varied needs, a click of the button is good enough to perform a transfer around Mumbai, Maharashtra. IFSC Codes have been a part of the SBI BANK way of working for a long time now, and they have definitely been of help in case of a financial transaction.\nA lot goes into making an experience wonderful for you at SBI BANK, especially the one that concerns a financial transaction in Pbb Lokhandwala, Mumbai. A transfer to the wrong beneficiary is an act that you wouldn’t want to do, and that is why it is important that you check the SBI BANK account number as many times as necessary, to ensure that the right beneficiary gets your money. IFSC Codes for SBI BANK are designed in a way to make sure that your bank is traceable. If the SBI BANK bank account details will not be in sync, the SBI BANK servers will not be able to locate the Pbb Lokhandwala branch in Mumbai, Maharashtra.\nThis in turn is a signal that things aren’t happening in the right manner, while a validated SBI BANK IFSC code, will confirm that your beneficiary has a valid SBI BANK branch and the transaction can be done. Let’s take one example:\nThere are various branches of SBI BANK in the country, but let’s take into count their Pbb Lokhandwala branch. The branch details are appended below:\n|Address||CST 619 B BY 1 RAHEJA CLASSIQUE 1OSHIWARA LINK ROAD ANDHERI W MUMBAI MAHARASHTRA PIN 400058|\nThe details above validate that the SBI BANK has its operations in the Mumbai, Maharashtra branch located at the CST 619 B BY 1 RAHEJA CLASSIQUE 1OSHIWARA LINK ROAD ANDHERI W MUMBAI MAHARASHTRA PIN 400058. This confirms that if you plan on doing a financial transfer, you must be sure of the SBI BANK IFSC code to ensure that the transfer happens without any hassles.\nWhile all of us understand IFSC codes by now, let’s understand MICR code as well. This is termed as Magnetic Ink Character Recognition which is a character recognition technology that helps in processing cheques faster. SBI BANK bank branch has a unique MICR code which helps RBI identify the SBI BANK branch, and speed up the cheque clearing process.\nWhile SBI BANK IFSC is an 11 digit code, MICR is a 9 digit code, and the basic difference between these two codes is that IFSC code is used for SBI BANK online transactions, while MICR is used for SBI BANK offline transactions, like Cheque.\nThese two aspects are of great importance for SBI BANK financial transaction in both SBI BANK online transactions and SBI BANK offline transactions, and you can choose the one that works well for you.\n29 July 2017:With rumours of the scrapping of Rs.2000 note doing the rounds the Minister of State for Finance Santosh Kumar Gangwar has made it clear that there is nothing of that sort which is about to happen. However Rs.200 note will be soon brought into circulation. According to media reports the further printing of Rs.2000 notes has been stopped. Industry experts claim that the ministry has decided to limit the circulation of higher denomination Rs.2000 note however it would remain a legal tender but the soon to be introduced Rs.200 note would be used on a larger scale as compared to the former Rs.2000 note. The new Rs200 note would be introduced in the month of August as said by a top government official.

With the help of these cards, customers can do transactions online on e-commerce websites immediately on receipt of the InstaCard. The physical cards are delivered to the customers within a few days.

They are providing this service across an urban, semi-urban and rural area in around 130 branches.\n6 July 2017:Hasmukh Adhia, the architect of GST rollout and also the Revenue Secretary took to twitter to get rid of the myths pertaining to the new tax regime and also the belief that a person will be paying GST twice if he/she will be using the credit card to make payments.The Revenue Secretary has clarified the said belief to be completely fake and also made a request to the public to avoid circulating such unrealistic messages without confirming its authenticity. GST has been brought into practice since 1st of July 2017 and has absorbed a number central and state taxes including excise and sales tax. Even in the pre GST period the service tax was not levied on payments made by credit cards, in fact a discount was given by the utility providers if credit cards were used for the payments. Under the GST regime the 15% bracket was increased to 18% for the banking and financial services as for home, auto and personal loan EMIs will not rise. One time costs such as prepayment ,foreclosure charges along with loans taken from credit cards will rise nominally. If the payment is made on time using the credit card then there will be no service tax charged but if the payment is made on a later date then penalty will be charged by the bank which will attract 18% tax under GST and will also increase the overall credit card dues.\n25 August 2017:Public lender Bank of India has reduced interest rate on savings bank accounts by 50 basis points to 3.5 per cent on deposits of up to Rs 50 lakh. \"The bank is introducing two tier saving bank rate with effect from today,\" Bank of India said in a regulatory filing today.

On July 31, SBI slashed interest rate on savings account deposits by 50 basis points to 3.5 per cent on balance of Rs 1 crore and below. Other lenders, including private ones such as HDFC bank and Axis bank, have followed suit. Earlier this month, Axis Bank had reduced interest rate on savings bank accounts by 50 basis points to 3.5 per cent for deposits up to Rs 50 lakh. Another PSU lender, Bank of Baroda had slashed the rate to 3.5 per cent on deposits of up to Rs 50 lakh.

According to the India Ratings and Research agency (Ind-Ra) HFCs may find it challenging to expand their portfolio in the large ticket housing segment. \"HFCs will face a margin contraction in this segment, limiting the spreads to absorb all the costs, while trying to generate reasonable returns,\" Ind-Ra said in a report. \"This space is characterised by limited competition from banks and hence offers reasonable risk adjusted returns,\" it said. Ind-Ra estimates just about one-fifth of the total HFCs’ portfolio accounts for ticket size higher than Rs 50 lakh.\n12 September 2017:The white-label ATM (WLA) industry is betting on the latest central bank guidelines to end a period of extended status brought about by the pricing of transactions and supply of cash. In its annual report published last week, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) spoke that it would systematically review the WLA plan, mainly the deployment goals. Operators of the machines have not even reached the goals set for them, with only 14,000 ATMs running at present. The central bank is likely to investigate the reasons behind the slow speed of ATM deployment. \"If they are talking about deployment goals not being met, it would help if they found out the reasons behind the slow speed of the industry. One of the major reasons is the low interchange fees for ATM transactions,\" said Sanjeev Patel, chief executive officer of Tata Communications Payment System that runs the Indicash brand of terminals. The WLA industry was considered to allow non-banking groups to deploy ATMs in rural areas to help achieve financial involvement. While eight groups were licensed to operate as WLAs, industry executives say they paused majorly after interchange fees for financial transactions were reduced to Rs 15 from Rs 18. The interchange fee is the amount paid by the bank whose card is being used at the ATM operator. \"Cash availability is still a major problem for us, especially in rural areas where most of our terminals are deployed,\" said Antony, managing director of Hitachi. While the RBI had allowed these groups to source cash from retail outlets and not depends entirely on banks in the coming decision, business is still to recover for the WLA industry.\n30 August 2017:After sending 12 companies to the National Company Law Tribunal for faster resolution of non-performing assets, the central bank is all set to release its second list with 30-40 names of top defaulters including Videocon Industries, JSPL, Uttam Galva, Visa Steel and Castex Technologies. The second lists of the companies are expected to be in steel, power, infrastructure and commodity sector. The companies that would be listed by RBI soon would owe Rs 3,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore each to banks and most of the firms have already been listed under SMA1 and SMA2 by various banks. The Banking Regulation (Amendment) Ordinance promulgated on May 4 and later ratified by the Parliament, empowered the RBI to direct banks to initiate insolvency proceedings.

If two banks merge, the existing managing director of one of the PSBs (public sector banks) will stand eligible for a similar vacancy in another bank,” the ministry official said. The decision to create the alternate mechanism of a group of ministers rather than the entire cabinet “would facilitate consolidation among the nationalized banks to create strong and competitive banks,” the government had said in a statement. The finance ministry, however, said, “If that bank has no plans to merge, or is not a possible candidate for acquisition, we may appoint an MD and CEO.” “We are also closely watching the performance of the top executives of these lenders and those who fall short on performance will be held accountable,” said the official.\n29th December 2016: As of 28 December 28, 2016, gold rates have seen a surge of Rs. 139 (0.51%).

After the note-ban in November, the Narendra Modi government has pushed the banks to deploy millions of PoS machines to support online payment. At that time banks have doubled their PoS machines from 13.8 lakhs in March 2016 to 28.4 lakhs as of July 2017 and the consequences were it increases the debit and credit cards transactions from Rs 51,900 crore in October 2016 to Rs 68,500 crore in July 2017.\"The overall loss of around Rs 3,800 crore per year is quite substantial and hence the sustainability of the card business depends on a number of factors like MDR, low card usage, poor telecom infrastructure, lack of incentives to merchants to accept cards and insufficient awareness about the costs associated with use of cash,\" the report said. A better telecom infrastructure is needed to drive the digital payments agenda successfully and this can be achieved by ensuring dedicated spectrum for financial transactions alone, as there is the insufficient quantum of spectrum for the infrastructure to take the extra load. The report said the current huge PoS infrastructure that banks have developed have to be supported openly. \"Though the government has proposed various measures to support PoS infrastructure and banks are installing PoS terminals, in the long-run, the business would be possible, only if the transactions at PoS exceed ATM transactions, a desirable task indeed,\" the report concluded.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Kenney Wins Editors' Choice Award\nJuly 21, 2014 11:38 AM\nWater Resources Research\nThe Water Resources Research journal has just announced that a 2013 \"Editor's Choice Award\" will go to an article by lead author Melissa Kenney, an ESSIC/CICS-MD Scientist.

DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART I-OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH PAPERS, 117(1): 51-60.\n- To understand the spatial distribution of phytoplankton communities in various habitats in the Amundsen Sea, western Antarctica, a field survey was conducted at 15 stations during the austral summer, from December 2013 to January 2014. Water samples were analyzed by microscopy. We found high phytoplankton abundance and biomass in the Amundsen Sea polynya (ASP). Their strong positive correlation with water temperature suggests that phytoplankton biomass accumulated in the surface layer of the stratified polynya. In the ASP, the predominant phytoplankton species was Phaeocystis antarctica, while diatoms formed a major group in the sea ice zone, especially Fragilariopsis spp., Chaetoceros spp., and Proboscia spp. Although this large diatom abundance sharply decreased just off the marginal sea ice zone, weakly silicified diatoms, due to their high buoyancy, were distributed at almost all stations on the continental shelf. Dictyocha speculum appeared to favor the area between the marginal sea ice zone and the ASP in contrast to cryptophytes and picophytoplankton, whose abundance was higher in the area between the continental shelf and the open ocean of Amundsen Sea. Several environmental factors were found to affect the spatial variation of phytoplankton species, but the community structure appeared to be controlled mainly by the seawater density related to sea-ice melting and water circulation in the Amundsen Sea.\n- Files in This Item\n- Can archive pre-print and post-print or publisher's version/PDF\nCan archive post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) or publisher's version/PDF\nCan archive pre-print (ie pre-refereeing)\nArchiving not formally supported\nItems in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "ECO 6, COP 17, English version\nRelated Blog Posts\nExcuse me Australia,\nI know it’s a closed session, but I would like to ask a question...on rights\nWho’s got the right to light-up a furnace\nAnd just watch it burn through the blackest, darkest\nLight of a blind man’s midnight – and while its fire still flickers,\nHere’s a quick reminder: According to the latest UNEP report, the weak pledges from Annex I countries get us only about a third of the estimated emissions reductions that are needed if we want to have a two-in-three chance of avoiding more than 2° C warming.

In this section of the plan, we note that though climate change poses unprecedented risks, we’re also in a moment of unprecedented foresight – a combination that gives us a Responsibility to Prepare and Prevent. Advanced climate modeling allows us to project the implications of a range of emissions levels on risks such as sea level rise, rainfall variability, wildfires, impacts on biodiversity and marine and terrestrial ecosystems and functions, and new disease ranges.\nForesight does not automatically translate to action, however. In order to leverage these models for national security insights, the U.S. government must have the personnel, programs, and systems in place to conduct robust and actionable assessments of climate risks. Our plan calls on the administration to “take advantage of unprecedented foresight about climate change.” President Biden’s new Executive Order (EO), Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, takes important steps in this direction–his actions and our recommendations for what should come next are below:(more…)\nBy John Conger\nPart 1 of 4 in the Climate Security Plan for America Blog Series\nIn late 2019, the Center for Climate and Security-led Climate Security Advisory Group, a group of senior U.S. national security and military experts, including eight retired four-star generals and admirals, published the A Climate Security Plan for America. These leaders outlined a comprehensive plan to elevate climate change as a security priority and offered recommendations in four broad categories. This blog discusses the first, Demonstrating Leadership.\nAs we stated in the report, we believed that in order to successfully counter climate security challenges, it must be an articulated priority of the U.S. President. Check. President-elect Biden has repeated often that he seeks to make climate change “a core national security priority.” He named former Secretary Kerry as his “climate envoy” with a seat on the National Security Council. For his own part, Secretary Kerry’s initial comments on his new role have focused on the security threat posed by climate change.(more…)\nBy John Conger\nIn the wake of the declaration that Former Vice President Joseph Biden will become the next President of the United States, we must consider what this means for climate security. Make no mistake, there will be significant consequences for climate change and for national security separately, but our focus at the Center for Climate and Security is their nexus. We will be exploring this in significant detail in the weeks ahead, but I wanted to offer two thoughts in the wake of the election result.(more…)\nIn a recent op-ed published in The Hill, the Center for Climate and Security’s Director, John Conger, and Board Member Alice Hill, call for a National Resilience Act requiring that all investments by the U.S. federal government be climate resilient. This would entail ensuring that such investments undergo a “climate resilience review.” In short, all federal investments should be built to stand up against current and projected climatic changes.\nConger and Hill state that this law should be envisioned as part of a comprehensive nationwide “Climate and Security Infrastructure Initiative” – the kind outlined in the Center for Climate and Security’s Climate Security Plan for America.

Perhaps best known for the movement urging investment institutions to sell stocks connected to the apartheid regime of South Africa in the 1970s, divestment campaigns have successfully targeted a host of issues, including use of sweatshop labor and tobacco advertising. While economic impacts of divestment are debated, the University of Oxford’s Stranded Assets Program concludes the fossil fuel “divestment campaign is likely to lead to a change in market norms” which may exert downward pressure on the valuation of fossil fuel intensive industries – particularly coal stocks. As investors divest from fossil fuel holdings, these funds become more stigmatized and may face a diminishing pool of debt finance which encourage company investment in alternative sectors. By avoiding investment in fossil fuel industries, investors can send a strong policy message supporting renewable energy that can complement other greenhouse gas mitigation efforts.\nWhile divestment focuses on screening out or avoiding investment in fossil fuel intensive companies, “socially responsible investment” (SRI) works to help investors identify holdings that align with organizational values to promote positive change. Also known as “sustainable,” “socially conscious,” or “ethical investing”, these terms reflect a strategy of considering social good as well as financial returns. In practice, particularly with groups concerned about environmental stewardship, this typically entails partial fossil fuel avoidance, which means that investors limit holdings in companies with high fossil fuel exposure. In addition to negative screening, investor Amy Domini who authored Ethical Investing describes shareholder advocacy and community investing as pillars of socially responsible investing. SRI can add investments to high impact entities to support positive change.\nFossil fuel divestment and socially responsible investment portfolios enable organizations to align their values with their goals. Land trusts are uniquely situated to engage in dialogs about divestment and SRI organizationally and with donors because avoiding significant increases in global temperatures is a critical conservation objective. Identifying a significant investment gap based on a 2012 International Energy Agency (IEA) report, Ceres has identified ten recommendations for investors, companies, and policy makers to increase annual global investment in clean energy to at least $1 trillion by 2030 – the amount the IEA has estimated is needed to have an 80% chance of limiting the increase of global temperatures to two degrees Celsius in order to “avoid the worst impacts of climate change”. In order to support the scaled deployment of renewable energy technology necessary to limit global warming, significant increases in the renewable energy sector are necessary. By assessing their existing portfolios and avoiding investments in fossil fuels, land trusts can maximize their contributions of capital flows into the clean energy sector that support the pressing conservation imperative to mitigate global climate change.\nBy implementing a SRI portfolio, the Otsego Land Trust of New York is leading the charge to align investments with organizational conservation objectives.

This might confuse you that somebody who might normally go to pro women’s right rallies (guilty) would argue that men and women are equal right now.\nLet’s start with the differences between men and women on a biological level. Men have the ability to gain muscle used for getting the necessities for the family, and women have the uterus to protect and raise the young. This being said, that there are differences between men and women is it possible to be equal in every single different aspect of life? No, but is equality still attainable, yes. I truly believe that we have reached that point and if not we are very close.\nThere are many influential men in society and we know that, but what about the women?

There are very famous powerful women, but I also think there are more famous men than women that brings to mind the question; how can women be equal if this is true? The one quote that keeps coming to mind is from My Big Fat Greek Wedding “If the man is the head, the woman is the neck, and she can move him any way she wants.” The brilliance of that line is the one thing that led me to believe in current equality. Think about an average relationship between a man and a woman, who wins the battles? In my mind the woman does, it should in yours too. That is the way the American family works.\nWhy do the women have this power? Is it because of the undeniable sexual attraction from men to women?

If the disease is not severe, the signs and symptoms decrease after the fever resolves. Patients with severe disease can unexpectedly deteriorate after a few days of fever and develop bleeding from the nose, gums, mouth or in the skin, which leads to purplish bruises.

Seasonal and permanent waterlogged area and standing water were delineated on the basis of remote sensing data, digital elevation model and groundwater data.\nThe application of excess water and recharge from the irrigation distribution network leads to gradual rise of groundwater table and causes waterlogging. The excess soil moisture leads to salinity build up and affects crop growth adversely because of deficient aeration in the root zone depth. The remote sensing techniques reveal the physiographic, soil and hydrological differences in the study area and were valuable in carrying out the investigations.\nThe study presents the various norms for identification of the waterlogged areas as well as the diverse approaches to express the water table depth below the soil surface. It accepts depth of water table during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season as the most practical approach to define waterlogging. The waterlogged area of Rohtak and Jhajjar districts has been assessed as 6.24 % and 4.17 % of their areas respectively.\nThe report outlines some of the remedies for waterlogging like conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, canal lining, horizontal drainage, water management, floods, construction of drains, bio-drainage and cropping pattern changes.

Young climate strikers have already been leaving their classrooms around the world each Friday as part of the “Fridays For Future” movement; on September 20 adults will join them in what may very well be the largest climate protest ever. The bold youth leadership behind these rallies is striking, if not surprising: a recent survey shows that about one in four American teens have already taken action on climate. This Friday, people in more than 150 countries are participating, as well as major companies like Ben & Jerry’s, Lush Cosmetics, and unions/trade groups, faith groups, and even entire school districts.

CNN facilitated a climate crisis town hall, spending seven hours interviewing candidates about their policy plans to deal with the climate crisis. While the candidates proposed a variety of solutions, they all agreed that transitioning to a clean energy economy by mid-century was of the utmost importance. Top takeaways from the climate crisis town hall can be found here. Last week, the Democratic National Committee hosted the third presidential debate, at which climate policy made a small but meaningful cameo.\nCoal and gas: closer to becoming a thing of the past\nComing on the heels of Berkeley, CA’s recent decision to keep fracked gas out of new construction, The City of Seattle is considering its own plans concerning how we heat our homes and buildings. The Healthy Homes, Healthy Buildings proposal would guarantee that all newly constructed homes and buildings run on clean electricity, not fossil fuels.20, 2020. Officials in Minneapolis are also looking for ways to drastically cut natural gas use. Citywide natural gas use rose last year and accounts for the city’s top source of greenhouse gas emissions. A new study highlights why cutting natural gas will be good for our wallets too: by 2035, it will be more expensive to run 90% of gas plants being proposed in the U.S. than it will be to build new wind and solar. The study projects that this change will happen so quickly that gas plants being planned now will become uneconomical before their owners can finish paying for them.\nAnd when it comes to coal, plant closure is already proving to be good for the bottom line. A new analysis by Oregon-based utility, PacifiCorp, showed that at least a half-billion dollars could be saved through early coal plant closures. Closing coal is boosting the economy in other ways too; a new study finds that burning less coal means less public health costs that come from populations suffering from the health impacts of particulate pollution. But as coal operations shutter without any sort of just transition plan in place, coal companies are leaving behind a wake of damage in the communities they once served—workers without jobs or healthcare, taxes unpaid, and abandoned worksites with no clean-up plan. Wyoming Senate President, Drew Perkins has formed the first legislative subcommittee to hold coal companies accountable and to secure financial obligations from them, even after they declare bankruptcy.\nDorian’s aftermath and the new normal of hurricanes\nHurricane Dorian stands today as one of the strongest, longest-lasting hurricanes on record in the Atlantic. But that distinction may be short lived, as climate change contributes to hurricanes stalling over coastal areas, bringing extreme rainfall, slower winds, and increasing in strength overall. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that the oceans have absorbed over 90% of the Earth’s warming over the last half century. Warm waters provide heat and moisture to fuel hurricanes, meaning that we can expect more frequent and stronger hurricanes in the future. While the U.S. was largely spared Dorian’s destruction, thousands have been evacuated from Grand Bahama, while thousands more remain missing or on the island without food, running water or electricity. Many individuals are still missing from low-lying shantytowns where structures were completely flattened by the storm. Hurricane Dorian’s devastation of the most impoverished areas of the Bahamas is an example of how climate change hits vulnerable populations first and worst.\nThe blob is back. Beware\nScientists have detected a marine heatwave off of the West Coast, stretching from California all the way to Alaska. The heat wave is reminiscent of the 2014-2015 ocean “blob” that ravaged salmon runs, seabirds and other marine life. This newly detected blob poses an equally grave threat to salmon and sea life, and may create toxic algae blooms that poison shellfish and force marine life to search for cooler waters. Impacted areas are currently between 5 and 7 degrees above average and span over four million square miles. It is the second largest such occurrence ever recorded in over 40 years. The 2015 blob was blamed for bringing drought to the west coast and heavy snow to the east coast. Some meteorologists project that we could see a repeat of that situation, with the first 200 miles from the western North America coast being the most impacted.\nIn Brief: AAA gets an “F” on climate\nThe same AAA that you call for a lifeline when your car breaks down doesn’t extend that lifeline to the climate emergency we’re currently experiencing.

Develop Project Charter | PMP Guide share Developing a project charter is the process of developing a document that formally authorizes the existence of a project and gives the project manager the authority to apply the organizational resources to the activities of the project. It empowers the project manager to deliver. Identification of project scope: Scoping is a critical activity to create a boundary of what work to be done and what not to be done. What questions do you have regarding the PMP Exam? It belongs to the Initiating process group, and the Integration Management Knowledge Area. Wrap Up. After all, these are just guidelines, not a rule book. Having said that, a change of project manager should not have any impact on the Project Charter. The project manager CAN NOT sign the project charter, even though the project manager might have created the document. Project Statement of Work (SOW) includes the business need and the overview of the qualities/characteristicsof deliverables; 2. A template is an example of an enterprise environmental factor. Thus, it is important to uncover all the assumptions. Experts are generally available, but you may have to find them within the company, with the help of your sponsor or PMO.

However, for the PMP exam perspective, remember that it is the “manager external to the project” who signs the project charter. A project charter, on the other hand is based on the SOW and gives the project manager the authority for a project kick-off. Identification of high-level project requirements and objectives: Detailed level requirements and objectives are not possible at this stage of the project. The charter also identifies the main stakeholders and defines the authority of the project manager. Who will be affected by the project (influence the project), as known to date? Thus, making the Develop Project Charter an integration process. A face to face training is also good, but is often crammed in a short span of 4-5 days, and leads to information overload… which hinders memory retention.

According to the PMBOK Guide, the project charter is an official document that formally authorizes a project or a phase and documenting initial requirements that satisfies stakeholders’ need and expectation. The project charter includes the following: Measurable Project Objectives and related success criteria, High-level Project description and boundaries, Project approval requirements (i.e, What constitutes project success, who decides the project is successful, and who signs off on the project), Assigned Project manager, responsibility, and authority level, Name and authority of the sponsor or another person (s) authorizing the project charter. Identification of project success criteria: Project Manager should also identify the success criteria of the project.

In the early 1800s he examined the reflection of a candle flame by mother- of- pearl. This deceptively simple experiment yielded important clues to the colour formation because he found that there were several coloured reflections – a sign of diffraction rather than pure reflection and refraction. An even more telling experiment was on a wax cast of the shell surface. The wax showed the colours too. Brewster considered that the colours were somehow ‘communicable’. They were: We see that the shell’s colours must somehow be produced by the structure of its surface – consistent with Brewster’s observation that the shell was finely grooved with ~3000 lines per inch. The shell's surface is a natural diffraction grating.\nIn 1923, in one of the later papers of his life, Lord Rayleigh, a giant of physics, complicated the surface diffraction paradigm by observing that shells often had multiple layers of thin plates and that their colours could arise from another type of diffraction, multilayer interference.\nThe great Indian physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman reconciled the two views in 1934 and later in a series of publications in 1954 with Dharmaraja Krishnamurti. He saw that in many cases that the multiple internal layers were inclined to the surface and thus produced the regularly spaced surface grooves where they outcropped. Intriguingly, he showed, among much more detailed studies, that under those conditions the diffraction effects of the surface grooves and the internal multiple layers direct light in the same directions although the spectra differ.\nIn the 21st Century, the physical structures and optical properties of shells continue to be studied. Shells are immensely strong with highly desirable mechanical properties that arise from their internal structure. Their colours are examples of structural colour, colours that arise from light scattering by complex nanostructures rather than simple absorption, refraction and reflection. They challenge optical theories and attempts to mimic them.\n|The lustrous nacre of the abalone shell is made up of polygonal (usually hexagonal) tiles of a very hard crystalline form of calcium carbonate, aragonite, cemented in a thin matrix of conchiolin – polysaccharide and protein fibres. The tiles are each a single crystal and are tessellated in stacked layers. Each layer is 0.5 micron thick. The individual tiles are about 10 micron across and their ‘c’ optical axes are all perpendicular to the layer.\nThe structure’s regularity is remarkable. Protein secretions control its formation. Initially there is random nucleation of aragonite on a thin protein layer. The fastest crystal growth would normally be perpendicular to the layer along the ‘c’ axis but this is rather neatly prevented by the selective absorption of proteins onto the top crystal faces. Horizontal growth proceeds instead and contact with adjacent tiles eventually forces a regular spacing. Periodic injections of an inhibitor protein is hypothesised to limit the tile thickness to 0.5 micron. An upper terrace of crystal starts to form on the face of each tile and eventually grows into a second layer. And so on.\n|Stacked layers of aragonite tiles Regularly spaced surface grooves|\n|The green bars represent 10 micron.

The private pilot, who owned the airplane and was its sole occupant, was not injured. The 14 CFR 91 flight was bound for Corvallis, Oregon. Visual meteorological conditions existed and no flight plan had been filed. Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page\nThe pilot stated the following in his report of the accident:\nThe wind was directly down [the] runway. Using '29' with headwind I took off with 20 [degrees] of flaps. As I reached the top of the trees my right wing dropped and was pointing at the ground. [It] was as if I lost lift on [the] right wing...I used ailerons to try to counter the dropped wing - help[ed] some but right wing would not stay up - there was 'no' stall warning at any time - I was coming back down like a floating leaf and the right [wing] caught the runway first - cartwheeling me to the left wing and then the nose in full throttle.\nAccording to the U. S. Government Airport/Facility Directory, runway 29 is a 3,150 by 85 foot turf and gravel runway at an elevation of 2,415 feet above sea level. The pilot stated in a phone interview with the investigator that he had been concerned about terrain clearance over a ridge off the end of runway 29, and that the use of 20 degrees of flaps was a technique he had previously been taught to use to deal with this situation.\nTwo witnesses, who were friends of the pilot, watched the pilot take off and witnessed the accident. These witnesses, who stated that they observed the accident from mid-field, furnished a jointly signed statement which read as follows:\nAircraft did normal runup and began takeoff roll on runway 29 with what appeared to be 20 [degree] flaps deployment. Wind was 15 to 20 [knots] from 270 [degrees]. Runway has trees on both sides. Aircraft rotated and initiated a healthy rate of climb....Aircraft reached tree top level and right wing dropped. Aircraft then stalled and broke to the right impacting approx[imately] 1,000 [feet] from beginning of [takeoff] roll. Post impact inspection found flaps to be completely retracted and wing damaged to the point they could not be deployed.\nI distinctly saw flaps deployed during climb.\nThe airplane is equipped with mechanically actuated flaps. In his report, the pilot expressed a belief that the flaps had inadvertently retracted during the climb and had thereby induced a stall. He stated in his report: \"after all was over the flaps were at '0' [degrees] and fully retracted.\" He further stated in his report that he had had two previous problems with the airplane's flaps in the past year. His report stated: \"One flap mounting bracket broke on a landing (repaired-different left flap installed) and on 5-27-95 the flap lever would not lock in on landing. Repair done at Corvallis FBO....\" The pilot furnished copies from the aircraft logbook documenting these jobs. To verify the report of flap problems, an FAA inspector from Spokane, Washington performed an inspection of the aircraft wreckage at Aircraft Salvage & Rebuild, Inc., Omak, Washington. Her report stated the following:\nRemoved access panel to floor mounted flap actuation handle. Found cables attached. Slots in the assembly were not worn or found to be of any concern. Flap handle moved freely [and] normally and locked at each flap setting position normally.\nSalvage personnel stated at time of recovery, flap handle was down [and] flaps were at -0- setting. They also stated that at disassembly, the flap cables were attached.\nAt the time of our inspection, both wings were removed from the aircraft.\nPhotos taken by the aircraft salvage crew at the time of wreckage recovery, and supplied to the investigator, showed the flaps in a slightly extended position estimated at approximately 10 degrees down.\nAn Aircraft Salvage & Rebuild mechanic checked the airplane's stall warning system in support of the investigation. According to the 1957 Cessna 172 owner's manual, the stall warning horn \"is adjusted to give an audible warning approximately 5 mph above the normal straight ahead stalling speed. Other attitudes and speeds provide a wider margin.\" The mechanic's report stated: \"...[The stall warning horn] worked as normal. The detector in the [right] wing worked normally using a VOM to check continuity. There didn't appear to be any sticking or binding of the detector.\"\nThe owner's manual for the 1957 Cessna 172 notes that the flaps \"supply added lift and considerable drag\", and specifies the following procedures for takeoff and climb:\n\"TAKE-OFF. Normal and obstacle clearance takeoffs are performed with flaps retracted. The use of 10 [degrees] flaps will shorten the ground run approximately 10%, but this advantage is lost in the climb to a 50 foot obstacle....Flap deflections of 30 [degrees] and 40 [degrees] are not recommended at any time for take-off.\"\n\"CLIMB. ...If an obstruction dictates the use of a steep climb angle, the best angle-of-climb speed should be used with flaps up and full throttle. These speeds vary from 56 m.p.h. at sea level to 63 m.p.h. at 10,000 feet.\"\nThe power-off stalling speed chart in the owner's manual gives the flaps-up, wings-level stall speed as 58 mph and the 10- degree-flap stall speed as 56 mph. The chart indicates power-off stall speeds at a gross weight of 2,200 pounds.\nThe airport is located in a river valley in mountainous territory, with terrain rising to 8,726 feet above sea level (6,311 feet above the airport elevation) approximately 5 nautical miles north-northwest of the airport. The river valley and runway are oriented northwest/southeast, with another valley joining from the north immediately beyond the departure end of runway 29. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 61-23B, \"Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge\", states: \"Between hills or mountains, where there is a canyon or narrow valley, the wind will generally veer from its normal course and flow through the passage with increased velocity and turbulence. A pilot flying over such terrain needs to be alert for wind shifts....\" FAA AC 00-6A, \"Aviation Weather\", also states: \"The airport area is especially vulnerable to mechanical turbulence which invariably causes gusty surface winds. When an aircraft is in...a climb, airspeed fluctuates in the gusts, and the aircraft may even stall.\" The pilot estimated wind at the accident site as being from 290 degrees at 25 knots, gusting to 35 knots. Both the pilot and the witnesses reported that the airplane's right wing initially dropped when the airplane reached the tops of the trees surrounding the airport.\nThe airplane was equipped with a retrofitted shoulder harness. The pilot expressed a strong opinion to the NTSB investigator that the shoulder harness had spared him from injury or death in the accident.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Hotel Nikko Wuxi sits in the city's downtown area, near the ancient Nanchan Temple and Great Canal.

Government agencies, international development organizations, companies from a variety of economic sectors, professional associations, non-profits, and academic institutions are confronting the challenges of strengthening the science-policy interface to better address the impacts of environmental change. The goal of this workshop is to foster new scholarship, practice, and institutional development that improves engagement between scientists, decision makers, and the public to address complex issues related to global environmental change.\nTo achieve this goal, the workshop will be built around three core questions:\n1. Why is engagement imperative in the context of global change?\n2. What new lessons have we learned about engagement, from both scholarship and practice, and what is outmoded?\n3. How do we build institutions that support engagement and, in so doing, foster better outcomes like long term resilience in the face of dramatic environmental change?\nIn the U.S., the need for effective scientist-decision maker engagement is explicitly endorsed at the highest levels of national science policy-making, including the annual research and development priorities memo of the Executive Office for fiscal year 2017. The call from the Executive Office formalizes a long-standing recognition–among a minority of scientists and practitioners–that the public value of research activities may be enhanced through engagement between scientists and decision makers. Despite the growing recognition of the value of socially-engaged research, sound practice for engagement is not adequately considered in the design of new institutions, programs, and career development tracks. This gap illustrates a lack of formal learning in science policy and is critical because engagement and, specifically, co-production of knowledge are proving effective in adapting to global change.\nEngagement between scientists and decision makers (science-policy interactions) occurs in different communities of research and practice. We identified three communities for this workshop: water; conservation; and urban planning. Across these cases, deliberate strategies have been employed to encourage decision maker-scientist engagement, including the formation of new organizations, innovative design of research projects, and training and education for professionals to participate in engagement efforts. Individual cases reveal several outcomes, including but not limited to: increased awareness of risk; information that enabled adaptation or resilience choices; exchange between decision makers from different sectors leading to more coordinated responses to natural resource impacts; and mediation for responsible use of science. These cases reinforce the imperative to support the science-policy interface, but also reinforce the need for institutional development. Specifically, we have initially defined the following goals based on recurrent themes in previous discussions:\n• Building commitment to sustained and diverse institutional structures\n• Identifying standards for organizational behaviors and practices at the interface\n• Clarifying career paths for work at the interface\nWe assembled participants with understanding, expertise, and/or experience in engagement at the interface. In each of the case areas, we asked participants to examine these institutional demands or gaps.\nExpand to see available videos and presentations\n11:00 am Federal Leadership on and Support for Scaled-Up Science-Policy Interactions Presented by Kathy Jacobs\n11:45 am Discussion: Federal Leadership on and Support for Scaled-Up Science-Policy Interactions Presented by Kathy Jacobs, Kevin Bush, John Nordgren, Adam Parris, Michael Bernstein\n2:00 pm Climate Services for Water Utilities Presented by Julie Vano\n4:00 pm Issues for the Next Generation of Conservationists Working at the Interface Presented by Angela Bednarek\n4:10 pm A Process to Inform a Research, Development, and Applications Agenda Presented by Ann Bartuska\n4:20 pm Coaching in Use-Inspired Science for the Pew Marine Fellows Presented by Angela Bednarek\n11:00 am International Programs & Initiatives\n11:30 am International Initiatives for Solutions-Oriented Research Presented by Maria Uhle\n2:00 pm Federal Leadership on and Support for Scaled-Up Science-Policy Interactions (Revisited) Presented by Caitlin Simpson\n2:10 pm Federal Leadership on and Support for Scaled-Up Science-Policy Interactions (Revisited) Presented by Ann Bartuska\n2:30 pm Federal Leadership on and Support for Scaled-Up Science-Policy Interactions (Revisited) Presented by Shali Mohleji\nProf Mark Howden is the Director of the Climate Change Institute at ANU and a Honorary Professor at Melbourne University.

The conference was composed of two days of sessions (Oct. 24-25) and a one-day visit for overseas participants to the JAXA Tsukuba Space Center (Oct. 26). The conference was attended by 144 participants from 24 countries representing our partner countries, international and regional organizations (including COMIFAC, FAO, IUFRO, NASA, UNFCCC, UNFF, and WRI), development partners, the private sector and civil society.\nOpening Session with High-level Representatives\nThe following individuals made speeches or key presentations at the Opening Session: H.E. Dr. Amy Ambatobe Nyongolo, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Democratic Republic of the Congo; H.E. Dr. Rosalie Matondo, Minister for Forest Economy, Republic of Congo (represented by Mr. Etienne Yoyo, Director General of Forest Economy); Dr. Gerhard Dieterle, Executive Director, International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO); Mr. Koji Makimoto, Deputy Director-General, Forestry Agency of Japan; Ms. Noriko Suzuki, Senior Vice President, JICA; and Prof. Teruyuki Nakajima, Director, Earth Observation Research Center (EORC), JAXA.\nConference Key Question: How can countries use satellite technologies to promote forest management effectively?\nForests - particularly tropical ones - are directly and indirectly contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and they are also critical for economic development, biodiversity conservation, and climate change measures. However, monitoring and managing forests sustainably is not an easy task - especially for developing countries -- due to factors such as their huge area, accessibility, insufficient resources and capacity. Given this, satellite technologies are indispensable in the monitoring and managing of forests these days.\nIn light of this, the conference was held with the aim of providing participants with opportunities to exchange views on the following: 1) how developing countries can promote forest management effectively, including by means such as tackling illegal deforestation activities, using JJ-FAST and other forest early warning systems and satellite technologies and implementing the necessary policy measures; and 2) how development partners can support a country's efforts. The sessions focused on two different aspects of the issue: governance and satellite technologies.\nDiscussion: Satellite technologies present many opportunities to address forest-related challenges, but good governance is indispensable\nDuring the conference, the challenges faced by our partner countries and the international community in terms of improving forest governance by using the tools of forest monitoring and forest management were discussed. The participants recognized that the effective use of satellite technologies, such as JJ-FAST and other satellite-based systems, present many opportunities to address these challenges. The participants pointed out the need for these satellite-based systems to meet the needs and circumstances of the relevant developing countries and stakeholders and for them to be user-friendly solutions that require fewer resources and technical inputs. They also pointed out that several satellite-based systems are now available - including JJ-FAST, Global Forest Watch, SEPAL, and GLAD - and that they each have different advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, these systems should be used in a complementary and comprehensive manner. Furthermore, the participants shared a common understanding that technologies or systems cannot provide a single solution for all forest-related challenges and that effective solutions require good forest governance, such as strong political will, effective policies, law enforcement, anti-corruption measures, capacity building, and effective coordination among stakeholders.\nDiscussion: JJ-FAST can be an effective tool for forest management, and further upgrading of its functions is expected\nThe participants expressed great interest in JJ-FAST and had high expectations that it would prove to be an effective tool for forest monitoring and management through its incorporation in national forest monitoring systems and management plans based on their needs and objectives. Further study would be beneficial in seeking an effective means of utilizing JJ-FAST in the enforcement of regulations designed to address illegal deforestation activities, the tracking of legally harvested wood and wood products, the conducting of appropriate concession management and the implementation of other measures. The functionality of JJ-FAST can be enhanced to allow it to be used more effectively by developing countries and all stakeholders in conjunction with other available systems and tools both complimentarily and comprehensively. At the same time, participants pointed out that JJ-FAST, which is still a new system, has room for improvement in terms of matters such as the size of objects that can be detected and accuracy (e.g., through the use of dual polarization and time series data on multiple data items). The JJ-FAST Development Team requested participant feedback from the field as it would help them to improve their algorithms and data accuracy.\nThe output from each session was summarized by the moderators and shared with the participants. At the end of the conference, the co-organizers issued the \"Statement on the Tokyo International Conference on the Forest Governance Initiative,\" which incorporated the findings from the various sessions and called for further partnerships among the stakeholders.\nVisit to JAXA Tsukuba Space Center\nOn October 26, overseas participants visited the JAXA Tsukuba Space Center (TKSC) to learn about JAXA's mission and its space activities.\n|I.

The tunnel was finally cleared after 3 – 4 hours. The activists pleaded guilty, and have now been sentenced – by Judge Deborah Wright – to fines of £200 each, increased to £305 each with the addition of court and CPS costs. The three protestors are: Esme Waldron, 23, a student from Brighton; Alistair Cannell, 26, a bar worker, from Brighton; and William Pettifer, 27, a worker on an organic farm in Somerset. The Judge reduced the sentence from the original level of £300 each, as they pleaded guilty and had been careful to avoid any danger to the public. She acknowledged the good record of each defendant, and their sincerity in their belief of the harm that would be done by a 3rd Heathrow runway. However, she felt they had been inconsiderate of the travelling public in causing around 75 to miss flights, and more to have problems with reaching the airport or parking. The fines were low, as the incomes of all three are low. A lively crowd, including some of the Heathrow 13, assembled before the hearing, to support the activists.\nThree Plane Stupid activists – the Tunnel Trio – sentenced to £305 fines each\n3 arrests after Plane Stupid block Heathrow tunnel for 3 hours using a van + activists locked onto it\nThe main road entrance tunnel to Heathrow’s Terminals 1 and 2 was blocked by climate change activists from Plane Stupid, for about 3 hours, from 7.40 this morning. Three activists parked a vehicle across both lanes of the entrance tunnel and locked themselves to it, unfurling a banner quoting David Cameron’s election promise in 2010: “No Ifs, No Buts: No Third Runway”. Three people were arrested, and the tunnel was finally cleared. Some travellers may have been delayed or could have missed flights. Local resident Neil Keveren, a builder from Harmondsworth, whose house would be bulldozed for the 3rd runway, was fined after blocking the same tunnel with his van for half an hour on 2nd July, the day after the Airports Commission announcement. Neil said: “No one wants to do this. They feel they have to. People feel they have no choice. After we campaigned for years, David Cameron was elected promising ‘no ifs, no buts: no third runway’. …. We have tried every other option. We have been forced to be disobedient just to be heard. To save our homes and our planet.” There is already airport capacity for families taking a couple of trips per year, or wealthy foreign visitors to the UK, but a new runway would be for the most wealthy to take multiple leisure trips each year. Plane Stupid apologised for causing inconvenience, but believe the strong arguments against a Heathrow runway must be heard.\nActivists who blocked Heathrow tunnel plead not guilty – [further hearing April 2016]\nOn 23rd December, there was a brief court hearing for the 3 activists who blocked a main Heathrow entrance tunnel on 26th November. The hearing was at Uxbridge Magistrates Court, and they pleaded not guilty. Another hearing will therefore be arranged in 2016. Many supporters of the activists attended the hearing and gathered outside the court beforehand. After the court hearing, a large group Heathrow-3rd-Runway-opponents including many local residents who face destruction of their homes and communities if a runway is built, met outside the Magistrates court. Wearing Santa hats, they sang a few Christmas carols and jingles (with two or three accompanying policemen) before dispersing.\nThe last time the tunnel was blocked:\nProtester whose Harmondsworth home would be destroyed by 3rd runway, blocks Heathrow tunnel for half an hour\nA blockade of Heathrow’s road access tunnel to Terminals 2 and 3 brought traffic to a halt for more than half an hour at 12.45pm today. The protest follows yesterday’s announcement that the Airports Commission report recommends the building of 3rd runway at Heathrow. This would require the destruction of over 1,000 homes in Harmondsworth, Longford and Sipson with a further 3,000 homes made uninhabitable due to excessive noise and pollution. Neil Keveren, a Harmondsworth resident, used a large white van to block both lanes to incoming traffic. He then unfurled a banner that covered the side of his vehicle to face the stationary traffic saying, “Residents Against Expansion – No ifs, no buts, no third runway”. The banner refers to David Cameron’s pledge prior to the 2010 election. His entirely peaceful protest was only ever intended to last 20 minutes, to avoid disruption to the airport. His co-operation enabled the police to avoid an evacuation procedure that would have caused further disruption to traffic. Neil Keveren made it clear his action was a personal protest, and was not part of his role as Chair of the Stop Heathrow Expansion (SHE) campaign group. However, his action were supported by many local residents and the local MP, John McDonnell.\nFull story at https://www.airportwatch.org.uk/2015/07/26823/", "label": "No"} +{"text": "HMN- Industrial fire at 124-year-old facility,”First responders noted seeing smoke and fire inside the idustrial building, which houses steel and fiber drums, plastic barrels and a variety of other totes used by oil and chemical companies.” according to mlive.com\nMARNE, MI — Officials from numerous fire departments were dispatched Friday morning to an industrial fire in northeast Ottawa County.\nThe fire, along with a possible explosion, was reported around 6:40 a.m. at DeWitt Barrels, 1125 Comstock St. in Marne.\nFirst responders noted seeing smoke and fire inside the building, which houses steel and fiber drums, plastic barrels and a variety of other totes used by oil and chemical companies.\nEmployees were evacuated from the building, and no injuries were reported.\nOttawa County and Marne emergency crews on scene requested assistance from departments including Walker, Allendale and Alpine, according to dispatch recordings.\nPolice also shut down Comstock Street between 8th Avenue and 16th Avenue.\nBy 7:20 a.m., crews reported the fire was out.

This work should be down with the acknowledgement that decarbonization and climate action are only a small part of the larger disruption happening in workforces around the world thanks to trends such as automation.\n2018 will be a crucial year for the global community to demonstrate its determination to limit the increase in global temperature well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Stepping-up efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C requires integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. It also requires the understanding that a sustainable and just future is only possible if all sectors of society engage actively to develop new ways of working that protect the environment for present and future generations, and that promote justice and the creation of decent working opportunities for all, all along the supply chain. The Paris Agreement references just transition in its preamble, along with the importance of creating decent quality jobs aligned with nationally development priorities.\nIn accordance to SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 10 (reducing inequalities), SDG 1 (no poverty), and SDG 13 (climate action), the G7 must promote sustainable development, that encourages new technologies, sustainable consumptions, and a just transition for workers, communities, and Indigenous Peoples around the world. Just transition in a world’s growing population, means building a low-carbon future that recognizes three main defining challenges for our century: decent work, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability. We encourage the G7 to also think about the challenges of a just transition such as: the restructuring of different sectors of the economy which could lead to displacement of workers and job losses; the impacts of climate change on assets, infrastructure and livelihoods,; the impact of increasing energy demand and prices specifically on the poor, and; the impacts of climate change on women, and Indigenous communities around the world.\nG7 leaders can use this summit to promote the exchange of experiences, build momentum around just transition, and create an ongoing dialogue on this specific topic. These leading economies must agree on the overarching goal of the Paris Agreement decarbonization pathways, and the importance of promoting the creation of an international agenda around just transition that promotes, and realizes fundamental principles such as the right of decent work in a decarbonizing world. A specific focus on Indigenous communities is essential in ensuring just transition policies are aligned with the United Nations Declaration of the Right of Indigenous Peoples.\nThe G7 must encourage large, medium and small enterprises, investors and consumers to embrace transition towards inclusive economies around all sectors of the economy.\nFinally, Canada, as President of the G7, and building on the work of the Task Force on the Just Transition for Canadian Coal-Power Workers and Communities has the opportunity to elevate this discussion, and promote mainstreaming of just transition principles across all G7 priorities and discussions for the upcoming years. Canada shall encourage all G7 members to include principles of just transition as part of their new nationally determined contributions.\nThe climate and energy working group of the G7 global task force is a broad coalition of over 40 civil society organisations from G7 countries and around the world that has come together to deliver expectations from civil society as the world’s wealthiest industrialized nations meet June 8-9 for the G7 Head of States Summit and G7 Energy, Environment, and Oceans Ministers prepare to meet in the fall.

It is very corrosive and its vapors are extremely irritating to the eyes and lungs. Care should therefore be exercised in working with it, and any spilled upon the hands should be immediately washed off. It is a condensation of two molecules of acetic acid with elimination of water. The reaction, however, is reversible, and there is always present some acetic acid due to action of water. ItemAir-stable palladium(II) precatalysts: synthesis, properties, and applications in cross-coupling reactions(University of Alabama Libraries, 2017) Barnett, Kerry Lynn; Shaughnessy, Kevin H.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaPalladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are a versatile tool in organic chemistry to produce small molecules. Current research interests involve the development of new catalyst systems for various palladium catalyzed reactions. Previous work has suggested the active species for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to be a mono-ligated palladium(0) species when sterically demanding ligands are used. Therefore, the my work focused on the synthesis of precatalysts with an established 1:1 L:Pd. Specifically, we were focused on the synthesis of mono-ligated palladium(II) precatalysts of general formula [(R_3P)PdCl_2]_2, using di-tert-butylneopentylphosphine (DTBNpP), tert-butyldineopentylphosphine (TBDNpP), and trineopentylphosphine (TNpP) as ligands. Under optimized conditions, both [(DTBNpP)PdCl_2]_2 and [(TNpP)PdCl_2]_2 were effective precatalysts for the Suzuki cross-coupling of a wide range of aryl bromides. Comparison studies with the air-stable precatalysts versus the in-situ generated catalyst showed the precatalysts to have improved conversions and higher rates of reaction under both inert and ambient atmospheres. The precatalyst activation pathways were investigated by 31P NMR spectroscopy. The spectra obtained from 31P NMR experiments revealed a side reaction resulting in a catalytically inactive palladacycle species. The results obtained from the mechanistic investigations led to further optimization of reaction conditions to decrease the amounts of catalytically inactive side products formed. ItemAnionic polymerization of activated aziridines(University of Alabama Libraries, 2018) Mbarushimana, Pierre Canisius C.; Rupar, Paul A.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaPolyethyleneimine, also referred to as polyaziridine, is a polymer that has a repeat unit of (-CH2CH2NH-). Due to its high amine density, PEI finds application in several domains including gene transfection, antimicrobial/antibacterial medicine, CO2 capture, thin film metal deposition, industrial wastewater treatments, and more. Commercially, PEI is obtained via the uncontrolled polymerization of aziridine and the cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP) of oxazolines. However, the available cationic polymerization techniques of aziridines are poorly controlled. In order to synthesize well-defined PEIs, recent literature approaches have used the anionic ring opening polymerization (AROP) of various N-substituted aziridines. The present research, done at The University of Alabama, has focused on the synthesis and AROP of N-substituted aziridines, without the substitution at the 2-position of the aziridine ring. The studied monomers include three tert-butylcarboxy-protected aziridine monomers, specifically tert-butyl aziridine-1-carboxylate, tert-butyl 2-methylaziridine-1-carboxylate, tert-butyl 2-decylaziridine, and six 1-(alkylsulfonylsulfonyl) aziridine monomers, i.e. 1-(methylsulfonyl)aziridine, 1-(toluenesulfonyl)aziridine, 1-(octylsulfonyl)aziridine, 1-(sec-butylsulfonyl)aziridine, 1-((2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl)aziridine, and 1-((4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl)aziridine. After characterization, the synthesized monomers were homopolymerized by AROP using various nucleophilic initiators. Except for BOCDecAz, all the synthesized monomers were successfully converted into the corresponding polymers. However, only short oligomers of the resulting homopolymers were formed, as high molecular weight polymer chains were insoluble. The synthesized polymers can potentially be used as precursor to pure linear polyamines A single sulfonyl aziridine, namely1-((ortho-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl)aziridine (oNsAz) was found to produce high molecular weight poly(oNsAz) that was soluble in DMF and DMSO. This is significant as it is the first example of a soluble poly(1-sulfonylaziridine) homopolymer; prior examples were limited to random copolymer. The deprotection of poly(oNsAz) was also attempted in effort to synthesize linear PEI. Although evidence was found for the formation of linear PEI, satisfactory purification of the linear PEI was not achievable. ItemThe anionic ring-opening polymerization of cyclic imines(University of Alabama Libraries, 2019) Reisman, Louis; Rupar, Paul A.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaOne important class of polymers is polyimines. Polyimines have a wide range of applications such as CO2 capture and non-viral gene-transfection. Despite their many applications, the use of these polymers is limited due to difficulties in controlling the polymerization. To increase the feasibility of polyimines in the aforementioned high-value applications, the research in this dissertation focuses on controlled routes to produce linear polyimines using living anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP). The early work of this dissertation focuses on an AROP route to linear polyethylenimine (LPEI). Due to the insolubility of p(N-sulfonylaziridine)s (i.e. non-2-substituted) in all common solvents, this was achieved using a copolymerization strategy. Utilizing two N-sulfonylaziridines, N-(methanesulfonyl)aziridine (MsAz) and N-(sec-butylsulfonyl)aziridine (sBsAz), with similar reactivities, a soluble random copolymer with narrow molecular weight distributions is produced. Removal of the sulfonyl groups of p(MsAz-r-sBsAz) affords the first example of LPEI by living, controlled AROP. The later work in this dissertation focuses on the AROP of N-sulfonylazetidines in route to linear poly(trimethylenimine) (LPTMI). Initially, the polymerization of N-(methanesulfonyl)azetidine (MsAzet) was investigated. The kinetics of this polymerization were studied, and the reaction found to be first order with respect to monomer and the number of active chain ends remains constant throughout the polymerization. Interestingly, activation occurs at the methanesulfonyl group, leading to polymer branching. This branching precludes p(MsAzet) from being a precursor to LPTMI. By more judicial selection of N-sulfonylazetidine monomers, a living, controlled AROP approach to LPTMI was achieved by copolymerizing two similar N-sulfonylazetidines, N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)azetidine (pTsAzet) and N-(o-tolylsulfonyl)azetidine (oTsAzet), to produce a statistical copolymer. Copolymerization was required as the homopolymers resulting from these monomers were insoluble in all common solvents. The copolymerization is living and controlled, producing polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. The kinetics of the copolymerization, and the reactivity ratios of the two monomers, were studied and the sulfonyl groups of the polymer were removed to provide the first example of LPTMI by living, controlled AROP. Finally, the high barrier to polymerization of N-sulfonylazetidines was utilized to produce block copolymers, containing no homopolymer impurities, in a closed system in which all monomers are present in solution at the time of initiation. ItemApplication of hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry in protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions(University of Alabama Libraries, 2016) Guan, Siqi; Frantom, Patrick A.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaProteins are not static objects. They have a great variety of internal motions with different amplitudes and different timescales. These internal motions play an important role in catalytic processes. Therefore, the existence of an intimate relationship between protein dynamics and protein function is widely accepted. Due to the significance of protein dynamics, techniques have been developed to study protein dynamics including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS). Compared with NMR and EPR spectroscopy, MS has less stringent sample requirements, including protein concentration and protein size. Moreover, the mass accuracy, sensitivity, and faster data analysis also have contributed to the rapid growth of MS based techniques. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), a combination of HPLC and MS, has become a common and sensitive tool to probe protein structural flexibility and solution dynamics. In this dissertation, HDX-MS was applied to study dynamic changes of proteins due to substrate binding and protein-protein interactions. The GT-A glycosyltransferase glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtGpgS) catalyzes the first step of biosynthesis of 6-O-methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLPs), which are essential to growth and existence of mycobacterium. The HDX-MS data revealed that the two substrates UDP-glucose (UDPG) and 3-phosphoglycerate (3PGA) can bind to MtGpgS independently, disagreeing with the previous proposal that 3PGA can only bind to MtGpgS after UDPG. Moreover, 3PGA was found to bind to or allosterically affect the UDPG binding site. Furthermore, the HDX-MS data revealed that MtGpgS may provide a necessary conformation for UDPG binding, while it goes through a large conformational change on 3PGA binding. The GT-B glycosyltransferase MshA from Corynebacterium glutamicum (CgMshA) catalyzes the initial step of mycothiol biosynthesis. A large conformational change was observed in CgMshA on nucleotide binding by superimposing APO structure of CgMshA and complex structure with UDP. HDX-MS was utilized to study conformational changes of CgMshA on substrate binding from the aspect of dynamics, providing a complementary to static structures. The HDX-MS data showed that both substrates uridine diphosphate glucose-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and 1-L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (I1P) can bind to CgMshA independently, but the I1P binding is not productive since it binds to an uncorrect site. Moreover, the I1P binding can lead to dynamic changes of CgMshA, while only UDP-GlcNAc can induce the major conformational change of CgMshA. Furthermore, the 3PGA binding cannot induce further dynamic changes of CgMshA in the presence of UDP. HDX-MS was also employed to study dynamic changes of protein complex SufBC2D from Escherichia coli on ADP/Mg2+ binding. This complex is responsible for Fe-S cluster assembly under oxidative stress. The crystal structure of SufBC2D complex has been determined, while little dynamic information is known. So HDX-MS was applied to study dynamic changes of the SufBC2D complex. The HDX-MS data revealed that SufC has a significant conformational change, which may be required by ATP binding and hydrolysis. Moreover, SufB and SufD are detected to have dynamic changes due to SufC conformational changes. These dynamic changes suggest that SufB-SufD protomer may have a conformational change in order to provide a suitable conformation for Fe-S cluster assembly. This work demonstrates that HDX-MS can be effectively used to study protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions, as well as the accompanying changes in structural dynamics. HDX-MS data detects substrate binding mechanism and conformational changes that are not available through x-ray crystallography. With these advantages, HDX-MS has been applied in study of protein structure and dynamics, studying protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions, protein folding, as well as protein therapeutics discovery and development. ItemApplications of polyamidoamine dendrimers in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(University of Alabama Libraries, 2009) Zhu, Huizhen; Thrasher, Joseph S.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaDendrimers are highly branched macromolecules with well-ordered three- dimensional architectures. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM), the most common class of dendrimers, have been widely studied due primarily to the following three features: 1) the interior amine and amide groups that can interact with ionic metal precursors through ligand exchange reactions; 2) the presence of an interior void space in the higher generation dendrimers; and 3) the exterior primary amine groups that permit further functionaliztion. These unique structural features have inspired many potential applications. This dissertation describes two applications of PAMAM dendrimers in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). First, in an effort to improve the utility of Pt in PEMFCs, PAMAM G4 was used as both a template and a stabilizer to synthesize dendrimer encapsulated Pt nanoparticles (Pt DENs) by photoreduction. These nanoparticles are highly monodisperse, exhibit high specific activity for the oxygen reduction reaction, and are inert to methanol oxidation, showing great potential for application in PEMFCs. Then, a simplified membrane electrode assembly (MEA) has been fabricated by the electrostatic self-assembly between Nafion® and Pt DENs and characterized. Two methods were proposed to increase Pt loading: layer-by-layer self-assembly and immobilization of Pt DENs and carbon powder on carbon fibers. Approximately 80 layers were proposed to reach the required loading using a dipping machine. Immobilization of Pt DENs and carbon powder simultaneously on carbon fibers can easily be achieved by electrochemical coupling, which is promising for replacing the conventional method of electrode fabrication. Secondly, in order to reduce the methanol crossover in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), PAMAM G0 doped Nafion® membranes were prepared. Direct TEM imaging of the Naifon® embedded with nanoparticles demonstrates that PAMAM G0 can penetrate into the bulk of Nafion® through cluster channels to re-organize the distribution of sulfonate clusters by interacting with the sulfonic acid groups in different clusters. The presence of PAMAM G0 in the Nafion® membrane causes reduction of both methanol permeability and proton conductivity, but a very beneficial trade off can be reached when a doping concentration of 10⁻⁴ M PAMAM G0 is used. The fuel cell performance is much improved When Nafion® was treated with 10⁻⁴ M PAMAM G0. ItemApproaches to the Synthesis of Qinghaosu(University of Alabama Libraries, 1984) Muse, David Earl; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThe object of this research was to develop new syntheses of bicyclic peroxides and to apply these new methods to the total synthesis of qinghaosu (Arteannuin A), a previously reported anti-malarial compound. 4 Qinghaosu has shown clinical activity in humans against chloroquineresistant strains of malaria. The most challenging feature of qinghaosu, and the biologically active portion of the compound was the peroxide bridge. ItemAzobenzene and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone donor-acceptor complexation and analysis of the magnetic anisotropy of the nitroso substituent in aromatic systems(University of Alabama Libraries, 2015) Reach, Savannah; Blackstock, Silas C.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThe first part of this thesis describes the evaluation of a new electron donor-acceptor (DA) bond between azobenzene (AB) with the electron deficient quinone 2,3-dichloro-4,5-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ), the former acting as an electron-donor and the latter as an electron acceptor. A novel feature of AB is that it may exist in one of two interconvertable isomer forms, cis-AB (contracted structure) and trans-AB (extended structure). Since both of these isomers have different shapes and electronic properties, my research is designed to test the binding of the cis/trans AB isomers to DDQ in solution. Another goal is to grow cocrystals of the AB isomers with DDQ for imaging these molecular aggregates in the cocrystal state by X-ray diffraction analysis. AB/DDQ association in solution is observed optically for the trans-isomer as newly formed red complexes. Concentration of the red solutions results in trans-AB/DDQ cocrystals whose X-ray diffraction structure has been determined. Attempts to cocrystallize cis-AB/DDQ complexes have been attempted, so far without success. The second part of this thesis involves experimental and computational studies of nitrosobenzenes to evaluate the dramatic anisotropic magnetic shielding effects of the nitroso group on the NMR chemical shifts of nearby nuclei. The large magnetic anisotropy gives a ∆∂ of 3.5 ppm for the syn and anti ortho 1H NMR signals and a ∆∂ of 34 ppm for the syn and anti ortho 13C NMR signals. Fifty-six proton chemical shifts in 14 nitrosobenzene structures have been calculated using B3LYP density functional theory with several different basis sets and correlated with experimental values. In addition, forty-four proton chemical shifts from a series of simple aromatic structures lacking the nitroso group (e.g. styrene, benzaldehyde, benzonitrile, and anilines) have been added to the correlation for comparison. The best linear fit of the calculated shifts to experimental values for 1H-NMR is obtained for B3LYP/6-31G*, with an rms deviation of 0.074 ppm for 1H NMR. For 13C NMR, the best linear fit is for B3LYP/DZVP2//TZVP, with an rms deviation of 3.140 ppm. By modeling NMR shifts of nitrosobenzene, we aim to better understand the basis of the large magnetic anisotropy observed for the nitroso group. ItemBenzoic acid (C₆H₆COOH)(University of Alabama Libraries, 1920) Hood, Edward P.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThe acid juice of apples and various other fruits was employed for preparing different medicines before any attempt was made to isolate the acid itself. Free benzoic acid, however, obtained by subliming benzoin, was discovered and minutely discussed by the French physician, Blaise de Vigenial (1522-96) toward the end of the sixteenth century. Benzoic acid was discovered in gum benzoin in 1608 and prepared from urine by Sholle in 1785. Its composition was established by Liebig and Wohler's classical research in 1832. In 1832 Wohler discovered the relationship between benzoic acid and hippuric acid, and in 1832, Liebig and Wohler determined the true composition of benzoic acid and established its relation to the other benzoyl compounds. ItemBorafluorenes and polyborafluorenes boron doped varients of fluorene(University of Alabama Libraries, 2017) Adams, Ian; Rupar, Paul A.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaA series of novel boron containing variants of fluorene were synthesized. Boron was incorporated synthetically via lithium halogen exchange and Grignard reaction pathways. Once incorporated, the borafluorene could be polymerized or undergo further functionalization via Yamamoto and Stille coupling reactions. This incorporation of boron into a conjugated system imparted Lewis acidic and electron deficient properties into a conjugated system. It is our hope that this will dope fluorene and create novel n-type semiconductors. A novel polymer of borafluorene, poly(9-borafluorene) (P9BF) was synthesized. HOMO and LUMO levels of P9BF were estimated by cyclic voltammetry. As predicted in prior DFT studies, P9BF has a reduced band gap and a lower lying LUMO compared with polyfluorene. To examine how the HOMO and LUMO levels of borafluorene systems could be tuned, copolymers of 9-borafluorene were synthesized. Four of the copolymers were a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type copolymers. A borafluorene-fluorene (P9BF-OF) copolymer and borafluorene-diketopyrrolopyrrole (P9BF-DPP), as an acceptor-acceptor (AA) copolymer were also synthesized. The series of DA copolymers showed higher energy HOMO and LUMO levels in correlation with the relative donating ability of the donor monomer. P9BF-OF has a reduced LUMO level in comparison with P9BF. P9BF-DPP has a very low band gap (1.8eV), with absorption well into the near-IR region. To examine ways to make borafluorene more air stable, a series of borafluorenes bearing bismethylmethoxyphenyl (BMMP) ligands were investigated. Interestingly, ii bismethylmethoxyphenyl-borafluorene (BMMP-BF) exhibits an exceptionally large Stokes shift of 16000 cm-1. To extend the conjugation and change the Stokes shift, thiophene containing derivatives BMMP-BF-T, BMMP-BF-2T, and BMMP-BF-3T were synthesized. These thiophene containing compounds exhibited anomalous two wavelength fluorescence. During our fluoride titration experiments, we noticed spectral impurities when using tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as our fluoride source. Examining this more closely, we found that commercial samples of TBAF were found to absorb light at 295 and 370 nm and fluoresce as 435 nm. This was not expected for analytically pure TBAF, so we concluded that there must be an impurity present in commercial TBAF. The source of this impurity was found to be I3- which occurs from the oxidation of I-. ItemCarbohydrate sensing using boronic acid modified polymers(University of Alabama Libraries, 2019) Liang, Xiaoli; Bonizzoni, Marco; University of Alabama TuscaloosaPolyelectrolytes have attained a more prominent role in the design of supramolecular systems in recent years. In particular, commercially available poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been widely used because they have high loading capacities and good solubility in water. We focus here on using optical spectroscopy to investigate the application of PAMAM dendrimer derivatives as receptors in carbohydrate sensing, and to study the multivalent behavior of receptors covalently appended to the surface of these macromolecules. We then extended the design principles obtained from this work to linear water-soluble anionic polyelectrolytes developed in collaboration with the Kharlampieva group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), using polymethacrylate-acrylamide co-polymers synthesized by their group. In chapters 2 and 3, we describe a carbohydrate sensing system that can operate in neutral water, using covalently modified polyelectrolytes as receptors, and common commercially available dyes as optical signaling units. Particularly, in chapter 2, boronic acid modified PAMAM dendrimers were used as receptors to differentiate common monosaccharides in water at millimolar concentration. This is a significant improvement in affinity and sensitivity over simple boronic acid receptors, particularly for work in aqueous environment, which is considered a challenging medium for carbohydrate detection. In chapter 3, these design concepts were also extended to using boronic acid modified polymethacrylate-acrylamide copolymers synthesized at UAB. Binding affinity trends of carbohydrates to boronic acid moieties were then investigated from a fundamental perspective. In chapter 4, the multivalent behavior of boronic acid moieties on surface-modified PAMAM dendrimers was characterized in detail to determine the factors influencing the onset of multivalent behavior, including the surface density of receptor sites and the overall size of the polymeric scaffold. ItemCatalytic small molecule reduction using late transition metal complexes of carbon and nitrogen donor chelates(University of Alabama Libraries, 2017) Siek, Sopheavy; Papish, Elizabeth T.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaHydrogenation reactions can be used to store energy in chemical bonds, and if these reactions are reversible that energy can be released on demand. A new bidentate chelating ligand was designed and synthesized for this project, using an N-heterocyclic carbene ring bound directly to a pyridinol ring (NHC-pyOR). This new ligand was used to make iridium complexes that were studied as catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO2 and dehydrogenation of formic acid. For comparison, analogous bipy derived iridium and ruthenium complexes were also tested. In general, the NHC-pyOR complexes demonstrated modest activity, where hydroxyl-pyridines found in the bipy derived systems are more active for CO2 hydrogenation under basic conditions. However, the trends were quite different for formic acid dehydrogenation reaction which will be discussed in Chapter 2. Other ruthenium (II) and iridium (III) complexes of the NHC-pyOR ligand with difference counter anions from above complexes were also synthesized. The ruthenium complexes were tested for their ability to accelerate CO2 (de)hydrogenation, but our studies show that these complexes all undergo transformations in solution and thus they are not true catalysts, but rather pre-catalysts. The use of new tridentate pincer ligands derived from NHC and pyridinol is also described. A new ligand containing (NHC-pyOR-NHC) rings binding to a metal with the pyridinol derivative were synthesized. A series of metal complexes of the type LnM were synthesized (n = 1 and 2; M = Fe2+, Co3+, and Ru2+). Preliminary results of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO show that ruthenium complexes are the most active catalysts followed by cobalt and iron, respectively. The activation of carbon dioxide and nitrite utilizing bio-inspired and proton responsive catalysts were also studied with tris(triazolyl)hydroborate (Ttz) complexes of zinc(II) and copper(II). For the biomimetic zinc complexes for CO2 activation, the synthetic result was found to be greatly depend on the steric bulk of Ttz ligand which will be discussed in detail in Chapter 6. Moreover, the electrochemical reduction of Ttz-Cu(II) complexes in the presence and absence of a proton source shows processes that are relevant to enzymatic nitrite reduction which also will be studied in Chapter 7. ItemCharacterization and catalytic applications of silver nanoparticles supported on hierarchically porous SiO_2 and Co_3O_4 monoliths(University of Alabama Libraries, 2017) Yildirim, Yasemin; Bakker, Martin G.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaHierarchically porous materials are of great interest in such applications as catalysis, drug delivery, chromatography, and electrochemical sensor arrays due to properties such as high surface area, large void volume, and tunable surface chemistry. In this study, we give the detailed report of the synthesis of supported Ag nanoparticles by nanocasting on to hierarchically porous SiO2 (silica) and Co3O4 (cobalt oxide) monoliths, as well as the use of these materials as heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation and oxidation reactions. In the preliminary work, we investigated the synthesis of Ag supported on hierarchically porous SiO2 and Co3O4 monoliths, and the catalytic activity of these monoliths for the hydrogenation of MB (methylene blue) and MO (methyl orange) dyes in the presence of NaBH4 (sodium borohydride). The SiO2 monoliths were synthesized using a sol-gel technique. The Co3O4 monoliths were prepared by nanocasting, using the SiO2 monoliths as a template. The loading of Ag nanoparticles on the SiO2 and Co3O4 monoliths was done by a solution infiltration method using aqueous AgNO3 (silver nitrate) solution followed by reduction with ethylene glycol and hydrazine hydrate. Such monoliths also were used as continuous flow monolithic microreactors for the catalytic activity and stability studies for the hydrogenation of EO (eosin-Y) dye in the presence of NaBH4. Finally, the use of these monoliths for the oxidation of cyclohexene was investigated including the effects of temperature, oxidant, catalyst loading, and substrate to oxidant ratio. All these studies are presented in different sections depending on the different synthesis, procedures, and catalytic activity occurring in each heterogeneous catalyst. ItemCharacterization and thermoelectric performance of polymer/inorganic hybrid films using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques(University of Alabama Libraries, 2019) Sutch, Tabitha Patricia; Szulczewski, Greg J.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThe main goal of this dissertation was to investigate the thermoelectric performance of films of silver telluride (Ag2Te), bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) and bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowires (NWs) dispersed in P(NDI2OD-T2). We hypothesize that the electrical properties of the films made with Ag2Te, Bi2S3, and Bi2Te3 will be n-type and behave like composite materials. Ag2Te was synthesized to make three different lengths of NWs. Powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that β-Ag2Te was synthesized with the anticipated stoichiometry. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of Ag2Te NWs in P(NDI2OD-T2) revealed that the longest Ag2Te NWs produced homogeneous composites whereas the shorter Ag2Te NWs phase-separated. Electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficients for each composite film were determined and theoretical models were used to investigate charge-transport behavior. Seebeck coefficients confirmed that all composites were n-type. The longest Ag2Te NWs produced the highest electrical conductivities with parallel transport behavior and are promising to the field of thermoelectrics. Bi2S3 and Bi2Te3 NWs were synthesized, and their stoichiometry and structures were confirmed using XRD and EDS. SEM images of the NW/P(NDI2OD-T2) films revealed that both Bi2S3 and Bi2Te3 phase-separated. The electrical conductivity for each composite film was determined and theoretical models were applied. The electrical conductivity of the Bi2S3 and Bi2Te3 composites were slightly higher than pristine P(NDI2OD-T2), further indicating that the NWs phase-separated. Seebeck coefficients for both systems confirmed that the composites were n-type. Despite the various strategies for improving the film morphology, composites made with Bi2Te3 and Bi2S3 NWs did not produce promising results. The spin-dynamics of P(NDI2OD-T2) doped with cobaltocene were studied with continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Additionally, the electrical conductivity of cobaltocene doped P(NDI2OD-T2) films increased several orders of magnitude compared to pristine P(NDI2OD-T2). A sputter depth profile in conjunction with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze how the dopant dispersed in the polymer matrix. Temperature-dependent pulsed EPR of two different doping concentrations suggested two different relaxation rates. Overall, this study investigated the temperature-dependent spin dynamics of cobaltocene doped P(NDI2OD-T2) films and lays the foundation for further investigations on n-doped polymer system. ItemCharacterization of the carotenoid cis-bixin(University of Alabama Libraries, 2018) Tay-Agbozo, Sefadzi; Street, Shane C.; Bowman, Michael K.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaBixin, a carotenoid found in annatto, Bixa orellana, is unique among natural carotenoids by being sparingly water-soluble. Bixin free radicals have been stabilized on the surface of silica alumina and TiO2 and characterized by pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR). Least-square fitting of experimental ENDOR spectra calculated from density functional theory (DFT) calculations hyperfine couplings characterized the radicals trapped on silica alumina and TiO2. DFT predicts that the trans bixin radical cation is more stable than the cis bixin radical cation by 1.26 kcal/mol. While this small energy difference is consistent with the 26% trans and 23% cis radical cations in the ENDOR spectrum for silica alumina, the TiO2 spectrum could not be fitted due to poor signal. The ENDOR spectrum for silica alumina shows several neutral radicals formed by loss of a H+ ion from the 9, 9′, 13, or 13′ methyl group, a common occurrence in all water-insoluble carotenoids studied in literature. In addition, the continuous wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy signal of bixin on silica alumina was intense prior to irradiation. Upon irradiation, the intensity is reduced 4-fold. On the other hand, unlike on TiO2 there was no signal prior to irradiation but signal was observed upon irradiation. The extinction coefficient bixin in chloroform is determined to be 1.1 x 105 ± 0.49 and 1.0 x 105 M-1cm-1 ±0.05 at 472 and 503 nm, respectively, while the redox potential in THF is found to be 0.94 ± 0.01V by cyclic voltammogram (CV) measurements. Based on the irreversibility of the CV, the bixin radical cation is estimated to have a short lifetime and decay rapidly at ambient temperature. ItemThe Chemical Refining of Natural Graphite(University of Alabama Libraries, 1930) Anderson, Ross Eugene; University of Alabama TuscaloosaIt is the purpose of this paper to present some of the more important aspects of the graphite industry, such as countries producing graphite, economic conditions, uses of graphite, and the nature of graphite deposits; and it is the special purpose of this paper to present the experimental efforts and results of the writer to chemically purify natural Alabama graphite, along the general lines of the Lloyd-Kennedy Process. *NOTE: This is the best available copy.* ItemChemistry of Butenolides Derived from D-Ribonolactone(University of Alabama Libraries, 1988) Blazis, Vincent Joseph; University of Alabama TuscaloosaAcetomycin was first reported by Prelog and coworkers as an antibacterial agent isolated from Streptomyces ramulosus, strain ETH 17633. This natural product has been subsequently found in culture of Streptomyces ramulosus Tue-32. The stereochemistry and absolute configuration of acetomycin was established by X-ray crystallography carried out in our laboratories on the antibiotic itself and elsewhere on a bromo derivative. ItemChromium, question of essentiality for mammals: its subcellular mechanism, toxicity, uses as a probe for DNA binding(University of Alabama Libraries, 2011) Rhodes, Nicholas Ryan; Vincent, John B.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaChromium was proposed to be an essential trace element over 50 years ago and was accepted as an essential element for over thirty years. Several studies were performed to address the question of essentiality. Male Zucker lean rats were housed in specially designed metal-free cages for six months and fed the purified AIN-93G diet with no added chromium in the mineral mix component of the diet, the standard purified AIN-93G diet, the standard purified AIN-93G diet supplemented with 200 Μg Cr/kg, or the standard purified AIN-93G diet supplemented with 1000 Μg Cr/kg. This study revealed that a diet with as little chromium as reasonably possible had no effect on body composition or glucose metabolism or insulin sensitivity compared to a chromium \"sufficient\" diet. The diets supplemented with Cr had beneficial effects on the rats; the effects at these doses are pharmacological effects, the mechanism of which requires further research. Zucker obese and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were used to establish whether rats under stress (diabetes and obesity associated insulin resistance) have altered levels of chromium absorption compared to Zucker lean rats. If these conditions lead to increases in chromium absorption, then increased urinary Cr losses resulting from the conditions are unlikely to lead to chromium deficiency. The study revealed that increases in urinary Cr loss associated with insulin resistance or diabetes are offset by increased absorption. Together with the results of other recent studies, these results clearly indicate that chromium can no longer be considered an essential element. Chromium(III) picolinate, [Cr(pic)_3 ], is a commonly used nutritional supplement in humans, that has also been approved for use in animals. Health concerns have arisen over the use of [Cr(pic)_3 ] in high doses. Male CD-1 mice were used to further assess the potential for reproductive or developmental toxicity at a dose of 200 mg/kg/day [Cr(pic)_3 ]. The results suggest that paternal dietary exposure to [Cr(pic)_3 ] has little potential for adverse reproductive effects. Studies with chromium nicotinate and chromium basic carboxylate complexes containing trifluoroacetate, 3-fluoropyridine, 3-trifluoromethylpyridine, and 4-trifluoromethylpyridine are described. ItemChromium: binding studies with transferrin and peptide eeeegdd and its effect on colorectal cancer(University of Alabama Libraries, 2016) Deng, Ge; Vincent, John B.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaChromium as the trivalent ion has been proposed as an essential element for decades. Although that status has recently been discredited, doses of Cr3+ have been shown to generate improvements in insulin sensitivity and blood cholesterol levels in animals that have problems with their glucose and lipid metabolism systems, especially in type 2 diabetic rodent models. The mechanism for these effects at a molecular level is unknown. Transferrins are a class of protein that can reversibly bind 2 equivalents of metal ions. Biologically, transferrins are the main iron transport proteins in plasma. A role for transferrin in the delivery Cr3+ from plasma to tissues has been proposed. Studies have shown that Cr3+ readily binds to the two metal-binding sites in the two lobes of apotransferrin. The Cr3+ binding is accompanied by intense changes in the transferrin’s ultraviolet spectrum. This intense changes arises from chromic ion binding to two tyrosine residues in the two iron-binding sites of transferrin and allow the binding of Cr3+ to transferrin to be monitored. The rate at which Cr3+ binds to transferrin and the stability of Cr-transferrin recently has received considerable attention. In vitro spectroscopic studies previously found that the generation of Cr2-transferrin needs two weeks to guarantee a stoichiometric amount of Cr3+ binding. However, this study indicates that in the presence of 25 mM (bi)carbonate, the concentration in human blood, two Cr3+ ions bind rapidly and tightly to apotransferrin. Glycation of transferrin alters how tightly the protein binds iron and may alter the conformation of diferric transferrin, presumably changing its ability to deliver the iron to tissues. Given that Cr3+ complexes has been proposed as nutritional supplements to improve symptoms of type 2 diabetic subjects, understanding the ability of glycated transferrin to bind and transport Cr is significant, especially for determining the appropriate dose of Cr. This study examined the binding ability of Cr3+ to glycated serum transferrin and the transport of Cr in vivo by glycated transferrin. The results suggest that glycation of transferrin in subjects with elevated blood glucose levels should lower the ability of Cr from pharmacological agents to enter tissues. Additionally, these studies with glycated transferrin also indicate that heat treatment of transferrin makes dramatic change on its conformation and Cr binding ability. ItemComparative Reactivities of Axial and Equatorial Carbinol Derivatives(University of Alabama Libraries, 1961) Williams, George C.; University of Alabama TuscaloosaIn an earlier work, rates of reaction of iodide ion with cyclopentylmethyl bromide and cyclohexylmethyl bromide in dry acetone were determined. These two compounds reacted at about the same rate, but there were differences in the entropies of activation and in the energies of activation. Cyclopentylmethyl bromide was found to have the lower entropy of activation. This lower value suggests that it is more difficult for the cyclopentylmethyl bromide molecule to assume the transition state. Since the favorable conformation for the bromomethyl group in cyclohexylmethyl bromide is the equatorial one, and since the bromomethyl group of cyclopentylmethyl bromide is similarly oriented, it was decided to study bromides in which the bromomethyl group is rigidly held in the axial or in the equatorial position. Then, by determining rates of reaction of iodide ion with these bromides, the effects of the different conformations would be apparent.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Evaluation Product : Multispectral Thermal Imager (MTI)\nThe Multispectral Thermal Imager is a space-based research and development project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Nonproliferation and National Security.

Galileo clearly had him in mind when drawing his portrait of Simplicio, the Aristotelian stalking horse in his two great dialogues. Yet at the time, Cremonini was considered one the greatest philosophers of the age, commanding a salary at the University of Padua double that offered to Galileo after his spectacular telescopic discoveries. In this book - originally a dissertation - Heinrich Kuhn attempts to reconcile Cremonini's two reputations and to give him a place not merely in the history of ideas as the opponent of Galileo and of the new philosophy, but more importantly in the history of philosophy itself. Unfortunately, as Kuhn notes, Cremonini never articulated a comprehensive rebuttal of the new philosophy, or even a systematic account of his own Aristotelianism. Instead, both in his independent works and in the commentaries on Aristotle required for his teaching - beyond the exposition of the text - he confined himself to particular topics of controversy within natural philosophy.\nAfter a thorough account of his life and circumstances of his career teaching natural philosophy at the University of Padua, Kuhn describes Cremonini's contributions to a number of these controversies, documenting them with working editions of extracts from his unpublished works. The occasion of many of these controversies turns out to have been Cremonini's opposition not to the new philosophy of Galileo and others, but to Galenic medicine when it disagreed with Aristotelian natural philosophy. The points of conflict included the perennial controversy over the human intellect and the roles of the agent and possible intellects, Galen's ascription of materialist causes to the soul and its dispositions, the origin of body heat, and whether the nerves originate in the brain (as Galen taught) or in the heart (as Aristotle taught). Galileo would later use Cremonini's stand on this last as an example of slavish adherence to Aristotle in the teeth of the dearest evidence of the senses. As documentation, Kuhn has edited extracts from the commentary on Aristotle's De generatione animalium 2. 3, parts of the commentary on Aristotle's De anima 3, and the entire Question on Whether the Soul} Character Follows the Temperament of the Body (Quaestio utrum animi mores sequantur corporis temperamentum).\nIn astronomy, Cremonini repudiated not only Copernicus, but all mathematical innovations since Aristotle, rejecting even the epicycles and deferents of Ptolemy in favor of Aristotle's simple cosmology of homocentric spheres. For him, Aristotle's cosmology and his natural philosophy in general were not necessarily true (since other explanations were possible), but they were true nonetheless since they best explained the phenomena. For Cremonini, then, their truth rests not so much on Aristotle's authority as on reason itself.\nIronically, it was this intransigent Aristotelianism that brought Cremonini to the attention of the Inquisition. Called up to answer for his teachings on the eternity of the world, the souls of the celestial spheres, the essential unity of the human mind and body, and on the merely possible immortality of the human soul, Cremonini refused to bring Aristotle into conformity with orthodoxy. He successfully defended himself as simply interpreting Aristotle correctly, which was exactly what the University paid him to do. Nevertheless, he claimed that his own religious views were entirely orthodox. According to Kuhn, Cremonini was neither merely a paper philosopher nor a closet atheist, but a philosopher who recognized the limits of both natural philosophy and theology.\nThe Inquisition was likely more sympathetic to Cremonini's debunking of astrology. In arguing against astrological influences, Cremonini credited the heavenly bodies with only two forms of influence here below - light and movement - and relegated all the rest to superstition. Shrewdly, he suggested that astrology arose as a form of political control by the few of the credulous many. Kuhn edits excerpts from his commentary on Aristotle's Meteora 1 to document these views.\nFinally, Kuhn has also edited here the inventory of Cremonini's books and the Paduan arts rotulus for 1628-1629, and compiled a complete catalogue of Cremonini's works.\nThis is a book of considerable scholarship: thoroughly researched, exhaustively presented, and fully documented, it contains the definitive materials for all future work on Cremonini. That said, there is much here that I could do without, including the ruminations on scientific revolutions, paradigm shifts, and overlapping domains of knowledge - all illustrated with puzzling diagrams - and the discussion of Hegel's history of philosophy and whether Cremonini fits into it. In general, the book is rebarbative: it bristles with intrusive and digressive footnotes, it constantly harangues with bold-face, italics, underlining, and quotation marks, and its tone throughout is excitable and disputatious. If this dissertation had been thoroughly and ruthlessly edited, we would now have the definitive book on Cremonini.\nW. R.

We will 1) develop an elementary storybook and other elementary classroom materials that support ocean and Great Lakes literacy, 2) train pre-service elementary teachers to use this Storybook, 3) develop undergraduate activities that support the NOAA Education Plan and Ocean Literacy in teacher education courses at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), and 4) train teachers in Detroit and Dexter (MI) and Golden (CO) to use an elementary storybook and related activities that support Ocean Literacy. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and oceanographic experts at EMU and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) will partner with us to develop the elementary storybook. This elementary resource will be freely available to all teachers, via the internet (see http://www.windows2universe.org/teacher_resources/ocean_education/curre…). Our second objective is that teachers will relate ocean and Great Lakes science to theirs and their students' lives. We will accomplish this by 1) producing teacher-friendly web resources that make Great Lakes data from GLERL accessible for use by elementary teachers and 2) teaching pre-service teachers to interpret these data during undergraduate, inquiry activities at EMU. Our third objective is to measure environmental, ocean and Great Lakes literacy among pre-service teachers and their students before and after implementation of targeted instruction. We will accomplish this via 1) assessing pre- and in-service teachers' content knowledge and ability to apply content knowledge in ocean and Great Lakes science, 2) assessing elementary children for content knowledge and ability to apply content knowledge in ocean and Great Lakes science, 3) performance assessments of pre- and in-service teachers' abilities to interpret environmental data, 4) standardized tests of Earth Science content knowledge, and 5) surveys of pre- and in-service teachers' attitudes towards ocean literacy and supporting materials.\nResilience from the Youth Up\nAs climate impacts ratchet up across the United States, the Great Lakes region tends to fly under the national radar. While the Great Lakes do not experience hurricanes, rising sea levels, or large-scale wildfires, the local climate has become increasingly erratic in recent years. The region, however, is one of the most unprepared in the country to cope with these impacts. A recent Grosvenor report (2014) on climate resilience among 50 global cities ranked Detroit last among 11 U.S. cities for adaptability and only better than three cities for overall resilience, which incorporates both climate vulnerability and adaptability factors. Of U.S. cities with more than 100,000 residents, Detroit has the highest percentage of African-American residents (80.7%, U.S. Census 2016). Still recovering from bankruptcy, the city also has a 39% poverty rate, which impacts over 56% of children (ibid). These socio-economic factors, coupled with other environmental justice concerns, such as a centrally located incinerator and an asthma rate of 15.5% among adults resulting in over 3,000 hospitalizations annually, make Detroit residents particularly vulnerable to climate impacts. This project will address the urgent need to increase resilience by working with high school students and teachers in Detroit and southeast Michigan to increase their awareness of climate change and develop projects that help their schools and neighborhoods become resilient to increased occurrence and intensity of heat waves, storm events, and flooding. Using NOAA assets, including GLISA localized climate data and Sea Grant outreach and education expertise, high school students and teachers will partner with climate scientists to explore local climate impacts firsthand and to develop resilience strategies and projects that protect vulnerable households and neighborhoods and contribute to broader sustainability initiatives. The City of Detroit seeks this involvement as it ramps up a new Office of Sustainability and seeks proposals to develop the city's first Sustainability Framework. The effort is a partnership with EcoWorks, Great Lakes Integrated Sciences + Assessments (GLISA), Michigan Sea Grant (MISG), Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition (SEMIS), Eastern Michigan University, Civic Research Services, Inc., and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In each of the next three years, 200 students from various high schools in the Detroit and Ypsilanti areas will participate in weekly activities related to the grant. The four primary objectives of the program include: 1) Engage students in assessing and quantifying climate vulnerabilities of their schools, neighborhoods, and surrounding community. 2) Using a place-based education (PBE) model, prepare educators to engage students in creating plans and completing projects that increase community resilience. 3) Empower high school students to teach residents about local climate impacts and increase understanding of resilience strategies to mitigate extreme weather events or other environmental hazards. 4) Contribute to the completion and implementation of local sustainability and climate action plans in Southeast Michigan.\nThe Global Decision Room: An Interactive Science-on-a-Sphere Installation\nThe Orlando Science Center has assembled a project team to create a unique environmental science learning tool: THE GLOBAL DECISION ROOM. Founded on, and enhancing, the Science On a Sphere (SOS) digital globe, the Global Decision Room is an interactive theatre that puts visitors in the role of being decision makers on behalf of the behavior of large populations on the planet. The results of global decisions relating to the environment are seen played out on SOS. The interactive strategy that is created for the Global Decision Room will be flexible and well integrated into the SOS software platform, making it possible to design other educational story scenarios that can use the same system. The Global Decision Room is designed as a multi-use, high impact, exciting content delivery platform. This proposal is based on a well developed initial educational premise, but the resulting construction of the Global Decision Room will be the perfect environment for other educational topics of interest to NOAA's outreach strategy. As new datasets become available in the future, new interactive stories will be developed for the Global Decision Room. The Orlando project brings with it significant additional funding from the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the Orlando Utilities Commission, and the Florida Hydrogen Initiative, which will greatly leverage the funding from NOAA. Partners in the project include a strong technical team from the University of Central Florida and the Florida Solar Energy Center, interactive digital media experts from the Institute for Simulation and Training, the creative design team \"i.d.e.a.s.\" located at Disney-MGM Studios, and the XhibitNet interactive multimedia design team.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "2007 JALBTCX Topographic Lidar: Saipan, CNMI\nThese files contain topographic lidar data collected by the CHARTS system in Saipan,\nCNMI.

I’ve posted up some comments on Bre-X before in connection with audit procedures, consensus, skeptics etc. at Bre-X #1, Bre-X #2 and Bre-X #3. De Guzman is the geologist at the heart of the salting of Bre-X assays, who supposedly committed suicide in March 1987 after the fraud was discovered. I’m also writing this note because I wanted to figure out a way to mention the season finale of 24 (which I watch faithfully.)\nThe season ended with the President giving deniable orders and trying to kill Jack Bauer to remove the connection between the administration and the attack on the Chinese consulate. To avoid assassination, Jack faked his own death in cooperation with his associates and was last seen walking towards Mexico, just after saving Los Angeles from nuclear destruction. Jack had had a long day.\nAs to the faked death: is life imitating art or vice versa? It made some sense that de Guzman might have been murdered, as he was the direct link between the physical fraud and any people that might have sponsored it. It makes sense that he might have pulled a Jack Bauer and faked his own death. But de Guzman’s suicide made no sense. It looks like there is a little more to come in this story.\nSo I figured out how to mention 24. It’s hard to figure out how Jack will get back to CTU to save the world again next year. My guess is that the Chinese will not accept Jack’s convenient death and Jack will have to be found. But who knows? There’s a Canadian connection to 24 – Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer) is a Canadian and apparently some of the writers are. One of my friends won a silent auction at a Toronto charity for a bit part in 24. I watched carefully for him in the background at CTU, but he seems to have been left on the cutting room floor.\nA moral to the Bre-X story, which I posted before and refresh again: I’m convinced that the Bre-X fraud originated not from the financiers, but by the field geologists. Incomes for field geologists in micro-cap companies are very hit and miss; it’s not like being a civil servant. If they sent good news to head office about better and better results, Bre-X could raise more money and keep the exploration funding going. The wheels fell off because, in mining businesses, you can objectively tell eventually whether there is ore or not. For some one on the business side of speculative exploration, even where there is no overt fraud, you have to be wary of your own geologists, who are unconsciously inclined to make the exploration seem more promising than it may actually be.\nThe amount of money being spent on climate research is a big amount. So when UCAR (the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research), who receive a huge amount of federal funding for climate reasearch, issues a national press release announcing that Ammann and Wahl had merely submitted a paper supposedly showing that they had \"confirmed\" the hockey stick, do you think that there is a touch of self-interest in their behavior? Update (Wed. aft.) : Roger Pielke, who knows the institution, suggests in a comment below quite reasonably that the press release probably originated from the self-interest of the individual scientists, rather than corporate self-interest. I don’t view self interest in these matters on behalf of individual scientists in exclusively monetary terms, since people fight over prestige as well as money.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Group Leadership: Efficacy and Effectiveness\nGroup Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice,\nA model of leadership effectiveness including leadership efficacy, anxiety, and self- and collective efficacy for the task was hypothesized and tested in 2 laboratory studies.

Member States are increasingly looking towards environmental taxes to raise prices and to encourage consumers to reduce demand and thus reduce the environmental impacts of energy use. However, it is difficult to define the optimal levels of tax required to meet multiple energy policy objectives: ensuring security of supply; affordable energy; and reducing environmental impacts. Member States have therefore tended to set taxes and adjust levels based on their own experience of fiscal needs and environmental effectiveness.\nChanges in the share of taxation in energy prices are dependent on the form of taxation applied. For example, Value Added Tax (VAT) applied as a % of end-user prices ensures that the share remains unchanged, whilst the share of taxation from an excise duty applied per litre of fuel will decrease as the price of energy increases. Hence the decrease in the share of transport fuels has been driven primarily by an increasing global price for oil (see EN31) which has risen faster than any tax changes. For example, the fuel duty escalator in the UK, aimed at keeping fuel tax rising ahead of inflation to curb pollution and congestion, was stopped in 2000.\nDetails of specific tax rates for each Member State are contained in DG TAXUD's (2008) Taxes in Europe Database. For further details of transport fuels and prices see EEA transport indicator TERM21.\nThe proportion of energy taxes in final energy prices is generally lower for industry compared with household and transport users. This reflects concerns for industrial competitiveness. Voluntary agreements and the provision of tax reductions for energy intensive industries are common throughout all Member States. For example, the Danish CO2 tax system offers significantly reduced tax rates to firms that agree to energy conservation measures.\nThe share of taxes in household electricity prices in 2007 varied across member states from a high of 55% in Denmark to 5 % in the case of Malta. The average for the EU-15 is 24%. Similarly, the share in gas prices ranges from 56 % (in Denmark) to 5 % (in the UK) with an EU-15 average of 22 %. The wider differences in taxation in this sector tend to reflect different priorities. Whilst most taxation in the household sector provides some revenue raising, high taxes in Denmark are part of deliberate policy to encourage energy efficiency (following from the earlier oil crises in 1973 and 1979). By contrast, the rate of VAT in the United Kingdom is set at a much lower level as the emphasis is primarily on affordable supplies of energy for all consumers, particularly those with lower incomes.\nTax rates in the new Member States are typically lower, although many have significantly increased tax rates, particularly on transport fuels, during recent years (EEA, 2005). In addition, rises have occurred due to the expiration of a number of temporary derogations from the minimum levels set in the Energy Taxation Directive 2003/96/EC (see COM/2006/0342 final).\nThe share of 'environmental' taxes in total tax revenue varied significantly across EU member states in 2005, from around 11.6 % in Denmark to 5.2 % in Belgium. However, the average share for the EU-15 decreased from 6.9% to 6.4%, with the share of energy taxes (excluding transport) dropping from 5.3% to 4.7%. The change in the percentage of taxation also varied considerably over the period 1995 to 2005, with six member states increasing their share by more than 25%, whilst more than nine member states reduced their share by over 10%. The share of taxes applied directly to pollution/resources is much smaller, with the exception of Denmark and the Netherlands where it accounted for around 2.6% and 1.6% of total revenue, respectively, in 2005.\nA number of countries (such as Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Lithuania) have seen increases in the share of 'environmental taxes' in total tax revenue of over 50% from 1995 to 2005. This has been driven largely by an increase in energy taxes (via a combination of broadening the tax base, increasing existing taxes and introducing new taxes). Whilst growth in taxes on pollution/resources has been more rapid in a number of cases this has been from a very low base. A notable exception is Denmark where the share of pollution/resource taxes in total revenue increased from 0.7% in 1995 to 2.6% in 2005 from the introduction of excise duty on a number of polluting substances (such as nitrogen or certain pesticides).\nThe use of environmental taxes is linked to the issue of Environmental Tax Reform (ETR). This aims to shift the tax burden from welfare-negative taxes (e.g. on labour) to welfare-positive taxes (e.g. on environmentally damaging activities, such as resource use or pollution) as this can lead to a win-win in terms of addressing both environmental and employment issues (European Commission, 2007). Analysis of 6 countries (Denmark, Netherlands, UK, Sweden, Finland, Germany) that implemented ETR (in relation to energy/CO2 taxes) over the period up to 2004 indicated a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of around 2-6% (COMETR, 2007).\nFor references, please go to http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/en32-energy-taxes-1 or scan the QR code.\nPDF generated on 26 Apr 2017, 06:12 PM", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Absolutely, at the present time, you’d find many kinds of go gadget just everywhere.

We planned to sample boulders on the lateral moraine set on the southwest side of Gurreholm Dal. The downslope portions of these moraines are very dissected and difficult to trace, but well-formed at elevations of 350 m a.s.l. We walked to the upvalley limit of the outer moraine at about 410 m a.s.l., where the moraine becomes a small fan deposit. This elevation may approximate a former ELA position. The three main moraines range over some 60 m in elevation. We retrieved four rock samples on the upper moraine, one on the intermediate moraine and one on the lower moraine. These samples will form a sequence for this side of the valley. Six samples turns out to be a record number of samples in one day for Meredith and we are now claming it as a record for Scoresby Sund. An early dinner at 22:00 – we are starting to get the schedule moved back toward normal. We walked 10.7 km and 680 m of relief. It was a full day of hammering on rocks and the arm muscles are developing nicely, but the need for chisel sharpening is getting dire.\n19 Aug 04 – More shells – Konglomeratelv\nWe descended from camp along the east side of Konglomeratelv to collect shells to define the uplift curve. Weather in the morning was partly overcast, but turned sunny in the afternoon. At 105 m a.s.l. we started to find shells and continued to do so down until 36 m a.s.l. We found multiple shell samples from stream exposures but only rarely did we observe shells in their stratigraphic context. We spent considerable time discussing this problem. The species of shell varied with elevation – Mya truncata at higher elevations and more varied at lower elevations. A total of 14 samples put the shell tally in the lead of the rocks. Supper was at 20:30, with time even for hot chocolate. We walked 14.3 km with 780 m of relief.\n20 Aug 04 – A big boulder – Gurreholm Slugt\nWe returned to the area identified as a moraine bank and to the Gurreholm Slugt to measure relic shorelines and sample boulders on the moraine bank. Brenda found the best example of a relic shoreline at about 128 m a.s.l., which may or may not correspond to a sea level of 134 m suggested by Sugden and John in 1965. The general surface texture was observed to change at about 128 m a.s.l., with a smooth surface below and a glacial signature above. On the moraine bank we employed our extensive rock climbing skills toscale the “big boulder” and retrieve a rock sample. Since bigger is better, this was a no-brainer sample that Meredith had been dreaming of for a couple of days. The top was weathered a bit but with a moderate amount of work we got the prized sample. The rock and shell samples from the moraine bank should allow us to date the same feature with two different techniques, providing a cross-check of the methods. We retrieved a total of three rock samples for the day. Since we got home “early” Tom decided to core the small lake above camp. He only got about 15 cm of section with the improvised corer, and it most likely is too young to help this project. We walked 7.7 including the boulder).

The NED data quality in Virginia is relatively low while the data quality in south Texas is high. Therefore, these two areas should represent the full spectrum of delineation results. In addition, both areas are coastal with relatively flat terrain, and thus should provide good insight into the extent to which burning in streams from the National Hydrography Dataset will be necessary.\nIn late November, EROS sent the NED and digital line graphics (DLG) hydrography data (including streams and lakes) for the prototype areas. (Figure 1 - Image of NED data for the prototype areas.) They also sent their AMLs (ARC/INFO scripts) for delineating sub-basins within the 8-digit HUC basins. These scripts are amazingly efficient, with the average HUC requiring only about 3 1/2 to 4 hours processing time. (Figure 2 and Figure 3 - Images of delineation status by HUC in Virginia and Texas prototype areas.) However, the assignment of Pfafstetter IDs is not included in these scripts. Paul Jendrowski has written Avenue scripts (for use in ArcView) to do Pfafstetter codification, but there is still more work to be done in this area.\nOne of the issues we have been working to resolve is whether or not we can use Pfafstetter codification from top to bottom. Our initial idea was to begin with the three-, four-, or five-digit Pfafstetter basins delineated from the 1-km resolution GTOPO30 elevation data, and add Pfafstetter digits as we further divided these basins. However, because of the coarse resolution of the GTOPO30 data, the basins derived from it may not be accurate enough to use as starting points. Seann Reed (OH) recently sent the 400-meter resolution flow direction grids he has developed for three River Forecast Center (RFC) regions. Using the Avenue Pfafstetter scripts, we delineated basins (approximately the size of the 8-digit HUC basins) with Pfafstetter codification. These flow direction grids seem to provide the added resolution necessary to derive reasonable starting point basins, and many of these basins actually correspond to the 8-digit HUC basins. Ideally, we would like to use the 400-meter flow direction grids to determine starting point basins for the entire country. However, this depends on the availability of the 400-meter grids. The other option suggested by Kris Verdin at EROS is to use the HUCs as the starting point basins and then use the Pfafstetter codification within the HUC framework. Thus, each basin would be identified by the 8-digit HUC it is in, plus its own Pfafstetter ID within the HUC basin. These sub-basin IDs would not be as efficient and meaningful as IDs based solely on Pfafstetter codification, but this may be our only alternative. We will be discussing these issues further with Kris Verdin, Seann Reed, and Paul Jendrowski.\nDespite the Pfafstetter issues still to be resolved, the results we are seeing so far are very encouraging. The delineations we have done in Virginia and Texas look EXCELLENT!!! (Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 - Images of the location of HUC 12090205 in south Texas and the basins delineated in the northern portion and southern portion of this HUC.) At this point, it does not appear we will have to burn in streams to correct errors in the elevation data very often, if at all. There are generally a couple small basins in each HUC where the delineation could be improved slightly, but so far we have not seen anything to necessitate burning in streams. This will save quite a bit of time and manpower and allow us to concentrate on the full-scale delineation when the data arrives. The RAID disk arrived last week and our new workstations arrived a few weeks prior to that, so we are very close to being ready for full production mode. Ken, Gina, Seann, and I will be attending a NED-H collaborators meeting at the EROS Data Center on Jan. 25-27 to work out details relating to methodology and transfer of data sets.

I never have read or heard of anyone else having it that severe but I did. A heart murmur, detectable with a stethoscope, is an abnormal sound, usually a “swoosh,” occurring during a heartbeat. Does Herpes go away on its own?\nEven if the symptoms go away, you still need to finish all of the medicine. As for cold sores that won’t go away. Oral herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. They may also extend down the chin and neck. Herpes can be passed from one partner to another or from one part of your own body to another part. It would be wrong, as many doctors and nurses do (usually the result of misunderstanding the virus themselves), to simply state that in the majority of cases the body’s immune system will rid itself of the virus.\nI’d really like to hear what you people have to say becasue this would already be my 5th outbreak this year. Cancer (June 22 – July 22) – Your problem is you have been looking for a life partner that shares your values, your interests and your intellect. It was a small action but it was done out of love and what I didn’t expect was what I would feel afterwards. Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). See the different ways the cold sore virus can spread. So what causes them and what can you do?\nRed bumps and a rash of smallpox cases as we have seen in other forms when the rash breaks of cold sores. The threats of heart attack are lessened, if not eliminated 3. Herpes simplex eye infection is caused by a type of herpes simplex virus. I went to my GP and she said it could be chlamydia or gonorrhoea! Some types can cause health problems including genital warts and cancers. Cold sores can cause genital herpes through oral sex.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "With a group of leading international specialists, we’ve written a chapter on lifestyle changes and consumption emissions for the UNEP Emissions Gap 2020 report. Ahead of its release on 9 December, we reflect on the role of ‘knowledge’ in driving lifestyle changes, and the importance of creating the right social and structural conditions for behaviours to shift.\nA recent paper published in the journal Climatic Change adds fuel to an old fire that continues to smoulder away: the role of ‘knowledge’ in driving behaviour change and public engagement on climate change.\nThe authors examine what they call ‘carbon numeracy’ by asking study participants in the US to rank the impact of different behavioural changes on emissions, and make estimates of the trade-offs between different actions (e.g. how many hamburgers equate to taking a flight, in terms of climate impact).\nPerhaps unsurprisingly, people’s carbon numeracy was not especially strong – most participants were not able to consistently rank different actions correctly in terms of their carbon impact. For instance, people taking part in the study judged the impact of recycling to be more significant for reducing emissions than reducing air travel or becoming vegetarian, and correctly answered tradeoff questions less than 20% of the time.\nFrom these results, the authors drew a stark conclusion:\nOld ways of campaigning?\nThe findings are interesting because they seem to support the ‘old’ way of thinking about campaigning on climate change, which prioritised the provision of information, and relied (often implicitly) on the so-called ‘deficit model’ of public engagement (whereby people would care more, or change their behaviours, when their ‘deficit’ of knowledge was addressed).\nMore contemporary approaches have emphasised the importance of values, worldviews, social norms and political ideology in determining engagement with climate change, and underpinning meaningful low-carbon lifestyle changes.\nThe ‘nudge’ approach (also known as ‘Behavioural Insights’) offers a third route, with a more agnostic take on the role of knowledge (focusing instead on changes in the decision-making environment and avoiding questions of ‘persuasion’ altogether).\nBut the authors’ take on their findings represents an unusually reductive assessment of people’s agency and ability to make the ‘right choice’. Taking a few steps backwards, away from the study’s findings and looking to the wider context of public engagement, perhaps there is a different interpretation.\nFocus on the behaviours that matter\nCampaigns have too often focused on ‘simple and painless’ behaviour changes, prioritising plastic bags and coffee cups over more impactful lifestyle shifts around diet and travel. As the authors of the new study note, this creates a strong ‘availability’ bias whereby people assume the actions they hear the most about are more impactful than they really are. So at a minimum, campaigns need to focus on the behaviours that matter – something we discuss in our chapter on lifestyle change in the soon-to-be-released UNEP Emissions Gap 2020 report.\nThe study found that the accuracy of people’s hamburger vs flight estimations was not driven by how much they cared about climate change (or their political orientation – a good proxy for climate concern in the US), but primarily on basic numeracy.\nClearly knowledge does matter to some extent. Arguably, the pendulum has swung so far away from the deficit model for some practitioners that there’s a risk that knowledge is discounted altogether. But what kind of knowledge matters?\nBeing able to roughly rank the impact of different actions is the kind of knowledge that has practical value, and seems a valid target for campaigner energy. But calculating hamburger-to-flight ratios is something that no one other than climate geeks would need to do.\nCreate the right conditions for social transformations\nCarbon labelling is a long overdue development that would certainly help people to make the best possible decisions. But as other social transformations make clear, this approach is necessary but not sufficient for changing behaviours. Over the last decade, levels of smoking have reduced rapidly in many countries around the world – this has been driven not only by labelling (health warnings) but also by shifting social norms and structural changes (laws and regulations).\nCampaigns across policy and advocacy must create the conditions under which it’s clearer (by focusing on the right kinds of behaviour), socially desirable (by promoting positive social norms) and perceived as fair (by mirroring any behavioural changes with structural shifts) to make the ‘right decision’.\nThat way, nobody needs to calculate hamburger-to-flight ratios to do the right thing.\nSign up to our newsletter\nThank you for signing up to our newsletter\nYou should receive a welcome email shortly.\nIf you do not receive it, please check your spam folder, and mark as 'Not Spam' so our future newsletters go straight to your inbox.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "Fish comprises about 20 per cent of the animal protein in the diets of over 3 billion people. The contribution of fish to dietary animal protein can reach 50 per cent in the world’s poorest regions, and up to 90 per cent in small island developing states. As highlighted by the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), this important role of fisheries is threatened by changes to the environment associated with increased emissions of greenhouse gases, including higher water temperatures and increases in ocean acidification, changing marine fish distribution. Add to that stress from overfishing and land-based pollution dead zones from land-based pollution, all of which reduce fish abundance and species diversity. Aquaculture, a one of the fastest growing animal-food producing endeavors, is affected by warming temperature, displacing species, like fresh water mollusks. Fisheries play a crucial role in providing food security and opportunities to earn income, particularly in developing countries.\nFood production systems, including fisheries that wisely use climate information can make better informed decisions at policy, institutional and community levels so as to improve the efficient use of limited resources and increase fisheries production by reducing impacts of climate risks and enhancing opportunities. The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) — established by WMO and its partners FAO, WFP, World Bank, UNDP, WHO, UNESCO and other organizations — supports the development and sharing of information products based on climate predictions targeting the most climate-vulnerable sectors and populations and help to improve food security\nTo promote awareness of the importance of climate information products and services for fisheries, both capture and aquaculture, WMO as the lead organization of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) has co-organized with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. (FAO) a lunch-time side event at the fifteenth meeting of the United Nations Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea (ICP) (New York, 27-30 May 2014), whose theme, proposed by Norway, is “the role of seafood and global food security”.", "label": "No"} +{"text": "We know that applying superlative skills to the design of outstanding electronic and software solutions isn’t enough.
