Unit 4: Weather and Climate
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place, while climate describes conditions over 20-30 years. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases emitted by industry, vehicles, and aerosols trap heat from the sun in the atmosphere, increasing Earth's temperatures. Climate is influenced by latitude, altitude, and distance from the sea, affecting temperatures and precipitation amounts and patterns. Atmospheric pressure is measured in millibars or hectopascals using a barometer.
S3 GE Handout 1 - Weather Climate GW1
This document is an introduction to weather and climate written by Miss Lena Teo for her physical geography class. It defines weather and climate, with weather representing short-term atmospheric conditions and climate representing long-term weather patterns over 30 years. The document then explores various factors that influence temperature, relative humidity, cloud formation, rainfall, air pressure and wind systems at a location. These factors include latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, and cloud cover. Diagrams and figures are included to illustrate these concepts.
Unit 4 Weather and Climate
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions while climate describes conditions over 20-30 years. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases trap sunrays, increasing Earth's temperature. Climate elements include temperature, precipitation, wind, and pressure. Factors like latitude, altitude, and distance from the sea influence climate by affecting temperature and precipitation amounts and patterns. Atmospheric pressure is measured in millibars and influences weather types like high pressure (sunny) and low pressure (cloudy/wet).
1.5 Air Pressure_Ch10_L6
This document discusses various concepts related to air pressure and wind, including:
1. Different types of winds such as sea breezes and land breezes that are caused by differences in air temperature over land and water.
2. The Coriolis effect which causes winds to curve due to the rotation of the Earth, curving right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.
3. Isobars which are lines connecting places with equal air pressure on a weather map, and how differences in air pressure and temperature can cause winds.
Ch.19 Notes Mc Neely 2009
1. Air pressure is caused by the weight of air above exerting pressure in all directions, and differences in air pressure cause wind as air moves from high to low pressure areas.
2. Global wind patterns are caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes large scale rising and sinking of air and the formation of circulation cells.
3. Local winds like sea breezes and valley winds are caused by smaller scale differences in air pressure caused by uneven heating of land and water areas.
Lesson flow charts 2
Students will learn to read and create algorithm flowcharts and pseudocode. Key components of pseudocode include INPUT, OUTPUT, WHILE, FOR, REPEAT-UNTIL, and IF-THEN-ELSE to represent conditions and iterations. A flowchart uses shapes and arrows to visually depict an algorithm. The document provides an example of pseudocode that uses these components to calculate a sum up to a given limit.
Lesson flow charts 1
This document introduces different types of algorithms including sequences, selections, and iterations. Sequences present a list of instructions to follow in order. Selections use if/then/else statements to make choices or repeat instructions conditionally. There are two types of iterations: count-controlled loops that repeat a set number of times, and condition-controlled loops that repeat until a condition is met. Common iteration structures include for, while, do while, and repeat until loops. The document provides examples of each type of algorithm structure.

Lesson4.9 d u4l3 hierarchy of open protocols
This document explains the hierarchy of protocols that manages the complexity of the internet. It discusses how there are multiple layers of abstraction, with the highest being the application layer which turns binary into visible content through protocols like HTTP and DNS. Lower layers include the transport layer which manages packet transmission through protocols like TCP and UDP, the internet layer which handles routing through IP addresses, and the link layer which connects hardware through technologies like Ethernet and WiFi. The use of open standards across these layers allows for widespread interoperability between different devices and networks on the internet.
Lesson4.9 c u4l3 tcp (transmission control protocol)
The document discusses how TCP guarantees reliable transmission of data over the internet. It explains that TCP breaks messages into packets and tracks which packets are received successfully, resending any lost packets and assembling the data in the right order. This allows communication to work reliably even though the underlying internet protocol (IP) is sometimes unreliable and packets can get lost. The document also mentions how TCP includes additional header information with each packet to help the receiver reconstruct the original message properly.
Lesson4.9 b u4l3 ip addresses
The document discusses how IP addresses and routers allow devices to connect and communicate over the Internet. It explains that the Internet is a network of networks connected at routers. Each device requires a unique IP address, and routers use IP addresses to route traffic between subnetworks. While devices have unique IP addresses, most computers share a single public IP address using a router at home or work.
Lesson4.9 a u4l2 html
This document provides instructions for students to write HTML code. It explains that HTML is used to control the layout and style of web pages, whereas other languages like JavaScript allow for programming. The fundamental structure of an HTML page is presented. Students are asked to experiment with HTML tags to add headings and paragraphs to a web page. They also learn how to view the source code of existing web pages and identify common HTML commands. Further exploration of CSS and JavaScript is suggested.
Lesson4.8 u4 l2 address hierarchy
The document describes how the Internet uses hierarchical addressing systems of domain names and IP addresses. Domain names, like snap.berkeley.edu, are used by people to visit websites and are translated behind the scenes to IP addresses like 128.32.189.18 by computers to locate and send data. Both domain names and IP addresses are arranged hierarchically from the broadest category at the top to more specific subcategories below. The domain name system (DNS) simplifies finding computers by domain name by distributing requests for IP addresses across domain name servers.
Lesson4.7 u4 l2 network redundancy
The document discusses network redundancy and how it makes the internet reliable. It explains that the internet has many redundant connections between physical systems, so even if part of the network fails, information can still reach its destination through alternative routes. This redundancy increases the internet's fault tolerance and allows it to scale up as more devices and users join the network. The document also contains learning objectives, essential knowledge, and questions about a network diagram.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
