Weather, Climate and the Air We Breathe
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
This theme is particularly appropriate at a time when communities around the globe are struggling to attain the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, especially in terms of health, food, water security and poverty alleviation, as well as to increase their effectiveness in preventing and mitigating natural disasters, of which 90 per cent are directly related to weather, climate and water hazards ...
The Impacts of Atmospheric Deposition to the Ocean on Marine Ecosystems and Climate
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
https://www.uea.ac.uk/environmental-sciences The transfer of chemicals from the atmosphere to the ocean has long had an impact on the ocean (e.g. nutrient source; pH influence). With the advent of the Anthropocene, the transfer of some chemicals has increased over natural levels and the transfer of new chemicals has commenced. This brief review examines the impact of the increased transfer of certain nutrients (nitrogen, iron and phosphorus), toxins (lead and mercury) and pH regulators (carbon dioxide) on ocean ecosystems and climate.
Implications of Climate Change for Air Quality
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
Changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere, which have resulted from massive industrialization, intensive agriculture and urbanization, as well as road, maritime and air traffic, have led directly and indirectly to enhanced radiative forcing with, as a result, future changes in the Earth’s temperatures and hydrological cycles.
Weather and Climate Change Implications for Surface Transportation in the USA
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (2) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 April 2009
Weather affects the operation of the transportation systems that we all rely on—from automobiles slowed by a wet surface, to delivery trucks delayed by high winds, to passenger trains stalled by ice and snow.
Meteorological Services to Aviation
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (2) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 April 2009
Wilbur also requested and scrutinized US Weather Bureau data, and selected Kitty Hawk after writing to the government meteorologist stationed there. Thus began a relationship between aviators and meteorologists in the lead-up to the first controlled powered flight by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1903.
Meteorology and Marine Transportation
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (2) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 April 2009
According to the Book of Genesis, the third day of the creation process saw the separation of land and sea. This clearly provided a medium for transportation over long distances for the humans still to be created and at the same time laid the groundwork for the new science and profession of marine meteorology.
The Carbonaceous Aerosol—a Remaining Challenge
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
The ambient aerosol level remains a major challenge in atmospheric science due to its ability to cause negative health effects and its ability to influence the radiative balance and, thus, the Earth’s surface temperature. Our knowledge of the mechanisms by which the effects can be explained, however, is still a matter of ongoing research.
Meteorology for Travellers
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (2) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 April 2009
Everyone travels at some time in his or her life. With the advent of low-cost air travel, more people travel farther and faster than ever before in human history.
Weather monitoring and forecasting services for provincial highways and railways in China
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (2) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 April 2009
Along with the rapid increases in volumes of traffic, safety has become an increasing challenge. Severe weather is one of the main causes of traffic accidents.
Possible Influences of Air Pollution, Dust-and Sandstorms on the Indian Monsoon
Weather, Climate, Climate services, Drought, Floods, Greenhouse gases, Research, Clouds, Oceans, Water, El Niño / La Niña
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
In Asian monsoon countries, such as China and India, human health and safety problems caused by air pollution are becoming increasingly serious, due to the increased loading of atmospheric pollutants from waste gas emissions and from rising energy demand associated with the rapid pace of industrialization and modernization.
