ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

2. Why we need ERP
Seasonal rainfall anomalies are nearly homogeneous over Indian region during extreme
monsoon years (droughts/floods).
But, mostly (~70%) monsoon years are normal and during normal years the rainfall
anomalies are inhomogeneous over the country, contributing to large degree of spatial
variability !!!
Adding to this is the variability of rainfall on temporal scales.............
Drought (2002) Flood (1961) Normal (1998)
Seasonal JJAS

years
Drought (2002) Flood (1961) Normal (1998)
Although the prediction of a ‘normal’ all India
rainfall may have a comfort factor, it may not be
useful for agricultural planning.
Therefore, in addition to the seasonal mean All
India rainfall, we need to predict some aspects of
monsoon 3-4 weeks in advance on a relatively
smaller spatial scale that will be useful for
farmers.

Composite Rainfall anomalies in different MISO phases
Predictability of MISO provides hope for extended range prediction:
5. Statistical Extended Range Prediction: The start of a
New ERA
• As seasonal prediction has limited applicability for short
term planning, the extended range prediction beyond
weather scale started growing prominence.
• The temporal evolution of atmospheric variables may be
considered as a continuous process which can have a
mixing of processes arising from multiple scales of motion
and some inherent chaotic component.
• The goal is to separate the scale motions of our interest
(signal) from other scales and the chaotic part (noise).
• The larger the signal to noise ratio captured by a particular
statistical method for a particular variable, the better the
method of prediction.
6. Different methods of Statistical Extended Range
Prediction
Prediction of ISO :
• Based on Principal Oscillation Pattern (POP): Von Storch and Xu
(1990), Clim. Dyn
• based on Singular Vector Decomposition: Waliser et al., 1999. J.
Clim.
• Based on EOF only : Lo and Hendon, 2000, MWR
• Based on EOF and Multiple-regression: Jones et al., 2004
• Based on EOF and Analog techniques: Xavier and Goswami.,
2007, MWR
• Based on Self-Organizing Map and Analogues: Chattopadhyay,
Sahai and Goswami., 2008, JAS.
7. Early Developments FOR Extended Range
Prediction over Indian Subcontinents
• Initial Gain was realized for flood forecasting .
A study by Webster et al., 2004, BAMS
(Limitation: End Point Problem)
• Goswami et al., 2007 used a EOF based
analogue method for prediction of OLR
(Limitation: at times OLR and Rainfall mismatch; linear
method)

15. Zonal wind at 1000 hPa from (a) Analysis,
(b) Perturbed initial condition and (c)
Perturbation.
Development of Perturbation Technique
Each ensemble member is generated by slightly
perturbing the initial atmospheric conditions
with a random matrix (random number at each
grid point) generated from a random seed.
Fraction of the 24 hour tendency of different
model variables are added to or subtracted from
the unperturbed analysis with random
perturbation between -1 and +1 times the 24
hour tendency so that the perturbation follow
Gaussian distribution.
The perturbed IC,
X´x,y,z,t = Xx,y,z,t – n [r ΔXx,y,z,t]
where, ΔX = Xx,y,z,t – Xx,y,z,t-1 ; r -> taken from a
random matrix and lies between -1 and +1; n ->
tuning factor such that 0≤n≤1
We perturb the wind, temperature and moisture
fields and the amplitude of perturbation for all
variables are scaled according to the magnitude
of each variable at a given vertical level.

and 11 ensembles of CFS382.
Hence, total 43 ensemble members were
produced independently from 3 variants of
CFS model to generate the CGEPS and
forecast consensus is done by making simple
average among the members.

23. 0531: Low Pressure System (LPS) over southern
tip of peninsula is likely to intensify and move
towards Oman coast. This system may dissipate
around 11th June and till then the monsoon
activity will be weaker than normal over India.
0725: It was forecasted that Monsoon activity
will be normal and there is a possibility that it
may enter in the break phase around 10th Aug.
0620: There will be a large scale reduction
of rainfall during 1st half of July.
0710: Large scale monsoon activity is
expected to increase by the end of July
resulting in revival of monsoon.
0903: A fresh spell of good rainfall will propagate
from Indian ocean to southern peninsula around 20th
September and may reach central India around 25th
September.
0605: It is likely that by 17th June the offshore
trough along the west coast will be established
and within one week after that, monsoon may
reach central India as a feeble current.
Prediction of 2015 SW monsoon season
26. MOK forecast of 2014 based on IC: 0516
Key points from the forecast:
A low pressure system might form over Bay of
Bengal around 25 May 2014 and move
northwards.
South-west monsoon of 2014 would make its
onset over Kerala on 04 June.
However, the strengthening and progression of
the monsoon might be slackened till 15 June due
to the presence of a low-level anticyclonic
circulation over central India. Afterwards,
monsoon might strengthen and progress.
