How do I convert Sentinel-5p / TROPOMI vertical column density to concentration?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Sanny Mckinney What is vertical column density? The total concentration along this line is called the vertical column density (VCD). It is this VCD that provides the most useful and directly interpretable information on the distribution and concentration of trace gases. It is therefore desirable to convert the SCD into the VCD.Dec 9,
Model impact of atmopsheric circulation changes on precipitation dD of a region
Earth ScienceAsked by: Sanny Mckinney How does atmospheric circulation affect precipitation? Atmospheric circulation transports heat over the surface of the Earth that affects the water cycle, including the formation of clouds and precipitation events. The movement of air masses brings us our daily weather, and long-term patterns in circulation determine regional climate and ecosystems. What are
Why continents do not subduct
Geology & LandformWhy Continents Refuse to Take a Dive: The Subduction Story Ever wonder what makes our planet tick? Earth’s surface is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, with tectonic plates constantly bumping and grinding against each other. These plates, made of the crust and upper mantle, are the reason we have earthquakes, volcanoes, and those jaw-dropping mountain
How will climate change affect the 3D distribution of lapse rate in the atmosphere?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Veronica Mitchell What is the reason behind negative lapse rate in stratosphere? This is due to the absorbtion by ozone of the sun’s UV radiation and is in sharp contrast to the lower atmosphere. There it generally gets colder as you go higher due to the expansion of gases as the pressure decreases.
Any idea what are these circular rock marks?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Chad Cooper How can you tell what kind of rock you have? Possibilities include: Your state geological survey. A natural science museum. A college or university with a geology department. A rockshop. Members of a local Gem & Mineral club or Rockhunting club (many hobbyists are experts at identification) Vendors at a Gem
Is Russia going to benefit from climate change?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Chad Cooper Which country will benefit from climate change? More specifically, nearly all the added land-value benefits of a warming world might accrue to Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia, and Scandinavia. What is Russia doing for climate change? The Russian Federation approved its ‘Strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation with low greenhouse
