Another property of the real world, missing in our model so far, is that the real world is not everywhere the same temperature, and the heat fluxes to and from space do not necessarily balance at any given time or location. This is because the winds in the atmosphere and the currents in...
Global warming is related to the more general phenomenon ofclimate change, which refers to changes in the totality of attributes that defineclimate. In addition to changes inairtemperature, climate change involves changes toprecipitationpatterns,winds,ocean currents, and other measures of Earth’s clim...

Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science really
A lowered water table can be devastating for farmers who can't keep crops alive in such dry soil [source: USA Today]. On the other hand, deforestation can also cause flooding. Coastal vegetation lessens the impact of waves and winds associated with a storm surge. Without this vegetation, ...
Given some of the data deficiencies in terms of temporal and spatial coverage, described in the following chapters, the purpose of this paper is not to produce a definitive quantification. At the current rate of progress in attribution research in meteorological science, we are still years away ...

In characterizing the severity and distribution of wind droughts, it is also important to consider and quantify how much change there could be as a result of a changing climate. The effects of climate change on winds have been investigated in the past, but evidence for a significant change has...
Precipitation has increased in eastern regions of the Americas, northern Europe and parts of Asia; other regions such as the Mediterranean and southern Africa have experienced drying trends. Westerly winds have been growing stronger. Droughts are more intense, have lasted longer and covered larger ar...
Zonal winds play an important role in the production of PRE electric field, which is vital for the generation of plasma density irregularities (Rishbeth, 1971; Heelis et al., 2012; Abdu, 2005, 2019; Batista et al., 1986; Kudeki et al., 2007). Zonal winds also play an important role...
