Current Precipitation News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Air monitoring helps anticipate possible ecosystem changes
When rain settles the atmosphere and brings air pollutants to the ground, it can have a lasting effect on ecosystems, sometimes hundreds of miles away, according to a Texas AgriLife Research agricultural engineer. (2008-06-26)
Greenland ice core analysis shows drastic climate change near end of last ice age
Information gleaned from a Greenland ice core by an international science team shows that two huge Northern Hemisphere temperature spikes prior to the close of the last ice age some 11,500 years ago were tied to fundamental shifts in atmospheric circulation. (2008-06-20)
Lower Midwest braces for flood onslaught
Residents of the central and southern Midwest are crossing their fingers, saying their prayers, planning evacuations, and in some cases filling sandbags in preparation for the excessive water ravishing communities in Iowa and Wisconsin. (2008-06-17)
Geoengineering could slow down the global water cycle
As fossil fuel emissions continue to climb, reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth would definitely have a cooling effect on surface temperatures. (2008-05-28)
NCAR Installs 76-Teraflop Supercomputer for Critical Research on Climate Change, Severe Weather
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has taken delivery of a new IBM supercomputer that will advance research into severe weather and the future of Earth's climate. The supercomputer, known as a Power 575 Hydro- Cluster, is the first in a highly energy-efficient class of machines to be shipped anywhere in the world. (2008-05-09)
Researcher works with European Space Agency to test moisture satellite
Europeans want to peek into our soil and see how dry we are. And an Iowa State University professor is eager to help, and even check their results. (2008-04-28)
Scientists debate the accuracy of Al Gore's documentary
There is no question that Al Gore's 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth is a powerful example of how scientific knowledge can be communicated to a lay audience. What is up for debate is whether it accurately presents the scientific argument that global warming is caused by human activities. (2008-04-15)
Geologist decries floodplain development
Midwesterners have to be wondering: Will April be the cruelest month? (2008-04-02)
Fatality Rates Increase with Repeal of Helmet Laws, MU Study Finds
Since 1975, more than 100,000 motorcycle riders in America have died in crashes. The majority of states required motorcycle helmets in 1975, but today, only 20 states have universal helmet laws that require all riders to wear helmets, 26 states have partial coverage laws (usually only for young riders), and four states have no helmet laws. (2008-04-01)
Uncovering the mechanisms of lightning varieties
The mechanism behind different types of lightning may now be understood, thanks to a combination of direct observation and computer modeling reported by a team of researchers from New Mexico Tech and Penn State. (2008-03-31)
