Tornado prediction or forecasting by supercomputers
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Pugh Can supercomputers be used in weather forecasting? The National Weather Service uses supercomputers around the clock to accurately produce forecasts, watches, warnings and a whole host of data for the public. Why is Supercomputer important in weather forecasting? They can run higher resolution models to see smaller scale features in the
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
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,
Why continents do not subduct
Continental RiftingAsked by: Veronica Mitchell But here’s the hitch: the reason these fragments smash into the continent instead of sinking into the mantle is that they are too light and thick to subduct. The buoyant crust gets stuck and chokes the subduction zone. Somehow, though, these geologic conveyer belts eventually resume their descent. Do continents ever
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.
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
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
Composition of Martian Crust
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Hernandez Based on these data sources, scientists think that the most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust are silicon, oxygen, iron, magnesium, aluminium, calcium, and potassium. These elements are major components of the minerals comprising igneous rocks. What is the composition of Mars crust? It’s made of iron, nickel, and sulfur.
Literature on thematic 4D maps

Graduated Symbol Map. Heat Map. Cartogram. What topics could thematic maps be about? A thematic map focuses on the spatial variability of a specific distribution or theme (such as
Volcano in ocean?
Earth ObservationAsked by: Brian Barber Is there a volcano in the ocean? Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep, and difficult to find. But in May of 2009, scientists captured the deepest ocean eruption ever found. Nearly 4000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean – in an area between Samoa, Fiji and
