While the magnitude of our ignorance is vast, enough is known to realise that the ocean governs the way the world functions, drives climate and weather, generates more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere, shapes planetary chemistry, stabilises temperature, and otherwise makes Earth hospitable for humankind and life as we know it.
"National character, a sense of place, the feeling people, place and weather generate".
Big fires also create their own weather, and research is needed on how the weather generated by a burning forest with a lot of dead trees differs from the weather created by a fire in a living forest.
So, FedEx could not anticipate the need to send backup planes and trucks to Freeport, Me. -- some by circuitous routes, because the snowstorm wreaked havoc with Northeast airports and roads -- to handle the unexpectedly high volume that the bad weather generated for L.L. Bean, which is based there.
Changing solar elevation and weather conditions generate logarithmic luminance changes; even the reflectance differences within sunlit scenes can vary over 104-fold [17].
The El Niño weather phenomenon generates increased rainfall and elevated sea surface temperatures and is a predictor of cholera outbreaks (8 ), which puts more coastal areas at risk for such outbreaks (9 ).
Steps in the proposed IAOM include: (1) weather generator module to generate feasible future climate conditions, (2) VIC model as the hydrological simulation module to generate streamflows from those future weather conditions, and (3) multipurpose reservoir optimization module to determine the optimal reservoir operations to deal with climate change.
The weathering process generates oil-in-water dispersions, consisting of oil droplets in the water phase.
The success of the weather station diffusion has been due to the value of the weather data generated, the adaptive business model, and the co-creation approach throughout the station and business model design.
A stochastic weather generator is used to generate future climate change scenarios for the catchment by downscaling GCM realizations in space and time.
One is a series of unseasonably dry years attributed to El Niño, the name given to the weather pattern generated by warm Pacific currents off the South American coast.
