Heat a large pot of salted

«The reason formula is made up at a
higher temperature and the boiling
water is formula in itself is not sterile so there's a real worry that if you're producing it at a lower
temperature it doesn't kill any bugs that might be hanging around, established in the formula
over the production process — and you're giving that to very young infants who will then be more vulnerable for sickness and other things.
By analyzing this data
over the following six months, the researchers found that clouds that grew at the lowest
temperatures required extremely
high relative humidity in order for
water vapor to form an ice crystal around a dust particle.
Inland, with no body of

After observing plants grown in California

higher nitrogen levels increased plant growth, while
higher temperatures hindered the plants.
Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of
water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of
high magnitude snowfall years
over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air
temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

«Relatively cool
waters in the eastern Pacific often result in stubborn summer
high - pressure systems
over the eastern states that block storms, reducing the frequency of precipitation below normal,» noted study co-author Richard Healy of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass. «Less frequent storms result in
higher surface and atmospheric
temperatures that then feedback on the atmospheric circulation to further reduce storm frequency and raise surface
temperatures even more.»
The storm is passing
over waters of 29 °C — approximately 0.5 °C above average in
temperature — and is an unusually wet storm, with amounts of
water vapor near the very
high end of what is observed in tropical cyclones (precipitable
water values up to 3.0 inches.)
Over northern continents in winter, however, more precipitation is associated with
higher temperatures, as the
water holding capacity of the atmosphere increases in the warmer conditions.
Or take two pots of
water at
higher than ambient
temperature and put a heat lamp
over one of them and measure the cooling curves.
«Based on their results, the researchers conclude that the Arctic Ocean has a previously unrecognized
high sensitivity to changes of the freshwater input
over multiple timescales, which is manifested in large
temperature excursions of the intermediate
water layers.»
especially
over coral reefs and in shallow estuaries, where
high natural surfactant concentrations and subsequent hydrosols persistence may make it economically feasible to lower peak
water temperatures for extended periods»
As mentioned above 0.5 W is not enough to heat 500 m
water column by 0.5 C
over 30 years, even if all the heat goes into the
water, and none of it is lost because all else equal:
higher temperature equals greater heat losses.
The center of the cold zone in the US has remained astoundingly centered
over the Dakota
water protecter region as the 3rd NOAA «departure from normal
high temperature» map below reveals.
For example, the root system of forest trees facilitates both storage and extraction of moisture from soil; biogenic aerosols produced by trees control the intensity of
water vapor condensation
over the forest; the large height of trees determines the vertical
temperature gradient under the canopy, keeping soil evaporation under biotic control; tall trees are also essential for surface friction that does not allow extremely
high wind velocities to develop.
It went something like this: hotel check - in, locate room, locate wifi service, attempt connection to wifi, wonder why the connection is taking so long, try again, locate phone, call front desk, get told «the internet is broken for a while», decide to hot - spot the mobile phone because some emails really needed to be sent, go «la la la» about the roaming costs, locate iron, wonder why iron
temperature dial just spins around and around, swear as iron spews
water instead of steam, find reading glasses, curse middle - aged need for reading glasses, realise iron
temperature dial is indecipherably in Chinese, decide ironing front of shirt is good enough when wearing jacket, order room service lunch, start shower, realise can't read impossible small toiletry bottle labels, damply retrieve glasses from near iron and successfully avoid shampooing hair with body lotion, change (into slightly damp shirt), retrieve glasses from shower, start teleconference, eat lunch, remember to mute phone, meet colleague in lobby at 1 pm, continue teleconference, get in taxi, endure 75 stop - start minutes to a inconveniently located client, watch unread emails climb
over 150, continue to ignore roaming costs, regret tuna panini lunch choice as taxi warmth, stop - start juddering, jet - lag, guilt about unread emails and traffic fumes combine in a very unpleasant way, stumble out of
over-warm taxi and almost catch hypothermia while trying to locate a very small client office in a very large anonymous business park, almost hug client with relief when they appear to escort us the last 50 metres, surprisingly have very positive client meeting (i.e. didn't throw up in the meeting), almost catch hypothermia again waiting for taxi which despite having two functioning GPS devices can't locate us on a main road, understand why as within 30 seconds we are almost rendered unconscious by the in - car exhaust fumes, discover that the taxi ride back to the CBD is even slower and more juddering at peak hour (and no, that was not a carbon monoxide induced hallucination), rescheduled the second client from 5 pm to 5.30, to 6 pm and finally 6.30 pm, killed time by drafting this guest blog (possibly carbon monoxide induced), watch unread emails climb
higher, exit taxi and inhale relatively fresher air from kamikaze motor scooters, enter office and grumpily work with client until 9 pm, decline client's gracious offer of expensive dinner, noting it is already midnight my time, observe client fail to correctly set office alarm and endure
high decibel «warning, warning» sounds that are clearly designed to send security rushing... soon... any second now... develop new form of nausea and headache from piercing, screeching, sounds - like - a-wailing-baby-please-please-make-it-stop-alarm, note the client is relishing the extra (free) time with us and is still talking about work, admire the client's ability to focus under extreme aural pressure, decide the client may be a little too work focussed, realise that I probably am too given I have just finished work at 9 pm... but then remember the 200 unread emails in my inbox and decide I can resolve that incongruency later (in a quieter space), become sure that there are only two possibilities — there are no security staff or they are deaf — while my colleague frantically tries to call someone who knows what to do, conclude after three calls that no - one does, and then finally someone finally does and... it stops.
