Lanes of flat ocean surface in coastal waters
Earth ScienceAsked by: Aaron Zilla What are the lines on the surface of the ocean? These patches are actually called windrows, and they are usually parallel lines of “stuff” sometime stretching for more than a kilometer. In our waters they are composed largely of sargassum, foam/bubbles, and a mixture of floating polyfoam, plastic, and other jetsam
Does the geographic North Pole move?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ann Shaw The magnetic and geomagnetic poles change quite drastically. But even the geographic north pole moves up to 10 meters a year as the earth wobbles on its axis due to seasonal air pressure differences across the globe, melting ice caps, and so on. Does the North Pole always move? Magnetic north
Where can I get archived hourly temperature data?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ann Shaw The authoritative sources for your data are: ASOS: Automated Surface Observation Systems at airports, and. MADIS: the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System, from NOAA. How do I find historical temperature data? How to Obtain Historical Climate Data Local Current Conditions. Local Enhanced Radar. Local Standard Radar (low bandwidth) Regional Standard Radar
What are the distinguishing features of an “artificial seismic wave” (e.g. a large underground explosion)
Earth ScienceAsked by: Shannon Young What are the 4 characteristics of seismic waves? Love Waves—surface waves that move parallel to the Earth’s surface and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.. P-wave Motion. P-wave:the primary body wave; the first seismic wave detected by seismographs; able to move through both liquid and solid rock. … S-wave Motion.
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
