    115. 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
    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 (

    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.

    Resolving the dilemma of subway airflow in urban climate.

    Dieses Dokument ist auch in deutsch erhältlich.
    Abstract
    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:
