The glaciated areas of the HMA are more sensitive to temperature than those in low-lying plains18. Climate change predictions for these aera include more frequent extreme weather events, recession of the glaciers, and changes in water levels in glacial lakes19. Geologic hazards occur frequently in...
Earlier statistical work on record-breaking events has shown that for any time series that is stationary (i.e. notrend), the probability of record-breaking falls with each subsequent observation. This is known as the 1/nrule, wherenequals the previous number of data in the series. For exam...
cause sea level to rise,and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events[4] and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation.Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields,glacier retreat,species extinctions and increases in the range...
are working hard to reach these goals insufficiently consider the impact of extreme weather.Take Germany as an example.Its 2018 strategy on sustainable development runs to 60 pages yet the word ‘disaster' appears only once.There is no analysis of the consequences of an increase ...
especially in younger chicks10,21,23,44,47; (3) vary between years as a result of annual variation, (4) increase with chick age, as previous studies have documented lower survival rates in younger chicks, likely a result of susceptibility to predation and extreme weather events22,48, and ...
widespread because it does an excellent job of playing on an audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(图表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event ...
CHAPTER ONE Cause One: The Increase in Speed, Switching, and Filtering “I don’t understand what you’re asking for,” the man in Target in Boston kept saying to me. “These are the cheapest phones…
Or how all that heat that is apparently well mixed in the ocean could somehow get into the atmosphere and influence weather/temperatures/rainfall on the land? Or is sequestering heat in the ocean a fortuitous ‘solution’ to the global (surface) warming problem? Share this: Email Twitter Face...
in both hemispheres9. Hindcast data also show significant increases in extreme wave heights at the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere11, 0.25–0.9% per year for the 90th percentile in the north Atlantic and the north Pacific, and decreases in the mid-latitudes8,12. However, not only...
Figure 8. Probability plot of the daily precipitation events [mm] measured at the Ibiza Airport station. The event measured during the study is marked in yellow on the graph. Using the daily records measured at the Ibiza Airport, we computed the year-round average number of events by select...
