  • Heat Waves in Southern California: Are They Becoming More Frequent and Longer Lasting?
    Heat Waves in Southern California: Are They Becoming More Frequent and Longer Lasting? A!"# T$%!$&#$' University of California, Berkeley S()*) L$D+,-. California State University, Los Angeles J+/- W#00#/ $'1 W#00#$% C. P$(&)!( Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA ABSTRACT Los Angeles is experiencing more heat waves and also more extreme heat days. 2ese numbers have increased by over 3 heat waves per century and nearly 23 days per century occurrences, respectively. Both have more than tripled over the past 100 years as a consequence of the steady warming of Los Angeles. Our research explores the daily maximum and minimum temper- atures from 1906 to 2006 recorded by the Department of Water and Power (DWP) downtown station and Pierce College, a suburban valley location. 2e average annual maximum temperature in Los Angeles has warmed by 5.0°F (2.8°C), while the average annual minimum temperature has warmed by 4.2°F (2.3°C). 2e greatest rate of change was during the summer months for both maximum and minimum temperature, with late fall and early winter having the least rates of change. 2ere was also an increase in heat wave duration. Heat waves lasting longer than six days occurred regularly a3er the 1970s but were nonexistent from the start of 1906 until 1956, when the 4rst six-day heat wave was recorded. While heat days have increased dramatically in the past century, cold days, where minimum temperature is below 45°F (7.2°C), show a slight decreasing trend. Recent deadly heat waves in the western United States have generated increasing electricity demands.

  • Richard Anderson a Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 1
    Richard Anderson A Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 Chapter 6: Under a broiling sun: Urban Heat Introduction As long-term residents will know, Toronto can be hot and uncomfortable in summer. Heat-wave nights can be warm and sticky, while the days bring a scorching combination of steamy heat and smog. And it is all supposed to get worse with global warming. Although the city's historians have tended to ignore it, Toronto's summer heat has a long and significant history. It also has an intricate geography. Over long periods of time the changing geography of Toronto's heat has helped reshape the city and its surrounding regions. Urban heat has played a vital role in its biophysical history. If we had to arrange a field trip to take urban historians to meet the Ghost of Heat-Waves Past, we might start with the early part of July 1921. Those in search of biophysical stress would find Toronto sweltering in classic hot summer weather. The Observatory, custodian of official temperature records, put the maximum at 93 °F (33.9 °C)1 but it was much warmer in the city's workplaces. Downtown offices were in the high 90s, and it got well into the 100s in restaurant kitchens, brickyards, foundries, and the gas works.2 Workplace absenteeism was widespread. Heat closed the CCM factory in Weston, and reduced the staff at Dunlop Rubber. The Gurney and Pease foundries closed. Plasterers and bricklayers downed tools.3 People riding to work on the streetcars hung their heads out of windows, in search of a breeze.

  • July 2015 Dear Neighbor
    July 2015 Dear Neighbor: I hope you’re enjoying the summer. Below you’ll find an update on my recent efforts across the 27th Senate District, including news of my legislation to ban the transport of game trophies through Port Authority-controlled airports, my op-ed in The Guardian on the Boy Scouts of America’s insufficient policy change on gay scout leaders, and the letter I sent with colleagues to General Electric (G.E.) urging the company to do a more comprehensive cleanup of toxic PCBs in the Hudson River. I’ve also included information on tonight’s NYPD National Night Out events and how to find a cooling center near you during these hot summer days. As always, please contact me at 212-633-8052 or [email protected] if you have any questions, comments or ideas about how I might be helpful. All best, Brad Hoylman State Senator 27th District ________________________________________ Legislation to Ban Transport of Game Trophies The killing of Cecil the lion by an American tourist in Zimbabwe outraged the world. Unfortunately, international airports in New York and New Jersey often serve as the gateway for transporting game trophies back to the United States. This week, I announced a partnership with New Jersey Assemblymember Tim Eustace, along with my West Side colleague Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, to introduce legislation in our states to bar the passage of the remains of threatened or endangered species through airports controlled by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which includes JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports. Read about our forthcoming legislation in the Daily News.

    Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Alek J. Krautmann June 2012 © 2012 Alek J. Krautmann. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? by ALEK J. KRAUTMANN has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ryan Fogt Assistant Professor of Geography Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KRAUTMANN, ALEK J., M.S., June 2012, Geography Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? Director of Thesis: Ryan L. Fogt The onset of heat waves can be subtle and do not result in structural damage like many other meteorological events. Components to consider that comprise a heat wave include: duration, daytime high and overnight low temperatures, other atmospheric conditions, human impacts, and location. Nonetheless, even with these deterministic factors, heat waves lack a meaningful uniform meteorological definition. This Thesis focuses on what constitutes summer heat waves in the Midwest by identifying the thresholds of high temperature that are representative of the most extreme events. Heat waves are classified based on surface observation records from Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and St. Louis. The large-scale weather features are examined for the most significant events. In addition, changes manifest in the number and duration of past heat waves are presented. The historical significance and characteristics of the most extreme heat waves on record are also discussed.
