R. Raupach, 2015: How did ocean warming affect Australian rainfall extremes during the 2010/2011 La Nina event? Geophys. Res. Lett., 42, 9942-9951, doi:10.1002/2015GL065948.Ummenhofer CC, Sen Gupta A, England MH (2015) How did ocean warming affect Australian rainfall extremes during the...
BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese study has found how volcanic eruptions at different latitudes affect rainfall over global monsoon regions, providing insights on designing geo-engineering experiments. Scientists have long known that large volcanic explosions can affect the weather by spewing parti...
deforestation often occurs as a patchwork, with some sections or forest falling as others remain. According to NASA observations, sections of deforested area can become "heat islands" that increase the convection of air that leads to cloud formation and rainfall. These tend to concentrate...
Building heat loads are found to correlate strongly with wind energy supply aggregated over large, cold regions. Moderate correlations are found elsewhere, except no correlation is found in some tropical islands and some small countries. Thus, wind energy in most climates can help to meet seasonal...
Water also has a high heat of vaporization, which means that it can take a lot of heat without its temperature rising much. This plays a huge part in the climate, because it means that oceans take a long time to warm up. Water is often known as the universal solvent, which means ...
How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth, according toNASA. At heart, hurricanes are fueled by just two ingredients: heat and water. Hurricanes are seeded over the warm waters above the equator, where the air above the ocean's surface takes in heat and moistur...
You can live on beaches or islands… on Panama’s sun-drenched Pacific Coast, or on the turquoise waters of the Panamanian Caribbean. Or in one of the cool mountain hamlets that look like they belong in Switzerland instead of here, a mere 600 miles from the Equator. ...
Both warm and cold ocean currents have a very strong influence over climate. Warm currents in many areas make local climate warmer than the latitude would indicate. Additionally, because warm ocean currents carry intensively evaporating warm waters, they may generate intense rainfall, also on the se...
The heat island is highly changeable, most pronounced at night and weakening with increasing wind speed and distance from the city centre; the location of the thermal maximum of the heat island shifts with slight changes in wind direction. The number of nights with intense heat islands (greater...
How do I collect data from IoT sensors? Data collection from IoT sensors typically involves connecting the sensors to a cloud-based platform or local server via a wireless network. Once connected, the sensors automatically send real-time data to the platform, where it is aggregated, stored, and...
