Not exact matches

According to David Wolfe, «because the equatorial tropics are one of the harshest UV ray - intense zones on our planet, in order to protect itself from the sun, the açaí berry produces high amounts of its own protector «sunscreen» — the substances we know as «antioxidants.»

There were several factors contributing to the increased risk, including not only the desert and more equatorial latitudes, but also the length of sunlight exposure day to day, and, among many service members, a lack of training regarding the dangers of sun exposure and limited access to sunscreen.

The farther one gets from equatorial regions, the lower the sun» s UV intensity.

The sun's equatorial magnetic field also splits to straddle the equator rather than encircle it.

In the early 1990s, one study found that coplanarity between the orbital and equatorial planes of nearby binaries (within 100 parsecs or 326 ly) that are composed of Sol - type stars (F5 - K5 V) «exists» for binaries with orbital separations up to the average orbital distance of Pluto in the Solar System — roughly 40 times the Earth - Sun distance or «astronomical unit» (AU).

[1]... humans evolved in equatorial Africa, where the sun delivers most UVR most of the year.

An equatorial paradise, Malaysia is blessed with an amazing underwater kingdom for diving and snorkelling, and offers pristine rainforests for wildlife safari tours, mountain ranges for trekking, wetlands for bird watching, and unspoiled islands for some sun and surf or simple relaxation.

Abstract: We present evidence to show that changes in the Sun's equatorial rotation rate are synchronized with changes in its orbital motion about the barycentre of the Solar System.

We postulate that the overall period of the meridional flow is set by the level of disruption to the flow that is caused by changes in Sun's equatorial rotation speed.

Re my: (solar or lunar - driven precession itself can't (approximately) happen at those times when the sun or moon cross the equatorial plane)... refering specifically to the component of precession that is wobbling of the Earth's angular momentum vector in an inertial reference frame; another component comes from shifting of the semimajor axis.

They should be put on equatorial mounts so they can follow the sun.

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..

During periods of minimum solar activity, when the HCS is flat, particles drift along the equatorial plane and away from the Sun for positive polarity periods, while the opposite occurs for negative polarity periods.

Because the vertical sun travels back and forth across the Equatorial regions — mostly ocean — the air becomes warm and humid, and becomes buoyant.

4 Equally important, surplus equatorial heat is generated by the sun, with a very small and dubious contribution from CO2.

One thing I hadn't realized (sunspots not being my thing) is that the 11 - year cycle is actually two phases of a 22 - year cycle that could be described as a magnet rotating at a rate of one revolution per 22 years and producing sunspots most strongly when it's normal to the Sun's equatorial plane.

With no (or weak) westward equatorial current, the sea surface warms in the tropical Sun and cools evaporatively, adding vast amounts of moisture to the atmosphere.

Because the movement of the ITCZ follows the position of maximum surface heating associated with meridional displacement of the overhead position of the sun, near - equatorial regions experience two rain seasons, whereas regions further poleward experience one distinct rainfall season.

«A NOAA polar orbiter is nominally «sun synchronous,» meaning whenever it observes a particular spot on the earth at nadir, the local time on the earth is constant from year to year, usually being referenced to the crossing time over the equator [i.e., local equatorial crossing time (LECT)-RSB-.

Reduced equatorial cloud cover during La Nina (due to the cooler sea surface temperature), combined with the strong upwelling (Ekman suction) in the eastern equatorial Pacific, does indeed lead to greater warming of the ocean - because it's bringing cool subsurface water to the surface, where it can be heated by the sun.

Obliquity and precession variations arise due to the torque exerted by gravity (i.e., a force that acts perpendicular to he spin axis of the top) which ultimately comes from the pull of the Sun and Moon on Earth's equatorial bulge.
