During El Nino winters, an anomalous anticyclone tends to appear over the western North Pacific (WNP), which can weaken the climatological winter northerly winds and enhance water vapor supply from oceans, cond
How did geographic isolation affect the Kaibab squirrel? How does hunting affect the food chain? How does El Nino affect the jet stream? How does the magnetosphere affect weather? How does evaporation affect weather? How do atmospheric circulation cells affect precipitation?
How does El Nino affect Antarctica? How do gyres affect marine life? How does the rise of sea level affect marine life? How does an upwelling affect marine life? How does ocean warming affect sea life? How do microfibers affect marine life? How did Hurricane Katrina affect marine life?
Large-scale modes of climate variability, such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, and Indian Ocean Dipole, show significant regional correlations with seasonal weather conditions, and are routinely forecast by meteorological agencies attempting to anticipate seasonal precipitat...
If that happens, we could see the ultimate good news/bad news scenario. Heating bills will go down. That's good. But more people will die of heatstroke, as 465 Chicagoans did during a July 1995 heat wave. That's bad. Longshoremen in northern ports will work more days every year. Tha...
In the case of the Murray Darling, the use of a 1985 salinity baseline against which to measure wetland health proved disastrous because the baseline did not represent appropriate natural conditions for that system. Instead, the baseline represented a system in a severe state of degradation due ...
Music is known to affect human emotions, often deeply. Naturally enough, the researchers also wanted to learn if music written for people would interest the monkeys. ProfessorSnowdonplayed calming human music for the animals. They did not seem to show a difference in behavior. But, strangely eno...
Rosenthal et al (2013)show that intermediate waters were much warmer, but the reef-building coral we're talking about don't live hundreds of meters deep. How much of this high latitude water returned to the equator via the subtropical cells, and how much did it affect thesurface layers?
How did the Ice Ages affect ocean salinity? How does ocean acidification change water components? Why is ocean salinity increasing? How does regional climate affect ocean salinity? How does weathering increase ocean salinity? How does the formation of evaporites affect ocean salinity?
An ice age is a prolonged period of time where cold weather and large glaciers cover most of the earth, and when these glaciers melt they can cause major changes to the environment. Lean more about glaciers, their erosion and deposition process, how pluvial lakes are formed, and what effects...
