Referencing The Climatic Impact Of Desert Dust Granada, Spain (SPX) Jun 05, 2009
In the context of the climatic change of the planet, those research works that throw light on global warming are of great interest. That is the case of the studies on atmospheric aerosol, a suspension of solid or liquid particles on a gaseous environment that can contribute to the warming or cooling of the atmosphere. Juan Luis Guerrero Rascado developed his doctoral thesis "Lidar ... read moreIridescent Ice Clouds From Aircraft Wings
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Apr 03, 2009Not all condensation trails are the same. Scientists from the German Aerospace Center have, for the first time, been able to describe how condensation trails are created not only from the exhaust gas of jet engines but, under certain conditions, also by the wings of aeroplanes. It is unclear to what extent this new class of condensation trail influences climate change, as up until now it h ... more

Australia issues warning on Hong Kong's dirty air
Hong Kong (AFP) March 25, 2009Australia has issued a new health alert to travellers, warning that Hong Kong's bad air could aggravate some medical conditions. The updated advice on the Department of Foreign Affairs website said "levels of air pollution in Hong Kong may aggravate bronchial, sinus or asthma conditions". "People with existing heart or respiratory illnesses should reduce physical exertion and outdoor act ... more Rendezvous With HALO
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Mar 06, 2009The pilots and scientists of the 31 research institutes who supported the construction of the Euro 62 million jet have waited a long time for this day. Many of DLR's employees are using their lunch break to watch the takeoff of the eagerly awaited aeroplane. While the technician on duty asks his colleagues to leave the apron, the film crew that has arrived for the airworthiness certificati ... more SKoreans buy air purifiers amid "yellow dust" warning
Seoul (AFP) Feb 27, 2009South Koreans are stocking up on air purifiers following a forecast of especially severe "yellow dust" storms from China and Mongolia this spring, officials said Friday. Forecasters say the annual dust storms will be particularly bad this spring because north China and the deserts of Mongolia, where they originate, suffered the worst drought in 50 years. The temperature there is also two ... more More Reasons To Hate Humidity
College Station TX (SPX) Feb 25, 2009Here's yet another reason to hate humidity: it expands global warming, says a Texas A and M University professor. Andrew Dessler, a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences who specializes in research on climate, says that warming due to increases in greenhouse gases will lead to higher humidity in the atmosphere. And because water vapor itself is a greenhouse gas, this ... more |

Does Global Warming Lead To A Change In Upper Atmospheric Transport
Frankfurt, Germany (SPX) Jan 02, 2009Most atmospheric models predict that the rate of transport of air from the troposphere to the above lying stratosphere should be increasing due to climate change. Surprisingly, Dr. Andreas Engel together with an international group of researchers has now found that this does not seem to be happening. On the contrary, it seems that the air air masses are moving more slowly than predicted. This co ... more Does Global Warming Lead To A Change In Upper Atmospheric Transport

Boulder, Colo. (UPI) Dec 17, 2008 U.S. scientists say contrary to earlier projections, few developing countries will be able to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions for several decades. The study by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado warns continuing economic and technological disparities will make it more difficult than anticipated for developing countries to red ... more Research Into Fair-Weather Clouds Important In Climate Predictions
Delft, Netherlands (SPX) Dec 12, 2008Research at the Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) has led to better understanding of clouds, the unknown quantity in current climate models. Delft researcher Thijs Heus has tackled this issue with a combination of detailed computer simulations and airplane measurements. He charted data including cloud speed, temperature and the 'life span' of clouds to arrive at new ... more |
