Search Results - Climate

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Climate encompasses the temperatures, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and numerous other meteorogical factors in a given region over long periods of time, as opposed to the term weather, which refers to current activity. The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, persistent ice or snow cover, as well as nearby oceans and their currents. Climates can be classified using parameters such as temperature and rainfall to define specific climate types. The most commonly used classification scheme is the one originally developed by Wladimir Koeppen. The Thornthwaite system,[1] in use since 1948, incorporates evapotranspiration in addition to temperature and precipitation information and is used in studying animal species diversity and potential impacts of climate changes. The Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses defining the climate for certain areas.

Climate (from Ancient Greek klima) is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period of time.[2] The standard averaging period is 30&_160;years,[3] but other periods may be used depending on the purpose. Climate also includes statistics other than the average, such as the magnitudes of day-to-day or year-to-year variations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) glossary definition is

The difference between climate and weather is usefully summarized by the popular phrase "Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get."[5] Over historical time spans there are a number of static variables that determine climate, including latitude, altitude, proportion of land to water, and proximity to oceans and mountains. Other climate determinants are more dynamic for example, the thermohaline circulation of the ocean leads to a 5&_160;°C (9&_160;°F) warming of the northern Atlantic ocean compared to other ocean basins.[6] Other ocean currents redistribute heat between land and water on a more regional scale. The density and type of vegetation coverage affects solar heat absorption,[7] water retention, and rainfall on a regional level. Alterations in the quantity of atmospheric greenhouse gases determines the amount of solar energy retained by the planet, leading to global warming or global cooling. The variables which determine climate are numerous and the interactions complex, but there is general agreement that the broad outlines are understood, at least insofar as the determinants of historical climate change are concerned.[8]

There are several ways to classify climates into similar regimes. Originally, climes were defined in Ancient Greece to describe the weather depending upon a location's latitude. Modern climate classification methods can be broadly divided into genetic methods, which focus on the causes of climate, and empiric methods, which focus on the effects of climate. Examples of genetic classification include methods based on the relative frequency of different air mass types or locations within synoptic weather disturbances. Examples of empiric classifications include climate zones defined by plant hardiness,[9] evapotranspiration,[10] air mass origin, or more generally the Köppen climate classification which was originally designed to identify the climates associated with certain biomes. A common shortcoming of these classification schemes is that they produce distinct boundaries between the zones they define, rather than the gradual transition of climate properties more common in nature.

2. Fireplaces :- Transform that room
August 26, 2008

I think you will agree that a living room without a fireplace is like a kitchen with no cooker, pointless. Even if you are lucky to live in a warm climate there will still be times of the year or times at the end of a stressful day when the relaxing glow or the heat of a fire will be a sight for sore eyes and can make the most bland and cold of rooms into a calm and welcoming place. The good news is that if your room doesn't have a fireplace and you don't like the thought of construction and dust to correct this then you could put in a false fireplace. Available in gas or electri a fake firepl... (read more)

The word perfume is derived from a Latin word "per fumum" meaning through smoke. Women love to apply perfume as it lasts for a longer time. Lot of fragrances is being introduced every year like the floral, fruit, ocean, green, oriental, chype. While choosing a perfume know your skin type, the smell and the climate.

Keeper’s Child, Leslie Davis, 2007, ISBN 9781894063012 Set in the near future, this takes place on a continent whose population and climate have been ravaged by disease and genetic mutation. It all began innocently enough. Many years before, a cargo ship full of genetic material sank off the coast. Over 600 migrants were hired to clean up the mess.

7. Xeriscape - Landscape Water Conservation
August 22, 2008

Xeriscaping literally means "dry"-landscaping. This form of landscaping is designed to use plants that are not overly reliant on water. Also, conservation of water resources, these days, is of the utmost importance when one takes climate-change into consideration. Xeriscaping, being a more efficient use of water to take care of your garden, has become popular in areas that are naturally dry and areas that are prone to drought (Australia being one example). In America, much of the land west of the Rocky Mountains is considered semi-arid, prone to drought and therefore, a good area to consider... (read more)

The summer just doesn’t feel right without trips to the beach, endless barbeques and noticeable tan lines, but once again the British climate has failed to provide the appropriate conditions. Many will write off the year as a waste, but others will be looking for holidays abroad to take in some much-needed autumn sun.

The UK Government announced in February 2008 under the Climate Change Bill a legal commitment to reduce UK carbon emissions between 60 and 80 pct cut UK by 2050. The Bill also introduces a carrot and stick system, the Carbon Reduction Commitment for large non-energy organisations and businesses representing around 10 percent of UK CO2 emissions from 2010 which will inevitably have a knock on impact on small businesses and consumers. Coupled with the European Emissions Trading system some fifty percent of net UK carbon emissions will soon be capped in some way. However, with only a very s... (read more)

Although Europe is committed to reduce carbon emissions to 12.5 pct below the 1990 level within the next four years motivated by legitimate public concern about climate change. Outside of the European Emissions Trading System, which caps large emitters, the policy responses in each country differ. The influential Green movement in Germany has ensured large investment in wind power to reduce carbon emissions and similar to the English public they are uncomfortable with nuclear power although it supplies circa 80 pct of French energy. The UK Government increases public taxes on the pretext to... (read more)
