GEOMAGNETIC FORECASTS
type: Concept
change note: Date=2013-03-11 User Id=tbs1979 Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Pertaining to the data and methods used to forecast variations and storms in the Earth's magnetic field. New Value=Forecasts of the likelihood (from 1% to 99%) that the daily geomagnetic activity level will reach a particular activity category. The four categories are Quiet to Unsettled, Active, Minor Storm, and Major to Severe Storm. The geomagnetic category assigned to a day is determined by the highest observed k-index for the day. Quiet to Unsettled = k 0 to k 3, Active = k 4, Minor Storm = k 5, and Major to Severe Storm = k 6 to k 9. Middle-latitude forecasts are verified against Fredericksburg, VA observations and High-latitude forecasts are verified against College, AK observations. Forecast lead times range from one to three days.

  text: American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online 'http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary'
definition: Soil within which the moisture has predominantly changed to ice, the unfrozen portion being in vapor phase. Ice within the soil bonds (adfreezes) adjacent soil particles and renders frozen ground very hard. Permanently frozen ground is called permafrost. Dry frozen ground is relatively loose and crumbly because of the lack of bonding ice. Frozen ground is sometimes inadvisedly called frost or ground frost.

  text: GISP2 (Greenland) Ice Cores and Climate Change: http://www.gisp2.sr.unh.edu/GISP2/MoreInfo/Ice_Cores_Past.html
definition: An important baseline measurement in ice cores is electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivity measurements (ECM) of the core is a very rapid methodto indicate how acidic the core is without the chemical detail of the ionanalyses. The value of the measurement is that it can be done for the wholelength of the core in high resolution and provide an immediate picture of thecore and allow quick detection of interesting areas, such as a volcaniceruptions. Because it is a high resolution, continuous measurement it can beused, along with the other measurements, for time frequency analysis in orderto identify cycles in the climate signal.

definition: The NINO3.4 index is one of several El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indicators based on sea surface temperatures.NINO3.4 is the average sea surface temperature anomaly in the region bounded by 5°N to 5°S, from 170°W to 120°W. This region has large variability on El Niño time scales, and is close to the region where changes in local sea-surface temperature are important for shifting the large region of rainfall typically located in the far western Pacific.An El Niño or La Niña event is identified if the 5-month running-average of the NINO3.4 index exceeds +0.4°C for El Niño or -0.4°C for La Niña for at least 6 consecutive months.

This castellanus character is especially evident when the cloud is seen from the side. The cumuliform cloud elements generally have a common base and usually seem to be arranged in lines. The species is found only in the genera cirrus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, and stratocumulus. Cirrus castellanus differs from cirrocumulus castellanus in that its vertical protuberances subtend an angle of more than 1° when observed at an angle of more than 30° above the horizon. When altocumulus castellanus and stratocumulus castellanus attain a considerable vertical development, they become cumulus congestus and often develop into cumulonimbus. Stratocumulus castellanus should not be confused with stratocumulus pierced by cumulus. language code: en

definition: Radiation budget refers to the difference between the absorbed solarradiation and the net infrared radiation. The radiation budget takes intoaccount the sum of all radiation, transferred in all directions, throughthe Earth's atmosphere and to and from space. The radiation budget (orradiation balance) controls the Earth's temperature and rainfall.

The cryosphere exerts an important influence on Earth’s climate, owing to its high surface reflectivity (albedo). This property gives it the ability to reflect a large fraction of solar radiation back into space and influences how much solar energy is absorbed by land and oceans. Ice on land, in the form of ice sheets and glaciers, plays a further important role in the Earth system through its ability to store vast amounts of water away from the oceans for long periods of time. Any change in the ice volume stored on land, as ice sheets and glaciers grow or shrink, has a direct impact on global mean sea level. As the climate changes, the cryosphere changes with it and, through feedback processes, these changes have an influence on the climate. For example, the increased melting of snow and ice caused by a warming planet enables more solar energy to be absorbed by land or water, which in turn leads to more warming. This is also known as the snow- or ice-albedo feedback. language code: en

VLBI (VERY LONG BASELINE INTERFEROMETRY)
type: Concept

change note: Date=2025-02-25 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a geometric technique: it measures the time difference between the arrival at two Earth-based antennas of a radio wavefront emitted by a distant quasar. Using large numbers of time difference measurements from many quasars observed with a global network of antennas, VLBI determines the inertial reference frame defined by the quasars and simultaneously the precise positions of the antennas. Because the time difference measurements are precise to a few picoseconds, VLBI determines the relative positions of the antennas to a few millimeters and the quasar positions to fractions of a milliarcsecond. Since the antennas are fixed to the Earth, their locations track the instantaneous orientation of the Earth in the inertial reference frame. The celestial reference frame is defined by VLBI. The International Astronomical Union has adopted over 3,400 extragalactic radio sources (mostly quasars) used by VLBI as the defining objects of the celestial reference frame. Extragalactic objects form a true inertial reference frame because they are at such great distances that their motions across the sky are undetectable. Positions of stars in our galaxy are now tied to this reference frame, and this is the same reference frame used for measuring Earth orientation. VLBI is unique in its ability to make rapid, accurate measurements of the orientation of the terrestrial reference frame with respect to the celestial reference frame. VLBI observations are sponsored by over 40 organizations located in 19 countries. VLBI determines with unequaled accuracy the terrestrial reference frame (antenna locations on the Earth), the celestial reference frame (quasar positions on the sky), and Earth's orientation in space. language code: en

definition: Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHCs) are hydrocarbons such as ethylene, butane, hexane, propane and, by definition, exclude the first member of that analogous series, CH4. Large quantities of NMHCs are emitted from vegetation, the vast majority as isoprene, C5H8. This emission is significant compared to that of anthropogenic NMHC.

definition: Carbon (C) is the 12th element in the periodic table. Carbon is one of the mostversatile elements and combines itself with many other elements to form a hugevariety of organic compounds including hydrocarbons and their derivitives. Hydrocarbons are organic molecules consisting of carbon and hydrogen, but theterm is often applied to derivitives of hydrocarbons consisting of oxygen,halogens, etc. Hydrocarbons can occur from both natural and anthropogenicemissions.

  text: NOAA/ National Weather Service National Centers for Environmental Prediction Climate Prediction Center
definition: The East Pacific - North Pacific (EP- NP) pattern is a Spring-Summer-Fall pattern with three main anomaly centers. The positive phase of this pattern features positive height anomalies located over Alaska/ Western Canada, and negative anomalies over the central North Pacific and eastern North America. Strong positive phases of the EP-NP pattern are associated with a southward shift and intensification of the Pacific jet stream from eastern Asia to the eastern North Pacific, followed downstream by an enhanced anticyclonic circulation over western North America, and by an enhanced cyclonic circulation over the eastern United States. Strong negative phases of the pattern are associated with circulation anomalies of opposite sign in these regions.The positive phase of the EP-NP pattern is associated with above-average surface temperatures over the eastern North Pacific, and below-average temperatures over the central North Pacific and eastern North America. The main precipitation anomalies associated with this pattern reflect above-average precipitation in the area north of Hawaii and below-average precipitation over southwestern Canada.

definition: A Catalog service is defined as Data Handling Services that provide a listing of items arranged systematically with descriptive details. These items include, but are not limited to, data sets, reference materials, and other services. Catalog services are, however, limited to topics of relevance to the Earth Sciences and Global Environmental Change. These foci must be reflected by a majority of the items listed in the catalog. Catalog services also include any tools that may be used to create a catalog or facilitate the inclusion or maintenance of a listing within a catalog. EXAMPLES: NASA's Global Change Master Directory, Geospatial One-Stop (catalogs) and docBUILDER (metadata management).

definition: Suspension of particles of condensed matter (liquid, solid, or mixed) ina carrier gas (usually air). Aerosols are important in the atmosphere asnuclei for the condensation of water droplets and ice crystals, asparticipants in various chemical cycles, and as absorbers and scatterersof solar radiation, thereby influencing the radiation budget of theearth-atmosphere system, which in turn influences the climate on thesurface of the Earth.

DATA NETWORKING/DATA TRANSFER TOOLS
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Adapted from Webopedia: http://www.webopedia.com/
definition: Data networking tools refer to tools and services that facilitate the ability of two or more computers to communicate together and to share data with each other. Data transfer tools refer to tools and services that manage or facilitate the transmission of data from one computer or device to another. For example, grid computing is a form of networking that harnesses the processing cycles of all computers connected in a network to solve problems that are too large for any one computer. In the Earth sciences, these tools facilitate the networking of large volumes of satellite data or climate model output data.

type: Concept
reference:
  text: Reference: Adapted from Webopedia: http://www.pcwebopedia.com/
definition: Transformation/Conversion services are defined as Data Handling Services that, in the case of transformation, apply an adjustment function to the original data that alters the absolute values of the data (e.g., interpolation, standardization, anomalies). In the case of conversion, the service is designed to apply a function to the data that transforms the relative value of the data but not the absolute (i.e., unit conversions). EXAMPLES: Anomalies (Transformation). Fahrenheit to Celsius (Conversion).

GAMMA RAY

  text: American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary Boorse, H. A., and L. Motz, 1966: The World of the Atom, Vol. I, 446448.
definition: Gamma Rays (or gamma radiation) is electromagnetic radiation originating from transitions between energy levels of atomic nuclei. A nucleus formed as a consequence of beta or alpha emission sometimes exists briefly in an excited energy level and makes a transition to a lower energy level accompanied by emission of a gamma ray photon with energy equal to the difference between the energies of the initial and final levels. Gamma ray energies from radioactive decay lie in the approximate range 10 keV6 MeV. Gammarays are also emitted in nuclear reactions. The boundary between x-rays and gamma rays is fuzzy, the latter term being most often used for electromagnetic radiation of nuclear origin.

definition: An irregular variation of ocean current that from January to March flows off the west coast of South America, carrying warm, low-salinity, nutrient-poor water to the south. It does not usually extend farther than a few degrees south of the equator, but occasionally it does penetrate beyond 12 degrees S, displacing the relatively cold Peru Current. The effects of this phenomenon are generally short-lived, and fishing is only slightly disrupted. Occasionally (in 1891, 1925, 1941, 1957 - 58, 1965, 1972 - 73, 1976, and 1982 - 83), the effects are major and prolonged. Under these conditions, sea surface temperatures rise along the coast of Peru and in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean and may remain high for more than a year, having disastrous effects on marine life and fishing. Excessive rainfall and flooding occur in the normally dry coastal area of western tropical South America during these events. Some oceanographers and meteorologists consider only the major, prolonged events as El Nino phenomena rather than the annually occurring weaker and short-lived ones. The name was originally applied to the latter events because of their occurrence at Christmas time. ('http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/glossary.html') Interacting parts of a single global system of climate fluctuations. ENSO is the most prominent known source of interannual variability in weather and climate around the world, though not all areas are affected. The Southern Oscillation (SO) is a global-scale seesaw in atmospheric pressure between Indonesia/North Australia, and the southeast Pacific. In major warm events El Nino warming extends over much of the tropical Pacific and becomes clearly linked to the SO pattern. Many of the countries most affected by ENSO events are developing countries with economies that are largely dependent upon their agricultural and fishery sectors as a major source of food supply, employment, and foreign exchange. New capabilities to predict the onset of ENSO event can have a globa…

definition: Glaciers are masses of land ice, formed by the further recrystallization of firn, flowing continuously from higher to lower elevations. Ice sheets are a continuous sheet of land ice that covers a very large area and moves outward inmany directions. This type of ice mass is so thick as to mask the land surface contours, in contrast to the smaller and thinner highland ice. The continental glacier of Greenland is sometimes called the Inland Ice. This term is often used to describe the great ice masses that characterized the ice ages.

ABYSSAL HILLS/PLAINS

  text: Rhodes W. Fairbridge. The Encyclopedia of Oceanography. Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1966. Glossary of Oceanography and the Related Geosciences with References, Steven K. Baum, Texas Center for Climate Studies, Texas A&M University, Copyright 1995-1996, January 20, 1997, http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/paleo/ocean/ocean.html
definition: Pertaining to geophysical (seismic, magnetic, gravity, etc.) data collected on the plains and hills of the deep oceanic floor. ABYSSAL HILLS: Small hills found only in the deep sea which rise from the oceanbasin floor with heights ranging from 10 to over 500 feet and widths from a fewhundred feet to a few miles. They are found along the seaward margin of most abyssal plains and originate from the spreading of mid-ocean ridges. As such, they usually form two strips parallel to mid-ocean ridges. They generally decrease in height as one traverses away from the ridges as they gradually become covered with sediment and are replaced by abyssal plains. ABYSSAL PLAINS: Flat areas of the ocean basin floor which slope less than 1 part in 1000. These were formed by turbidity currents which covered the preexisting topography. Most abyssal plains are located between the base of thecontinental rise and the abyssal hills. The remainder are trench abyssal plainsthat lie in the bottom of deep-sea trenches. This latter type traps all sediment from turbidity currents and prevents abyssal plains from forming further seaward, e.g. much of the Pacific Ocean floor.

  text: GISP2 Ice core (Greenland) and Climate Change: http://www.gisp2.sr.unh.edu/GISP2/MoreInfo/Ice_Cores_Past.html
definition: The isotopic record found in ice cores reveal direct information about the pastclimate. d18O (delta oxygen-18), 16O and 18O are isotopes of oxygen with slightdifferences in atomic weight. Depending on the temperature of evaporation andhow far the water has had to travel before it fell as snow, the ratio of 18O to16O will vary. This ratio, known as d18O, can be measured very accurately usinga mass spectrometer. Over short time scales the change in temperature fromsummer to winter produces a very clear oscillation in the 18O/16O ratio. Thisoscillation is used to determine the age of the core at different depths,simply by counting the oscillations. Over longer time periods, this ratioindicates the average temperature of the regions between the evaporation siteand the coring site. Investigators in Greenland and Antarctica are alsoanalyzing for the ratio of 1H/2H (Hydrogen to deuterium) which will allow evenfiner detail about source temperature and condensation history to be obtained.

definition: The isotopic record found in various non-marine records reveal directinformation about the past climate. d18O (delta oxygen-18), 16O and 18O areisotopes of oxygen with slight differences in atomic weight. Studies usingother isotopes such as Carbon-13, Carbon-14 and Hydrogen are widely used.Isoptopic analysis is especially important in dendroclimatologic and speleothemanalyses.

  text: https://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Air
definition: Air mass/density is a fundamental property of atmosphere. Mixture of gases forming Earth's atmosphere, consisting of nitrogen (∼78%), oxygen (∼21%), water vapor, and other trace gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, argon, ozone, or various pollutants.The concentration of water vapor is very variable, being a strong function of temperature and, hence, altitude in the atmosphere. Dry air is referred to as air from which measurable amounts of water vapor have been physically removed. Pure, dry air has a density of 1.293 kg m−3 at a temperature of 273 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. Apart from the variability of water vapor, the composition of air is essentially constant to an altitude of at least 50 km.

  text: Reference: An Extended Glossary of Solar-Terrestrial Terms from the IPS Radio and Space Services: 'http://www.ips.oz.au/background/richard/glossary.html'
definition: Any change in the sun's appearance or behavior. The sun's activity is described as being very low, low, moderate, high or very high. Solar activity changes over a period of, on average, 11 years. At solar maximum, the solar activity is high and so too the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation output which affects the ionosphere. At solar minimum, the opposite is true.

SIGMA NAUGHT
type: Concept
reference:
  text: ESA MetOp Glossary, http://www.esa.int/esaME/ESAYRHT7YYC_index_0.html
definition: The conventional measure of the strength of radar signals reflected by a distributed scatterer, usually expressed in dB. It is a normalized dimensionless number, comparing the strength observed to that expected from an area of one square meter. Sigma naught is defined with respect to the nominally horizontal plane, and in general has a significant variation with incidence angle, wavelength, and polarization, as well as with properties of the scattering surface itself (see speckle, and statistics).

definition: Glaciers are masses of land ice, formed by the further recrystallization of firn, flowing continuously from higher to lower elevations. Ice sheets are a continuous sheet of land ice that covers a very large area and moves outward inmany directions. This type of ice mass is so thick as to mask the land surface contours, in contrast to the smaller and thinner highland ice. The continental glacier of Greenland is sometimes called the Inland Ice. This term is often used to describe the great ice masses that characterized the ice ages.

  text: American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/ Boorse, H. A., and L. Motz, 1966: The World of the Atom, Vol. 1, 385401.
definition: X-Ray (Or x-radiation, Rntgen ray) is electromagnetic radiation withwavelengths shorter than that of ultraviolet radiation and greater than that ofgamma radiation. Discovered accidentally by Rntgen in 1895. The primary mechanism for theproduction of x- rays is deceleration of a rapidly moving charge uponinteraction with matter (bremsstrahlung). The x-ray spectrum from an x-ray tubeconsists of this continuous spectrum on which are superimposed narrow bands(characteristic radiation) that are a consequence of transitions betweenelectronic energy levels of atoms. No sharp boundary exists between x- andultraviolet radiation nor between x- and gamma radiation, although the latterterm is usually restricted to radiation resulting from transitions betweennuclear energy levels.

  text: From the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Glossary of Meteorology Online 'http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/'
definition: The science that treats the periodic biological phenomena with relation to climate, especially seasonal changes. Phenological events are stages of plant growth. From a climatological viewpoint, these phenomena serve as bases for the interpretation of progress inlocal seasons and the climatic zones, and are considered to integrate the effects of a number of bioclimatic factors on rate of plant development. Phenology may be considered a branch of the science of bioclimatics, the sequence of plant or crop development stages through its life cycle. Growth stages may be defined by stage of physiological development such as germination, first true leaf, flowering, maturity, etc., and/or by physical stage such as planting, emergence, harvest, etc.

definition: Drought severity is a relative term that broadly refers to how intense a drought is considered to be. Drought severity can be measured through any number of physical indicators, such as rainfall or stream flow, but it can also be assessed through impacts to other interdependent systems given that drought affects water supply,agriculture, wildfire, and more. Drought frequency, duration, and severity are often used together as a means to describe and evaluate drought conditions in a given area (i.e., how often an area is affected by drought, how long is it affected, and how severely it is affected).

reference:
  text: http://www.ipcc-wg2.org/meetings/EMs/EM_GeoE_Meeting_Report_final.pdf
definition: Geoengineering refers to a broad set of methods and technologies that aim to deliberately alter the climate system in order to alleviate the impacts of climate change. Most, but not all, methods seek to either (a) reduce the amount of absorbed solar energy in the climate system (Solar Radiation Management) or (b) increase net carbon sinks from the atmosphere at a scale sufficiently large to alter climate (Carbon Dioxide Removal). Scale and intent are of central importance. Two key characteristics of geoengineering methods of particular concern are that they use or affect the climate system (e.g., atmosphere, land, or ocean) globally or regionally and/or could have substantive unintended effects that cross national boundaries. Geoengineering is different from weather modification and ecological engineering, but the boundary can be fuzzy.

However, compared to mesoscale eddies, they remain poorly studied due to technical difficulties in observing these small-scale and ephemeral ocean features. Satellite altimeters typically cannot characterize eddies smaller than 100–200 km in diameter. In subtropical and tropical oceans sea surface temperature imagery lose their spatial contrast during summer, and satellite ocean color imagery also suffer to lack of sufficient observations due to clouds, strong sun glint, and stray light (Chen et al., 2019; Hu, 2011).

VIEWING GEOMETRY
type: Concept
definition: The properties of the sensor which affect the image geometry, including the sensor scan angle, instantaneous field of view (IFOV), and internal distortions. The sensor scan angle is the angle between the sensor view vector and the downward pointing (to nadir) axis. Data with very large scan angles generally are greatly distorted, and navigation of extremely off-nadir pixels may have large errors. The area detectable on the ground is determined by the IFOV of the sensor, or the angle contained by the minimum area distinguished by the sensor.

HYDROGEN CHLORIDE
type: Concept
reference:
  text: American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online: 'http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary'
definition: A toxic, colorless, strongly acidic gas (HCl) that dissolves readily in water to form hydrochloric acid. In the troposphere, hydrochloric acid can be produced from the reaction of nitric acid or sulfuric acid with sea-salt particles (NaCl). It is also involved in the formation of ammonium chloride aerosol. HCl is also the most abundant form of chlorine in an inorganic compound found in the stratosphere. Produced there predominantly from the reaction of Cl atoms with methane and molecular hydrogen, it acts as a temporary, relatively unreactive reservoir species for chlorine.

CAVE DEPOSITS
type: Concept
reference:
  text: From: Earth Observatory, Paleoclimatology: Written in the Earth by Holli Riebeek. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Paleoclimatology_Speleothems/
definition: Cave deposits, or speleothems, are mineral formations in caves. While the waterflows, the speleothems grow in thin, shiny layers. The amount of growth is anindicator of how much ground water dripped into the cave. Little growth mightindicate a drought, just as rapid growth could point to heavy precipitation.When the speleothems stop growing, the outside becomes dirty and eroded inplaces, giving it a dull appearance. Spelothems can be dated by measuring howmuch uranium has decayed. Evidence of past climate changes can be inferred frommeasuring oxygen isotopes in speleothems.

definition: Albedo is the ratio of the radiation (radiant energy or luminousenergy) reflected by a surface to that incident on it. Snow and cloudsurfaces have a high albedo, because most of the energy of the visiblesolar spectrum is reflected. Vegetation and ocean surfaces have lowalbedo, because they absorb a large fraction of the energy. Clouds are thechief cause of variations in the Earth's albedo.

  text: National Snow and Ice Data Center CIRES/University of Colorado
definition: ALUMINUM-26, is a radioactive isotope of the chemical element aluminium, decaying by either of the modes beta-plus or electron capture, both resulting in the stable nuclide magnesium-26. The half-life of 26Al is 7.17×105years. This is far too short for the isotope to survive to the present, but a small amount of the nuclide is produced by collisions of argon atoms with cosmic ray protons. The analysis of AL26 is part of the process to determine exposure ages.

definition: he distance in inches that plant roots extend into the soil. Knowing theaverage root depth for the plants in each watering zone is important todetermine an efficient watering schedule. Shallow roots require more frequentwatering than deep roots, which can draw water from a larger soil profile. Average root depths vary with plant type. Trees will have root depths of 24inches or more. Xeriscape plants will have root depths around 10 inches. Shrubsand perennials will have roots of 8 inches or more. Grass can have deep roots(greater than 6 inches, depending on region). Annuals and bedding plants havethe shallowest roots at 4-5 inches.

This pattern captures anomalous wave-train of 500-hPa heights extending from the central subtropical North Pacific to the eastern United States. The positive phase of the PT pattern features above-average heights west of Hawaii and across western North America, and below-average heights in the Gulf of Alaska and over the southeastern United States.The PT pattern is associated with above-average surface temperatures in the western subtropical North Pacific, the subtropical North Atlantic, and throughout western North America, and with below-average temperatures over the eastern half of the United States. The main precipitation departures associated with the PT pattern include above-average precipitation in the southeastern U.S., and below-average precipitation near Hawaii and across the northern tier of the United States.

SLR and Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) use short-pulse lasers and state-of-the-art optical receivers and timing electronics to measure the two-way time of flight (and hence distance) from ground stations to retroreflector arrays on Earth orbiting satellites and the moon. The laser stations are also used to measure one-way distance from the ground stations to remote optical receivers on space and for very accurate time-transfer. Laser ranging activities are organized under the ILRS. SLR is an accurate technique for determining the geocentric position of an Earth satellite, allowing for the precise calibration of radar altimeters and separation of long-term instrumentation drift from secular changes in ocean topography. SLR’s ability to measure the temporal variations in the Earth’s gravity field and to monitor motion of a global network of stations with respect to the geocenter, together with the capability to monitor vertical motion in an absolute system, makes it unique for modeling and evaluating long-term climate change. language code: en

New Value=Radiative forcing (measured in Watts per square meter) can be estimated in different ways for different components. For the case of a change in solar irradiance (i.e., "solar forcing"), the radiative forcing is simply the change in the average amount of solar energy absorbed per square meter of the Earth's area. Since the cross-sectional area of the Earth exposed to the sun (πr2) is equal to 1/4 of the surface area of the Earth (4πr2), the solar input per unit area is one quarter the change in solar intensity. This must be multiplied by the fraction of incident sunlight that is absorbed, F=(1-R), where R is the reflectivity, or albedo, of the Earth, equal to approximately 0.7. Thus, the solar forcing is the change in the solar intensity divided by 4 and multiplied by 0.7.

  text: WikiPedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol
definition: Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). Methanol acquired the name 'wood alcohol' because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.

reference:
  text: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2009. http://www.epa.gov/particles/
definition: 'Particulate matter,' also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets. Particle pollution is made up of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles.The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. EPA is concerned about particles that are 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller because those are the particles that generally pass through the throat and nose and enter the lungs. Once inhaled, these particles can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects. EPA groups particle pollution into two categories: - 'Inhalable coarse particles,' such as those found near roadways and dusty industries, are larger than 2.5 micrometers and smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter. - 'Fine particles,' such as those found in smoke and haze, are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller. These particles can be directly emitted from sources such as forest fires, or they can form when gases emitted from power plants, industries and automobiles react in the air.

New Value=The natural phenomenon by which physical bodies appear to attract each other with a force proportional to their masses. It is most commonly experienced as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. The phenomenon of gravitation itself, however, is a byproduct of a more fundamental phenomenon described by general relativity, which suggests that spacetime is curved according to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present.

definition: Biological and environmental contrasts between aquatic and terrestrial systems have hindered analyses of community and ecosystem structure across Earth's diverse habitats. Ecological stoichiometry1,2 provides an integrative approach for such analyses, as all organisms are composed of the same major elements (C, N, P) whose balance affects production, nutrient cycling, and food-web dynamics3,4. Here we show both similarities and differences in the C:N:P ratios of primary producers (autotrophs) and invertebrate primary consumers (herbivores) across habitats. Terrestrial food webs are built on an extremely nutrient-poor autotroph base with C:P and C:N ratios higher than in lake particulate matter, although the N:P ratios are nearly identical. Terrestrial herbivores (insects) and their freshwater counterparts (zooplankton) are nutrient-rich and indistinguishable in C:N:P stoichiometry. In both lakes and terrestrial systems, herbivores should have low growth efficiencies (10–30%) when consuming autotrophs with typical carbon-to-nutrient ratios. These stoichiometric constraints on herbivore growth appear to be qualitatively similar and widespread in both environments.

definition: Blocking in the southern hemisphere typically occurs at lower latitudes when compared with the northern hemisphere. The index follows Tibaldi et al. (1994). The European blocking index is based on observations of pentad (5-day average) wind over the region 15W to 25E and 35n to 55N. If the pentad zonal wind equals the climatological value for that time period, the index is zero. If the pentad zonal wind is less than average the index is postive, while the opposite is true if the index is negative. Values close to +/- 1 indicate relatively strong events.

definition: Corals are generally members of the order Scleractinia, which have hardcalcerous skeletons supporting softer tissues. For paleoclimatic studies, theimportant coral subgroup is the reef-building, massive corals known ashermatypic corals. Coral growth rates vary and are sensitive to sea surfacetemperatures (SSTs). Dating coral growth has shown high correspondance betweenlarge excursions of oxygen-18 (del18O) and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)events. Coral growth studies have led to new information about paleo-SSTs,rainfall, river runoff, ocean circulation, and tropical wind systems.

definition: In 1971 Roland Madden and Paul Julian stumbled upon a 40-50 day oscillation when analyzing zonal wind anomalies in the tropical Pacific. They used ten years of pressure records at Canton (at 2.8B0 S in the Pacific) and upper level winds at Singapore. The oscillation of surface and upper-level winds was remarkably clear in Singapore. Until the early 1980's little attention was paid to this oscillation, which became known as the Madden and Julian Oscillation(MJO), and some scientists questioned its global significance. Since the 1982-83 El Nino event, low-frequency variations in the tropics, both on intra-annual (less than a year) and inter-annual (more than a year) timescales, have received much more attention, and the number of MJO-related publications grew rapidly.

SULFATE
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Wikipedia, 2009, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate
definition: The sulfate ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula SO42− and a molecular mass of 96.06 daltons; it consists of a central sulfur atom surrounded by four equivalent oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. The sulfate ion carries a negative two charge and is the conjugate base of the bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) ion, HSO4−, which is the conjugate base of H2SO4, sulfuric acid. Organic sulfates, such as dimethyl sulfate, are covalent compounds and esters of sulfuric acid.Sulfates occur as microscopic particles (aerosols) resulting from fossil fuel and biomass combustion. They increase the acidity of the atmosphere and form acid rain.

definition: 'Glacial landforms' are landforms derived from the erosion and depositioncaused by glaciers and ice sheets, associated meltwater, and the Earth'srheological response. Such landforms include drumlins, moraines, cirques,fjords, etc. 'Glacial processes' include deposition of sediments and erosionof the Earth's surface by grinding, scouring, and polishing effected by themovement of glacier ice armed with rock fragments frozen into it, together withthe erosive action of meltwater streams.

definition: Fisheries scientist Steven Hare coined the term 'Pacific Decadal Oscillation' (PDO) in 1996 while researching connections between Alaska salmon production cycles and Pacific climate. PDO has since been described as a long-lived El Nino-like pattern of Pacific climate variability because the two climate oscillations have similar spatial climate fingerprints, but very different temporal behavior. Two main characteristics distinguish PDO from El Nino/ Southern Oscillation (ENSO): first, 20th century PDO 'events' persisted for 20-to-30 years, while typical ENSO events persisted for 6 to 18 months; second, the climatic fingerprints of the PDO are most visible in the North Pacific/North American sector, while secondary signatures exist in the tropics - the opposite is true for ENSO. Several independent studies find evidence for just two full PDO cycles in the past century: 'cool' PDO regimes prevailed from 1890-1924 and again from 1947-1976 while'warm' PDO regimes dominated from 1925-1946 and from 1977 through (at least) the mid-1990's. Shoshiro Minobe; has shown that 20th century PDO fluctuations were most energetic in two general periodicities, one from 15-to-25 years, and the other from 50-to-70 years.

In the troposphere ammonia reacts rapidly with acids such as sulfuric (H2SO4), nitric (HNO3) to form fine particulate matter (PM2.5) [Malm et al., 2004]. These ammonium (NH4+) containing aerosols affect Earth's radiative balance, both directly by scattering incoming radiation [Adams et al., 2001; Martin et al., 2004; Henze et al., 2012] and indirectly as cloud condensation nuclei [Abbatt et al., 2006]. PM2.5 endangers public health by penetrating the human respiratory systems, depositing in the lungs and alveolar regions [Pope et al., 2002], and causing premature mortality [Lelieveld et al., 2015]. A precursor of these inorganic aerosols, gaseous NH3 is often the limiting species in their formation [Wang et al., 2013; Lelieveld et al., 2015]. Excess reactive nitrogen reduces biodiversity and causes harmful algal blooms and anoxic conditions. Dry deposition of gaseous ammonia may have substantially greater adverse impacts on ecosystem health than deposition of ammonium in aerosols or precipitation [Sheppard et al., 2011]. In contrast, PM2.5 has greater impact on human morbidity and mortality. In this article we quantify recent (~14 year) increases in tropospheric ammonia and suggest likely causes for these trends. language code: en

SOLAR OSCILLATIONS
type: Concept
reference:
  text: various sources. See Jordon, S., ed. 1981. The Sun as a Star, NASA SP-450, NASA, Washington, D.C.
definition: The surface of the sun oscillates in certain modes defined by the number¿of latitudinal and longitudinal modal planes. The sun vibrates in¿multiple modes simultaneously, each mode typically having a different¿amplitude. Observing the amplitudes of the various solar oscillation¿modes is a way to look inside the sun. A commonly observed phenomena is the¿'5-minute' oscillation, but other periods have been observed from 10 to 160¿minutes on the long period scale to about 10 seconds on the short period¿scale. Also observed are so-called 'g-mode' oscillations (internal gravity¿waves) generated by turbulent convection below the photosphere.¿These oscillations are the result of internal motions ofthe sun and their study is known as helioseismology.

definition: An area seen as a dark spot on the PHOTOSPHERE of the sun. Sunspots are concentrations of magnetic flux, typically occurring in bipolar clusters or groups. They appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere. Sunspots are classified as to their group characteristics (called the Zurich Sunspot Classification; older sunspot counting schemes may have used the Wolf Sunspot Number classification). Satellite observations of the sun (notably by the ACRIM and ERBE sensors) have demonstrated a correlation between sunspot luminosity changes and sunspot numbers - a possible influencing factor in Earth's climate dynamics.

definition: The age of the sea ice is usually a distinction between first-yearand multiyear ice. Multiyear sea ice is usually thicker, has more ridges,and can be more of a hinderance to ship travel than first-year ice.Microwave remote sensing studies have shown that first-year sea ice has ahigher emissivity at the 1.55 cm wavelength than multiyear ice, thusmaking it possible to distinguish between different ice ages fromsatellites. Ice age can also be qualitatively determined using visible,infrared and radar wavelengths from satellites.

definition: Drought should be considered relative to some long-term average condition ofbalance between precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET) in a particular area,a condition often perceived as 'normal.' Common to all types of drought is the fact that they originate from a deficiency of precipitation that results inwater shortage for some activity or for some group. It is also commonlyrecognized that other meteorological elements, such as temperature, wind, and relative humidity, may aggravate the severity and impacts of drought in someinstances. A Drought Advisory may report on drought occurring in a particular region.

HALONS
type: Concept
reference:
  text: EPA's Ozone Layer Protection Glossary (http://www.epa.gov/ozone/defns.html#halon)
definition: Halon: a compound consisting of bromine, fluorine, and carbonHalons are used as fire extinguishing agents, both in built-in systems and in handheld portable fire extinguishers. Halon production in the U.S. ended on December 31, 1993, because they contribute to ozone depletion. They cause ozone depletion because they contain bromine. Bromine is many times more effective at destroying ozone than chlorine. At the time the current U.S. tax code was adopted, the ozone depletion potentials of halon 1301 and halon 1211 were observed to be 10 and 3, respectively. These values are used for tax calculations. Recent scientific studies, however, indicate that the ODPs are at least 12 and 6, respectively. Note: technically, all compounds containing carbon and fluorine and/or chlorine are halons, but in the context of the Clean Air Act, 'halon' means a fire extinguishing agent as described above. A table of class I substances (http://www.epa.gov/ozone/science/ods/classone.html) shows their ODPs, GWPs, and CAS numbers. Halons are numbered according to a standard scheme.

MICROFOSSIL

Microfossils are a heterogeneous bunch of fossil remains studied as a single discipline because rock samples must be processed in certain ways to remove them and microscopes must be used to study them. Thus, microfossils, unlike other kinds of fossils, are not grouped according to their relationships to one another, but only because of their generally small size and methods of study. For example, fossils of bacteria, foraminifera, diatoms, very small invertebrate shells or skeletons, pollen, and tiny bones and teeth of large vertebrates, among others, can be called microfossils. But it is an unnatural grouping. Nevertheless, this utilitarian subdivision of paleontology, first recognized in 1883, is very significant in geology, paleontology, and biology. Microfossils have many applications to petroleum geology (Fleisher and Lane, in press, Ventress, 1991, LeRoy, 1977). The two most common uses are: biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analyses. Biostratigraphy is the differentiation of rock units based upon the fossils which they contain. Paleoenvironmental analysis is the interpretation of the depositional environment in which the rock unit formed, based upon the fossils found within the unit. There are many other uses of fossils besides these, including: paleoclimatology, biogeography, and thermal maturation. language code: en

Microfossils have many applications to petroleum geology (Fleisher and Lane, in press, Ventress, 1991, LeRoy, 1977). The two most common uses are: biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analyses. Biostratigraphy is the differentiation of rock units based upon the fossils which they contain. Paleoenvironmental analysis is the interpretation of the depositional environment in which the rock unit formed, based upon the fossils found within the unit. There are many other uses of fossils besides these, including: paleoclimatology, biogeography, and thermal maturation.

CARBON DIOXIDE
type: Concept
reference:
  text: From: NASA Earth Observatory Glossary: http://eobglossary.gsfc.nasa.gov/
definition: A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide trapsinfrared radiation. Atmospheric CO2 has increased about 25 percent since theearly 1800s, with an estimated increase of 10 percent since 1958 (burningfossil fuels is the leading cause of increased CO2, deforestation the secondmajor cause). The increased amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere enhance thegreenhouse effect, blocking heat from escaping into space and contributing tothe warming of Earth's lower atmosphere. (Earth Observatory) The most direct method for measuring atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrationsfor periods before direct sampling is to measure bubbles of air (fluid or gasinclusions) trapped in the Antarctic or Greenland ice caps. The most widelyaccepted of such studies come from a variety of Antarctic cores and indicatethat atmospheric CO2 levels were about 260¿280uL/L immediately beforeindustrial emissions began and did not vary much from this level during thepreceding 10,000 years. The longest ice core record comes from Vostok, Antarctica, where ice has beensampled to a depth of 3,600 meters, corresponding to an age of 420,000 yearsbefore the present. During this time, the atmospheric carbon dioxideconcentration has varied between 180¿210 uL/L during ice ages, increasing to280¿300 uL/L during warmerinterglacials.(http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Carbon-dioxide)

definition: Refers to dynamic processess of the Earth's ionosphere and solar magnetosphere triggered by solar events. The magnetosphere is the magnetic cavity surroundingthe earth, carved out of the passing solar wind by virtue of the geomagnetic field, which prevents, or at least impedes, the direct entry of the solar wind plasma into the cavity. The ionosphere is the region of the earth's upper atmosphere containing a small percentage of free electrons and ions produced byphotoionization of the constituents of the atmosphere by solar ultraviolet radiation at very short wavelengths (l.t.1000 angstroms). The ionosphere significantly influences radiowave propagation of frequencies less than about 30 MHz.

MOLECULAR NITROGEN
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Atmospheric and Air Chemistry Glossary from the Sam Houston State University. 'http://www.shsu.edu/~chemistry/Glossary/glos.html'
definition: Nitrogen (N2) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which makes up 78.1% of the atmosphere. Atmospheric nitrogen is converted by nitrogen fixation and nitrification into compounds used by plants and animals. In the far upper atmosphere, N2 is broken down when large numbers of energetic secondary electrons are produced and available to react with the N2. This leads to the eventual production of NO.

BROMINE MONOXIDE
type: Concept
reference:
  text: American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology Online: 'http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary'
definition: Bromine Monoxide (BrO) is one of many bromine (Br)-containing compounds that occur in the atmosphere from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The major source compounds are CH3Br (both natural and anthropogenic in origin), the halons (manufactured for use as fire suppressants), and dibromomethane CH2Br2 (emitted from the oceans). Destruction of these compounds results in the formation of a suite of inorganic Br-containing species, including bromine atoms (Br), bromine monoxide (BrO), bromine nitrate (BrNO3), hypobromous acid (HOBr), and hydrogen bromide (HBr). The chemistry that acts to interconvert these inorganic species results in depletion of ozone in the stratosphere.

SOLAR WIND
type: Concept
reference:
  text: http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/gloss.html
definition: The solar wind is hot solar plasma spreading from the solar corona in alldirections, at a typical speed of 300-1,000 km/sec. The solar wind isessentially the hot solar corona on expanding in all directions into theinterplanetary space. The solar wind is diverted around the Earth by theEarth's magnetic field, although some solar particles enter the Earth's fieldat the poles. The solar wind carries coronal magnetic fields by a process knownas frozen in the flux. If these frozen in fields have the same North-Southorientation as the Earth's magnetic field, energy can be transferred into theEarth's magnetosphere, leading to geomagnetic storms.

GEOMAGNETIC FORECASTS
type: Concept
reference:
  text: From Space Weather Canada: http://www.spaceweather.gc.ca/forecastlong_e.shtml
definition: The levels of geomagnetic field activity, or disturbance, currently used in thelong-term (up to 27 days) forecasts are labelled qualitatively for general usage. For each of the three major zones (subauroral, auroral, polar cap), the range of activity is divided into four classifications: quiet, unsettled, active, storm. The actual parameter used for reporting and forecasting magneticactivity is a daily index. It is known as DRX and is the average of the hourly ranges (maximum minus minimum during each hour) in the X (northward) component of the magnetic field intensity for a day (the UT [or GMT] day), i.e., DRX forthe zone is the mean of 24 values. Because this averaging process has the effect ofsmoothing (filtering) the more rapid fluctuations in the field, the qualitativedescriptors are defined rather differently than for the short-term forecasts. Units are nanoteslas (nT).

However, when fire threatens human life or property, it is considered a natural hazard. Besides the obvious hazard of hot flames causing materials to burn, fire can also send vast amounts of ash into the atmosphere, inhibiting plant growth, reducing visibility, and interfering with breathing. New Value=An uncontrolled fire in combustible vegetation that occurs in the countryside or a wilderness area. Other names such as brush fire, bushfire, forest fire, desert fire, grass fire, hill fire, peat fire, vegetation fire, and veldfire may be used to describe the same phenomenon depending on the type of vegetation being burned. A wildfire differs from other fires by its extensive size, the speed at which it can spread out from its original source, its potential to change direction unexpectedly, and its ability to jump gaps such as roads, rivers and fire breaks. Wildfires are characterized in terms of the cause of ignition, their physical properties such as speed of propagation, the combustible material present, and the effect of weather on the fire.

The feedback of the undisturbed process is comparably weak, however, because the local release leads to a warming spread over the whole globe. The Arctic region is one of the many natural sources of the greenhouse gas methane.[1] Global warming may accelerate its release, due to both release of methane from existing stores, and from methanogenesis in rotting biomass.[2] Large quantities of methane are stored in the Arctic in natural gas deposits, permafrost, and as submarine clathrates. Permafrost and clathrates degrade on warming, thus large releases of methane from these sources may arise as a result of global warming.[3][4] Other sources of methane include submarine taliks, river transport, ice complex retreat, submarine permafrost and decaying gas hydrate deposits.[5] language code: en

Periglacial suggests an environment located on the margin of past glaciers. However, freeze and thaw cycles influence landscapes outside areas of past glaciation. Therefore, periglacial environments are anywhere freezing and thawing modify the landscape in a significant manner

definition: The East Atlantic Jet pattern is the third primary mode of low frequency variability found over the North Atlantic, appearing between April and August. This pattern also consists of a north-south dipole of anomaly centers, with one main center located over the high latitudes of the eastern North Atlantic ... and Scandinavia, and the other center located over Northern Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. A positive phase of the EA-Jet pattern reflects an intensification of westerlies over the central latitudes of the eastern North Atlantic and over much of Europe, while a negative phase reflects a strong split-flow configuration over these regions, sometimes in association with long-lived blocking anticyclones in the vicinity of Greenland and Great Britain.

reference:
  text: Bradley, R.S. 1999. Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary, 2nd edition. Harcourt Academic Press (especially Chapter 7.6).
definition: Lake level fluctuations can provide important evidence for paleoclimaticconditions, particulary in arid and semiarid areas. Lake levels areparticularly sensitive to changes in hydrologic balance due to climaticfluctuations. Lakes may develop and expand if there is an abundance ofprecipitation and will recede and even dry up (due to evaporation) duringprolonged droughts. Lake sediment cores are often drilled to providestratigraphic clues to past climate conditions.

Development of a vulnerability index for the environment which could be calculated on the scale of entire states for the purpose of ranking them and providing a single-figure expression of their relative environmental vulnerabilities. This work was done in response to a call made in the Barbados Plan of Action, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and an increasing awareness that small island developing states face disadvantages to their development associated with their remoteness, small size, dispersion, economic conditions, and limited natural resources. In the past vulnerability indices have been developed which describe the risks associated with economic and social conditions, climate change, sea-level rise, natural disasters and anthropogenic impacts. Most of these indices describe the vulnerability of human systems; there have been very limited attempts to describe effects on the environment. Human systems and the environment are dependent on one another so that risks to the environment of a state will eventually translate into risks to humans. This is the first attempt to construct an index that focuses on the vulnerability of the environment. An Environmental Vulnerability Index (the EVI) was constructed, based on a theoretical framework that identified three aspects of vulnerability: risks to the environment (natural and anthropogenic), the innate ability of the environment to cope with the risks (resilience) and ecosystem integrity (the health or condition of the environment as a result of past impacts). These three aspects correspond to three sub-indices, the REI, IRI and EDI, which are the Risk Exposure sub-Index, Intrinsic Resilience sub-Index and Environmental Degradation sub- Index respectively.

definition: Deuterium oxide (D2O), aka “heavy water”, is the form of water that contains two atoms of the 2H, or D, isotope. The term heavy water is also used for water in which 2H atoms replace only some of the 1H atoms. In this case, rapid exchange between the two isotopes forms twice as many “semiheavy” HDO molecules as D2O.

Fog formed when water vapor is added to air that is much colder than the vapor's source; most commonly, when very cold air drifts across relatively warm water. No matter what the nature of the vapor source (warm water, industrial combustion exhaust, exhaled breath), its equilibrium vapor pressure is greater than that corresponding to the colder air; thus, the water vapor, upon becoming mixed with and cooled by the cold air, rapidly condenses. It should be noted that this mechanism never allows the fog to actually reach the vapor source. Also, upon further mixing in sufficiently turbulent or convective flow (only a slight degree is needed), the fog particles evaporate at a more or less well defined upper limit of the fog. Note, also, that although advection of air is necessary to produce steam fog, it differs greatly from an advection fog in the usual sense, which is caused by warm, moist air moving over a cold surface. Steam fog is commonly observed over lakes and streams on cold autumn mornings as well as in polar regions. It is sometimes confused with ice fog, but its particles are entirely liquid. At temperatures below -29°C (-20°F), these may freeze into droxtals and create a type of ice fog that may be known as frost smoke. language code: en

definition: A change imposed upon the climate system which modifies the radiativebalance of that system. The causes of such a change may include changes inthe sun, clouds, ice, greenhouse gases, volcanic activity, and otheragents. Radiative forcing is often specified as the net change in energyflux at the troposphere (watts per square meter). Radiative forcing maysometimes be referred to as external forcing or perturbations of theclimate.

MOLECULAR OXYGEN
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Atmospheric and Air Chemistry Glossary from the Sam Houston State University. 'http://www.shsu.edu/~chemistry/Glossary/glos.html'
definition: Oxygen (O2) is found on Earth as a gas and constitutes about 20.8% of the air we breathe. Elemental molecular oxygen consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. A photochemical reaction of oxygen is (ultimately) responsible for the production of ozone in the stratosphere. Oxygen concentrations found in ice core samples have been used to determine past atmospheric levels of oxygen and helped in determining past climates.

GLOBALLY INTEGRATED ANGULAR MOMENTUM
type: Concept
reference:
  text: [Source: NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Physical Sciences Division, http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/ ]
definition: The atmospheric angular momentum is the product of mass times the rotational velocity times the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. A rotating object will conserve its angular momentum unless a torque acts to change its rotation. The axial component is of interest in climate and is determined by the distribution of atmospheric mass and zonal wind relative to the earth's rotation axis. Higher than normal surface pressure in the tropics or strong westerly flow there contributes to greater AAM.

  text: Canada CCRS Remote Sensing Glossary
definition: A very short electromagnetic wave. The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between the far infrared and the conventional radio frequency portion. While not bounded by definition, it is commonly regarded as extending from 1 mm to 1 m in wavelength (300 GHz to 0.3 GHz frequency). Passive systems operating at these wavelengths sometimes are called microwave systems. Active systems are called radar, although the literal definition of radar requires a distance measuring capability not always included in active systems.

Preprints, Eighth Conference on Applied Climatology, Anaheim, CA, American Meterological Society, 179-184. See also the Desert Research Institute (DRI) 'http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/spi/spi.html'
definition: The SPI was formulated by Tom Mckee, Nolan Doesken and John Kleist of the Colorado Climate Center in 1993. The purpose is to assign a single numeric value to the precipitation which can be compared across regions with markedly different climates. Technically, the SPI is the number of standard deviations that the observed value would deviate from the long-term mean, for a normally distributed random variable. Since precipitation is not normally distributed, a transformation is first applied so that the transformed precipitation values follow a normal distribution. The Standardized Precipitation Index was designed to explicitly express the fact that it is possible to simultaneously experience wet conditions on one or more time scales, and dry conditions at other time scales, often a difficult concept to convey in simple terms to decision-makers. Consequently, a separate SPI value is calculated for a selection of time scales, covering the last 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72 months, and ending on the last day of the latest month.

Human systems and the environment are dependent on one another so that risks to the environment of a state will eventually translate into risks to humans. This is the first attempt to construct an index that focuses on the vulnerability of the environment. An Environmental Vulnerability Index (the EVI) was constructed, based on a theoretical framework that identified three aspects of vulnerability: risks to the environment (natural and anthropogenic), the innate ability of the environment to cope with the risks (resilience) and ecosystem integrity (the health or condition of the environment as a result of past impacts). These three aspects correspond to three sub-indices, the REI, IRI and EDI, which are the Risk Exposure sub-Index, Intrinsic Resilience sub-Index and Environmental Degradation sub- Index respectively.

HYDROXYL
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Atmospheric and Air Chemistry Glossary from the Sam Houston State University. 'http://www.shsu.edu/~chemistry/Glossary/glos.html'
definition: Hydroxyl (OH) - an atom consisting of one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom which does not normally exist in a stable form; this radical readily reacts with methane and carbon monoxide. The source of the hydroxyl radical in the atmosphere occurs primarily through the 1) photolysis of hydrogen peroxide, heat, and light and 2) the attack on water of an excited oxygen radical (created by the photolysis of ozone). [JAPCA; v39; 704; 1989] [Journal of Chemical Society; v85; 577; 1989.]

definition: Many animals show unique morphological and behavioural adaptations to desert extremes, while others are able to avoid these by behavioural means. This chapter focuses on patterns of convergent evolution of traits to assess which features represent unique desert adaptations. There are several taxa for which suitable, phylogenetically-controlled analyses have been conducted. This means that the effects of phylogeny, which may be considerable, have been removed. Removing the effects of phylogeny allow one to test whether an adaptation has occurred. For example, a character may be considered a desert adaptation because many desert-dwelling species possess the character, and non-desert-dwelling species do not. However, if there are many desert-dwelling species in a particular part of a clade, then this character may have evolved by chance alone. Select examples from tenebrionid beetles, lizards, birds, and mammals are considered.

definition: The carbon dioxide dissolved in water has even more effect than the oxygen. Oxygen remains as an O2 molecule, whether it's in its gas phase or in solution, but when CO2 is dissolved in water, a small proportion of it reacts chemically with H2O to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. (There's no mystery about that: just add up the six atoms.) In water carbonic acid dissociates rapidly to form a H+ ion and HCO2 (bicarbonate), so it affects the carbonate equilibrium, and pH values change as a result. Dissolved CO2 lowers the average pH of rainwater to 5.7, even where 'acid rain' caused by pollution isn't a factor. The gentle acidity of rainwater is a major source for the weathering of minerals, which the carbonic acid leaches from rocks and which eventually find their way to the ocean.

definition: LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. A Full Waveform LiDAR System records the entire emitted and backscattered signal of each laser pulse. Full waveform LiDAR data are more complex to process however they can often capture more information compared to discrete return LiDAR systems.

  text: NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES-DISC), Parameter Information Pages (PIP), Greenbelt, MD, 2009. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data-holdings/PIP/aerosol_angstrom_exponent.shtml
definition: Aerosol Angstrom Coefficient is an exponent that expresses the spectral dependence of aerosol optical thickness (τ) with the wavelength of incident light (λ). The spectral dependence of aerosol optical thickness can be approximated (depending on size distribution) by, τa = β λα where α is Angstrom exponent (β = aerosol optical thickness at 1 μm)Angstrom exponent (computed from τ measurements on two different wavelengths) can be used to find τ on another wavelength using the relation.The Angstrom exponent provides additional information on the particle size (larger the exponent, the smaller the particle size), aerosol phase function and the relative magnitude of aerosol radiances at different wavelengths.

  text: F Standard Name Table, http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/67/build/cf-standard-na
definition: The sea surface subskin temperature is the temperature at the base of the conductive laminar sub-layer of the ocean surface, that is, at a depth of approximately 1 - 1.5 millimeters below the air-sea interface. For practical purposes, this quantity can be well approximated to the measurement of surface temperature by a microwave radiometer operating in the 6 - 11 gigahertz frequency range, but the relationship is neither direct nor invariant to changing physical conditions or to the specific geometry of the microwave measurements. Measurements of this quantity are subject to a large potential diurnal cycle due to thermal stratification of the upper ocean layer in low wind speed high solar irradiance conditions.

definition: The East Atlantic (EA) pattern is the second prominent mode of low-frequency variability over the North Atlantic, and appears as a leading mode in all months. The EA pattern is structurally similar to the NAO, and consists of a north-south dipole of anomaly centers spanning the North Atlantic from east to west. The anomaly centers of the EA pattern are displaced southeastward to the approximate nodal lines of the NAO pattern. For this reason, the EA pattern is often interpreted as a “southward shifted” NAO pattern. However, the lower-latitude center contains a strong subtropical link in association with modulations in the subtropical ridge intensity and location. This subtropical link makes the EA pattern distinct from its NAO counterpart. This EA pattern is similar to that shown in the Barnston and Livezey (1987) study, but is distinctly different from the EA pattern originally defined by Wallace and Gutzler (1981).The positive phase of the EA pattern is associated with above-average surface temperatures in Europe in all months, and with below-average temperatures over the southern U.S. during January-May and in the north-central U.S. during July-October. It is also associated with above-average precipitation over northern Europe and Scandinavia, and with below-average precipitation across southern Europe.The EA pattern exhibits very strong multi-decadal variability in the 1950-2004 record, with the negative phase prevailing during much of 1950-1976, and the positive phase occurring during much of 1977-2004. The positive phase of the EA pattern was particularly strong and persistent during 1997-2004, when 3-month running mean values routinely averaged 1.0-2.0 standard deviations above normal.

  text: Huschke, R.E. 1959. Glossary of Meteorology. American Meteorological Association, Boston, MA. See also: Pickard, G.L. and W.J. Emery. 1990. Descriptive Physical Oceanography: An Introduction. Pergamon Press, NY
definition: Convection is energy transfer through motion of within the fluid resultingin transport and mixing of the properties of the fluid. Inoceanography, convection plays a role in the transfer of heat away fromthe ocean. As the air near the warm sea surface gets heated, it expandsand rises, carrying the heat away. In physical oceanography, the sinkingof surface waters to form deep water masses, a process of fundamentalimportance for ocean climate and the maintenance of a stably stratifiedworld ocean. There are two main types of deep convection, the physics ofwhich are very different. The first is convection near an open boundary,which involves the formation of a dense water mass which reaches thebottom of the ocean by descending a continental slope. The second type isopen-ocean deep convection, where the sinking occurs far from land and ispredominantly vertical.

CHLORINE MONOXIDE
type: Concept
reference:
  text: Atmospheric and Air Chemistry Glossary from the Sam Houston State University. 'http://www.shsu.edu/~chemistry/Glossary/glos.html'
definition: ClO - a radical species which plays an important role in the breakdown of stratospheric ozone over Antarctica. Formed by the photolysis of CFCs in the stratosphere and the subsequent destruction of an ozone molecule, these radicals can act as a catalyst in the destruction of ozone while not being destroyed themselves. ClO, reacting with a oxygen atom (present from the Chapman Mechanism), releases a free chlorine radical once again. As a result, one Cl atom can destroy thousands of ozone molecules before being sequestered as HCl or another reservoir species (see chlorine nitrate).

RADIATION EXPOSURE

change note: Date=2017-03-10 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Exposure to ionizing and nonionizing radiation on humans. Ionizing radiation includes highly energetic electromagnetic radiation (x-rays, gamma rays, or cosmic rays) and particulate radiation (alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons, or heavy charged ions). Nonionizing radiation includes ultraviolet radiation (UV), microwaves, and extralow-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation. These two types of radiation have different modes of action on biological material. Ionizing radiation originates from external sources (medical equipment, computer and TV displays) or from internal sources (ingested or inhaled radioisotopes, such as radon-222, strontium-90 and iodine-131, and is either anthropogenic or natural. Nonionizing radiation originates from natural sources (sunlight, Earth's magnetic field, lightning, static electricity, endogenous body currents) and technological sources (computer and TV video displays, microwave ovens, communications equipment, electric equipment and appliances, and high-voltage transmission lines).

definition: The apparent temperature of the surface assuming a surface emissivity of 1.0. Setting the emissivity to one is equivalent to assuming the target is a blackbody, so the brightness temperature is defined as the temperature a blackbody would be in order to produce the radiance perceived by the sensor.Brightness Temperature is a descriptive measure of radiation in terms of the temperature of a hypothetical blackbody emitting an identical amount of radiation at the same wavelength. The brightness temperature is obtained by applying the inverse of the Planck function to the measured radiation. Depending on the nature of the source of radiation and any subsequent absorption, the brightness temperature may be independent of, or highly dependent on, the wavelength of the radiation. Units: C

definition: The movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment, and/or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. An understanding of sediment transport is typically used in natural systems, where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay; the fluid is air, water, or ice; and the force of gravity acts to move the particles due to the sloping surface on which they are resting.

reference:
  text: http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Microclimate
definition: The fine climatic structure of the air space that extends from the very surface of the earth to a height where the effects of the immediate character of the underlying surface no longer can be distinguished from the general local climate (mesoclimate or macroclimate).The microclimate varies with and in turn is superimposed upon the larger-scale conditions. While some rigid limits have been placed on the thickness of the layer concerned, it is more realistic to consider variable thicknesses. (Observe the microclimate of a putting green versus that of a redwood forest.) Generally, four times the height of surface growth or structures defines the level where microclimatic overtones disappear. Microclimate can be subdivided into as many different classes as there are types of underlying surface. With sufficient detail, this could be almost limitless. Currently, the most studied broad types are the 'urban microclimate,' affected by pavement, buildings, air pollution, dense inhabitation, etc., the 'vegetation microclimate,' concerned with the complex nature of the air space occupied by vegetation, and its effects upon the vegetation (see phytoclimatology); and the microclimate of confined spaces (the cryptoclimate) of houses, greenhouses, caves, etc.

reference:
  text: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.ecolsys.110308.120159
definition: Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes, sometimes requiring extrapolation in space and time. SDMs are now widely used across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms. Differences in methods between disciplines reflect both differences in species mobility and in “established use.” Model realism and robustness is influenced by selection of relevant predictors and modeling method, consideration of scale, how the interplay between environmental and geographic factors is handled, and the extent of extrapolation. Current linkages between SDM practice and ecological theory are often weak, hindering progress. Remaining challenges include: improvement of methods for modeling presence-only data and for model selection and evaluation; accounting for biotic interactions; and assessing model uncertainty.

The Palmer Index is most effective in determining long term drought¿a matter of several months¿and is not as good with short-term forecasts (a matter of weeks). It uses a 0 as normal, and drought is shown in terms of minus numbers; for example, minus 2 is moderate drought, minus 3 is severe drought, and minus 4 is extreme drought. The Crop Moisture Index (CMI) is also a formula that was developed by Wayne Palmer subsequent to his development of the Palmer Drought Index. The CMI responds more rapidly than the Palmer Index and can change considerably from week to week, so it is more effective in calculating short-term abnormal dryness or wetness affecting agriculture. CMI is designed to indicate normal conditions at the beginning and end of the growing season; it uses the same levels as the Palmer Drought Index.

A monsoon is a name for seasonal winds. It was first applied to the winds over the Arabian Sea, which blow for six months from northeast and for six months from southwest, but it has been extended to similar winds in other parts of the world. Even in Europe the prevailing west to northwest winds of summer have been called the "European monsoon." The primary cause is the much greater annual variation of temperature over large land areas compared with neighboring ocean surfaces, causing an excess of pressure over the continents in winter and a deficit in summer, but other factors such as the relief features of the land have a considerable effect. The monsoons are strongest on the southern and eastern sides of Asia, the largest landmass, but monsoons also occur on the coasts of tropical regions wherever the planetary circulation is not strong enough to inhibit them. They have been described in Spain, northern Australia, Africa except the Mediterranean, Texas, and the western coasts of the United States and Chile. In India the term is popularly applied chiefly to the southwest monsoon and, by extension, to the rains which it brings. language code: en

These orbital changes change the total amount of sunlight reaching the Earth by up to 25% at mid-latitudes (from 400 to 500 Wm−2 at latitudes of 60 degrees). In this context, the term 'forcing' signifies a physical process that affects the Earth's climate.

definition: Airspeed is the speed on an exposed (usually airborne) object relative to the atmosphere. In a calm atmosphere, airspeed equals ground speed. Ground speed is the speed of an airborne object relative to the earth's surface. It is the magnitude of the vector sum of the object's velocity with respect to the air and the wind velocity, or, expressed in a different manner, the algebraic sum of the aircraft's airspeed and the wind factor.

A measurement is made of either the Doppler shift or absolute phase as the satellite’s orbit moves over the ground-based beacon. DORIS has been included as a host experiment on various space missions. Platforms with on-board DORIS receivers are CryoSat-2, HY-2A, OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-3, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, SARAL, and SPOT-4 and -5. Unlike many other navigation systems, DORIS is based on an uplink device. The receivers are on board the satellite while the transmitters are on the ground.

definition: Excess phase quantifies the optical path of a temporally coherent signal as it transects the Earth’s limb less the optical path that would have been obtained by a straight-line vacuum path. Excess phase is induced by refraction of a GNSS signal by the Earth’s atmosphere and ionosphere in GNSS radio occultation. It has the dimension of distance, specifically the temporal refractive delay of a signal multiplied by the speed of light in a vacuum. Its associated independent coordinate is the time of signal reception by a low-Earth orbiting GNSS receiver.

reference:
  text: DiGangi et al. (2022)
definition: Thunder hours represent a historical measure of lightning occurrence and a metric of thunderstorm frequency that is comparatively less sensitive to geographic variations in the detection capabilities of a lightning location system. Thunder hours can be calculated for the entire globe using ground-based detection networks (DiGangi et al. 2022) or satellite-based systems (Cecil et al. 2015). These datasets offer a way to observe long-term trends of lightning across the diurnal cycle. Thunder hours can be developed from multiple lightning observation systems where at the temporal and spatial scale used, the various differences in observational techniques are mitigated. Thunder hour datasets are being produced for the World Meteorological Organization to provide an easy to produce, long-term, global lightning observations. The DiGangi et al. (2022) abstract states that thunder hours are an intuitive measure of thunderstorm frequency where the 1-h interval corresponds to the life-span of most thunderstorms, and the hourly temporal resolution of the data also represents long-lived systems well. Flash-density-observing systems are incredibly useful, but they have some drawbacks that limit how they can be used to quantify global thunderstorm activity on a climatological scale: flash density distributions derived from satellite observations must sacrifice a great deal of their spatial resolution in order to capture the diurnal convective cycle, and the detection efficiencies of ground-based lightning detection systems are not uniform in space or constant in time. Examining convective patterns in the context of thunder hours lends insight into thunderstorm activity without being heavily influenced by network performance, making thunder hours particularly useful for studying thunderstorm climatology.

definition: The phase of precipitation, i.e., solid (e.g., snow, sleet) or liquid (rain), is a crucial property in weather forecasts, satellite precipitation retrievals, and modeling. The shift of precipitation phase from solid to liquid will alter surface energy balance, affect water resource management, and increase risks of natural hazards.

definition: Phytoplankton absorb sunlight and use this energy to produce energy-rich organic material (photosynthesis). Chlorophylls, present in all phytoplankton cells, cause 2 dominant peaks in absorption spectra: a primary peak in the blue (440 nm) and a secondary peak in red part of the spectra (675 nm). Presence of other pigments (depending on species and taxa) will cause the broadening of the blue peak and the appearance of additional absorption maxima. Spectra of phytoplankton absorption vary in magnitude and shape due to diﬀerent cellular pigment compositions and pigment packaging.

definition: The stratospheric polar vortex is a large-scale region of air that is contained by a strong west-to-east jet stream that circles the polar region. This jet stream is usually referred to as the polar night jet. The polar vortex extends from the tropopause (the dividing line between the stratosphere and troposphere) through the stratosphere and into the mesosphere (above 50 km). Low values of ozone and cold temperatures are associated with the air inside the vortex.
