2023 was exceptional in terms of the size of the area affected by unusual warming. To measure global area with unusual heat, I compiled the area fraction of the global surface where annual average temperature anomalies were larger than two standard deviations using the ERA5 reanalysis data11. Fi...
In April 2020, the number of fire alerts across the globe were up by 13% compared to last year - which was already a record year for fires. Persistent hotter and drier weather due to climate change, and other human factors such as land conversion for agriculture and poor forest management ...
Droughts and heatwaves may also evade policies aimed at curbing human health damages from power plants, such as financial penalties (i.e. taxes) levied on emissions. During normal operating conditions, these policies incentivize system operators to use lower polluting plants first by increasing the ...
Drought hazard is monitored by quantitative indices like standardised precipitation index (SPI) or similar that show anomalies in, for example, rainfall, river flow or reservoir level [10]. However, when these indices show that a drought is occurring, what effect the low rainfall or lack of ...
Hit by floods and drought, quarter of Somali people at risk of ‘crisis-level’ hunger, WFP says | Reuters Extreme poverty rendering Madagascar highly vulnerable to underreported extreme heat that would not have occurred without human-induced climate change – World Weather Attri...
But we can use IoT devices to monitor crops and increase yields. Farmers will be able to use historical data to predict weather conditions more accurately for their specific microclimates and get suggestions on how to grow crops better.
I have great respect for this sturdy little engine 24 jewels, Fendi Replica 21. 6k bph but even with a signed rotor, it isn’t much to look at. I’d have preferred a solid case Fendi Replica back with a decorative site engraving, but that is hardly a complaint. First is the dial ...
But when it comes to satisfying our human purposes—as in other examples we’ve discussed—things may look better. As an example, consider predicting the weather. In the end, this is all about PDEs for fluid dynamics (and, yes, there are also other effects to do with clouds, etc.). ...
More River Anomalies During the 4th lockdown in Melbourne, the weather turned wild. The wind was fierce and there was a lot of rain. For those living in the outer suburbs towards and on the mountains, the storm was particularly damaging with many trees down and causing power outages for mo...
