Lecture 3 Architecture and Climate Elements - Sun breakers design.pdfitsam22202
This document discusses how climate and weather impact building design through solar radiation, temperature, wind, and other climatic factors. It defines weather and climate, then outlines seven main climatic factors: solar radiation, ambient temperature, air humidity, precipitation, wind, sky condition, and vegetation. Solar radiation is the most important factor for determining temperature. The document then explains how these climatic factors should inform building design elements like orientation, shading devices, and indoor space allocation. It provides examples of using sun path diagrams to calculate shading angles and design appropriate horizontal and vertical sun breaks or shades for different building facades. Understanding local climatic conditions is crucial for architectural design that improves occupant comfort.
The document discusses different types of weather systems and atmospheric phenomena. It defines various terms like air mass, fronts, midlatitude cyclones, and anticyclones. It describes the characteristics and movement of these weather systems. Midlatitude cyclones are large low pressure systems that move with the westerlies and are responsible for day-to-day weather changes in many populated regions. Anticyclones are high pressure systems that also move with the westerlies but are prone to stagnation over regions.
The document discusses equations of motion used in weather forecasting and climate change studies. It begins with an introduction to geophysical fluid dynamics and the distinguishing effects of rotation and stratification. It then outlines the basic equations of motion, including conservation of momentum, mass, energy, and state. It describes how these equations are solved on grids using numerical models. It discusses the challenges of modeling processes at different spatial scales from synoptic to urban. It also addresses challenges in tropical weather prediction and how dynamical prediction of weather over South Asia has improved.

The IES 2013 Burntwood Lecture given by Julia Slingo from the Met Office on the topic: Why Climate Models are the greatest feat of modern science. #BWL13
This is the paper for our final project in our Numerical Weather Prediction class. For this project, we analyzed model output from a Nested Regional Climate Model (NRCM), which is an adaptation of the Advanced Research WRF (ARW). The model output variables analyzed were outgoing long wave radiation (OLR) and precipitation (convective plus non-convective). The goal of this research project was to determine why errors were occurring in the model, and what could be done to correct them. In this paper, we provide some insight into why these errors occurred, particularly errors within the model which equaled or surpassed the overall mean climate error.
About air masses and it's major types with necessary image .Related course Climatology.Air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air
masses cover mant thousands of miles and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them.
They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions.
Cold air masses are termed polar or artic,while warmet air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and
superior air masses are dry while martime and monsoon air masses are moist.Weather fronts separate air
masses with different density (temperature or moisture) characteristics.An air mass may be defined as a large body of air whose physical properties especially temperature,

According to A.N. Strahler and A.H. strahler (1978)"a body of air in which the upward gradients of
temperature and moisture are fairly uniform over a large area is known as an air mass".
Any classification of air masses must consider the fact that all of their weather characteristics (mainly
temperature, humidity and lapse rate) are properly represented and incorporated. Thus the weather
conditions of air masses at their source regions and thermodynamic and mechanical modifications
introduced in them during their journey away from their respective source regions must be taken into
definite categories.
There are two approaches to the classification of air masses.
The document summarizes various climate elements and factors that influence local weather and climate. It discusses temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, topography, wind, latitude, altitude, proximity to oceans, and Earth's tilt. These elements and factors interact to determine the long-term state of the atmosphere and influence weather conditions in a particular region. Temperature, for example, controls other elements like precipitation and humidity levels. Latitude, altitude, and distance from oceans also impact climate by affecting temperature and atmospheric circulation patterns.

The document summarizes various climate elements and factors that influence local weather and climate. It discusses temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, topography, wind, latitude, altitude, proximity to oceans, and Earth's tilt. These elements and factors interact to determine the long-term state of the atmosphere and influence weather conditions in a particular region. Temperature, for example, controls other elements like precipitation and humidity levels. Latitude, altitude, and distance from oceans also impact climate by affecting temperature and atmospheric circulation patterns.
Midlatitude cyclones are large low pressure storm systems that form in the midlatitudes. They develop as warm and cold air masses converge, forming fronts where the air masses meet. As the cyclone moves eastward, the cold front typically advances faster than the storm itself and eventually catches up to the warm front. Meteograms are charts that plot changes in weather conditions over time and can clearly show the passing of fronts and associated changes in temperature, wind, precipitation and other conditions.
The document discusses various elements and factors that affect climate:
- The main climate elements discussed are temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, topography, and wind.
- Key climate factors include latitude, altitude, proximity to oceans, and Earth's axial tilt. Latitude affects temperature, with warmer climates near the equator. Altitude influences temperature, with colder conditions at higher elevations. Being near large bodies of water moderates temperatures. Earth's tilted axis causes seasons as the hemispheres rotate toward and away from the Sun.
This document discusses air masses and fronts. It defines an air mass as a large body of air with similar temperature and humidity that is named by its source region. Fronts are boundaries between different air masses and can be cold, warm, stationary, or occluded fronts. Cold fronts bring sudden drops in temperature and precipitation while warm fronts bring more gradual changes with rain or drizzle.
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.
This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about air masses and weather fronts:
1. A continental polar air mass is cooler and contains less moisture than a maritime tropical air mass.
2. A maritime polar air mass has cooler temperatures and more moisture compared to a maritime tropical air mass.
3. The questions ask about identifying air mass locations and weather front types based on maps and diagrams of weather systems.

4) Computer models like the GFS, NAM, and RUC provide forecast guidance out to days in advance but have limitations and require experience to interpret.
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.
This document provides an overview of general meteorology concepts and their application to weather forecasting. It discusses key topics like air masses, pressure systems, cloud formation, precipitation, and frontal systems. Regarding cloud formation, it explains that warm air rises and cools, causing water to condense into clouds. The document also outlines the three main cloud categories based on altitude - low, middle, and high clouds - and provides examples of cloud types in each category. It concludes with an explanation of how different air mass interactions like cold fronts and warm fronts influence weather changes at the surface.
This document provides an overview of general meteorology concepts and their application to weather forecasting. It discusses key topics like air masses, pressure systems, cloud formation, precipitation, and frontal systems. Regarding cloud formation, it explains that warm air rises as it is less dense, cools and condenses to form water droplets around condensation nuclei, eventually creating clouds. It describes the different types of clouds based on their heights. The document also outlines the formation process for rain through collision and coalescence of water droplets inside clouds. Finally, it defines cold and warm fronts, showing their typical structures and impacts on temperature and pressure patterns.
The document analyzes CMIP5 model simulations of the South American Monsoon System (SAMS). SAMS is characterized by seasonal reversal of winds and increased precipitation over the Amazon basin during the summer. The study evaluates how accurately CMIP5 models simulate past and present SAMS precipitation patterns compared to observational data. Some models capture the spatial distribution of rainfall better than others, but no single model performs best in terms of variability. Future work could examine external forcings on SAMS precipitation.
This document is a chapter from a textbook on earthquakes. It discusses several key topics:
- Earthquake magnitude is measured using the moment magnitude scale or older Richter scale, and is based on the amount of energy released. Intensity is measured using the Modified Mercalli scale and is based on observed effects.
- Seismographs are used to measure seismic waves and locate epicenters using the difference in arrival times of P and S waves between multiple stations.
- Earthquakes occur along faults due to the buildup and sudden release of elastic strain energy. Different fault types result in different types of ground movement.
- Seismic waves include P waves, S waves, and surface waves that cause different types
Climate change - environmental systems and change.Hunter Strike
1) The document discusses evidence of past climate change from various proxy records like tree rings, ice cores, fossils, and historical paintings. It also examines factors that can influence the climate like solar activity, volcanic eruptions, greenhouse gases, and human activities.
2) Climate models project further warming in the coming decades and centuries depending on greenhouse gas emission scenarios, but they have uncertainties regarding changes in extreme events and regional impacts.
3) The climate system is complex and influenced by both natural and human factors interacting across different timescales, making both past and future climate changes difficult to predict precisely.
This document provides an overview of weather and climate concepts. It discusses how weather is caused by differences in temperature and air pressure between locations. It also describes common weather phenomena and how weather is forecasted using various instruments and models. The document outlines different climate zones and variables that influence climate. It explains phenomena like El Niño and hurricanes and how climate change is impacting environments and societies.
The document discusses global patterns of climatic elements like solar energy and temperature. It explains that solar insolation is controlled by factors like sun angle, day length, cloud cover, and surface albedo. Land areas generally receive more solar energy than adjacent bodies of water. Horizontal temperature patterns are influenced by sun angle, land-sea contrasts, ocean currents, elevation, albedo effects, and atmospheric circulation. Isotherms on maps will shift equatorward over cold surfaces and poleward over warm surfaces.

Lecture 10 climate change projections, with particular reference to hong kongpolylsgiedx
Climate models are mathematical representations of the Earth's climate system based on physical principles. They are our primary tool for projecting future climate changes. Projections using climate models under different emission scenarios suggest that Hong Kong will experience increasing temperatures, more extreme heat days, heavier rainfall and rain events, rising sea levels, and increased risk of storm surge by the late 21st century. However, there are uncertainties in projections due to limitations in modeling the full climate system and uncertainties over future human activities and emissions.
The document discusses monitoring Earth's energy imbalance (EEI), which is the difference between the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and the amount radiated back to space. Positive EEI means future warming, while negative EEI means future cooling. It outlines several approaches to monitoring EEI, but notes challenges, and recommends sustained ocean observations from programs like Argo to improve EEI estimates over time. Combining multiple measurements in an optimal way holds promise for assessing climate change status and testing mitigation effectiveness.
The document provides background information on the COPE field campaign and the goals and instrumentation of the COPE-MED research project. The COPE campaign studied convective storms in southwest England through aircraft and ground-based radar observations. COPE-MED aims to investigate microphysical pathways and entrainment effects on precipitation formation. Key goals are to analyze cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration measurements from the campaign and examine droplet spectral characteristics during non-precipitating cloud penetrations.
This document discusses air masses and fronts. It defines air masses as large bodies of air with uniform temperature and humidity characteristics formed over flat, uniform source regions. It identifies the five main air mass categories and the principal air masses over eastern Africa. It then explains that fronts are boundaries between differing air masses and describes the four main front types - cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts and occluded fronts - and their characteristic weather patterns. It concludes by showing the symbols used to represent different fronts on weather maps.

Assignment Details A 12-year-old boy was caught in the act of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female acquaintance by the victim's 16-year-old brother, who had arrived home and observed the juveniles in the act. The 12-year-old juvenile suspect, in addition to sexually assaulting the victim, had beaten her with the heel of a shoe that was nearby. The victim was almost unconscious when the police arrived. Following the incident, the juvenile was arrested and detained by local police on the following charges: Attempted sexual assault of a minor Aggravated assault Minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage Unlawful possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) The juvenile suspect was a latchkey kid (a child who returns from school to an empty home) from a single-parent home. His mother works from 2 p.m.–11 p.m. Monday through Friday, so the juvenile is often alone for hours upon his return from school. After a preliminary examination, the juvenile suspect explained that the victim purchased the marijuana and the alcohol earlier that same day. The juvenile explained that the victim had invited him to her house because they had "been liking each other" for a long time. Further, the juvenile explained that the alcohol and drugs were in the home when he arrived. He said that he and the victim began by smoking marijuana and drinking beer before they began kissing and fondling one another. Next, according to the juvenile suspect, they started to have what he described as consensual sex. After a short while, they were interrupted by the victim's brother, who had come home from work. The victim’s brother then called the police to report the incident.

OCCUPATIONAL STRESS
SU MON KYAW-MYINT AND LYNDALL STRAZDINS
Abstract
In 1979, Tony McMichael co-authored a paper showing how occupational stress
not only affected mental health; it also exacerbated the effect of chemical and
physical hazards on respiratory and skin symptoms. This study was among
the first to place occupational stress within the same framework as chemical
and physical hazards. It also showed that stress and mental health faced
complex assessment challenges, but that these were similar to those faced by
the assessment of exposure to chemical and physical hazards, especially in
large-scale epidemiological studies.
More recently, occupational stress has been termed a ‘psychosocial hazard’ by
some jurisdictions in an attempt to place it into the existing occupational risk
management and risk assessment framework. However, progress has been slow
and regulation of occupational stress remains outside standard occupational
health and safety .

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Week 4
ES 101 Laboratory
1
Week 4 Lab Activities
Climate controls (looking at many climographs)
Contour lines (finding your way)
USGS Topo Maps (what they are, how to read them)
Topographic Profiles (looking at the ups and downs)
2
3. Climate Controls
Inspect numerous climographs to determine what causes
predictable patterns in temperature and precipitation for various
locations worldwide
Determining factors include
Latitude
Land and water
Geographic position and winds
Mountains and highlands
Ocean currents
Pressure and wind systems
Be able to identify a location given its climograph
3
Contour lines
Contour line is a type of isoline: it connects lines of equal
elevation above sea level
Useful for studying topography from a two-dimensional map;
also useful for studying landforms
Key terms
Contour interval: difference in elevation between 2 lines
Index contour: wider, darker line (every 4th or 5th line)
Map view vs. profile view (see page 100)
See rules on page 98
Can’t cross but can come close
Make a “V” pointing uphill when crossing a gully or valley
Closed contour line with hatch marks on inside is a depression
4
4. Topographic Maps
Large-scale maps showing elevations and shape of topography;
also called quadrangle maps
Include natural and human-made features
U.S. Geological Survey issues them, at many different map
scales
Map features
Latitude and longitude found at each corner of map
Names of adjacent quads (4 sides + 4 corners) shown
Scales given in bottom center
Declination arrow (magnetic north, true north, grid north)
Map symbols (e.g., benchmarks shown by BM)
5
Topographic profile
Look at topography from side rather from the top
Use paper to mark elevations on map, then transfer to graph;
use actual spacing of contours on map!
Vertical exaggeration: horizontal scale ÷ vertical scale

56. Homework #1 (Computation of Dow Jones Industrial Average)
1. Collect the names and closing share prices of the 30
companies in the DJIA from a recent WSJ (www.wsj.com) or
any other source (e.g., http://finance.yahoo.com). Compute the
value of the DJIA using the divisor reported in a recent WSJ
(Section - Market Digest). State the date and time you picked
for the data. Note down the value of the DJIA when you copied
the stock price data.
2. Compare the value you computed with the value of the DJIA
which you copied from the WSJ (or any other source) at the
time and day you used for the homework. Are the two values
same? Attach copy of the DJIA value for the date and time you
picked from WSJ or other publication so we I can verify. Copy
and paste or a snap shot of the page would suffice.
3. What is the weight given to each company price in the
computation of the DJIA value? Are they different?
4. Assume that the stock with the highest price has a four-for-
one split. Compute the value of the DJIA after the split. Is this
value different from the value before the split?
5. Determine the change in the value of the divisor as a result of
the stock split which was necessary to keep the value of the
DJIA same before and after the stock split.
NOTES:
1. Each student works with a different set of numbers (different
time and/or day chosen). Clearly indicate the date and time you
picked the data for. Stock prices change by the minute; so, no
57. two students should use the same set of numbers.
2. Multiple submissions of the same homework would be
considered cheating and be penalized.
3. Must use MS Excel for computations and text. Show all
computations using Excel functions. Computations should be
revealed once cursor is placed on the cell showing the result.
