Is Warming Arctic Behind Our Heat Waves?
2015-03-16 06:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: That's at least according to a study recently published in the journal Science, which details how Arctic warming is essentially putting the brakes on atmospheric circulation in mid-latitudes, leaving North America and Europe with uncharacteristically strong heat waves. For instance, in 2003, west Europe was slammed with a wave that was associated with the deaths of nearly 70,000 people (heat stroke, wild fires, etc). In 2010, Russia was then affected by one that lasted a stunning six weeks, grave...

Weakening of summer storm intensifies heat extremes
2015-03-14 02:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asian News International: A new study has revealed that summer storm weakening leads to more persistent heat extremes. Researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research suggested that storm activity in large parts of the US, Europe and Russia significantly calmed down during summers over the past decades, but this is no good news. The weakening of strong winds associated with the jetstream and weather systems prolongs and hence intensifies heat extremes like the one in Russia in 2010 which caused devastating...

Summer heat waves may be linked to Arctic warming

Climate Central: Before the summer of 2010, Moscow had never recorded a triple-digit temperature, with records going back to 1879. But during a weeks-long heat wave that June and July, the city's temperatures soared well above normal, setting an all-time record high of 102°F on July 30. A new study suggests that Arctic warming could have helped trigger that epic heat wave. This map shows how much temperatures over Russia varied from normal between July 20-17, 2010, with redder colors showing much warmer than normal...

Arctic melt brings more persistent heat waves to US, Europe
2015-03-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The U.S., Europe and Russia face longer heat waves because summer winds that used to bring in cool ocean air have been weakened by climate change, German researchers said. Rapid Arctic warming disturbs air streams in ways that have significantly reduced summer storms, raising the likelihood of heat waves, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said in a report Thursday in the journal Science. Hot weather in Russia in 2010 devastated crop harvests and caused wildfires. Unabated...
Heat Trace Cable vs. Immersion Heaters
2015-03-13 11:31:12| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
With the advancement in technology and increase in industrial demand, industries have started to mobilize over different heating methodologies, such as whether to use heating cables or immersion heaters. Heating cables are normally known as heat trace cables and can be used for various purposes- such as for...
