GREENHOUSE GASSED In a long - running
field experiment in Minnesota, scientists are studying the effects of rising
atmospheric carbon dioxide
levels on plots of grassland.
Patterns of anomalously high sea
levels are attributed to El Niño — related changes to
atmospheric pressure over the Gulf of Mexico and eastern Canada and to the wind
field over the Northeast U.S. continental shelf.
To conduct their study, the researchers used a spatial model of marsh morphodynamics into which they incorporated recently published observations from
field experiments on marsh vegetation response to varying
levels of
atmospheric carbon dioxide.
But a big need to find a way to
level the playing
field between those processes that contribute excessively to ongoing long term
atmospheric alteration, and those that don't, so that the latter are on more of an equal playing
field, when consumers and businesses both make decisions.
Oakwood, the tragedy is not what's happening in science — things there are just as they should be: the
field continues to develop new data and refined analyses, general conclusions have been reached that a very large majority support, based on well - established principles (properties of CO2, thermodynamics, effects of warmer air on evaporation...) and data (measures of CO2
levels, shifts in isotopic composition of
atmospheric CO2, temperature records — instrumental and proxy,...).
As there are numerous techniques for determining sea
level pressures from
atmospheric observations, all having limitations, we also compared the SLP
fields generated in the above way for general consistency with those generated using an independent method.
