Verification of mesoscale objective analyses of VAS and rawinsonde data using the March 1982 AVE/VAS special network data

Various combinations of VAS (Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer Atmospheric Sounder) data, conventional rawinsonde data, and gridded data from the National Weather Service's (NWS) global analysis, were used in successive-correction and variational objective-analysis procedures. Analyses are produced for 0000 GMT 7 March 1982, when the VAS sounding distribution was not greatly limited by the existence of cloud cover. The successive-correction (SC) procedure was used with VAS data alone, rawinsonde data alone, and both VAS and rawinsonde data. Variational techniques were applied in three ways. Each of these techniques was discussed

Chefs in the City- Wexner Medical Center and OSU Extension Franklin County

IMPACT. 1: Through demonstrations and teaching, participants will learn how to incorporate nutritious foods into their diets. Families will also take part in OSU Extension's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. -- 2. The youth will grow vegetables, fruit, and herbs in the garden to be used for the demonstrations. Families will leave each session with recipes and fresh produce to incorporate into family cooking. -- 3. We anticipate this joint effort of OSU Wexner Medical Center and OSU Extension Franklin County being a model that can be replicated throughout the county.OSU PARTNERS: Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University; College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences; OSU Extension Franklin CountyCOMMUNITY PARTNERS: Mid-Ohio Foodbank; Franklinton Gardens; Children's Hunger AlliancePRIMARY CONTACT: James Warner ([email protected])The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center partnered with OSU Extension Franklin County to use vegetables and fruits the children grew and harvested at the Highland Youth Garden to create and demonstrate nutritious plant based-recipes at the Columbus Bilingual Academy. Through this pilot nutrition program, more than 100 families, twice monthly, had the opportunity to learn about creating healthy meals. Both children and adults tried a broad range of produce

Energy, Climate and Population: Growth, Peaks, and Declines 1900-2100

This dissertation is derived from numerical models that quantitatively examine energy, climate, and population. Future energy production in each chapter is modelled using the single-cycle Hubbert technique. Population figures are taken from United Nations projections. Per capita energy consumption is projected in each chapter either using regression modelling, or as a set of goals unique to the study. Annual energy demand is a product of per capita energy consumption and population. Renewable energy demand is defined as the total energy demand minus the projected non-renewable energy production. Emissions from energy production are calculated from global-averages for each source. The global-scale model of energy production and consumption suggests that peaking non-renewable energy will create renewable energy demand equal to 50% of global energy by 2054 and by 2028 in order to achieve climate goals. Similar modelling of regional-scale energy consumption goals highlights specific challenges for that energy transition, including population growth, development, and dependence on imported energy. A sensitivity analysis of the global model inputs uncovers that increasing current per capita energy consumption 3% negates the total global non-hydro renewable energy contribution. Additionally, doubling fossil fuel reserves results in 32% reduction in non-hydropower renewable energy demand by 2100. After determining the changes required to achieve certain goals in Sub-Saharan Africa, a search for a sufficient historical analogue provided evidence that the changes necessary would be globally unprecedented. Next I determine potential emissions savings in the US, EU, and Russia given a sample climate plan. The results indicate that even with total decarbonisation by 2100, the rest of the world cannot industrialise via fossil fuels. Finally, evaluation of competing goals of development and carbon emissions in China and India reiterates that developing nations will have to choose between development and realistic climate goals. The overall conclusions of this dissertation suggest that limiting global warming is not likely. A renewable energy infrastructure will need to be built regardless of environmental concerns. Reducing the gap in global economic and social inequality world via energy availability is a potential means of reducing the influence of population growth on each of the models in this dissertation
