Pollution can affect the Weather

Not all scientists agree on the weather, such as Hurricane Mitch caused by pollution. There is no for sure. Those that say that pollution affects weather conditions causing the hot air pollution that cause changes in time. Scientists generally recognize local standards, say around the city, where the contamination affects precipitation, makes them more vulnerable to the rain on the weekend.

One of the scientists involved is Randall Cerveny of Arizona State University who conducted the study. Justin case your Internet connection down, here is the text:

"The study indicates weekly Hurricane rainfall related to pollution of the coast is"

You are returned to work Monday and affected weather? Display the weather itself, but can be controlled by the weekly calendar and even the powerful Atlantic hurricanes may feel the punch of the work week, according to a study by two researchers from the University of Arizona, which appears in the journal nature.

A study of some fundamental datasets in a manner never tried before the climate scientists at Arizona State University Randall Cerveny and Robert baling, evidence finds the son of suspicion of many weekends secret Boater: rain is more likely to occur along the Atlantic coast over the weekend, the weather is more likely to be better Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. The culprit more obvious is the effect of the 'natural' clouds created by massive drift from the coast, which follows a weekly cycle is also well defined.

Gray, stink cloud of pollution has a lien glittery, however. While pollution for more rain during the weekend, it reduces the intensity of hurricanes that struck this weekend, seems also weekend tornadoes tend to be much smaller than, say, storms Tuesday.

Cerveny said hurricanes are major storms that we have on the planet, in terms of energy and the rain "."And what we discovered that we have. It's a little tricky when you start thinking about it. »

The study compared three different series of daily data on monoxide, carbon and ozone measures Cervenywebaling of Canadian monitoring station on Sable Island off the coast of Nova Scotia, data, satellite of the Atlantic ocean, hurricanes in the Atlantic precipitation databases coastal measurements. In each case, when Arizona State University examined two scientific data by day of the week, found significant differences between days and similar patterns of variation, with clear differences between the debut and weekends. And all three sets of seven-day cycle of climate data.

He said the bullets ' human week is normal, period. '' "The human influence on the climate is the only explanation."

"If you go out of boats in the Atlantic, you will get wet if weakened," Cerveny said. "We suggest that this is probably related to pollution.

Study of precipitation in the Atlantic ocean, they have not found, no daily change by looking at the ocean in a whole, but the model of the wave sine difference visible only in coastal areas, with the average rainfall daily Thursday and rose at the end of the week and then dipping Sunday, through midweek. Balling and not start when the team analyzed satellite data grid cells within an area further away from the coast, they found the same model, the rate of pollution drifting time-shift.

Although the study did not directly address the causal link, the volatility of comparable levels of air pollution side is clear communication points. The fact that coastal strength Hurricane information from 1945 to1996, followed a similar trend (instead of the statistical standard for each day of the week, as expected),confirm this hypothesis.

Baled said "really good is to understand the fact that pollution could affect rainfall." "We just had to look for evidence in the right place. Data from the hurricane,surprised the heck out of me. "

He said "we knew that cities have an effect on the local weather with urban heat islands, and so on, people are sure that we have a global impact, with carbon dioxide," Cerveny. "But nobody had never watched it in the interval between large-scale regional weather.
