26. Weather Forecasting

February 5, 2004

For many human activities, accurate weather forecasting is an absolute necessity. Scientists have learned to analyze indicators in the atmosphere : temperature pressure, hygrometry. Today, satellite photography has genuinely revolutionized this science because the photographs show tendencies and events that are invisible to the naked eye.

25. Winds

February 4, 2004

Air is in constant motion...of course, this is wind. Strong or weak, hot or cold, winds result from compensating differences in atmospheric pressure between anticyclones and depressions. They carry moisture, humidity, and play a major part in determining the various climates. Wind power is useful for some things, but when too violent there is no holding it back.

24. Urban Climate

February 3, 2004

Habitation, the places where people live, always influence the climate. The way that houses and buildings are constructed depends on whether it is to keep cool or be warm. Grouped into cities, these "environments" have an influence on climate. The weather is hotter, more humid and high structures disturb wind patterns.

23. Sunshine and Temperatures

February 2, 2004

Without the sun there could be no life on Earth. The sun's rays warm our planet and they "drive" the whole process of weather. The sun's rays can strike various regions obliquely or directly, delivering less or more heat, and this determines climate. But industrial activity sends greenhouse gasses into the upper atmosphere, disturbing this delicate balance.

22. Atmosphere and Pressure

January 30, 2004

Our planet is enveloped in air, the atmosphere. In fact, we separate it into several specific layers and each one has its own properties depending on altitude. Even air has weight that presses down on the Earth and this is called atmospheric pressure. It varies in intensity and to a large extent helps to determine weather patterns.

21. Clouds

January 29, 2004

There they are, above our heads, white, dense gray, billowing, flat there seem to be as many clouds are there are skies. Now, there are even artificial clouds. Each cloud belongs to a specific category and they are all formed in the same way : rising water vapor that condenses at higher altitude.

20. Storms

January 28, 2004

When the sky growls and is filled with streaks of light, the weather is turning stormy. Thunder and lightning are spectacular companions of this meteorological phenomenon. By learning a little physics and with some clever applications, we can know storms better, forecast them and, maybe, even protect ourselves from them.

19. Coastal Climates

January 27, 2004

Where continents and seas meet, the coastline creates a unique climate, always very humid and swept by winds caused by the nearness of the water. These regions have their own ecosystems that create favorable conditions for many species. As for man, he has to struggle to survive, and yet, today, two-thirds of the world's population live on these coasts.

18. The Savannah

January 26, 2004

The paradise for big wild animals has a name, the savannah. Vegetation is typical of any tropical climate; that is, regions located on our planet between the Tropics. It is hot all year 'round and for months at a time it is dry. To, cool off or find food, sometimes requires cleverness and a good pair of legs. Men and animals move about depending on available pastureland.

17. The Monsoon

January 23, 2004

A real deluge is the monsoon ! It has such precise properties that climatologists consider it a fifth season. In one or two months, in Asia, ninety percent of the entire yearly rainfall drenches the area. It is not surprising that flooding is always a consequence. The monsoon is a unique phenomenon but it is essential because it makes it possible to cultivate rice.

16. Continental Climates

January 22, 2004

"Continental" climate...in the deep interior of continents. Temperature variations with changing seasons are impressive. Here is the realm of great deciduous forests, violent Summer storms and strange sounds in the underbrush. Through the trees, bears and lynx and wild boar make their presence known.

15. Mediterranean Climate

January 21, 2004

The Mediterranean basin is the birthplace of many civilizations. The climate here has played an integral part in creating this cultural richness. In the family of sub tropical climates, this is the most humid, a factor that has been predominant in mankind's development here.

14. Steppe Climate

January 20, 2004

In the north, deep within a continent, where the wind blows all the time and it seldom rains this is an environment of the Steppe. Here are vast stretches of barren land with no trees and only occasional shrubs furnish food for a few rodent species. In Mongolia, it is just horses that dispute their territory.

13. Insular Climate

January 19, 2004

The realm of oceans is also that of islands. Large or small, these often remote "lands" have their own special climate "insular", because the sea is always near by. Hot or cold, temperatures vary hardly at all ; humidity and wind are always present.

12. Sub Polar Climate

January 16, 2004

The Taiga is characteristic of sub polar regions, those located under the Arctic Circle. Massive pine forests covering vast stretches of the American and Eurasian continents in the far north. In this climate, temperatures are rarely above freezing. Reindeer and elk have to paw the ground to uncover something to eat under the snow. To survive, people have learned to domesticate these animals.

11. Temperate Climate

January 15, 2004

"Temperate", here, means with no extremes, where temperature variations from Summer to Winter are slight. Since there is always a level of humidity in this climate, people find the land fertile, good for agriculture. But increased cultivation encroaches on virgin land, the territory of wild species.

10. Mountains

January 14, 2004

Altitude modifies the environment. In very high regions, there is a specific climate : mountainous. Snow covers the slopes for many months of the year. But plants have made an adaptation, they grow very quickly in the brief period available. The animals are prepared for the abrupt changes in terrain. This is where the chamois and ibex leap about as soon as Spring comes.

9. Equatorial Climates

January 13, 2004

At the equator that imaginary line dividing the Earth into two halves, north and south, great rainforests dominate. They are very humid and accommodate many wild species...some of them yet to be discovered. All these animals and plants typify this climate. In these regions there is practically no distinction of seasons.

8. Oceanic Climate

January 12, 2004

This is a perfect example of a mild climate. Nearby oceans act as temperature regulators, bringing mild weather in winter and cool days in summer. As a result, it is perfect for agriculture, plants just have to be protected from the wind. People have come up with the solution, hedges. And these provide a paradise for flora and fauna.

7. Desert Climate

January 9, 2004

Deserts are regions with a characteristically hot dry climate. But why does it sometimes rain only once over several years ? How can animals and people cope with the burning hot sun? They look for any cool spot they can find. Fennecs, desert foxes, come out only at night people, nomads, wear flowing clothes that create air currents.

6. Polar Climate

January 8, 2004

At the poles the temperature can go down to a minus forty degrees Celsius. Why? Because in regions of polar climate, the Arctic and Antarctica, the sun's rays fall at a glancing angle, providing less heat. And yet, even in this glacial cold, animals and people manage to survive using special techniques.

5. The History of Climates

January 7, 2004

Weather changes every day, but climates also change, but slowly, over centuries, even millennia. Since its creation, the Earth has known successive ice ages and alternate hot periods. Man has been witness to some of these changes, but now is he becoming responsible for climate change ?

4. Mists and Fog

January 6, 2004

It is in part thanks to humidity that life has been able to develop on Earth. But, where does all this water come from and what stages does it go through before, finally, returning to the ground and its source? This is the "water cycle": the process of evaporation, formation of clouds and water falling as rain, fog, mist and drizzles.

3. Tropical Climate

January 5, 2004

In tropical latitudes, a dry, hot climate prevails and this encourages a characteristic environment : the bush. Usually the land is barren and there is dust everywhere. Certain animal and plant species have managed to adapt, but it is a daily struggle.

2. Storm, Cyclones and Hurricanes

January 2, 2004

Winds sometimes rise to astonishing speeds. They turn into violent storms and, in some latitudes, even into cyclones that destroy everything in their path. But just how do these weather phenomena come about and how can we prepare for them? Nature and man have come up with some clever solutions.

1. The Seasons

January 1, 2004

Changes in the weather follow the seasons. Of course, it's Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring but what are the exact origins and characteristics of these seasons, on flora and fauna...and on people's lives ? The consequences aren't always the same : it depends on the precise climate.
