متن کاملRecent Trends in Cloudiness over the United States
From space, Earth is a blue planet marked by stark white cloud structures that distinguish it from other planets. By ref lecting sunlight, blocking outgoing longwave radiation, and producing precipitation, clouds have an enormous impact on Earth’s weather and climate. The single largest source of uncertainty in global climate models has always been the response of clouds, especially low clouds,...
متن کاملHealth System Reform in the United States
In 2010, the United States adopted its first-ever comprehensive set of health system reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Implementation of the law, though politically contentious and controversial, has now reached a stage where reversal of most elements of the law is no longer feasible. The controversial portions of the law that expand affordable health insurance coverage to most U.S. cit...
متن کاملBiomass burning contribution to black carbon in the Western United States Mountain Ranges
Forest fires are an important source to carbonaceous aerosols in the Western United States (WUS). We quantify the relative contribution of biomass burning to black carbon (BC) in the WUS mountain ranges by analyzing surface BC observations for 2006 from the Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environment (IMPROVE) network using the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model. Observed surf...
متن کاملArea burned in the western United States is unaffected by recent mountain pine beetle outbreaks.
In the western United States, mountain pine beetles (MPBs) have killed pine trees across 71,000 km(2) of forest since the mid-1990s, leading to widespread concern that abundant dead fuels may increase area burned and exacerbate fire behavior. Although stand-level fire behavior models suggest that bark beetle-induced tree mortality increases flammability of stands by changing canopy and forest f...
