Threshold sea surface temperature for hurricanes and tropical thunderstorms is rising
ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2010) — Scientists have long known that atmospheric convection in the form of hurricanes and tropical ocean thunderstorms tends to occur when sea surface temperature rises above a threshold. The critical question is, how do rising ocean temperatures with global warming affect this threshold? If the threshold does not rise, it could … Continue reading
Ozone hole affects upper-atmosphere temperature and circulation
ScienceDaily (Dec. 4, 2010) — Observations have shown differences in altitude and brightness between polar mesospheric clouds (clouds made of ice crystals in the upper mesosphere) in the Northern Hemisphere and those in the Southern Hemisphere.Various mechanisms have been suggested to explain the differences; a new study shows that the ozone hole in the stratosphere … Continue reading
May 2010 global temperature is warmest on record; Spring and January-May also post record breaking temps
ScienceDaily (June 17, 2010) The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for May, March-May (Northern Hemisphere spring-Southern Hemisphere autumn), and the period January-May according to NOAA. Worldwide average land surface temperature for May and March-May was the warmest on record while the global ocean surface temperatures for both … Continue reading
