Can historical emissions data be used for a future WRF-Chem model run?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Shannon Young What is WRF-Chem model? WRF-Chem is the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with Chemistry. The development of WRF-Chem is a collaborative effort among the community. NOAA/ESRL scientists are the leaders and caretakers of the code. The Official WRF-Chem web page is located at the NOAA web site. Is WRF

What would the equilibrium temperature be at the poles in a world without seasonality?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Juan Liek Why is the temperature at the poles always low? Both polar regions of the earth are cold, primarily because they receive far less solar radiation than the tropics and mid-latitudes do. At either pole the sun never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon and both locations experience six months

Why is there no middle ground between tornadoes and hurricanes?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Juan Liek What would happen if a tornado and hurricane collide? Quote from video: And it brings with it the potential for catastrophic damage backed by storm surges as high as 8 meters. Can a hurricane and a tornado happen at the same time? Individual storm clouds within hurricanes may spawn tornadoes as

If the Earth were a smooth spheroid, how deep would the ocean be?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Anthony Carrick The Earth’s oceans contain an estimate 1.332 billion cubic kilometres of water and the planet has a total surface area of 510.1 million square kilometres. That means, if evenly spread over a smooth sphere of that surface area, it would be covered by an ocean to the depth of 2.611 kilometres.

What is the physical meaning of the von Kármán constant?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Anthony Carrick What is the value of Karman constant? The best estimate for the von Kármán constant in turbulent pipe flow is found to be 0.40±0.02. What is von Karman equation? The Von Karman equation introduced a system of two fourth order elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations which can be used to describe

What happens if it rains above the boiling point of water?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Maria Molina It will depend on how the temperature and humidity change as the raindrops approach the bottom of the column. If the air is hothot‘Warm’ is used to explain the temperature below average. but ‘hot’ describes the temperature of objects especially in heat condition. Why is the boiling point lower when it
