Not exact matches

In South Asia, a region of deep poverty where one - fifth of the world's people live, new research suggests that by the end of this century climate change could lead to summer heat waves with levels of heat and humidity that exceed what humans can survive without protection.

The study, which controlled for levels of pollutants and allergens in the air (which are affected by weather), found that a 10 - degree increase in temperature and a 10 % change in humidity were associated with a slight uptick in asthma - related emergency room visits.

The Detroit study of children with asthma, which was published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, suggested that changes in temperature and humidity — rather than the levels themselves — are responsible for triggering asthma exacerbations.

An animal's water requirements change depending on environmental temperature, humidity, and activity level, among other factors.

In 1986 he won the coveted Golden Lion prize at the Venice Biennale for his Athanor — a massive installation of murals which, coated with chemicals that responded to changing levels of humidity and light, were in constant flux.

Global climate change risks are high to very high with global mean temperature increase of 4 °C or more above preindustrial levels in all reasons for concern (Assessment Box SPM.1), and include severe and widespread impacts on unique and threatened systems, substantial species extinction, large risks to global and regional food security, and the combination of high temperature and humidity compromising normal human activities, including growing food or working outdoors in some areas for parts of the year (high confidence).

The water vapor feedback (a generally positive feedback)-- there is an roughly exponential increase in saturation water vapor pressure with increasing temperature, and the relative humidity (at a given vertical level) overall tends not to change a lot globally, though there will be different regional trends associated with shifting precipitation patterns.

In theory above that height the humidity remains at 100 %, and so the greenhouse effect from water vapour in the region above the condensation level will not change.

Some examples are materials that can remove humidity without lowering temperatures below uncomfortable levels, sensors that can control air filters as needed in order to remove harmful air particles, and building facades that adjust to changes in outdoor temperatures and sunlight.

The 2009 State of the Climate Report of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tells us that climate change is real because of rising surface air temperatures since 1880 over land and the ocean, ocean acidification, sea level rise, glaciers melting, rising specific humidity, ocean heat content increasing, sea ice retreating, glaciers diminishing, Northern Hemisphere snow cover decreasing, and so many other lines of evidence.

The lapse rate, strictly speaking, applies to elevation above ground level (which is strongly affected by local atmospheric conditions such as absolute humidity and the rate of change of the absolute humidity in space and time) and this should be considered when making certain kinds of comparisons.

The results of the study indicate that climatic changes have driven up multiyear averages of thunderstorm - related normalized losses since 1970 and that anthropogenic climate change, most likely responsible for increasing levels of humidity over time, is fully consistent with this change.

Two of the studies are from the European Commission's joint research centre and the first of these confirms separate research in June and again this month, that murderous levels of heat and humidity could affect many millions if there are no steps to drastically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming and climate change.

Anyway, our paper concluded by suggesting that, in view of the extreme significance of upper - level humidity to the climate change story, the international radiosonde data on upper - level humidity should not be «written off» without a serious attempt at abstracting the best possible humidity signal from within the noise of instrumental and operational changes at each of the relevant radiosonde stations.

For those checking the humidity level data, note that the models project different changes in RH at different levels and different latitudes.

Ecobee's interface is extremely intuitive, with a large reading of the current temperature inside the dwelling, as well as a humidity level, current operating status, and a quick slider on the right for immediate temperature changes.

«Robust and reliable, engineered wood can prove a far better choice than natural wood because it's unlikely to alter when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity levels»

The plant is undergoing stress from the change in light and humidity level.

However, the key is maintaining a consistent level of humidity throughout seasonal changes.
