This is the classic pattern of urban growth and winter heating effects.

Not exact matches

Few studies look at long - term effects or compare the harm of summer heat waves with the benefits of warmer winters.

But heat will also kill directly, he says, and the effect will be only partly offset by warmer winters.

Chilly winters may temporarily mask its effect, but the downtown Madison, Wisc., isthmus creates an urban heat island.

Winters have been warming more rapidly than summers, and while less extreme cold sounds appealing, the future effects of blistering summer heat are expected to outweigh the benefits of milder winters.

A clear illustration of direct effects of fossil fuels on human health was provided by an inadvertent experiment in China during the 1950 — 1980 period of central planning, when free coal for winter heating was provided to North China but not to the rest of the country.

I mix it with a tiny drop of water which gives it a heating effect (perfect to warm you up for cool winter mornings), I usually leave it on for about 10 - 15 minutes while I make my peppermint tea and rinse it off right before getting in the shower.

But while this winter is expected to be cold and heating - fuel costs are projected to be high, the only likely effect this school year will be thinner pocketbooks, many education officials said last week.

Regardless, I would posit the worsening winter ice formation is as expected given the poles suffer first and winters warm faster than summers, BUT that this is happening within two years of the EN peak, which was my time line in 2015, one wonders if the combination of warm EN - heated Pacific waters (oceans move slowly) and warm air are a trailing edge of the EN effect OR this is signallibg a phase change driven by that EN, or is just an extreme winter event.

«Wavelet analysis shows that this relative urban warming trend was primarily manifested in the form of multi - decadal and interseasonal cycles that are likely attributable to gradual increased winter heating in Ottawa (heat island effects) associated with population growth.

There are subtle effects such as the planet losing more heat from the open sea than from ice - covered region (some of this heat is absorbed by the atmosphere, but climates over ice - covered regions are of more continental winter character: dry and cold).

It is known that there is a pronounced difference in Hadley cell circulation between winter and summer, heat spreading more evenly would mean greater water vapor density, exacerbating AGW effects a great deal more.

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

The low SHGC does have the negative effect of reducing winter time passive solar heating.

Lake effect snow near the great lakes results from substantial warming of the lakes in the summer months and heat carryover causing evaporation into the early part of the following winter.

Therefore the effect on the outside air would be to cool in winter and heat in summer.

Warmer winters (if they have lots of clouds... in winter thick clouds actually warm since there is less daylight and there cooling effect is now reversed to warming by retaining the heat... reflecting more IR than carbon dioxide can do, depending upon the type of cloud).

A clear illustration of direct effects of fossil fuels on human health was provided by an inadvertent experiment in China during the 1950 — 1980 period of central planning, when free coal for winter heating was provided to North China but not to the rest of the country.

Reduced energy demand for heating; increased demand for cooling; declining air quality in cities; reduced disruption to transport due to snow, ice; effects on winter tourism

The stations used are predominantly urban and affected by the urban heat island effect (UHIE), this means the temperatures from the two regions are higher in summer and winter.

The effect any previous year of sea ice reflectivity or heat loss or heat gain has been lost over the previous winter, and each year's energy budget must stand alone: That sea ice was near recent all - time highs in March and April 2012 indicates that an all - time sea ice low in September can't be attributed to any particular sea ice measurement in 2011, 2010, or 1979.

But it was cold this winter and C02 is plant food and only a trace gas and the greenhouse effect has been disproved anyway and even if the greenhouse effect does exist, C02 has negligible impact compared to water vapour and our only source of heat is the sun so it must be the sun, unless it is due to the C02 from volcanoes, but C02 follows warming so it can't be the C02 and the medieval warm period was warmer anyway and all the temperature reconstructions that show this not to be true are produced by corrupt scientists being paid by corrupt governments that have colluded to create an excuse to form a one world unelected social - ist government and even if the scientists are not that corrupt, although the e-mails prove they are, they have still got it wrong as the climate sensitivity is not as high as they think it is because it is basically the planets orbits and cosmic rays so we can say for a fact that the warming that probably does not exist is definatley not due to humans and even if it was the evidence is not sufficient to make drastic changes to the economy and increase taxes so that the politicians and scientists and business leaders get rich and leave us all poor — do they think we are stupid or something?

A home that lets in more natural light can not only save on heating costs in the winter due to the effect of passive solar heating, but also boost the mood of its inhabitants.
