Sentences with phrase «measuring changes in winds»

By measuring changes in winds, rather than relying upon problematic temperature measurements, researchers estimated the atmospheric temperatures near 10 km in the Tropics rose about 0.65 degrees Celsius per decade since 1970 — probably the fastest warming rate anywhere in Earth's atmosphere.

By measuring changes in winds, rather than relying upon problematic temperature measurements, Robert J. Allen and Steven C. Sherwood of the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale estimated the atmospheric temperatures near 10 km in the Tropics rose about 0.65 degrees Celsius per decade since 1970 — probably the fastest warming rate anywhere in Earth's atmosphere.

The National Eclipse Ballooning Project, led by Angela Des Jardins, a solar physicist at Montana State University in Bozeman, will launch over 100 weather balloons at various times along the path of totality and measure changes in such parameters as temperature and wind speed.

The images, taken over a 10 - hour period, created two massive maps of the entire planet, allowing scientists to measure the speeds of Jupiter's winds, identify different events in its atmosphere, and track changes in the outer layers of the planet.

They compared those events with changes in the Global Wind Oscillation (GWO) index, a collection of climate and weather information that measures atmospheric angular momentum, or the degree of waviness in the jet stream.

The analysis showed that changes in cloud cover can serve as a proxy in climate models for wind velocity in the atmosphere, which can not be directly measured.

We will measure how fast the streams flow, how turbulent they are, and how they respond to changes in winds over the Southern Ocean.

Princen has also been known to reference scientific measuring systems, mapping, and amateur anthropology in his work, and his artistic practice has involved plotting ecological changes — water currents, wind patterns, and soil erosion, as well as the impacts of urban developments on the Dutch landscape.

Wind speed is a useful measure of storm strength (cat 1 - 5, (E) F scale...), and pressure drop also (~ wind speed * distance scale ~ speed * sqrt (area) if not too elongated)-- although (I think) potential energy ~ area * (change in p ^ 2) and kinetic energy ~ area * speed ^ 2 (assumes same vertical extent, densityWind speed is a useful measure of storm strength (cat 1 - 5, (E) F scale...), and pressure drop also (~ wind speed * distance scale ~ speed * sqrt (area) if not too elongated)-- although (I think) potential energy ~ area * (change in p ^ 2) and kinetic energy ~ area * speed ^ 2 (assumes same vertical extent, densitywind speed * distance scale ~ speed * sqrt (area) if not too elongated)-- although (I think) potential energy ~ area * (change in p ^ 2) and kinetic energy ~ area * speed ^ 2 (assumes same vertical extent, density...)

As we have discussed elsewhere on this site, statistical measures that focus on trends in the strongest category storms, maximum hurricane winds, and changes in minimum central pressures, suggest a systematic increase in the intensities of those storms that form.

2) There may be an increase of about 80 ppmv if one should measure at exactly the same place as in the 1940's at Poona in exactly the same circumstances of wind speed and other natural points (temperature, sunshine) and surroundings (no change in urbanisation, energy use, cars, same crops in the fields, same level of trees,...).

The concept is related to the more general phenomenon of climate change, which refers to changes in the totality of attributes that define climate — not only sur - face temperatures, but also precipitation patterns, winds, ocean currents, and other measures of the Earth's climate.

AER received a Business Achievement Award in the climate change category for developing new approaches and methods for measuring and forecasting solar and wind resources that allow renewable power plant developers to measure more accurately both long - term production and short - term variations in resource availability.

Mr Taylor has listed «changes in building practices», «home solar water» and «household energy efficiency» as some measures that are much cheaper options for reducing emissions than wind energy.

Anders, the different behavior of the rising minimum could be due to increased moisture via El Ninos, land surface changes that hold the morning heat when and where minimums are measured, changes in the wind that lessen the pooling of cold morning air, or perhaps CO2.

Whether the large - scale thermodynamic environment and atmospheric static stability (often measured by Convective Available Potential Energy, CAPE) becomes more favourable for tropical storms depends on how changes in atmospheric circulation, especially subsidence, affect the static stability of the atmosphere, and how the wind shear changes.

Indeed, if it's not present in BI, it may be that you only wind up measuring things you can't change.

Suction blister wounds are an excellent model for studying the effects of early wound healing.50 Measurement of the rate of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through human skin provides a noninvasive method to monitor changes in the stratum corneum barrier function of the skin, providing an excellent objective method for evaluation of wound healing.51 The 8 blister sites were assessed daily for 8 days following removal of the blister chambers50 and then again on day 12, along with daily control values from adjacent nonwounded skin; after subtracting the average control values from the average daily measurement, the 90 % standard for healing was based on reaching 90 % of the day 1 measures.
