In response, Mr. Hammond accused Ms. Eagle of "failing to recognize the scale of the weather event".
"It's because of a long chain of things that have to happen from the large scale of big weather systems you see on satellite images down to the fronts we're looking at today, and all the way down to the formation of raindrops.
And more widely, as the severity and scale of extreme weather events ratchets up in coming years we are going to have to find new ways of scaling up the global response to climate damage.
This is the deliberate attempt to reduce warming by the planetary-scale manipulation of weather patterns, oceans, currents, soils and atmosphere to decrease the amount of greenhouses gases.
Scaling up of weather index insurance pilot projects is particularly constrained by high-basis risk, related to the divergence between the calculated weather index and actual productivity loss on the farm.
Similarly, the cases from Kenya and Malawi are important in the on-going discourse regarding scaling up of weather index insurance and will inform the discussion on interlinking weather index insurance with credit.
In this study of a laterite landscape on a granitic rock in Uganda, we used element concentrations from neutron activation analysis (NAA) to develop a suite of robust geochemical indices for landscape-scale analysis of weathering and oxidation-reduction (redox) processes in laterite formation.
In Gulyaeva et al. (2008), a segmented logarithmic scale of the ionospheric weather W index is introduced for the different thresholds of change in NeF2 according to Eq. (4) for quantifying the ionosphere variability.
Readers will learn how to design business models that support lightning-fast growth, navigate necessary shifts in strategy at each level of scale, and weather the management challenges that arise as their company grows.
Robert Gall, lead scientist for the U.S. Weather Research Program, explains that once computers have the power and speed of up to several teraflops, they'll then be able to create virtual models of the atmosphere on the scale at which a lot of weather conditions actually form.
On the vernacular Scots weather scale of "taps" (tops) "oan" or "aff" (on or off), the 2013 instalment of this first big weekender of the festival summer falls delightfully into the latter category.
