Weather & ForecastsThe Northern Territory: Why Farming Up North is Such a Gamble Northern Australia. Just the name conjures up images of vast, untouched landscapes. And with the world clamoring for more food, it’s no wonder people are eyeing it as the next big agricultural frontier. After all, it’s close to Asia, and Australia has a rock-solid
Difference between climatology and meteorology only
Earth ScienceAsked by: Michelle Carter Differences Between Climatology and Meteorology Climatology deals with long term atmospheric behavior over a significant period time whereas meteorology deals with atmospheric phenomena at any time and over short time intervals lasting no more than a few days. What is the difference between meteorology and climatology? Meteorology focuses on short-term weather
Regarding forest fire season and using robotic devices for proactive efforts before any fires
Earth ScienceAsked by: Frank Dahlkemper What technology is used to prevent wildfires? While firefighting has largely remained unchanged, high-tech solutions are changing how wildfires are battled. Technologies, such as drones, robots, and satellites, are all being used to detect, impede, and douse fires. What data is important when fighting forest fires? Specialists consider air temperature, humidity,
How do we know the asteroids formed at the same time as earth?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Frank Dahlkemper The fact that the overwhelming majority of celestial objects within our solar system orbit in a like manner (same direction as the Sun’s rotation) is observational evidence that they formed at about the same time from the same processes. How do we know what asteroids are made of? While in orbit,
How accurately can a tsunami be predicted? Have there been any successful evacuations?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Stephanie Walker Can tsunamis be accurately predicted? Like the earthquakes that generate most tsunamis, scientists cannot predict when and where the next tsunami will strike. How can you predict if a tsunami is coming? Early warning signs of a tsunami One of the signs of a potential tsunami is the occurrence of a
Eliminating range folding error in doppler radar returns
Earth ScienceAsked by: Stephanie Walker What causes range folding? range_folding. Range folding takes place when a radar echo from outside the radar’s maximum unambiguous range gets displayed incorrectly within the radar range: The maximum unambiguous range is determined by the PRF (pulse repetition frequency). What are the factors affecting range resolution of a radar? Range resolution
