EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

an investigation of global warming effects on siberian high

. introduction the siberian high (sh) is a quasi-stationary and semi-permanent surface high pressure system residing over the eurasian continent during winter with its climatological–mean central pressure exceeding 1030 hpa. this most important atmospheric center of action controls the climate of a wide area of this continent. the sh forms generally in october mainly in response to strong radia...

Effects of Global Warming on Marine Ecosystems

Marine ecosystems are very diversified and involved in a complicated net of internal and external intercommunications. Their evolutionary history and present adaptive possibilities strongly depend on variability of climate conditions. Ocean basins in equatorial, tropical, and moderate zones are distinguished by the stability of environmental parameters and less affected by climatic anomalies. O...

The Effects of Global Warming on Mountains

Mountain regions are characterized by sensitive ecosystems, enhanced occurrences of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes; they are also regions of conflicting interests between economic development and environmental conservation. Once regarded as hostile and economically nonviable regions, mountains have in the latter part of the twentieth century attracted major economic investments...

Global Warming Effects on Us Hurricane Damage

While many studies of the effects of global warming on hurricanes predict an increase in various metrics of Atlantic basin-wide activity, it is less clear that this signal will emerge from background noise in measures of hurricane damage, which depend largely on rare, high-intensity landfalling events and are thus highly volatile compared to basin-wide storm metrics. Using a recently developed ...
