Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the climatological and meteorological aspects of the January 1998 ice storm in Quebec, which not only caused loss of life but also severely disrupted or paralyzed public services such as electricity, transport, and food supplies. Sections 1 and 2 cover the causes of the types of precipitation which occurred during the storm and the processes & local features that facilitate the formation of freezing precipitation in Quebec. Section 3 reviews the meteorological situation during the week of January 4-10 and its impact on the development of the ice storm. Section 4 describes the observation networks and techniques for measuring and monitoring freezing precipitation. Section 5 describes the development of the storm over January 4-10 in terms of changes in temperature and precipitation, and section 6 analyzes the types and quantities of precipitation during the storm. Section 7 covers the variations in wind speed and direction during the storm. The climatic significance of the storm in terms of the occurrence, duration, and quantity of precipitation is discussed in chapter 8, with reference to other episodes of freezing precipitation. The final section evaluates the involvement of El Nino and of higher levels of greenhouse gases in the occurrence of significant weather events such as the ice storm.

Book Synopsis Arctic Climate Impact Assessment - Scientific Report by : Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
Download or read book Arctic Climate Impact Assessment - Scientific Report written by Arctic Climate Impact Assessment and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major physical, ecological, social, and economic changes, many of which have already begun. Changes in arctic climate will also affect the rest of the world through increased global warming and rising sea levels. Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities. The report has been thoroughly researched, is fully referenced, and provides the first comprehensive evaluation of arctic climate change, changes in ultraviolet radiation and their impacts for the region and for the world. It is illustrated in full color throughout. The results provided the scientific foundations for the ACIA synthesis report - Impacts of a Warming Arctic - published by Cambridge University Press in 2004.
Book Synopsis National Cross-cutting Issues Volume by : Nicola Mayer
Download or read book National Cross-cutting Issues Volume written by Nicola Mayer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains eight papers on cross-cutting national issues related to global climate change. The first synthesizes current knowledge on two categories of costs associated with climate change: the costs of adapting to those changes that are not avoided by mitigation, and the costs of the residual impacts after adaptation. The second paper discusses the impact of climate change on natural hazards, adaptation, and their costs. This is followed by presentation of the case for integrated assessments of air issues: climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, smog, suspended particulates, and hazardous air pollutants. The fourth paper examines the effect of climate change outside Canada on Canadian interests, specifically in the areas of international trade, food and military security, and refugees. Paper five reviews the literature on domestic flows of goods and services in Canada as related to climate change. The sixth paper reviews patterns of changing climate and effects of climate change on landscapes, as driven by shifting ranges and ecozones, hydrological changes, permafrost melting, and rising sea levels. Paper seven explores the consequences of climate change and sustainable development remaining as separate discourses, noting the need for climate change and sustainable development to be represented in a more explicit manner in each other's research agendas. The final paper focuses on the land-based economy of Canada's northern indigenous peoples and how climate change may effect them.
