FMI - FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Northern Lights The latter predictions are based on a spaceweather monitoring system either byground-based devices or satellites watching the space-weather conditions http://www.fmi.fi/faq/index_5.html
Extractions: There is two kind of Northern lights prediction: statistical and real-time ones. The former are based on a large amount of observations of Northern lights at different latitudes during several years. From these statistics we can say what is the probability of the occurrence of Northern lights during the course of year. According to the statistics compiled by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, four nights out of five are illuminated by Northern lights in Northern Lapland (Kilpisjärvi-Utsjoki area) providing that the sky is free enough from clouds. On the coast of the Arctic Ocean in North Norway (e.g. in Tromsö) one can see Northern lights almost every night. Even in South Finland, say Helsinki, one can see them but much more seldom; in Helsinki only one night out of 20. The latter predictions are based on a space-weather monitoring system either by ground-based devices or satellites watching the space-weather conditions around the Earth. When the monitoring devices (e.g., magnetometers or particle detectors in a satellite) show certain deviations from the normal situation, one can expect that a space weather storm is approaching in a few hours.

Extractions: that if conditions are just right, we can see the aurora borealis here in Minnesota? Although the northern lights are normally only visible at very high latitudes in places like Alaska and Canada, on extremely active days the auroral oval expands to more southern latitudes. The Space Physics Research Group at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis created this web site to share the beauty of the northern lights with you. This site features photographs of the aurora borealis taken in Minnesota by Professor John Winckler, as well as links to other aurora images on the WWW. We have also included information on space weather forecasts, and lists of resources essential for every aurora watcher. The Aurora Gallery features photographs of the auroral borealis taken by University of Minnesota Professor Emeritus John Winckler. Dr. Winckler received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1946 and is an expert in the field of space physics - the study of Earth's magnetosphere, the solar wind, and the aurora.

Extractions: Geostationary Operational Earth Satellite (GOES) (U) (U) The Geostationary Operational Earth Satellite (GOES) system is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) envionmental satellite program. By 2005, NOAA will have established a fully coordinated national civil operational environmental satellite system which will be the cornerstone of an international system. This cooperative, internationally coordinated, global environmental observation and information management system will provide an efficient and effective means for the continued collecting, processing, and disseminating the environmental data critical for U.S. environmental programs. (U) The GOES system is a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecast operations and is a key component of NOAA's National Weather Service operations and modernization program. Spacecraft and ground-based systems work together to accomplish the GOES mission of providing weather imagery and quantitative sounding data that form a continuous and reliable stream of environmental information used for weather forecasting and related services. (U) The new GOES I-M (I thru M series) represents the next generation of meteorological satellites and introduces two new features. The first feature, flexible scan, offers small-scale area imaging that lets meteorologists take pictures of local weather trouble spots. This allows them to improve short-term forecasts over local areas. The second feature, simultaneous and independent imaging and sounding, is designed to allow weather forecasters to use multiple measurements of weather phenomena to increase the accuracy of their forecasts.

Extractions: For additional quality assurance, the County retained an outside consulting firm to perform third-party review of the analytical data. The firm reviews sample results to ensure compliance with the plan as well as provides annual reports outlining any discrepancies noted during the ongoing review and any corrective actions that may have been taken. The County began its land-use monitoring program by investigating many potential sites for the location of a pilot monitoring station. Field technicians selected a bridge crossing that provided a uniform cross-sectional area to more easily develop a depth-versus-flow relationship. The contributing watershed, about 1.25 square miles in size, was exclusively single-family residential.

Space weather manifests itself through various physical phenomena such as enhanced intensity of hard radiation, increased strength of electric and magnetic fields and elevated magnitude of electric currents, to name only a few. A "magnetic storm", which may also be called "space storm", is a rather violent phase of space weather and is often caused by solar outbursts such as flares and coronal mass ejections. Solar outbursts create disturbances of the solar wind which may impact the Earth environment with a delay of a few days after their eruption from the Sun. Solar outbursts can be compared to volcano eruptions on Earth. They are fairly frequent during the maximum phase of the 11-year solar cycle when the sunspot number is high. During solar maximum geoeffective outbursts with subsequent magnetic storms can occur several times per month while they are observed only a few times per year during solar minimum. The most recent solar maximum occurred in the years 2001-2002 and the most recent minimum in the years 1994-1997.
Extractions: March 1, 2004 - ARS News - Tom Jackson has his eye on 2010. That's when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will use the Hydros satellite, scheduled for launch that year, exclusively to monitor daily soil moisture change around the globefor the first time in history. Daily soil moisture monitoring of Earth from space has long been the goal of hydrologist Jackson and his colleagues in the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and many other agencies. They're working closely with NASA to verify soil moisture data from several of its satellites in hopes that this information will one day feed into the models on which today's daily weather forecasts are already based. Jackson, who is with the ARS Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, explains that soil moisture change is part of the global water cycle and is the result of rain, evaporation, or snowmelt. This soil surfaceatmosphere interaction is similar to the better-known ocean surfaceatmosphere interactions that cause the El Niño and La Niña weather phenomena.

Forests being the main type of vegetation in Russia cover 45% of its territory which equals 22% of all the world forests. But according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (State of the World's Forest, 1999. (Rome: FAO, 1999). p. 135.) annual estimates for 1990-95 show a net forest loss of 112,600 square kilometers per year (equal to 33 soccer fields per minute!). It is important to emphasize that a big role in this loss play wildfires.

Extractions: (Redirected from Space race Titan II rockets launched U.S. spacecraft from the 1960s through the 1980s. The Space Race , an informal competition between the United States and the Soviet Union , lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975. It involved the parallel efforts by each of those countries to explore outer space with artificial satellites , to send humans into space, and to land people on the moon Though its roots lie in early rocket technology and in the international tensions following World War II , the Space Race effectively began after the Soviet launch of Sputnik 1 on 4 October . The term originated as an analogy to the arms race . The Space Race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the U.S. during the Cold War . Space technology became a particularly important arena in this conflict, both because of its military applications and due to the psychological benefit of raising morale.
