Reference Temperature vs Average Air Temperature: Understanding the Key Differences
Weather & ForecastsTemperature is one of the most important parameters in Earth science and is measured and monitored in a variety of ways. Two of the most commonly used temperature metrics are reference temperature and mean air temperature. While these terms may sound similar, they have very different meanings and applications. In this article, we will explore
Convert methane emissions calculated with GWP100 to GWP20
Historical AspectsMethane is a potent greenhouse gas that is estimated to be responsible for about 20% of the global warming that has occurred since the pre-industrial era. Methane has a global warming potential (GWP) that is much higher than that of carbon dioxide (CO2), which means that even small amounts of methane emissions can have a
