Despite cooler temperatures and ice-favoring conditions, long-term decline continues. This is a press release from NSIDC, which is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The paper examines the extent to which the developed countries are shouldering their responsibility for mitigating climate change. Developed countries have a responsibility to reduce the threat of climate change in two ways: (1) by reducing their own emissions and (2) by facilitating the mitigation efforts of developing countries by providing financial support.
This factsheet provides the information on the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder(AIRS), which advances climate research
and weather prediction into the 21st century. AIRS is one of six
instruments onboard Aqua, a satellite that is part of NASA
JPL Historian Erik Conway provides an overview of the sequence of events that lead to the link between human activity, carbon dioxide, and global warming. Conway also examines how the spaceborne instrument, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, has become part of the story.
This Thematic Research Summary on the environmental aspects of transport and
sustainable mobility aims to provide the reader with a synthesis of results of completed
European research projects related to that theme. It consists of two main parts. The first
part includes a brief overview of the scope of the theme and summarises the main policy
A NASA/university team has published the first global satellite maps of the key greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in Earth's mid-troposphere, an area about 8 kilometers, or 5 miles, above Earth. The team's study reveals new information on how carbon dioxide, which directly contributes to climate change, is distributed in Earth's atmosphere and moves around our world.
This brochure describes the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder.
AIRS enhances the quality of global meteorological observations which yields considerable economic benefits through more reliable climate prediction, improved weather forecasts, better understanding of the factors influencing air quality, and mitigation of the economic and human costs of natural hazards.
In 2008, agricultural commodity prices on world markets reached their highest levels in 30 years. In some cases, the nominal prices set new records. Some of the policy mistakes are seemingly not directly related to agriculture, but have had a profound impact on production choices, and on what kind of food is available, and to whom.
