Climate Change and Flow of Environmental Displacement in Bangladesh
Akter Tahera - Unnayan Onneshan, 2009This study depicts environmental displacement with the premise of increased frequency of natural disasters and the adverse impacts of climate change. Bangladesh is already experiencing recurrent floods, severe cyclones, water logging, salinity intrusions, droughts and river bank erosion which induce mass population displacement. There is no generally agreed definition and scientifically developed methodology to estimate environmental displacement. Proper development guidelines are yet to be adopted to protect the lives and livelihoods of the displaced people who have the right to expect safe l ...

2 0 0 9 年 世 界 人 口 状 况 报 告 : 面对一个变化中的世界 - 妇女、人口与气候
联合国 (UN), 2009什么是减少碳排放量的最佳方法？谁应当 在应对当前和未来气候变化问题时承担资金方 面的责任？ 这些问题至关重要。而另外一些问题也十 分重要。比如说，在全球和各国所发生的气候 变化将会对妇女、男人、男孩和女孩分别产生 什么影响；个人的行为会阻碍还是有助于全球 应对气候变化的努力。贫困人群，特别是那些 生活在发展中国家的贫困人群，可能会承受气 候变化带来的最坏结果。由于大多数穷人生活 在 易 受 洪 水 、 暴 风 雨 和 海 平 面 上 升 影 响 的 地 区，且他们的生活更多地依赖农业和渔业，因 此他们在遭遇难以预测的干旱、洪涝和前所未 有的飓风侵袭时，更易于受到饥饿的威胁，甚 至失去生计。而在贫困人群中的妇女们在灾难 面前显得尤其脆弱。

Народонаселение мира в 2009 году : Перед лицом меняющегося мира - женщины, народонаселение и климат
Каков же наилучший подход к снижению уровня выбросов углеродных соединений? Кто должен нести финансовую ответственность за принятие мер, касаю- щихся нынешнего и будущего изменения климата? Эти вопросы крайне важны. Однако столь же важны вопросы, касающиеся того, каким образом изменение климата скажется на женщинах, мужчинах, мальчиках и девочках во всем мире и, конечно, в каждой стране, и каким образом поведение отдельных людей может либо подорвать глобальные усилия по преодолению измене- ния климата, либо содействовать им. Бедняки, особенно в развивающихся странах, по-видимому, столк ...

State of World Population 2009 : Facing a Changing World, Women, Population and Climate
United Nations, 2009This year's flagship report argues that reproductive health care, including family planning, and gender relations could influence the future course of climate change and affect how humanity adapts to rising seas, worsening storms and severe droughts. Women, especially impoverished women in developing countries, bear the disproportionate burden of climate change, but have so far been largely overlooked in the debate about how to address problems of rising seas, droughts, melting glaciers and extreme weather, the report concludes.
How Models Produce Precipitation and Clouds - version 2
This module, part of the "NWP Training Series: Effective Use of NWP in the Forecast Process", explores how NWP models handle both grid-scale microphysical (precipitation) and convective processes through parameterizations and/or explicit methods, with an emphasis on how model treatment (and errors in the triggering) of these processes affects forecast depiction of precipitation and related forecast variables. Back in 2000, the subject matter expert for this module was Dr. Ralph Petersen of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, Environmental Modeling Center (NCEP/EMC). Revisions to ...
The Amazon Rain Forest and Climate Change
This module discusses global climate change that is occurring largely because of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities, and in particular the impact that tropical deforestation plays in the climate system. It also covers signs of climate change, the current thinking on future changes, and international agreements that are attempting to minimize the effects of climate change. The United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD Programme) is also discussed.
Mesoscale Ocean Circulation Models
This module examines mesoscale ocean circulation models and features and processes that they predict. These models simulate temperature, salinity, currents, and elevation in 3 dimensions through a period of time. They have sufficient resolution to simulate features like fronts, eddies, upwelling, and internal tides. In this module, we examine current operational models, limitations to model forecasts, examples of predicted ocean features, and potential applications.
Satellite Feature Identification: Ring of Fire
Satellite Feature Identification: Ring of Fire introduces forecasters to the potentially damaging convection that can develop in conjunction with blocking high pressure centers and examines how to identify it from a water vapor imagery perspective. This module is part of the series "Dynamic Feature Identification: The Satellite Palette".
BoM Aviation Fog Case Exercise
This case exercise focuses on a potential fog event in Melbourne, Australia, on 6-7 April 2008. The key aim of this module is to step through the forecast process during a potential fog event from the perspective of an aviation forecaster with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. This involves consideration of model guidance and observations, identification of potential areas of fog, forecasting and nowcasting fog formation and clearance, and considering and providing TAF updates throughout.

WCDMP, 76. Proceedings of the sixth seminar for homogenization and quality control in climatological databases
The aim of the homogenization procedures is to detect the inhomogeneities and to correct the series. In practice there are absolute and relative methods applied for this purpose. However the application of absolute methods is very problematic and hazardous since the separation of climate change signal and the inhomogeneity signal is essentially impossible. Relative methods can be applied if there are more station series given, which can be compared mutually. The methodology of comparison is related to the following questions: reference series creation, difference series constitution, multiple ...

International Evaluation of Neutron Cross-Section Standards
IAEA, 2007Cross-section standards are required to be of high quality and accuracy to form the foundation of a wide range of important nuclear measurements and evaluations for both energy and non-energy applications. They constitute the yardstick for all other nuclear physics measurements. These standards have been re-assessed and evaluated to make significant improvements in the data, and to take into account important new experimental data and improved evaluation techniques. The methods employed were the most sophisticated ever used in cross-section evaluations. These present standards are more accurat ...
