According to Eq. (4), this corresponds to northward directions of the wave heat fluxes, which can heat regions near the North Pole in winter and contribute to the evolution of the sudden stratospheric warming events.
In the present sensitivity study, we used the same amplitudes (2 × 10−5 K/s) of the wave heat sources at altitude 10 km for all the above-mentioned NAMs.
According to Eq. (4), an upward direction of the EP-flux vector relates to the northward wave heat flux and the southward directed EP-flux vector relates to the northward PW momentum flux.
Keyword/phrase searches were conducted using PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/), and Google (http://google.com/) for the following terms: "heat wave," "heat event," "extreme heat," "extreme temperature," "temperature event," "intervention," "adaptation," "mitigation," "warning," "advisory," "cooling center," and "cool center".
A heat wave, heat storm can cause power failures via overloading the power systems.
Take a 1 liter (0.3 US gal) or a 2 liter (0.5 US gal) bottle, fill it full of water, place it in a freezer until frozen, then place it in a medium to large bowl, get a fan (preferably solar powered, since a heat wave, heat storm will cause power to fail) and let it blow all over the bottle in the bowl.
Two plasma-heating methods have been highly developed: electromagnetic wave heating and neutral-beam injection heating.
The shock wave heats gas to millions of degrees, producing X-rays in the process.
But wave heating provides only enough energy to heat the corona to about 1.5 million°C, he notes.
The shock wave heats the sparse matter near the star, creating a supernovalike display.
