- What is the greenhouse effect? Why is it a matter of great concern among atmospheric scientists?arrow_forwardCO2 and planetary warming: understanding Earth’s complicated atmosphere Mars has an atmospheric pressure of 6 mbar (compared with Earth atmosphere pressure of 1013 mbar), 96% of which is CO2. The average calculated temperature of Mars is -57°C, whereas the actual average temperature is -55°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is only 2°C. On the other hand, the average calculated temperature of Earth, with 0.4 mbar of CO2, is -19°C, whereas the actual average temperature is 15°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is 34°C, much greater than that on Mars, which has higher CO2 concentration. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardEddies- Describe the many ways that eddies might occur. Understand the distinction between warm-core and cold-core eddies. Learn how eddies contribute to the transfer of water masses and organisms. Understand how eddies may lead to varying patterns of convergence and divergence, which affects ocean production.arrow_forward
- Q2: Stirling et al. (2008) reviewed a paper titled as: "Polar bears of western Hudson Bay and climate change: Are warming spring air temperatures the "ultimate" survival control factor?" by Dyck et al. and cited the papers that had analyzed the temperature from 7 weather stations in the Western Hudson Bay through a large period of time. Stirling et al. mentioned that Dyck et al. have not used the research works that recorded and analyzed data during a long period. What type of bias are Stirling et al. pointing out in their review?arrow_forwardHi! PLEASE ANSWER IN C# and explain each step so I can understand please (: The last experts did not answer in C# (reject my question if you can't). The controversial issue of global warming has been widelypublicized by the film “An Inconvenient Truth,” featuring former Vice President Al Gore. Mr. Goreand a U.N. network of scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shared the 2007Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of “their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledgeabout man-made climate change.” Research both sides of the global warming issue online (you might want to search for phrases like “global warming skeptics”). Create a five-question multiplechoicequiz on global warming, each question having four possible answers (numbered 1–4). Be objectiveand try to fairly represent both sides of the issue.
