In this paper, reconstructed decadal mean temperature anomaly series of 8 regions of China are compared to those generated in two multi-century simulations with a climate model, which was forced with time variable volcanic aerosols, solar output and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The two model simulations are rather similar but do exhibit some differences. Both the reconstructed and...

Introduction. Epochs of widespread plains emplacement on Venus would have significantly perturbed atmospheric inventories of water and sulfur gases. These gases are potent infrared absorbers that act preferentially to block outgoing thermal radiation within carbon dioxide spectral windows. Small changes in their abundances can significantly alter the efficiency of the Venus atmospheric greenhou...

Nitrous oxide (N(2)O) and methane (CH(4)) are chemically reactive greenhouse gases with well-documented atmospheric concentration increases that are attributable to anthropogenic activities. We quantified the link between N(2)O and CH(4) emissions through the coupled chemistries of the stratosphere and troposphere. Specifically, we simulated the coupled perturbations of increased N(2)O abundanc...

To determine the correlation between the working environment and the health status of employees in solar greenhouse, 1171 employees were surveyed. The results show the 'Greenhouse diseases' are affected by many factors. Among general uncomforts, the morbidity of the bone and joint damage is the highest and closely related to labor time and age. Planting summer squash and wax gourd more easily c...

The indoor thermal and humid environment of the solar greenhouse, especially air humidity, is studied by field test psychrometric chart. First, temperature relative radiation in greenhouse were tested tests. According to results, Solar has a great influence on humidity greenhouse. vary dramatically presence radiation. At night, although meets requirements crop growth, close 90%, far higher than...

The 2013 Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy signed by the Governors of California, Oregon, and Washington and the Premier of British Columbia launched a broadly announced public commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through multiple strategies. Those strategies include the development and increased use of renewable energy sources. The initiative recognized that citizens are...

In the following work, a seasonal thermal energy storage using paraffin wax as a PCM with the latent heat storage technique was attempted to heat the greenhouse of 180 m floor area. The system consists mainly of five units: (1) flat plate solar air collectors (as heat collection unit), (2) latent heat storage (LHS) unit, (3) experimental greenhouse, (4) heat transfer unit and (5) data acquisiti...

It is believed that the global warming since the mid-20th century is primarily the result of the combustion of fossil fuel. The fact that the climate also changed in the past during periods of rather constant atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations points to additional factors such as solar and volcanic forcing. The Sun is by far the most important source of energy for Earth and direct satell...
