The spiraling cyclone track – Cyclone Nathan
Earth scienceAsked by: Alexandra Blanco What are the 4 types of cyclones? There are 4 types of cyclones and they are: Tropical cyclone. Polar cyclone. Mesocyclone. Extratropical cyclone. What is a cat 5 cyclone? Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction. A category five cyclone’s strongest winds are VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds with typical gusts over open flat land
Does the feel of temperature change, when you’re in two different places
Earth scienceAsked by: Sheryl Siebert Can the same temperature feel different in different places? In fact, the very numbers of thermal comfort aren’t even universal. There are dozens of ways to measure what a hot summer day actually feels like; different countries do it differently, and how you measure affects how we communicate and understand risk.
How to predict when contrails are likely to form over a specific location using public data?
Earth scienceAsked by: Sheryl Siebert How well can Persistent contrails be predicted? Contrails are persistent when R H i ≥ 1 . Thus, the summary of this analysis is that while contrail formation can be forecasted quite reliably, their much more important property of persistence cannot currently be predicted reliably. Which part of the atmosphere are
1.5° above what?
Earth scienceAsked by: Jonathan Dean What is the 1.5 degree target? The 1.5 °C target is the goal of the Paris Agreement, which calls for countries to take concerted climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit global warming. What is 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels? But in terms of how much warming
How to calculate rate of change of temperature with pressure in Earth’s troposhere?
Earth scienceAsked by: Jonathan Dean What is the rate of change in temperature in the troposphere? As the density of the gases in this layer decrease with height, the air becomes thinner. Therefore, the temperature in the troposphere also decreases with height in response. As one climbs higher, the temperature drops from an average around 62°F
What kind of storm tracks produce snow in the eastern United States?
Earth scienceAsked by: Amber Rodriguez A nor’easter is a type of storm that forms along the East CoastEast CoastThe Eastern United States, commonly referred to as the American East, Eastern America, or simply the East, is the region of the United States to the east of the Mississippi River. In some cases the term may refer
Source of sub-surface ringwoodite water
Earth scienceAsked by: Amber Rodriguez Where is ringwoodite found? upper mantle Olivine, wadsleyite, and ringwoodite are polymorphs found in the upper mantle of the earth. At depths greater than about 660 kilometres (410 mi), other minerals, including some with the perovskite structure, are stable. The properties of these minerals determine many of the properties of the
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.
