Atmospheric Oxygen Meter measures from 0-100%.
2014-09-29 14:31:31| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Utilizing maintenance-free galvanic electrode that is unaffected by H2S and CO2, Model 630 measures atmospheric oxygen from 0-100% with 0.1% resolution and ±1% FS accuracy, ±1 digit. User attaches electrode to meter and uses screwdriver to adjust meter to display 20.9% (air) or to any gas of known concentration. Operating on single 9 V battery, meter features 0.5 in. high LCD, low battery indicator, and automatic temperature compensation from 0–40°C. This story is related to the following:Oxygen Meters

Churning Atmospheric Winds Inspire Extreme Weather
2014-06-23 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: In trying to explain for recent prolonged bouts of unseasonal and extreme weather patterns, researchers have found that changes in atmospheric wind patterns are causing certain regions to become more vulnerable to extreme conditions. Parts of the Northern Hemisphere in particular, researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Melbourne say, are facing the most extreme of weather conditions due to these changes. A study details these findings in the journal Nature Climate Change....

New study suggests more atmospheric stagnation event due global warming
2014-06-23 09:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A new study conducted by researchers at Stanford University has led to findings indicating that much of the world can expect to have more atmospheric stagnation events as the future unfolds. In their paper published in Nature Climate Change, the researchers describe how they ran a variety of computer models that took into account a continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions-they report that taken together, the models predict that approximately 55 percent of the world's population can expect to...
