This webinar presented by Jill Duplessis of OMICRON, explores why a power factor measurement can be misinforming. Learn about a simple, practical solution through which more value can be extracted from a power factor measurement. Key topics of this webinar include: Description of a Power Factor Test Strengths & Deficiencies of a Power Factor Measurement Analysis Strategies of a Power Factor Measurement Why following the rules may not be good enough Modeling an Insulation System and how a dielectric problem may manifest in the model Variable Frequency Power Factor and its Analysis Differentiating Variable Frequency Power Factor from DFR technologies Sponsored By: Join Us For This Free Live Webinar! read more

New climate change map adds a new factor: people
2013-09-17 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: In making the new map, published this week in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, a team of scientists have factored humans modifications to their environment into a new calculation of the relative threats that climate change poses to the worlds different regions. These alterations to the worlds landscapes seen in burgeoning cities, industrial centers, and farmland have already weakened certain regional ecosystems, putting them at a disadvantage as manmade changes to the global...

Warmer Ocean Water Is Key Factor in Melting Ice Shelves, Study Says
2013-09-13 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Recent research into one of West Antarctica's most rapidly melting glaciers and ice shelves has shown that rising ocean temperatures and a series of channels lacing the underside of the shelf are the key factors in the rapid thinning of the shelf and the swift advance of the glacier behind it. Reporting in NASA Edge of Pine Island ice sheet Science, U.S. scientists said that instruments deployed on and under the Pine Island Glacier and ice shelf over the past two years have shown that warmer ocean...
Experts: Climate primary factor on lake levels

Associated Press: Placing water retention structures in the St. Clair River may not be enough to counteract the effects of a warming climate and raise Lakes Huron and Michigan to their normal levels, experts said Monday. As water surface temperatures and evaporation rates continue to rise, low water is likely to be a long-term problem despite significant improvement this year following heavy snows in winter and a rainy spring, according to testimony during the annual meeting of the Great Lakes Commission. "Water...

Climate change and the lack-of-fear factor
2013-09-01 15:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Staten Island: With respect to the science of climate change, many experts regard the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as the world`s authoritative institution. A draft summary of its forthcoming report was leaked recently. It describes the panel`s growing confidence that climate change is real, that it is a result of human action, and that if the world continues on its current course, it will face exceedingly serious losses and threats (including a significant rise in sea levels by century`s end). While...
