Is it certain that hundred year floods have finite variance?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Holly White What is the probability of 100 year flood? a one percent chance The 100-year recurrence interval means that a flood of that magnitude has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year. How often does a 100 year flood occur? every 1 to 30 years ‘100-year’ floods will happen
Is there a way to calculate the ground and 10m temperature from standard 2m temperature measurements?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ayye Mackey How do you calculate surface temperature? 2) surface heat flux equation: H = r. c (Ts – T) / r, where r is the density of air, c its specific heat, and r is the diffusion resistance between the surface and the air. What is the temperature 10 feet below ground?
Why do tectonic plates have a tendency to drift closer to the equator?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ayye Mackey One driving factor of less significance influencing tectonic plate movement is however the Earth’s rotation. Apparently one such effect of the Earth’s rotation is the “PolePoleFrom pole to pole refers to the North Pole and South Pole of a planet; it means all over the world. In Wikipedia’s article on Invictus,
Latitude and Daylight Hours
Earth ScienceAsked by: Cortez Herndon latitude, for example, daylight is 14 hours long in June and 10 hours long in December. At 60° N. latitude, daylight lasts for more than 18 hours in June but for less than 6 hours in December. At the Equator there are always 12 hours of daylight. How does latitude affect
Is the Arctic ice dissapearing faster than IPCC models say?
Polar & Ice RegionsIs the Arctic Ice Really Vanishing Faster Than We Thought? Okay, let’s talk about the Arctic. It’s kind of a big deal, and not in a good way. We’ve all seen the pictures of polar bears looking stranded, right? Well, the disappearing ice is a real problem, and it might be even worse than the
How can I analyze how environmental conditions are related among different sites?
Outdoor GearOkay, so you want to get to grips with comparing environmental conditions across different spots? It’s more than just a cool science project; it’s seriously important for understanding how our world ticks, managing what we’ve got, and figuring out how our actions mess with things. Basically, we’re talking about gathering info, crunching numbers, and then
