Because of the differences between indoor and outdoor thermal condition, preparing some outdoor thermal indices is a way to understand and categorize the outdoor thermal sensation. The aim of these indices is not to provide thermal comfort - as it is the aim of indoor indices. Instead, they are provided to analyze outdoor thermal sensation to help architects, landscape architects and urban desi...

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the best known example of quasi-periodic natural climate variability on the interannual time scale. It comprises changes in sea temperature in the Pacific Ocean (El Niño) and changes in atmospheric pressure across the Pacific Basin (the Southern Oscillation), together with resultant effects on world weather. El Niño events occur at intervals of 2-7 yea...

© British Birds 98 • May 2005 • 238-256 ABSTRACT Bird migration in and through Britain and Ireland shows great variation, both seasonally and annually. Much depends on atmospheric conditions, which can equally hinder and assist migration, both on a broad scale (the distribution, extent, intensity and movement of pressure patterns), and at a local level (temporal and spatial changes in wind, vis...

This research considers experiential knowledge as a basis for distinguishing conceptual models of atmospheric space from those of terrestrial geographic space. Models of spatial knowledge typically define knowledge acquisition in terms of a static environmental framework, a framework that accurately represents the manner in which individuals experience terrestrial space. However, this framework...
