[1] Key climate feedback due to water vapor and clouds rest largely on how relative humidity R changes in a warmer climate, yet this has not been extensively analyzed in models. General circulation models (GCMs) from the CMIP3 archive and several higher‐ resolution atmospheric GCMs examined here generally predict a characteristic pattern of R trend with global temperature that has been reported...

Water is a nearly miraculous molecule that enters into the operation of the climate system in a remarkable variety of ways. A wide-ranging overview can be found in Pierrehumbert (2002). In the present chapter, we will be concerned only with the radia-tive effects of atmospheric water vapor on climate, and with the kinematics of how the water vapor distribution is maintained. These effects are i...

Objective To determine if environmental variables affect the average daily activity counts (AC) of dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) and/or owners' perception of their dog's clinical signs or quality of life. Methods The AC and Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI) owner questionnaires of 62 dogs with OA were compared with daily environmental variables including the following: average temperature (°C)...

realistic prediction of concrete shrinkage and creep requires the calculation of the distributions of relative humidity at various times. although the distributions of the relative humidity can be computed by numerical methods from the differential equation for diffusion, simple prediction formulas can facilitate structural analysis. the purpose of this paper is to present a simple formula for ...

The sensitivity of free-tropospheric relative humidity to cloud microphysics and dynamics is explored using a simple 2-D humidity model and various configurations of the NCAR CAM3 Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM). In one configuration the imposed surface temperatures and radiative perturbations effectively eliminated the Hadley and Walker circulations and the main westerly jet, crea...

We prove new $L^p$- $L^q$ estimates for averages over dilates of the circle with respect to $\alpha$-dimensional fractal measure, which unify different types maximal circular average. Our results are consequences smoothing wave operator relative measures. also discuss similar concerning spherical averages.

A review of the health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments suggests that relative humidity can affect the incidence of respiratory infections and allergies. Experimental studies on airborne-transmitted infectious bacteria and viruses have shown that the survival or infectivity of these organisms is minimized by exposure to relative humidities between 40 and 70%. Nine epidemiolog...

BACKGROUND A nationwide study was conducted to explore the short term association between daily individual meteorological parameters and the incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with coronary emergency catheter interventions in the Republic of Slovenia, a south-central European country. METHOD We linked meteorological data with daily ACS incidence for the entire population of Sl...
