Man-made climate change: facts and fiction
Important issues about climate change are summarized and discussed: A large body of evidence shows that the world climate is getting warmer. Climate models give a consistent explanation of this observation once human-made emissions of greenhouse gases are taken into account. Furthermore, the main source of greenhouse gases comes from the burning of oil, gas and coal, mainly in the industrialize...
متن کاملTerrestrial Natural and Man-made Electromagnetic Noise
The terrestrial environment is continuously exposed to electromagnetic radiations which set up a “background” electromagnetic noise. For what concerns electromagnetic waves in the Non Ionizing Radiation band (NIR), i.e. for frequencies lower than 300 GHz, the background can have a natural or an artificial origin. In the first case electromagnetic radiations have generally an atmospheric or a co...
متن کاملEntropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملSummer Differences among Arctic Ecosystems in Regional Climate Forcing
Biome differences in surface energy balance strongly affect climate. However, arctic vegetation is considered sufficiently uniform that only a single arctic land surface type is generally used in climate models. Field measurements in northern Alaska show large differences among arctic ecosystem types in summer energy absorption and partitioning. Simulations with the Arctic Regional Climate Syst...
متن کاملClimate forcing multiplies biological productivity in the coastal Arctic Ocean
[1] The effects of changing ice and atmospheric conditions on the upwelling of deep nutrient‐laden waters and biological productivity in the coastal Beaufort Sea were quantified using a unique combination of in situ and remote‐sensing approaches. Repeated instances of ice ablation and upwelling during fall 2007 and summer 2008 multiplied the production of ice algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton a...
