At the current rate of industrial and agricultural emissions, the carbon and other greenhouse gases in the planet's atmosphere are predicted to influence climate and weather patterns in chaotic ways, such as a major increase in wildfires, hurricane intensity, food shortages, heat waves and coastal flooding events.
Her current research explores the relationship between water management and weather patterns in the world's deserts.
This paper has reviewed some of the complex interactions of climate variability marked by ocean changes and weather patterns in different typological zones of Santos.
Plus, Microsoft's work in keeping uncrewed, low-power aircraft up and flying could have big impact on any plans to deliver internet to underserved areas from on high, monitor ground conditions and weather patterns in real-time, and more.
For example, satellites monitor weather patterns in a way impossible 50 years ago — and people have more time to evacuate before a hurricane.
In general, it's well-understood that increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are driving global warming, which in turn is driving the Earth's climate and weather patterns to change in a number of ways.
In addition, analysts say that a failure to gauge supply needs and weather patterns accurately in an up-and-down economy has added to the squeeze on supplies.
Heavy rains that have already fallen can damage crops soon to be harvested in Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas, and weather patterns pose a threat to crops in Louisiana and Mississippi, where bolls are already open and harvesting is under way, he said.
Late rains and erratic weather patterns in Somalia have raised concerns over a worsening of the food security situation, as food stocks from the last, poor harvest become depleted and prices continue to rise sharply, a new FAO report says.
BEIJING — A noxious cocktail of soot, smog and toxic chemicals is blotting out the sun, fouling the lungs of millions of people and altering weather patterns in large parts of Asia, according to a report released Thursday by the United Nations.
The recent El Nino, a climate pattern that occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean and affects weather around the world, and local weather patterns in Russia may have also contributed to this summer's abnormal conditions.
