Arctic Sea Melting Enhancing the Effect of Global Warming in High Latitudes The world warmed by about 0.7°C in the 20th century. Every year in this century has been warmer than all but one in the last century (1998). If carbon-dioxide levels were magically to stabilize where they are now (almost 390 parts per million‚ 40% more than before the industrial revolution) the world would probably warm by a further half a degree or so as the ocean‚ which is slow to change its temperature‚ caught up.

WEATHER Clouds: Where two masses of air from different sources and with different characteristics meet‚ Boundary lines are formed where the cooler and heavier air runs under the warmer and Lighter air and compels it to rise. As in the previous case the expansion and cooling of this air results in the formation of Clouds spreads as a more or less continuous of stratiform clouds. Air may be forced to rise up the sides of mountains and high grounds towards which the wind is blowing..The consequent

My roommate had a dilemma in the evening before he left the dormitory to catch a morning flight: whether to wash and then pack clean bed sheets‚ but not sleep comfortably on his own bed; or not launder them‚ sleep well‚ and stuff the dirty bedclothes into a box and store it over the vacation. Our female friend heard us trying to find a solution to the dilemma and suggested that we could share my bed for one night‚ and the problem would‚ thus‚ be solved. Surprised by her queer suggestion‚ we were

1. Assume that you have 100 years of continuous temperature records from your local weather service office. Discuss some of the difficulties you might have trying to determine whether average temperatures have increased during this period. 2. What are meant by the terms positive and negative feedback mechanisms? Give an example of a process that would be considered a positive feedback mechanism during a period of warming on the earth. Can you think of a negative feedback mechanism? 3. Discuss

The Earth as a Planet It is important to look at the Earth in its context as only one of the nine planets which make up the solar system. This is an introduction to the Solar System‚ its formation‚ and composition‚ with special emphasis on the "terrestrial" or "inner" planets. I take a kind of historical approach‚ noting the patterns and regularities observed‚ for example‚ by Tycho Brahe‚ described by Johannes Kepler‚ and explained by Sir Isaac Newton. Laplace and even the philosopher Immanuel

1 CHAPTER 3 PLANE AND SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY 3.1 Introduction It is assumed in this chapter that readers are familiar with the usual elementary formulas encountered in introductory trigonometry. We start the chapter with a brief review of the solution of a plane triangle. While most of this will be familiar to readers‚ it is suggested that it be not skipped over entirely‚ because the examples in it contain some cautionary notes concerning hidden pitfalls. This is followed by a quick review of spherical

If earth were either all land or all water and did not rotate on its axis‚ a large convection cell would form in each hemisphere with the colder and denser air at the poles sinking to the surface and flowing toward the tropics. There‚ it would force the warm air already at the equator to rise‚ and then it would cool and flow back toward the poles. The problem with this proposal is that Earth does rotate from west to east. This rotation causes the Coriolis effect‚ wherein moving particles such as
