Revisiting Recent U.S. Heat Waves in a Warmer and More Humid Climate

Exercise tolerance in a hot and humid climate in heat-acclimatized girls and women.

This study compared physiological responses associated with exercise tolerance in girls (G) and women (W) of similar fitness and heat acclimatization level during exercise in a hot and humid outdoor environment (33.4 degrees C and 55.1 % RH; WBGT = 29.9 +/- 0.2 degrees C). Nine pre-menarcheal G (age = 11.3 yr) and nine W (age = 26.8 yr), matched for aerobic capacity and heat acclimatization lev...

Relative humidity changes in a warmer climate

[1] Key climate feedback due to water vapor and clouds rest largely on how relative humidity R changes in a warmer climate, yet this has not been extensively analyzed in models. General circulation models (GCMs) from the CMIP3 archive and several higher‐ resolution atmospheric GCMs examined here generally predict a characteristic pattern of R trend with global temperature that has been reported...

A warmer world means more beetles and more dermatitis

Dear Sir, Global warming is a hypothesis that the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere is increasing because of the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that is the most important anthropogenic gas. Global warming controversy includes the causes and the consequences of a possible global warming. Although there is no scientific evidence to claim a man-made global warming, ...

Evapotranspiration Controllers in a Humid Climate

The objective of this article is to present summary findings of multiple research studies concerning evapotranspiration (ET) controllers. Each study provided unique information concerning the performance and implementation techniques necessary to ensure successful integration with irrigation systems to optimize scheduling for water conservation. Based on these studies, ET controllers have the p...
