From: The Exploratorium: http://www.exploratorium.edu/climate/glossary/ice-core.html
An ice core is a section of ice drilled from a glacier or ice sheet. Icedeposits contain samples of the atmosphere at the time the ice formed; theyalso record seasonal fluctuations of temperature and dust. That's why ice coresare extremely valuable sources of paleoclimate data on the Earth's climatein the distant past. Researchers drill sections of ice cores hundreds of meterslong and then match sections at different depths with particular eras in theEarth's past. These sections can then be analyzed for clues about atmosphericgases and temperatures from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE FLUX
Solar energetic particles are high energy particles occasionally emitted fromactive areas on the Sun, associated with solar flares and coronal massejections. The Earth¿s magnetic field keeps them out of regions close to Earth(except for the polar caps) but they can pose a hazard to space travelers farfrom Earth. Solar energetic particles are somtimes referred to as solar cosmicrays.

NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS
Date=2013-03-20 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The summer polar mesopause is the coldest region of the Earth's atmosphere, reaching temperatures as low as -140°C. It is sufficiently cold for noctilucent ('night shining') clouds to form in summer, at altitudes around 83 km. Noctilucent clouds can only be seen when the sun is shining on them (at ~83 km) and not on the lower atmosphere, i.e. when the sun is between 6 and 16 degrees below the horizon. They are a summer, polar phenomena but because of the restrictive viewing conditions they are most commonly observed at latitudes between 55 and 65 degrees. Noctilucent clouds were first reported in 1885 when they were independently observed in Germany and Russia. This was two years after the volcanic explosion of Krakatoa in the Straits of Java. One hypothesis is that the initial observation of noctilucent clouds was related to an increase in the number of observers of the twilight skies attracted by the spectacular displays resulting from the globally distributed volcanic debris of Krakatoa. Alternatively, water vapour injected into the upper atmosphere by the volcano ultimately reached the cold, dry upper mesophere. Subsequent observations have proved that noctilucent clouds are not solely related to volcanic activity, and their volcanic association is now scientifically contentious. It has been alternatively claimed that the appearance of noctilucent clouds is the earliest evidence of anthropogenic climate change. Noctilucent cloud observations from north-west Europe over the last 30 years show an increasing trend in the number of nights on which the clouds are observed each summer season, superimposed on a decadal variability that appears to be solar-cycle related. Competing anthropogenic explanations for this increasing occurrence of noctilucent clouds focus on either excessive greenhouse cooling of the middle atmosphere or increased water vapour linked to increased methane release associated principally with intensive farming activities. They have been observed thousands of times in the northern hemisphere, but less than 100 observations have been reported from the southern hemisphere. It has not been resolved if this is due to inter-hemispheric differences (temperature &/or water vapour) in the atmosphere at these altitudes, or the lack of observers and poorer observing conditions in southern latitudes. language code: en

Subsetting/Supersetting services are defined as Data Handling Services that, in the case of subsetting, create a smaller set of Earth science data from a larger set. In the case of supersetting the service creates an aggregate dataset from the contents of several data sets. In no instance of supersetting or subsetting is the data transformed (see transformation) (e.g., averaging), only transferred from one data set to another. EXAMPLES: Global cloud-free composite image (supersetting). Selecting one station's data from a data set containing 40 stations (subsetting).

Marine sediments are composed of both biogenic and terrigenous materials.Biogenic sediments includes the remains of planktic and benthic organisms,which provide a record of past climate and oceanic circulation. Terrigenousmaterial provides a record of humidity-aridity variations on the continents,intensity and direction of winds, and other modes of sediment transport(rivers, glaciers, erosion, etc.).
AURORA FORECASTS
Adapted from Space Weather Center, 'http://www.spaceweathercenter.org/glossary/001/01.html'
Forecasts that help scientists predict the occurance of aurora. An aurora is the bright emission of atoms and molecules in Earth's polar upper atmosphere that appears as permanent, ring shaped belts called the auroral oval around thenorth and south magnetic poles. Aurora are associated with a global electrical discharge process triggered by solar wind disturbances. The emissions are caused by energetic particles from Earth's magnetotail region impinging on the upper atmosphere. Aurora occur about 70 miles above Earth's surface. Contrary to popular belief, they do not produce any sounds.

MOSSES/HORNWORTS/LIVERWORTS
Adapted from: Gould, J. and W.Keaton. 1996. Biological Science. W.W. Norton and Company. New York, New York.
Mosses and Liverworts belong to the Phylum Bryophyta, Class Musciand Hepaticae, respectively. Bryophytes are relatively small plants thatgrow in moist places on land -- on damp rocks and logs, on the forestfloor, in swamps or marshes, or beside streams and pools. In a moss, thesporophyte stage of the life cycle is a relatively simple structureconsisting of three parts: a foot embedded in the 'leafy' greengametophyte, a stalk, and a distal capsule, or sporangium. The gametophyteplants of some liverworts resemble mosses except that the 'leaves' arescaly in appearance, and the 'stem' is prostrate. Other liverworts growas flat green structures lying on the substratum.

ICE SHEETS
American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology. 'http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/'
A continuous sheet of land ice that covers a very large area and moves outward in many 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.

Coccolithophores are extremely small, flagellated organisms of the KingdomProtista, which are adorned with buttons of calcium carbonate, called coccoliths. The coccolithophores appear to contribute significantly to marine food chains by capturing radiant energy and manufacturing food during photosynthesis. The coccolithophores make up a considerable portion of the microscopic life in warmer regions, such as the Sargasso Sea.

Adapted from the National Drought Mitigation Center and the United States Drought Monitor
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 streamflow, 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 bydrought, how long is it affected, and how severely it is affected).

The length of the growing season in any given region refers to the number of days when plant growth takes place. The growing season often determines which crops can be grown in an area, as some crops require long growing seasons, while others mature rapidly. Growing season length is limited by many different factors. Depending on the region and the climate, the growing season is influenced by air temperatures, frost days, rainfall, or daylight hours. language code: en

Adapted from Geomorphology from Space
'Tectonic landforms' are structural landforms of regional extent. These landforms make up extensive landscapes whose topography is strongly influenced by the structure of underlying rocks that have undergone (or are undergoing) some degree of deformation (and possible associated metamorphism and igneous intrusion). Landscapes developed on orogenic belts, uplifts, domes, basins, and shields can all be thought of as tectonic landforms. 'Tectonic processes' are large-scale geologic processes that develop these landforms and include mountain building and crustal rifting.

Drought duration refers to the length of time over which drought conditions persist. 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).

LANDSLIDES
Jackson, Julia A. (1997) Glossary of Geology, 4th Edition. Alexandria, VA: American Geological Institute, 769 p. See 'http://www-socal.wr.usgs.gov/north/landslide.html' as an example. For contributing factors to landslides,see 'http://landslides.usgs.gov/html_files/nlic/page5.html'.
A general term covering a wide variety of mass-movement landforms and processesinvolving the downslope transport, under gravitational influence, of soil and rock material en masse. Usually the displaced material move over a relatively confined zone or surface of shear. The wide range of sites and structures, andof material properties affecting resistance to shear, result in a great range of landslide morephology, rates, patterns of movement, and scale. Landsliding is usually preceded, accompanied, and followed by imperceptible creep along thesurface of sliding and/or within the slide mass. Terminology designating landslide types generally refers to the landform as well as the process responsible for it, e.g. rockfall, translational slide, block glide, avalanche,mudflow, liquefaction slide and slump. A Landslide Advisory may be included in other types of advisories such as ones for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and floods. Landslide advisories may alsotake the form of landslide susceptibility and probability maps.

AMPHIBIANS
Amphibians are craniates with a permeable skin across which respiration can take place. Their life cycle includes a shell-less egg which gives rise to a distinct larval form. The amphibians are free living in fresh water and on land (some are arboreal) but all are dependent on water or damp conditions.

Halons are a group of brominated organic compounds used as fire retardants. Thetransport of these compounds to the stratosphere, followed by their photolysisto release Br (Bromine) atoms, gives this group a very high ozone depletionpotential. The production of these compounds is now banned according to theMontreal Protocol. Halogens are made up of the elements fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br),iodine (I), and astatine (At). The first four members are present in traceamounts in the atmosphere as a result of both natural and anthropogenicactivity.

Monitoring water storage and its variations is impor-tant to understanding local hydrological processesand the global water cycle, which sustains all life onEarth. The development of satellite remote-sensingtechniques has benefited the retrieval of terrestrialwater storage and its variations, which has emerged asa new discipline. Focusing on terrestrial water storage,this chapter describes three major retrievalapproaches: the water-balance-based approach, thesurface-parameter-based approach, and the GravityRecovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)-basedapproach. Accurate estimates of terrestrial waterstorage and its variations are still being developed.

HYDROGEN CYANIDE
From the Cambridge Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Support Unit. 'http://www.acmsu.nerc.ac.uk/newsletter11/news8.html'
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was discovered by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1782, who prepared it from the pigment Prussian blue (hence its other name of prussic acid). There are many naturally occurring substances yielding cyanide in certain seeds, such as the pit of the wild cherry. It usually occurs in combination with plant sugars. The tuberous edible plant of the spurge family called cassava (also known as manioc, mandioc, or yuca) was used by primitive peoples to produce HCN for poison darts and arrows. HCN is produced by other plants, bacteria and fungi. Emissions from CN radicals are occasionally observed from lightning disturbed air. Hydrogen cyanide is produced by biomass burning since nitrogen in plant material is mostly present as amino acids and upon combustionthis nitrogen is emitted as a variety of compounds including NH3, NO, NO2, N2O,organic nitriles and nitrates. It is interesting to note that the atmospheric measurements of HCN reported by Zander et al. (1988) gave a mixing ratio for HCN in the Southern Hemisphere which was approximately 5% higher than that for the Northern Hemisphere. This may be due to biomass burning. There are many anthropogenic sources of compounds containing CN which can be released into the atmosphere. Cyanides are used in a variety of chemical processes including fumigation, case hardening of iron and steel, electroplating and in the concentration of ores. Hydrogen cyanide is used to prepare polyacrylonitrile fibres (known by the generic name of acrylic) synthetic rubber, plastics, and in gas masers to produce a wavelength of 3.34 mm. Hydrogen cyanide is a combustion product which is a human hazard during domestic and industrial fires and from tobacco smoking. Some catalytic converters in bad repair can produce large amounts of Hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is produced in large quantities for laboratory and commercial use by three principle methods: Treatment of sodium cyanide with sulphuric acid, catalytic oxidation of a methane-ammonia mixture, and decomposition of formamide (HCONH2).

POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are major components of complex lipid molecules and are also involved in numerous critical biological processes. Studies conducted mainly in vertebrates have demonstrated that LC-PUFA can be biosynthesized through the concerted action of two sets of enzymes, namely fatty acyl desaturases (Fads) and elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins. While LC-PUFA research is a thriving field, mainly focused on human health, an integrated view regarding the evolution of LC-PUFA biosynthetic genetic machinery in chordates is yet to be produced. Particularly important is to understand whether lineage specific life history trajectories, as well as major biological transitions, or particular genomic processes such as genome duplications have impacted the evolution of LC-PUFA biosynthetic pathways. Here we review the gene repertoire of Fads and Elovl in chordate genomes and the diversity of substrate specificities acquired during evolution. We take advantage of the magnitude of genomic and functional data to show that combination duplication processes and functional plasticity have generated a wide diversity of physiological capacities in extant lineages. A clear evolutionary framework is provided, which will be instrumental for the full clarification of functional capacities between the various vertebrate groups

IPCC Special Report: Global Warming of 1.5ºC Glossary: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/glossary/
An interaction in which a perturbation in one climate quantity causes achange in a second and the change in the second quantity ultimatelyleads to an additional change in the first. A negative feedback is one inwhich the initial perturbation is weakened by the changes it causes; apositive feedback is one in which the initial perturbation is enhanced.The initial perturbation can either be externally forced or arise as part ofinternal variability.

Nebel, Bernard J. and Richard T. Wright. Environmental Science: the Way the World Works.-6th ed. 1998. Prentice Hall, Inc. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
Trophic dynamics are major interactions among organisms which involvefeeding relationships. The feeding levels are called trophic levelswhere all producers belong to the first trophic level; all primaryconsumers (in other words, all herbivores), whether feeding on living ordead producers, belong to the second trophic level; organisms feeding onthese herbivores belong to the third level, and so on.

Development is often achieved through trade-offs between these pillars. Therefore, in order to promote sustainability, it has become increasingly important to be able to measure how vulnerable each aspect is to damage and to identify ways of building resilience.

Terrestrial - related to the Earth, A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice.On Earth, liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water vapor is most visible as clouds and fog.The frozen part of Earth's hydrosphere is made of ice: glaciers, ice caps and icebergs. The frozen part of the hydrosphere has its own name, the cryosphere. Water moves through the hydrosphere in a cycle. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow. This water collects in rivers, lakes and oceans. Then it evaporates into the atmosphere to start the cycle all over again. This is called the water cycle.

USDA
Silviculture is the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands to meet the diverse needs and values of landowners and society such as wildlife habitat, timber, water resources, restoration, and recreation on a sustainable basis. This is accomplished by applying different types of silvicultural treatments such as thinning, harvesting, planting, pruning, prescribed burning and site preparation. Intermediate treatments (thinning) are designed to enhance growth, quality, vigor, and composition of the stand after establishment or regeneration and prior to final harvest. Regeneration treatments (harvesting) are applied to mature stands in order to establish a new age class of trees. Regeneration methods are grouped into four categories: coppice, even-aged, two-aged, and uneven-aged.All vegetation activities, including prescribed fire, wildlife habitat improvement, timber harvesting and cutting trees in campgrounds for human safety must have a silvicultural prescription. A silvicultural prescription is a document which has a planned series of treatments designed to change current stand structure and composition of a stand to one that meets management goals. The prescription normally considers ecological, economic, and societal objectives and constraints. In the Forest Service, silvicultural prescriptions are prepared or reviewed by a certified silviculturist prior to implementing the project or treatment.

Fatty acid desaturases are enzymes that introduce double bonds into fatty acyl chains. They are present in all groups of organisms, i.e., bacteria, fungi, plants and animals, and play a key role in the maintenance of the proper structure and functioning of biological membranes. The desaturases are characterized by the presence of three conserved histidine tracks which are presumed to compose the Fe-binding active centers of the enzymes. Recent findings on the structure and expression of different types of fatty acid desaturase in cyanobacteria, plants and animals are reviewed in this article. Roles of individual desaturases in temperature acclimation and principles of regulation of the desaturase genes are discussed.

Sulfur is the fourteenth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Sulfur isconsistently exchanged between the lithosphere, biopsphere, hydrosphere, andatmosphere. Sulfur in the atmosphere, in both gaseous and aerosol form, hasimapcts on regional and global chemistry, climate change, and the health ofliving organisms. Sulfur gases can also affect stratospheric chemistry.Carbonyl sulfide (OCS) and volcanic emissions may affect Earth's radiationbudget and climate as well as ozone destriction in the stratosphere.

Black carbon is one kind of aerosols. In climatology, black carbon is a climate forcing agent contributing to global warming. Chemically, black carbon (BC) is a component of fine particulate matter (PM ≤ 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter). Black carbon consists of pure carbon in several linked forms. It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is one of the main types of particle in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon causes human morbidity and premature mortality. Because of these human health impacts, many countries have worked to reduce their emissions, making it an easy pollutant to abate in anthropogenic sources.

SOLAR ULTRAVIOLET EMISSIONS
Foukal, P., ed. 1987. Solar Radiative Output Variation: Proceedings of a Workshop held Nov. 9-11, 1987 at NCAR, Boulder, CO. Cambridge Research and Instrumentation, Inc.
Radiation with wavelengths roughly between 200 and 400 nanometers.These wavelengths are shorter than those which characterize visiblelight. Observations from satellites in the UV and extreme UV (EUV)wavelengths have demonstrated the sun's UV variability over short timescales of days and weeks. UV variability is linked to solar magneticactivity phenomena such as flares and plages. Studies of the UV and EUVirradiance variability may have indicated influences on the Earth'sclimate dynamics.
COSMIC RAYS
High energy particles and photons emitted by stellar processes. The highestenergies have been observed at 10*8 Tev and are believed to come from shocksemanating from galaxies. Solar cosmic rays are protons observed at 1 Gev,having been accelerated by shocks associated with solar flares.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt_aerosol McComiskey, A.(Editor), Andrews, E., et al., Aerosols and Radiation - NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory IPCC Third Assessment Report: Climate Change 2001
Sea salt aerosol, which originally comes from sea spray, is one of the most widely distributed natural aerosols. Sea salt aerosols are characterized as non-light-absorbing, highly hygroscopic, and having coarse particle size. Some sea salt dominated aerosols could have a single scattering albedo as large as ~0.97. Due to the hygroscopy, a sea salt particle can serve as a very efficient cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), altering cloud reflectivity, lifetime, and precipitation process. According to the IPCC report, the total sea salt flux from ocean to atmosphere is ~3300 Tg/yr
SOLAR X-RAY EMISSIONS
On-Line Glossary of Solar-Terrestrial Terms from the NOAA Space Environment Laboratory. 'http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/GLOSSARY/glossary.html'
Solar X-Ray emissions can consist of X-Ray background flux or X-Ray bursts. Adaily average background X-ray flux is in the 1 to 8 angstrom range. It is amidday minimum designed to reduce the effects of flares. X-Ray burstsare atemporary enhancement of the X-ray emission of the sun. The time-intensityprofile of soft X-ray bursts is similar to that of the H-Alpha profile of anassociated flare. Bursts last from minutes to several hours.
SOLAR VELOCITY FIELDS
Solar velocity fields are also known as differential rotation. The sun rotatesslightly more rapidly at the equator than at the poles. Gases at the equatormake about 10 rotations, whiles gases at midlatitudes rotates 9 times and gasesat the poles rotates about 7 times. This produces a shear in the gas motionsand a pronounced E-W orientation of the magnetic field.

The temperature mean for that day was: ( 90°F + 66°F ) / 2 = 78°F Because the result is above 65°F: 78°F - 65°F = 13 Cooling Degree Days Example 2: The high temperature for a particular day was 33°F and the low temperature was 25°F. The temperature mean for that day was: ( 33°F + 25°F ) / 2 = 29°F Because the result is below 65°F: 65°F - 29°F = 36 Heating Degree Days. The calculations shown in the two examples above are performed for each day of the year and the daily degree days are accumulated so that we can compare months and seasons. language code: en

Degree days are based on the assumption that when the outside temperature is 65°F, we don't need heating or cooling to be comfortable. Degree days are the difference between the daily temperature mean, (high temperature plus low temperature divided by two) and 65°F. If the temperature mean is above 65°F, we subtract 65 from the mean and the result is Cooling Degree Days. If the temperature mean is below 65°F, we subtract the mean from 65 and the result is Heating Degree Days.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Example 1: The high temperature for a particular day was 90°F and the low temperature was 66°F.

1. (Also called perennially frozen ground, pergelisol, permanently frozen ground.) A layer of soil or bedrock at a variable depth beneath the surface of the earth in which the temperature has been below freezing continuously from a few to several thousands of years. Permafrost exists where the summer heating fails to descend to the base of the layer of frozen ground. A continuous stratum of permafrost is found where the annual mean temperature is below about 5C (23F). 2. As limited in application by P. F. Svetsov, soil that is known to have been frozen for at least a century. Muller, S. W., 1947: Permafrost, or Permanently Frozen Ground, and Related Engineering Problems, Hare, F.

MAGNETIC STORMS
A magnetic storm is a large-scale disturbance of the magnetosphere, ofteninitiated by the arrival of an interplanetary shock originating at the Sun. Amagnetic storm is marked by the injection of an appreciable number of ions fromthe magnetotail into the ring current, a process accompanied by increasedauroral displays. The strengthened ring current causes a world-wide drop in theequatorial magnetic field, taking perhaps 12 hours to reach its greatestintensity, followed by a more gradual recovery.

Maps, either static or dynamic, developed to illuminate geographic areas that are affected by or vulnerable to a particular hazard. When properly utilized by decision makers, hazards mapping can be used to save lives and reduce economic losses by limiting or avoiding exposure to a hazard. Hazards maps can be made for natural hazards, such as earthquakes and floods, as well as technological hazards like groundwater contamination and gas leaks.

ELECTRIC FIELDS/ELECTRIC CURRENTS
An electric field is the region in which electric forces can be observed, e.g. near a charged particle. As a field, it may also be viewed as a region of space modified by the presence of electric charges. An electric current is a continuous flow of electrons and/or ions, through a material which conducts electricity. A current usually flows in a closed circuit, without beginning or end. In daily life, currents are generally driven through wires by voltages produced by batteries or generators. In space plasmas, currents are produced by the movement of charged paricles in the presence of a magnetic field.

Karstification is the geologic process of differential chemical and mechanicalerosion by water on soluble bodies of rock, such as limestone, dolomite,gypsum, or salt, at or near the Earth4s surface. Karstification is exhibitedbest on thick, fractured, and pure limestones in a humid environment in whichthe subsurface and surface are being modified simultaneously. The resultingkarst morphology usually characterized by dolines (sinkholes), hums (towers),caves, and a complex subsurface.

OXYGEN ISOTOPES
Bradley, R.S. 1999. Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary, 2nd edition. Harcourt Academic Press (especially Chapter 6.3).
Isotopes of oxygen (O-18, O-16, O-13) are found in calcium carbonate in seawater. The production of O18 is highly dependent on temperature. The oxygenisotope record in marine sediments varies locally with temperature and globallywith variations in continental ice volume. Oxygen isotope analyses have beencarried out on deep sea cores from areas of calcareous sedimentation throughoutthe world and similar variations in O18 are recorded everywhere. The O18 signalis that of ice volume changes on the continents and concomitant changes in theisotopic content of the oceans.

WEB PROCESSING SERVICES
The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) is designed to standardize the way that GIS calculations are made available to the Internet. WPS can describe any calculation (i.e. process) including all of its inputs and outputs, and trigger its execution as a Web Service. WPS supports simultaneous exposure of processes via HTTP GET, HTTP POST, and SOAP, thus allowing the client to choose the most appropriate interface mechanism. The specific processes served up by a WPS implementation are defined by the owner of that implementation. Although WPS was designed to work with spatially referenced data, it can be used with any kind of data.

GLACIATION
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaciation
A glaciation (a created composite term meaning Glacial Period, referring to thePeriod or Era of, as well as the process of High Glacial Activity), oftencalled an ice age, is a geological phenomenon in which massive ice sheets formin the Arctic and Antarctic and advance toward the equator. Conversely, theterm interglacial or Interglacial Period, such as the current era, is used todenote the absence of large-scale glaciation on a global scale ¿ i.e., anon-Ice Age. Interglacials are, in general, shorter than glacial epochs.

Date=2021-02-26 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Ozone (O3) is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs UV radiation and creates a warm layer of air high in the stratosphere. Ozone that is present in the troposphere is mostly a result of anthropogenic pollution and therefore higher concentrations are found in urban areas. Ozone is involved with NOx in the photochemical production of many of the constituents of pollution environments (see nitrogen oxides and hydroxyl definitions) [Chemical and Engineering News; v72; 6-7; 1994.] [Aviation Week and Space Technology; v140; 20-21; 1994.] New Value=Atmospheric Ozone is one of the most important trace gases in our atmosphere that both benefits and harms life on Earth. High ground-level ozone amounts contribute to poor air quality, adversely affecting human health, agricultural productivity, and forested ecosystems. Ozone absorbs infrared radiation, and is most potent as a greenhouse gas in the cold upper troposphere located 8–15 km above the surface. In the stratosphere, between approximately 15 and 50 km above the Earth’s surface, a layer rich in ozone serves as a “sunscreen” for the world by shielding the Earth’s surface from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This absorption of solar energy also affects atmospheric circulation patterns and thus influences weather around the globe. Moreover, throughout the atmosphere, ozone is the key ingredient that initiates chemical cleansing of the atmosphere of various pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and methane, among others, which could otherwise accumulate to harmful levels or exert a stronger influence on climate. Therefore, changes to ozone anywhere in the atmosphere can have major impacts on the Earth.

The goal in constructing a precipitation-based measure of ENSO was to estimate the gradient of rainfall anomalies across the Pacific basin and ensure a good relationship with SST- and pressure-based indices. Areas were selected that represent the Maritime Continent (MC) (10° N – 10°S; 90° E – 150° E) and central to eastern Pacific (P) (10° N – 10° S; 160° E – 100° W). These regions capture the largest precipitation anomalies associated with the interannual variations of the Walker circulation and contain the largest correlations between GPCP and Nino 3.4 and SOI. Within P and MC the absolute magnitude of the largest correlation is over +0.6. Because of the spatially varying nature of rainfall, it was decided to use a moving block average which would capture the strongest zonal gradients within the equatorial Pacific. This procedure is unlike many fixed area average indices, and allows for a realistic meridional component of the precipitation gradient and migration of the ascending and descending branches of the Walker circulation.

The relatively simple calculation of the Aerosol Index is based on wavelength dependent changes in Rayleigh scattering in the UV spectral range where ozone absorption is very small. UVAI can also be calculated in the presence of clouds so that daily, global coverage is possible. This is ideal for tracking the evolution of episodic aerosol plumes from dust outbreaks, volcanic ash, and biomass burning.

Coalescence between colliding drops is affected by the impact energy, which tends to increase with the higher fall velocities of larger drops. Colliding drops having negligible impact energy compared to their surface energy behave as water spheres that collide with a collision efficiency (the fraction of small drops that collide with a large drop within the geometric collision cross section) predicted by the theory for falling spheres. The result of increasing impact energy is to flatten the colliding drops at the point of impact, impeding the drainage of the air and delaying contact between them. As the distortion relaxes, the drops rebound, reducing the coalescence efficiency for cloud drops and drizzle drops colliding with smaller drops. At larger impact energy, separation will occur if the rotational energy (fixed by conservation of angular momentum) is higher than the surface energy of the coalescing drops. This phenomenon, termed temporary coalescence, can result in satellite droplets considerably smaller than either of the parent drops. This phenomenon is also called partial coalescence because the large drop may gain mass as a result of the higher internal pressure in the small drop. At still larger impact energy, drop breakup occurs for the smaller drop. About 20% of the high-energy collisions between large raindrops (d > 3 mm) and drizzle drops (d > 0.2 mm) result in the disintegration of both drops. Other factors that affect coalescence are electric charge and electric field, both of which promote coalescence, leading to earlier onset of coalescence during an interaction so that coalescence efficiencies are increased by suppression of rebound and temporary coalescence.

Radiolarians belong to the class Actinopoda, meaning 'ray feet' which refersto the numerous slender, reinforced pseudopods that radiate from the body.Like foramniferans, the radiolarians are well represented in the fossilrecord, for they have ornate, silica-hardened parts that resistdegradation. Radiolarian shells contribute to the formation of siliceousrocks such as chert.

Hypoxia in aquatic systems refers to waters where thedissolved oxygen concentration is below 2 mg/L. Most organisms avoid, orbecome physiologically stressed, in waters with oxygen below thisconcentration. Also known as a dead zone, hypoxia can also kill marineorganisms which cannot escape the low-oxygen water, affecting commercialharvests and the health of impacted ecosystems.3. Rationale: Numerous researchers are studying hypoxia, the hypoxiczone, and its effect on fisheries. It is becoming a highly visible hottopic in the Gulf of Mexico and other regions as the onset of hypoxia islargely due to increased nutrient run off from agriculture practices in theMississippi River watershed. I think there needs to be a unifying keywordto link these datasets together for users to discover hypoxia related dataacross multiple organizations and programs.

AVALANCHE FORECASTS
Adapted from: 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche'
An avalanche is caused when a build up of snow is released down a slope, and isone of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter. In an avalanche,lots of material or mixtures of different types of material fall or sliderapidly under the force of gravity. Avalanches are often classified by whatthey are made of, for example snow, ice, rock or soil avalanches. A mixture ofthese would be called a debris avalanche. A large avalanche can run for miles, and can create massive destruction of the lower forest and anything else in its path. Avalanches occur when the load onthe upper snow layers exceeds bonding forces (bonding to layer beneath, supportfrom anchors such as rocks and trees, stress support from top or bottom ofslope). Critical load may be exceeded naturally by adding new snow or by rapid loading, by falling ice, cornices and similar means. The bonding forces within a snowpack are affected by temperatures (e.g., a lubricated melt layer, or afragile crystal layer) before, during and after snowfall. Avalanches are also triggered by humans - because of the additional weight, kicks during skiing (e.g. during jumps) or intentionally by explosives, slope-cuts and other means. An Avalanche Advisory reports on conditions favorable for an avalanche and willprovide locations in which an avalanche is more likely to occur.

The reflectance properties of ice bodies. A smooth ice surface will act as a near-specular reflector. As surface roughness increases, the reflection becomes diffuse. It is the ratio of the intensity of reflected radiation to that of the incident radiation on a surface. The suffix (-ance) implies a property of that particular specimen surface.
GISP2 (Greenland) Ice Cores and Climate Change: http://www.gisp2.sr.unh.edu/GISP2/MoreInfo/Ice_Cores_Past.html '
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.

A community is a group of populations of plants and animals in a givenplace or an ecological unit used in a broad sense to include groups ofvarious sizes and degrees of integration. Community structure can refer tothe physical structure or to the biological structure of a community. Thephysical structure is what one sees when looking at a community. Forexample, in a forest, a primary structure is imposed by large trees, and asecondary structure is the understory trees and shrubs. Biologicalstructure involves species composition and abundance, temporal changes incommunities, and relationships between species in a community.

The phenomenon of orderly transition from one biotic community to anotherand is also known as ecological or natural succession. Natural successionoccurs because the physical environment may be gradually modified by thegrowth of the biotic community itself, such that the area becomes morefavorable to another group of species and less favorable to the presentoccupants.

CFC-12 (also known by the trade name Freon or Freon-12) is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and potent greenhouse gas that was widely used in air conditioners for automobiles and trucks for over 30 years, up until the mid-1990s. While use of CFC-12 in new vehicles has been banned since 1994, some vehicles built before then may still use it if they have not already been retrofitted to a non-ozone depleting refrigerant and they are still on the road.

Atmospheric and Air Chemistry Glossary from the Sam Houston State University. 'http://www.shsu.edu/~chemistry/Glossary/glos.html'
CFCs are very stable chemical compounds, used in refrigerants, solvent, and (in the past in the U.S.) aerosols, which release chlorine (important) and fluorine (less important) into the upper atmosphere. In the stratosphere, CFCs are photolyzed (by incoming solar UV) to form carbon dioxide, CO2, hydrogen fluoride, HF, and ultimately (after multiple UV absorption events) chlorine radicals. These chlorine species are crucial in the destruction of the ozone layer over Antarctica and probably elsewhere (see chlorine). [Environmental Science and Technology; v 28; pages 1619-1622; 1994.]

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a by-product of biological activity of a symbiotic bacteria living in leguminous plant roots. This is a principal greenhouse gas that absorbs in the infrared wavelength region and unfortunately falls in an IR 'window' between IR absorbing features of water and carbon dioxide (a characteristic of all the 'trace' greenhouse gases with significant radiative forcing). It is also laughing gas used by medicine as a gentle general anesthetic. [Nature;v335;528-529;1988] [Atmospheric sulfur and nitrogen oxides;George Hidy;p13;1986;Academic press; New York]

METHYL BROMIDE
[New York Times Aug. 16, 2003] [Baird, Colin. Environmental Chemistry. (1999) W.H. Freeman, New York.]
CH3Br, this halocarbon is released, to a degree, naturally from the oceans, but is more commonly released from its anthropogenic use as a soil fumigant or pesticide. Methyl bromide is persistent enough to reach the stratosphere where it photochemically decomposes to yield atomic bromine (radical) and proceeds to destroy stratospheric ozone in the same manner as the atomic chlorine radical. On an atom-for-atom basis, stratospheric bromine is more efficient at destroying ozone than is chlorine because the HBr reservoir species is more photochemically active than HCl; however, there is much less of hydrogen bromide in the stratosphere. Recent data suggest that since 1998 atmospheric concentrations have dropped 13% due the CH3Br use limitations mandated by the Montreal Protocol

The Palmer Index or the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is an index formulated by Palmer (1965) and compares the actual amount of precipitation received in an area during a specified period with the normal or average amountexpected during that same period. The PDSI is based on a procedure of hydrologic or water balance accounting by which excesses or deficiences in moisture are determined in relation to averageclimatic values.

DROUGHT FORECAST
http://drought.unl.edu/ http://www.droughtoutlook.com/
Drought is a protracted period of deficient precipitation resulting in extensive damage to crops, resulting in loss of yield. Lack of rainfall for an extended period of time can bring farmers and major metropolitan areas to their knees. It does not take very long; a few rain-free weeks spreads panic and shrivels crops. A drought forecast would be issued forone of the following: Meteorological - a measure of departure of precipitation from normal. Due to climatic differences what is considered a drought in one location may not be a drought in another location. Agricultural - refers to a situation when the amount of moisture in the soil nolonger meets the needs of a particular crop and can also affect livestock and other dry-land agricultural operations. Hydrological - occurs when surface and subsurface water supplies are below normal. Socioeconomic - refers to the situation that occurs when physical water shortage begins to affect people.

CHLORINE DIOXIDE
ClO2, a radical, undergoes photodecomposition in the stratosphere where the products of this reaction react with ozone. Since this is a photochemical reaction it only takes place while the sun is up. Experiments over Antarctica have shown a direct relation between polar ozone loss and the increase in halocarbon chemistry, which comes from anthropogenic sources. Scientist are currently looking at the molecular behavior of chlorine dioxide in the atmosphere in order to understand its role in depletion of ozone more thoroughly. [Simon, J. D. and Vaida, V.

POTENTIAL DENSITY
Measurement of water density taking water's compressibility intoaccount, provided no heat exchange of the water sample with itssurroundings. This is important because of the potential temperaturechange of water at varying levels of pressure. That is, under highpressure, water is warmer (less potentially dense) than that same sampleof water at low pressure (lower potential temperature and thus morepotentially dense).

CHLORINE NITRATE
ClONO2 - This is a stratospheric reservoir species for chlorine and nitrogen, two of the catalysts in the breakdown of ozone. It reacts with HCl at low temperatures on the surfaces of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs over Antarctica and possibly in the stratosphere over the Arctic). That normally slow reaction heterogeneously produces molecular chlorine and nitric acid. The former outgases from the PSC surface and is quickly photolyzed by 450 nm or shorter wavelength light to form chlorine radicals which rapidly catalyze the breakdown of ozone (see chlorine monoxide).

The BEST index was designed to be simple to calculate and to provide a long time period ENSO index for research purposes. Nino 3.4 has traditionally been used as a measure of ENSO strength in the tropical Pacific. However, it's use alone neglects explicit atmospheric processes. By adding the SOI or Southern Oscillation Index (the pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin), these processes are more directly included. In addition, older SST values are at least partially reconstructed and not explicitly measured. By including the SOI, which is better measured historically, the effect of biases in the SST data introduced by the reconstruction technique are reduced. A more detailed explanation how the index was created is available (http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/people/cathy.smith/best/details.html).

Ritz updated for 8.4.1 System Note=update Definition Old Value=Wind in the general atmospheric circulation, typified by a seasonal persistent wind direction and by a pronounced change in direction from one season to another. New Value=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.

FOREST COMPOSITION/VEGETATION STRUCTURE
Kimmins, J.P. 1997. Forest Ecology. Prentice Hall. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
Forest Composition refers to the tree species which make up the forest. Vegetation Structure refers to the vertical arrangement of canopy layers and plants of different life forms, or the horizontal variation in canopy closure and canopy layers, or both. Vegetation Structure also includes standing dead trees (snags) and decaying logs on the ground (coarse woody debris).
CONTINENTAL MARGINS
Alyn C. Duxbury, Alison B. Duxbury, and Keith A. Sverdrup. An Introduction to the World's Oceans. 6th edition. McGraw-Hill Higher Education, 2000.
The ocean floor from the shore of a continent to the abyssal plain. Thecontinent margin is the zone separating the continents from the deep-seabottom, usually subdivided into the continental shelf, slope, and rise. They are two basic types of continental margins: passive, or Atlantic, marginsand active, or Pacific, margins. Passive margins have little seismic orvolcanic activity and form when continents are rifted apart, creating a newocean basin between them. Active margins are tectonically active and are mostoften associated with plate convergence and subduction.

A characterization of the density of particles located at a given point inphase space (a combination of either velocity or position coordinates) at a given time. The velocity-spacedistribution function gives the number of particles with a particular velocity;the position-space distribution function is synonymous with the particledensity in position-space. Different combinations of position and spatialcoordinates are useful in different problems.

http://www.oceaninn.com/guides/cnidarians.htm http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/cnidaria/cnidaria.html
The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word 'cnidos', which means stingingnettle (i.e. nematocysts). This phylum contains thousands of living speciesworldwide. These creatures are radially symmetrical. There are four majorgroups of cnidarians: 1) Anthozoa, which includes true corals, anemones, and sea pens; 2) Cubozoa, the amazing box jellies with complex eyes and potent toxins; 3) Hydrozoa, the most diverse group with siphonophores, hydroids, fire corals,and many medusae; and 4) Scyphozoa, the true jellyfish.

SPONGES
Sponges are multicellular organisms with no discrete tissues and organsbut with a skeleton composed of collagen (with or without mineralelements), and a tubular water filtration system driven by specializeduniflagellate cells. They have a free living sessile habit and are mainlymarine at all depths and latitudes but some occur in freshwater.

CARBONYL SULFIDE
COS, a gas that is very stable and unreactive in the troposphere, but, it is thought, photolyzes to form carbon monoxide, CO, and sulfur, S, in the stratosphere. Through stratospheric chemical reactions, the sulfur atoms are converted to SO2 and H2SO4 which form sulfate aerosol, cloud condensation nuclei, but which eventually settles into the troposphere and reacts to form sulfuric acid, a component in acid rain. The major biospheric sources of COS are thought to be biological.

Strong sea surface temperature (SST) tripole events, which are defined by empirical orthogonal function of winter-mean interannual North Atlantic SST anomalies, are primarily induced by NAO in early winter and peak in January. In late winter, the persistent SST tripole exerts active feedback on atmosphere through diabatic heat and transient eddy forcing. The resulting atmospheric circulation anomalies exhibit an almost reversed NAO pattern in February, which forms a wavetrain originating above the Gulf Stream and propagating to the Middle East and weakens the former SST tripole.

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index is often defined as the difference of sea-level pressure between 2 stations situated close to the 'centres of action' over Iceland and the Azores. Stykkisholmur (Iceland) is invariably used as the northern station, whereas either; Ponta Delgada (Azores) Lisbon (Portugal) Gibraltar are used as the southern station. Strong positive phases of the NAO tend to be associated with above-normal temperatures in the eastern United States and across northern Europe and below-normal temperatures in Greenland and oftentimes across southern Europe and the Middle East. They are also associated with above-normal precipitation over northern Europe and Scandinavia and below-normal precipitation over southern and central Europe. Opposite patterns of temperature and precipitation anomalies are typically observed during strong negative phases of the NAO. During particularly prolonged periods dominated by one particular phase of the NAO, abnormal height and temperature patterns are also often seen extending well into central Russia and north-central Siberia.

The MEI is a leading indicator for the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon and is calculated as the first unrotated Principal Component of six observed variables over the tropical Pacific Ocean. These six variables are: sea level pressure, zonal and meridional components of the surface wind, sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, and total cloudiness fraction of the sky. The MEI is computed for each of twelve sliding bimonthly seasons (Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb,..., Nov/Dec).

The Niño 3 index is an average of the sea surface temperatures in the region 150 degrees West - 90 degrees West (longitude) and 5 degrees North to 5 degrees South (latitude). When the index is positive (red) then waters are warmer than normal and when the index is negative (blue) then waters are cooler than normal. El Niños occur when the water is much warmer than normal for a sustained period of time. For example, El Niños occured in 1982-83, 1986-87 and 1997-98

SEA SURFACE FOUNDATION TEMPERATURE

The sea surface foundation temperature is the water temperature that is not influenced by a thermally stratified layer of diurnal temperature variability (either by daytime warming or nocturnal cooling). The foundation temperature is named to indicate that it is the temperature from which the growth of the diurnal thermocline develops each day, noting that on some occasions with a deep mixed layer there is no clear foundation temperature in the surface layer. In general, sea surface foundation temperature will be similar to a night time minimum or pre-dawn value at depths of between approximately 1 and 5 meters. In the absence of any diurnal signal, the foundation temperature is considered equivalent to the quantity with standard name sea_surface_subskin_temperature. The sea surface foundation temperature defines a level in the upper water column that varies in depth, space, and time depending on the local balance between thermal stratification and turbulent energy and is expected to change slowly over the course of a day. If possible, a data variable with the standard name sea_surface_foundation_temperature should be used with a scalar vertical coordinate variable to specify the depth of the foundation level. Sea surface foundation temperature is measured at the base of the diurnal thermocline or as close to the water surface as possible in the absence of thermal stratification. Only in situ contact thermometry is able to measure the sea surface foundation temperature. Analysis procedures must be used to estimate sea surface foundation temperature value from radiometric satellite measurements of the quantities with standard names sea_surface_skin_temperature and sea_surface_subskin_temperature. Sea surface foundation temperature provides a connection with the historical concept of a 'bulk' sea surface temperature considered representative of the oceanic mixed layer temperature that is typically represented by any sea temperature measurement within the upper ocean over a depth range of 1 to approximately 20 meters. The general term, 'bulk' sea surface temperature, has the standard name sea_surface_temperature with no associated vertical coordinate axis. Sea surface foundation temperature provides a more precise, well defined quantity than 'bulk' sea surface temperature and, consequently, is more representative of the mixed layer temperature. The temperature of sea water at a particular depth (other than the foundation level) should be reported using the standard name sea_water_temperature and, wherever possible, supplying a vertical coordinate axis or scalar coordinate variable.

The sea surface skin temperature is the temperature measured by an infrared radiometer typically operating at wavelengths in the range 3.7 - 12 micrometers. It represents the temperature within the conductive diffusion-dominated sub-layer at a depth of approximately 10 - 20 micrometers below the air-sea interface. Measurements of this quantity are subject to a large potential diurnal cycle including cool skin layer effects (especially at night under clear skies and low wind speed conditions) and warm layer effects in the daytime.

The Common Sense Climate Index (Hansen et al. 1998) is a simple measure of the degree (if any) to which practical climate change is occurring. The index is a composite of several everyday climate indicators. It is expected to have positive values when warming occurs and negative values for cooling. If the Index reaches and consistently maintains a value of 1 or more, the climate change should be noticeable to most people who have lived at that location for a few decades.

OCEAN GENERAL CIRCULATION MODELS (OGCM)/REGIONAL OCEAN MODELS
An OGCM is the ocean counterpart of an Atmosphere general circulation model(AGCM); it is a three-dimensional representation of the ocean and sea ice.OGCMs are useful by themselves for studying ocean circulation, interiorprocesses and variability, but they depend on being supplied with data aboutsurface air temperature and other atmospheric properties. For a list of some Ocean Circulation models, seehttp://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/ocean_models.html http://www.ocean-modeling.org/

Reforestation is the replanting of trees in forests where the trees havebeen cut down. Reforestation sometimes is undertaken in an effort toreduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by restoring forests, which arecarbon sinks.
COUPLED CLIMATE MODELS
Coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) are the mostcomplex models in use, consisting of an Atmosphere general circulation model(AGCM) coupled to an Ocean general circulation models (OGCM). With the additionof other components (such as a sea ice model or a model for evapotranspirationover land), the AOGCM becomes the basis for a full climate model. Some recent models include the biosphere, carbon cycle and atmosphericchemistry as well. AOGCMs can be used for the prediction and rate of change offuture climate. They are also used to study the variability and physicalprocesses of the coupled climate system. Global climate models typically have aresolution of a few hundred kilometres. Climate projections from the HadleyCentre make use of the HadCM2 AOGCM, developed in 1994, and its successorHadCM3 AOGCM, developed in 1998. Greenhouse-gas experiments with AOGCMs haveusually been driven by specifying atmospheric concentrations of the gases, butif a carbon cycle model is included, the AOGCM can predict changes in carbondioxide concentration, given the emissions of carbon dioxide into theatmosphere. Similarly, an AOGCM coupled to an atmospheric chemistry model isable to predict the changes in concentration of other atmospheric constituentsin response to climate change and to the changing emissions of various gases.Further information is available on: some aspects of ocean simulation in HadCM3(thermohaline circulation, ventilation, vertical mixing), decadal variabilityin the ocean of HadCM3. Recently a global coupled climate model with an eddy-permitting oceanresolution has been developed at the Hadley Centre, in order to betterrepresent important oceanic processes.

HCFCs, with one or more hydrogen-carbon bonds are slated to replace CFCs in most of the current applications. HCFCs are more unstable and subject to hydroxyl radical and ozone attack early in their gas phase career in the atmosphere. Therefore, their atmospheric lifetime is projected to be shorter and their chance of reaching the stratosphere decreased. [Spectator; v 272; p 9-11; 1994][New Scientist; v 141; p 6-7; 1994.]
HYDROFLUOROCARBONS
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ozone Depletion Glossary at 'http://www.epa.gov/ozone/defns.html'
The HFCs are a class of replacements for CFCs. Because they do not contain chlorine or bromine, they do not deplete the ozone layer. All HFCs have an ozone depletion potential of 0.

National Library of Medicine, https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Deuterium-oxide
Deuterium Oxide is a stable, non-radioactive isotopic form of water, containing 2 atoms of deuterium (D) and one atom of oxygen (2D2O), with DNA-labeling activity. Upon ingestion of deuterium oxide, 2H is incorporated into the deoxyribose moiety of DNA of newly divided cells. Rapidly dividing cells, as in the case of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), can be labeled with deuterium oxide and measured using gas chromatography and/or mass spectrometry.

Molecular hydrogen H2 is an attractive candidate as future energy carrier because combustion of H2 produces H2 O only. In addition to saving the CO2 emissions (if the H2 is formed from carbon-free energy sources), also the massive energy-related emissions of other compounds like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and soot could be drastically reduced, leading to improvements in air quality (Schultz et al., 2003). Nevertheless, unavoidable leakage in the production, distribution, storage and consumption of H2 could drastically alter the mixing ratio of H2 in the atmosphere. Although it is not a greenhouse gas itself, H2 affects the atmospheric lifetime of the greenhouse gas methane and many other species via its reaction with the hydroxyl (OH) radical (Schultz et al.,2003). In addition, H2 is an important source for stratospheric water vapor, which provides the substrate for polar stratospheric clouds that play a key role in the formation of the stratospheric polar ozone hole. Therefore, increasing levels of H2 in the atmosphere will counteract the predicted recovery of the ozone hole (Tromp et al., 2003; Warwick et al.,2004; Feck et al., 2008).

Glacio-hydrological models (GHMs) allow us to develop an understanding of how future climate change will affect river flow regimes in glaciated watersheds. A variety of simplified GHM structures and parameterisations exist, yet the performance of these are rarely quantified at the process level or with metrics beyond global summary statistics. A fuller understanding of the deficiencies in competing model structures and parameterisations and the ability of models to simulate physical processes require performance metrics utilising the full range of uncertainty information within input observations. Here, the glacio-hydrological characteristics of the Virkisá River basin in southern Iceland are characterised using 33 signatures derived from observations of ice melt, snow coverage and river discharge. The uncertainty of each set of observations is harnessed to define the limits of acceptability (LOA), a set of criteria used to objectively evaluate the acceptability of different GHM structures and parameterisations. This framework is used to compare and diagnose deficiencies in three melt and three run-off-routing model structures. Increased model complexity is shown to improve acceptability when evaluated against specific signatures but does not always result in better consistency across all signatures, emphasising the difficulty in appropriate model selection and the need for multi-model prediction approaches to account for model selection uncertainty. Melt and run-off-routing structures demonstrate a hierarchy of influence on river discharge signatures with melt model structure having the most influence on discharge hydrograph seasonality and run-off-routing structure on shorter-timescale discharge events. None of the tested GHM structural configurations returned acceptable simulations across the full population of signatures. The framework outlined here provides a comprehensive and rigorous assessment tool for evaluating the acceptability of different GHM process hypotheses. Future melt and run-off model forecasts should seek to diagnose structural model deficiencies and evaluate diagnostic signatures of system behaviour using a LOA framework.

CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MODELS
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Climate Change Impact Assessment Models examine and predict the vulnerabilities of human populations to future climate change, including associated sea-level rise and changes in the frequency and intensity of climate extremes such as floods, droughts, heat waves and windstorms, and taking into account potential impacts on water resources, agriculture and food security, human health, coastal and other types of settlements, and economic activities. These models can be used to assess the potential responses of natural environments and the wildlife that inhabit them to future climate change and identifies environments at particular risk.
