22. april, svetovni dan Zemlje

17.4.2013|Okolje

Dan odprtih vrat na ARSO Dan zemlje je namenjen osveščanju ljudi o pomenu varovanja našega planeta. Na Zemlji danes živi več kot 7 milijard ljudi. Vsak dan izkoriščamo njene naravne vire ter jo onesnažujemo. Ozračje se segreva, vse več je vremenskih sprememb in naravnih katastrof. Talijo se ledeniki, morska gladina se dviguje, ogroženih je več tisoč živalskih in rastlinskih vrst. Ob opazovanju sprememb, ki se nas vedno bolj dotikajo tudi v vsakdanjem življenju, postaja dan Zemlje, ki ga po svetu obeležujejo že od …

Hurricane Committee Learns Lessons from Sandy, Retires Name

15.4.2013|Vreme

The World Meteorological Organization's Hurricane Committee has agreed to changes in its hurricane and tropical storm watch and warning system to take into account lessons learned from Sandy - which has now been retired from the official rotating list of names because of the devastation caused in October 2012. Sandy will be replaced by Sara.
The Hurricane Committee adopted a proposal from its Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) in Miami to broaden hurricane and tropical storm watch and warning definitions to allow these watches and warnings to remain in effect after a tropical cyclone becomes post-tropical, when such a storm poses a significant threat to life and property.
In future, the RSMC Miami will ensure a continuity of service by continuing to issue advisories during the post-tropical stage, when a storm poses a significant threat to life and property.
These changes were motivated by the special challenges posed by Hurricane Sandy, which evolved from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone prior to reaching the coast of the United States of America. They will be incorporated into the Operational Plan of the Hurricane Committee of WMO Regional Association IV (North and Central America and the Caribbean).

Can we save energy by changing our behaviour?

9.4.2013|Okolje

In 2010, European households consumed almost 13 % more energy than two decades ago and generated 25 % of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.

Gladine podzemne vode so se v vodonosnikih severovzhodne Slovenije ob koncu prve dekade aprila na večini merilnih mest ustalile, mestoma pa so se pričele postopoma zniževati.
