A data logger is an electronic instrument that records environmental parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, light intensity, water level and water quality over time. Typically, data loggers are compact, battery-powered devices that are equipped with microprocessor input channels and data storage. Most data loggers utilize turnkey software on a personal comp...

Predicting short term wind speed is essential in order to prevent systems in-action from the effects of strong winds. It also helps in using wind energy as an alternative source of energy, mainly for Electrical power generation. Wind speed prediction has applications in Military and civilian fields for air traffic control, rocket launch, ship navigation etc. The wind speed in near future depend...

Observations of lake-effect storms that occur over the Great Lakes region during late autumn and winter indicate a high sensitivity to ambient wind speed and direction. In this paper, a twodimensional version of the Penn State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU/ NCAR) model is used to investigate the wind speed effects on lake-effect snowstorms that occur over the Great La...

Measured air temperature, relative humidity, wind and sunshine duration measurements between 1995 and 2007 for Al Ain city in United Arab Emirates (UAE) were used for the estimation of monthly average daily global radiation on horizontal using Artificial Neural Network technique. Weather data between 1995 and 2006 were used for training the neural network, while the data of year 2007 was used f...

BACKGROUND Pacing strategy plays a major role in sport performance. However, there is a dearth of knowledge concerning pacing during ultra-endurance sport events. The present case study investigated the pacing of an ultra-cyclist in a self-paced attempt to break the world record in 24-h road cycling and, with all the caveats and the limitations affecting a case report, could be useful in genera...

In an effort to develop methods based on integrating the subsurface to the atmospheric boundary layer to estimate evaporation, we developed a model based on the coupling of Navier-Stokes free flow and Darcy flow in porous medium. The model was tested using experimental data to study the effect of wind speed on evaporation. The model consists of the coupled equations of mass conservation for two...

[1] Atmospheric moisture content is expected to rise in response to global warming, but climate models predict a much slower rate of precipitation increase. This muted response of the hydrological cycle is investigated from a surface evaporation perspective, using a multimodel ensemble of simulations under the A1B forcing scenario. A 90-year analysis of surface evaporation based on a standard b...

With the continuous progress of human production and life, air quality has become the focus of attention. In this paper, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan provinces were taken as the study area, where there are 58 air quality monitoring stations from which daily and monthly data are obtained. Firstly, the temporal characteristics of the air quality index (AQI) are explored. Th...
