FAQ Organization FAQ Lightning and thunderstorm ... Contact us Northern lights Is it possible to predict the occurrence of Northern lights? How easy is it to predict Northern Lights? Where Northern Lights mostly occur? What is the benefit and harm of Northern Lights? Is it possible to predict the occurrence of Northern lights? 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.

Geostationary Operational Earth Satellite (GOES) (U) Overview (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.

Tips to Improve Wet-Weather Monitoring By Brian Behrens, James H. Riddle, III, PE, and Jason Gillespie (client) As featured in the September 2004 issue of APWA Reporter Developing a Quality Assurance Project Plan Greenville County, a community of about 800 square miles in size and located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, developed a formal Quality Assurance Project Plan before beginning any monitoring work. The comprehensive plan includes: 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. Selecting an Appropriate Location for Monitoring Equipment 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.

58. Monitoring Earth's Water Cycle From Space To Improve Weather Forecasting Daily soil moisture monitoring of Earth from space has long been the goal of monitoring to become routine for regional and world weather forecasting, http://www.thesoydailyclub.com/Farm&Market/ARSHydrology03022004.asp

www.thesoydaily.com © 2000 - 2005 The Soy Daily™ PAGE ONE - (HOME) ARCHIVES ADVERTISE NEW! ... TELL A FRIEND WWW The Soy Daily™ How Wet's Our Planet? Scientists want to be able to measure soil moisture everywhere, every day! Hydrologist Tom Jackson and several of the Alabama SMEX03 (Soil Moisture Experiment 2003) ground crew collect an array of ground observations at a permanent NRCS Soil Climate Analysis Network site. 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 globe—for 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 surface—atmosphere interaction is similar to the better-known ocean surface—atmosphere interactions that cause the El Niño and La Niña weather phenomena.

Wildfires monitoring from space – urgency of problem and ways for solution Forests cover more than 3.5 billions hectares of territory of the Earth that corresponds to about 27% of its square. 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.

Space Race From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Space race For other uses, see Space Race (disambiguation) 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.
