Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions

255
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.
Other key practices include keeping masonry units...

Radiation: Applications

1.6K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

What is Climate?

20.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Impact: Problem Solving

393
In an experiment conducted during a Mars mission, a rover propels a projectile with an initial velocity, and the projectile rebounds after colliding with the Martian surface. To ascertain the maximum height attained by the projectile after this collision, the known restitution coefficient and acceleration due to gravity are employed.
By designating the launch point as the origin and utilizing kinematic equations, the vertical component of the projectile's velocity at the point of impact is...

Summary

Mars's 2018 Global Dust Storm (GDS) caused unexpected global surface warming, not just cooling. This warming was driven by complex regional temperature changes, particularly nightside warming in low thermal inertia areas.

Area of Science:

  • Planetary Science
  • Atmospheric Science
  • Climate Modeling

Background:

  • Mars experiences global dust storms (GDS) that significantly alter its atmospheric conditions.
  • Previous studies primarily focused on the cooling effects of dust storms due to solar absorption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of the 2018 Mars Global Dust Storm (GDS) on surface and near-surface air temperatures.
  • To analyze the spatial distribution and magnitude of temperature changes across the Martian surface.

Main Methods:

  • Assimilation of Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) observations.
  • Analysis of surface radiative flux, surface temperature, and air temperature data.
  • Comparison with previous dust storm events and simulation results.

Main Results:

  • The globally averaged surface temperature showed a warming of 0.9 K, contrary to expected cooling.
  • Significant spatial heterogeneity in temperature changes, with localized cooling up to 16 K and warming up to 19 K.
  • Net warming occurred in low thermal inertia regions due to enhanced longwave emission and scattering, leading to strong nightside warming that outweighed dayside cooling.
  • Reduced surface-air temperature gradients resulted in coupled temperature changes and local dayside air warming.

Conclusions:

  • The spatial structure of a GDS is critical in determining its global surface temperature effects.
  • Mars's 2018 GDS demonstrated a complex interplay between radiative forcing, thermal inertia, and atmospheric dynamics influencing surface temperatures.
  • Findings challenge simplified models of dust storm impacts, highlighting the importance of regional variations.
