Dramatic Fluctuations Of Devils Lake Nd
2,658 wordsClimate Connections and Forecasts Connect K. Baldwin and Upmanu Lall Utah Water Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322 - 8200 Introduction The recent (1992 -date) record rise in the level of the Devils Lake, North Dakota, has led to a number of questions as to the nature of regional and global climate variability, and the utility of existing methods for forecasting lake levels and assessing the associated flood risk. A purpose of the work presented here was to explore the co...

Excellence probabilities of different DL levels were computed from the simulations from the end of the model-fitting period to enable comparisons with the USGS model forecasts for 2000 and beyond. Split sample analyses were used to assess the performance of ARCOMP on historical lake fluctuations using only prior per...

Stratospheric Ozone Ozone Layer
2,496 wordsThe Atmospheric Ozone Layer The stratospheric ozone layer exists at altitudes between about 10 and 40 km depending on latitude, just above the tropopause. Its existence is crucial for life on earth as we know it, because the ozone layer controls the absorption of a portion of the deadly ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV-A rays, including wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, are not affected by ozone. UV-C rays between 200 and 280 nm, are absorbed by the other atmospheric constituents besides...
