About Atmospheric Science


Atmospheric science is the study of the Earth's atmosphere and its various inner-working physical processes. Meteorology includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics with a major focus on weather forecasting.

Climate change: 2019 Europe's warmest year on record

Apr 18,2020 6:40 pm

Three heat waves hit Europe , 2019

Europe is warming faster than the global average as the new data is that Last Year was the warmest On Record .

While The World of the year, The Second warmest was helped by a series of heat waves, press the region, to mark a new high.

in The Past five years, the global temperatures of just over 1C warmer on average than at The End of the 19Th Century .

In Europe , in the same period, the temperatures were almost 2C warmer.

the data was released, as the day of earth will be 50 marks anniversary.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), says the physical signs of Climate Change and the impact on Our Planet , have to dynamics in The Past five years, the hottest files were recorded.

The European data, which have taken place from the EU's Copernicus climate service, 11 of the 12 warmest years On Record on The Continent , since 2000.

This shows that the warm temperatures and summer heat waves, saw drought in many parts of Central Europe .

While the recorded in Cambridge In July in many places across The Continent , The Weather was 3-4C warmer than normal.

This is also reflected in sunshine duration, which hit Europe over the whole year. The Number of sun hours was the largest On Record .

2019 was a Record year for the hours of sunshine

The hot summer weather in Europe was followed by the wettest November On Record , with rainfall, almost four times the normal amount in the Western and Southern Europe .

The European Arctic, was seen below The High temperatures in The Last few years, only 0. 9C is higher than the average.

Taken together, the data show "a clear warming trend over The Last four Decades . "

"Europe has, in fact, warming significantly faster than the global average," said Prof Rowan Sutton, director of Science (climate) in the case of the UK ' s National Centre for Atmospheric Science .

Europe is also affected by heavy rains during the later part of Last Year

"there are two reasons. First, land regions have warmed faster than the oceans, especially because of the better availability of moisture over the oceans the rate of global warming dampens. "

"reductions of Secondly, in certain forms of air pollution have contributed to the recent warming in Europe , especially in the summer. "

What is the concern of researchers that the mean temperature in Europe in The Past five years, an average of almost 2C warmer than pre-industrial numbers.

This suggests that The Continent is a violation of The Promise to keep in the Paris climate agreement in temperatures "well below" 2C.

"In lockdown, sitting on our sofas or our makeshift desks, or in many other difficult situations, it would be easy for us to take our eyes of this worrying reality, that 2019 was the warmest year On Record for Europe , that of November brought us a lot more precipitation than normal," said Prof Hannah Cloke from the University of Reading.

"And for each decade I have on this planet, it was getting hotter and hotter and hotter. "

researchers in The Field are keen to emphasise that, while the Corona-Virus-could mean a pandemic to a temporary decline in the emissions of greenhouse gases, much more needs to be done to arrest the alarming warming trend.

"While the environmental pollution has not abated, with economic activity in response to the global pandemic, CO2 just disappear over night is easy," said Prof Daniela Schmidt of the University of Bristol .

Fires made worse by drought, a feature in many European countries in the year 2019

"The effects of warming such as Sea Level rise, will be With Us for centuries still were. The pandemic has given us less able to combat the effects of Climate Change Our communities, which is being flooded, find refuge in their damaged houses much more.

"We have also learned, though, in The Last few months, the actions make a difference. "

The new data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts have been published.

the comments on The Earth day anniversary, the WMO Secretary-General, Petteri Taalas , said it was important to continue the fight against Climate Change , during the global pandemic.

"While COVID-19 has caused serious international health and economic crisis, the failure of tackling Climate Change the humanity is threatening the ecosystems and economies for centuries," He Said .

"We need to reduce both the pandemic and Climate Change curves. "

Echo, Mr Taalas, commented: "We need the same determination and unity against Climate Change as against COVID-19. We need to act together to advance the interests of the health and well-being of mankind, not only for The Coming weeks and months, but for many generations to come. "
