A strong El Niño, in the most basic definition, occurs once the average sea surface temperature in the equatorial Pacific is at least 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) warmer than normal. It's measured in an imaginary box along the equator, roughly south of Hawaii, known as the Nino ...
The sudden increase in temperature during an abnormal period affects the metabolism of internal organs that can result in failure of the heart, kidneys, lungs, and other major organs. Heat stress could be minimised by spending less time outside during the peak sunshine hours, finding shade, or ...
A. La Niña is essentially the opposite of El Niño. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific that occurs every 3 to 5 years or so. The cool water can suppress rain-producing clouds, which leads to dry con...
Over the last few decades, the term El Nifio has come to be used to describe these exceptionally strong episodes and not the annual event. During the past 60 years, at least ten El Nifios have been observed Not only do El Niftos affect the temperature of the equatorial Pacific, but the...
Directions: In this section, you will hear 10 short recordings. At the beginning of each recording, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the question and the recording will be read only once. After each recording, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the...
The ability to measure the ecological effects of understory fire in the Amazon on a landscape scale remains a frontier in remote sensing. The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation’s (GEDI) LiDAR data have been widely suggested as a critical new tool i
HRR occurs preferably in the cell cycle’s late S, G2, and M-phases when a sister chromatid is present [179]. NHEJ does not need a homologous DNA template. For this reason, it can be activated at any point in the cell cycle, but it is the predominant repair pathway in G1 and G...
The insolation is inherently a wave phenomenon; however, this characterization is not acknowledged in the literature. Think of it as analogous to an AM radio wave. Its wave-like nature occurs from the “beating” of the earth’s celestial motions on the solar irradiance (about 1...
Businesses that create strong plans recover faster from a disruptive event than businesses that don’t. When a negative event occurs, the faster the business recovers and gets back to business-as-usual, the lower the risk to the company, its customers and its employees. ...
