    Impacts and Responses to the 1995 Heat Wave: A Call to Action ; 4 Stanley A. Changnon, Kenneth E. Kunkel, and Beth C. Reinke Midwestern Climate Center, Illinois State Water Survey, Champaign, Illinois ABSTRACT The short but intense heat wave in mid-July 1995 caused 830 deaths nationally, with 525 of these deaths in Chicago. Many of the dead were elderly, and the event raised great concern over why it happened. Assessment of causes for the heat wave-related deaths in Chicago revealed many factors were at fault, including an inadequate local heat wave warning system, power failures, questionable death assessments, inadequate ambulance service and hospital facilities, the heat island, an aging population, and the inability of many persons to properly ventilate their residences due to fear of crime or a lack of resources for fans or air conditioning. Heat-related deaths appear to be on the increase in the United States. Heat-related deaths greatly exceed those caused by other life-threatening weather conditions. Analysis of the impacts and responses to this heat wave reveals a need to 1) define the heat island conditions during heat waves for all major cities as a means to improve forecasts of threatening conditions, 2) develop a nationally uniform means for classifying heat-related deaths, 3) improve warning systems that are designed around local conditions of large cities, and 4) increase research on the meteorological and climatological aspects of heat stress and heat waves. 1 .Introduction atmospheric research, and for assessing potential im- pacts of global warming. The meteorological and climatological aspects of the severe 5-day heat wave over the central United States during mid-July 1995 have been defined 2.

    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.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Excessive Heat Events • Excessive Heat Can Be a Hidden Killer
    CITY OF SEATTLE CEMP – SHIVA WEATHER HAZARDS Excessive Heat Events • Excessive heat can be a hidden killer. In August 2003, excessive heat killed more than 15,000 people in France. In Cook County, Illinois in 1995, more than 700 deaths were attributed to heat. Because heat does no physical damage and deaths tend to occur in private dwellings, the extent of a heat disaster is often not visible to the public. • Since the mid-1970s, an average of three or four heat-related fatalities has occurred each summer in Seattle. During excessively warm summers, such as the summer of 1992, up to 50 to 60 deaths have occurred. • The season, humidity, duration and availability of cooling systems all strongly influence the impact of excessive heat events. • Seattle’s typically mild summers result in a population that is less acclimatized to extreme heat compared with that of many other cities in the United States. Health effects associated with heat begin in Seattle at lower temperatures than many other places. The relative temperature, compared to normal seasonal temperatures, is often more important than the actual temperature. Seattle is among the cities with the highest heat sensitivity in the country • Many Seattle homes and businesses lack cooling systems, increasing our vulnerability. • The most vulnerable people in heat events are the elderly, infants, the homeless, the poor and people who are socially isolated. • Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are examples of negative health effects associated with both average warmer summer temperatures and temperature extremes. • In Seattle, most fatalities are indirectly caused by heat, e.g., heart attacks, strokes, and respiratory illness.
