Climate Change Solutions: Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Strategies To Reduce
Success stories, tools and resources on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
http://www.climatechangesolutions.com/

Extractions: This report, commissioned by the Climate Action Network Canada, identifies and quantifies federal government expenditure on Canada's oil and gas sector. It also investigates both federal and provincial support for oil sands developments. The study reveals increasing expenditure over the 1996 to 2002 period-a major concern in light of Canada's Kyoto commitment. This report provides a comprehensive survey of government policies and private sector initiatives to support and market green power (low-impact renewable electricity) that were active in Canada by the end of 2003. For each program, the report presents a brief description of the initiative, calculates its contribution to each jurisdiction's electricity production, and estimates the resulting reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants that cause smog and acid rain.

The FRAM Atlas The OCCAM project has developed several high resolution models of the World Ocean - including the Arctic Ocean and marginal seas such as the Mediterranean. Some early results from our highest resolution (1/12th degree) global model are available in poster form . The information on this page refers chiefly to our earlier, 1/4 and 1/8th degree global models. The project is being carried out by researchers at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton in collaboration with colleagues from the Universities of East Anglia and Edinburgh. A selection of animation sequences from the model are available for viewing (using quicktime and mpeg formats). Two 4 Mb Quicktime movies which show the global ocean surface temperature field can be downloaded. More detailed mpeg sequences, each covering a smaller area, may be selected via the OCCAM area selector . Features of special interest are : Data from the OCCAM model can be requested using the OCCAM data selector . This runs a JAVA applet which allows the user to request data from an area of interest. People using the facility should ensure that the current internet browser they are running will display JAVA applets. The system is currently under development so only a limited amount of data is available via this route.

http://www.acia.uaf.edu/

Extractions: An international project of the Arctic Council and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), to evaluate and synthesize knowledge on climate variability, climate change, and increased ultraviolet radiation and their consequences. The results of the assessment were released at the ACIA International Scientific Symposium held in Reykjavik, Iceland in November 2004. The Arctic Council is a high-level intergovernmental forum. The members are Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, the Russian Federation, Sweden, and the United States of America. IASC is a non-governmental organization that facilitates cooperation in all aspects of arctic research in all countries engaged in arctic research and in all areas of the arctic region. The ACIA Secretariat is located at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Funding for the Secretariat is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Prior to publication of the scientific report, the individual science chapters of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment will be pre-released on this web site as they are ready. The published chapters may differ slightly in presentation style and pagination from the pre-released chapters, but not in technical content. The publication date for the ACIA scientific report is estimated to be September 2005. Check this web site for updates.

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program - Orbital Variations And Milankovitch Theory
NOAA Paleoclimatology Program educational material concerning the Milankovitch theory, which explains changes in the seasons as a result of changes in the earth's orbit around the sun.
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov:80/paleo/milankovitch.html

Extractions: Astronomical Theory of Climate Change What is The Milankovitch Theory? The Milankovitch or astronomical theory of climate change is an explanation for changes in the seasons which result from changes in the earth's orbit around the sun. The theory is named for Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch, who calculated the slow changes in the earth's orbit by careful measurements of the position of the stars, and through equations using the gravitational pull of other planets and stars. He determined that the earth "wobbles" in its orbit. The earth's "tilt" is what causes seasons, and changes in the tilt of the earth change the strength of the seasons. The seasons can also be accentuated or modified by the eccentricity (degree of roundness) of the orbital path around the sun, and the precession effect, the position of the solstices in the annual orbit. What does The Milankovitch Theory say about future climate change? Orbital changes occur over thousands of years, and the climate system may also take thousands of years to respond to orbital forcing. Theory suggests that the primary driver of ice ages is the total summer radiation received in northern latitude zones where major ice sheets have formed in the past, near 65 degrees north. Past ice ages correlate well to 65N summer insolation (Imbrie 1982). Astronomical calculations show that 65N summer insolation should increase gradually over the next 25,000 years, and that no 65N summer insolation declines sufficient to cause an ice age are expected in the next 50,000 - 100,000 years (

http://met-www.cit.cornell.edu/other_rcc.html

Extractions: Climate problems tend to be regional in scale. That is, climate anomalies such as droughts, heat waves, and blizzards typically affect an area larger than one state but not the entire country at one time. The National Climatic Data Center's Regional Climate Centers Program was developed to meet local and regional needs for climate data, research-based information, and expertise. A nationwide network of six regional centers provides convenient and timely access to accurate and reliable climate information. These centers also monitor and report current climate conditions in the regions they serve. The expertise and data resources of the Regional Climate Centers are available to assist in interpreting present conditions, quantifying climate variability, and assessing the likelihood of extreme weather events that often produce major social, economic and environmental impacts in a region. Regional Climate Centers serve as a resource for state and local government agencies, businesses, public utilities, professionals, and private citizens. Climate data and information is essential in the planning and management of capital projects, settling insurance claims and legal disputes, and reducing risks associated with climate anomalies. Climate analyses can help in mitigating the effects of (or taking advantage of) climate variability in scheduling activities such as the transportation of materials and the production and marketing of seasonal products and services.
ClimUSA Project: Resolving The Dilemma Of Subway Airflow In Urban Climate
Research activities with a particular focus on air exchange in and out of the subway system.
http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/climusa/projny.html

Extractions: New York City needs a better understanding of how air mixes between subterranean, street-level and regional airflow. Important quality of life issues, including everyday pulmonary health and even occasional emergency conditions depend upon this understanding. Accordingly, an international team of urban climatologists is focused on this complex exchange of air. In this preliminary study, hypotheses are put forward, a method is developed and tested, data is charted and analyzed, and results are scrutinized for meaningful lessons. Initial results show the efficacy of our methodology and the urgency for an expanded study. Introduction and background This paper begins with basics because climatologists and engineers know little about subways as a component of urban climate. Understanding the ventilation of the subway system is important because dilution of stale, subway air is dependent on (1) the rate and (2) the volume of air exchanged with street-level air. Subterranean ventilation is a function of momentum (wind speed x vent size x duration) and divided into (1) passive (somewhat effective) and (2) active (less-than effective) mixing with street-level air, as distinguished below: Two major sub-components of subway station and tube ventilation:
