Insulation passively heats a greenhouse; rather than adding more heat, increasing insulation minimizes heat loss. While you can insulate the whole greenhouse structure itself, you can also focus on insulating th
The interaction between maximum daily temperature and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was the strongest driver of ibex resource selection, with RSF scores (i.e., relative probability of selection) reaching their highest values (~3.5, Fig.1; for small scale RSF see Fig.S1.1). Ibex...
Lower density provides better insu- lation in the near-body air layer, which reduces convective heat loss (Kandjov 1997). Extremely low ap at altitudes >8000 m reduces convective heat loss by almost 50% com- pared with altitudes <4000 m in the same temperature (Huey et al. 2001; ...
foremost to facilitate interstudy comparison and to increase sample sizes of upper-tail temperature events given large natural variability. Under the aegis of the World Climate Research Programme, an extremes standardization for observations and reanalysis is underway, motivated by the strict ...
Aware, however, that most spectators will not take the precautions, 16 public and private agencies are coming to the rescue. The Red Cross is setting up eight tents near the venues with free water, sponges and mist-blowing fans. The Defense Department is providing “water buffaloes,” big ta...
An energy balance model simply divides the current radiative forcing into two parts: 1) The current imbalance that is causing warming right now – mostly in the ocean. 2) The increase in OLR + OSR associated with a warmer planet. (OSR + reflection of SWR). d(OLR+OSR)/dTs is the r...
Close to the city center building heights increase rapidly, which is on the one hand due to larger office and retail buildings near the city center and on the other hand due to the smaller area used to compute the average building height. The latter can lead to a large impact of single ...

Oil targets should be focused on the near shore areas in the southeastern China sea, the upper strata in the eastern and middle hydrocarbon zones, and the Ordovician, Permian and Paleogene strata in the western hydrocarbon zone, while gas targets should be focused on the off-shore areas in ...
Mark Weidhase told CNN on Sunday he and his girlfriend decided to head to the mountains to escape the heat while visiting from Canada. As they were leaving Big Bear and heading through Running Springs on Saturday, they found themselves near the Line Fire. Weidhase said they pulled off High...
