1. Lake Effect Snow - Part 1
- www.islandnet.com
- Lake-Effect Snowfalls.
- Most lake-effect snowfall occurs, not during the passage of the low pressure cell of a winter storm, but in the strong cold air flow behind the storm's cold front. ... When lake-effect snow squalls are well developed, there may be less than 12 hours between the last of them and the more widespread snowfall of the next cyclonic storm system.
- Lake-effect snows often add to the miseries of a winter storm's passage. ... In the more severe lake-effect snow squalls, snowfall accumulations of more that 75 cm (30 in) per day are not uncommon, and fall rates as high as 28 cm (11 in) per hour have been reported. ...
- Lake-effect snows are not restricted to the Great Lakes shorelines, but are most common and heaviest there. Any large lake may produce lake-effect snow downwind if it remains essentially ice-free. And, although the east and south shores of the Great Lakes are most likely to have lake-effect snowfalls, north and west shorelines can be hit if the air traversing the lake is cold enough and the distance the air passes over open water (known as the fetch) is large enough.
- Lake-effect snowstorms are of major economic significance. ... The large cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, Erie, Pennsylvania and London, Ontario are all located in major lake-effect snowbelts. Lake-effect snowstorms account for countless lost work and school days. ...

- Lake-Effect Snowfalls.
- Lake-Effect Snow Climatology in the Great Lakes Region.
- The distribution of snowfall in the Great Lakes region resulting from lake-effect snowfall is dependent upon several factors: the position of the storm tracks, the degree and variations in lake water temperatures, the extent of ice coverage, prevailing wind directions and the frequency of strong wind speeds. Topographic contrasts to the lee of each of the Great Lakes also affect the intensity and spatial distribution of lake effect snowfall. Lake effect snowfall contributes between 30% and 50% of the annual winter snowfall on the eastern and southern shores of the Great Lakes.
- In Ontario, total snowfalls along the shorelines of Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay reach 300 to 400 cm ( 118-157 in), most of which is due to lake-effect snowfall. ...
- During the three-day period from December 7 to 9, lake-effect snow squalls, driven by 100 km/h (60 mph) winds, dropped over 100 cm (39 in) of snow on the region. ...
- The most spectacular lake-effect snow squalls occur eastward of the lee shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie in New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Lake-effect snowfalls in this snowbelt are generally quite local, averaging 30 km (20 miles) across and from 16 to 112 km (10 to 70 miles) in depth, but can accumulate snows at amazing rates.
- For example, in a sixteen hour period crossing December 7-8, 1958, 102 cm (40 in) of lake-effect snow fell at Oswego, New York on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario. ... In February (4-5) 1972, an accumulation of lake-effect snow dropped 142 cm (56 in) on Oswego, trapping the participants of the annual Eastern Snow Conference!.
- The persistent flow of cold air over the eastern Great Lakes region during the Winter of 1976-77 produced one of the most spectacular lake-effect snowfall seasons. ... National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists examined the ten previous winters and determined an average of 25 days with purely lake-effect snowfall in the lee of Lakes Erie and Ontario. ...
- The combination of cyclonic and lake-effect snows did set a new record for a single month at Bennetts Bridge: 487. ...
- The potential impact of lake-effect snowfall in the Great Lakes region can best be illustrated by looking at the snowiest major cities in the United States in the 1970s, a decade known as the Snowy Seventies. ...

- Hutchison Effect.
- The Hutchison Effect -- An Explanation.
- George Hathaway (1988): "The Hutchison Effect – A Lift and Disruptive System". ...
- THE HUTCHISON EFFECT: A LIFT, DISRUPTION AND LUMINOUS ENERGY SYSTEM The original way that Hutchison set out his range of apparatus was, by industrial standards, primitive and crowded, with poor connections and hand-wound coils. ... "3 We may ask ourselves what new directions for investigation into 'poltergeists' are open to us in the light of the Hutchison Effect. ... Although we may shelve theories of psychokinesis and separate them out from 'poltergeist' activity as belonging to dice-throwing experiments or the spoon-bending of Uri Geller, the weird physical antics of the mixing and matching fields of the Hutchison Effect provide us with something far stranger. ... The energies involved in the Hutchison Effect are clearly the same ones at work during 'poltergeist' activity, and it is only the ignorance and entrenched positions of the psychical research fraternity that prevent them from accepting these insights into electromagnetic energy potentials. ... Once again, the Enfield case provides us with comparable examples of strange, luminous phenomena in a domestic setting, and in this extract they are accompanied by other typical phenomena also explainable within the Hutchison Effect: "The Harpers hoped to find some peace and quiet in the Burcombes' house, but it was not to be. ... In the extract given above, it is not difficult to rethink the apparent materialization of the plastic rod as a typical trajectory of the Hutchison Effect, observed many times and recorded on video. ... But as already noted, this lessening of effect is consistent with the fact that the Hutchison device involves a concentrated collection of devices which appear to act as a single entity, whereas an electromagnetic hot-spot occurs by the chance juxtaposition of freak environmental field sources. ... That is to say, I would add to the Hutchison Effect by including my own findings, as outlined in my books, which point to 'poltergeists' being electromagnetic phenomena, and my conclusion that there is a bioelectromagnetic aspect where the human body behaves as another piece of electrical apparatus or hardware and re-radiates generalized ambient fields in more beam-like, coherent forms. ... Perhaps the reader will have some inkling of the sort of establishment opposition I am up against, or may even refuse to believe the Hutchison Effect themselves. ... He is the author of several books, including Allergies and Aliens: The Visitation Experience-An Environmental Health Issue (Discovery Times Press, 1994), UFOs: Psychic Close Encounters- The Electromagnetic Indictment (Blandford, 1995), and The Poltergeist Machine: The Hutchison Effect-A Lift and Disruption System (Discovery Times Press, 1996). ...

5. Yarkovsky effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Yarkovsky effect.
- In physics, the Yarkovsky effect is a force felt by a body caused by the momentum carried away by the thermal photons that it emits. ... Decades later Öpik, recalling the pamphlet from memory, discussed the possible importance of the Yarkovsky effect for moving meteoroids about the solar system (E. ...
- In a nutshell, the Yarkovsky effect is a consequence of the warming of the asteroid's surface as it rotates under the Sun. ...
- The description above is for the diurnal Yarkovsky effect. There is another form, called the seasonal effect, which dominates if the object spins fast enough that the day/night (longitudinal) temperature difference tends to become negligible. ... The seasonal effect is more important for smaller asteroidal fragments (from a few metres to ~100 m), provided their surfaces are not covered by an insulating regolith layer and they do not have exceedingly slow rotations.
- The Yarkovsky effect is minuscule: 6489 Golevka is estimated to be subjected to a force of about 0. ...
- It is very hard to predict the exact impact that the Yarkovsky effect will have on a specific asteroid's orbit, however, due to the fact that it is affected by a great many variables that are hard to account for with limited observational information. The Yarkovsky effect depends upon the shape of the asteroid, its orientation, its rotation rate, and its albedo; these factors are further complicated by the effects of shadowing and thermal "reillumination", which are not relevant for bodies with convex shapes, and the effect of directly reflected sunlight (radiation pressure), which is usually neglected for spherical bodies with uniform albedo.
- In general, the effect is size dependent, and will affect the semi-major axis of smaller asteroids. ...
- Even for the simple case of the pure seasonal Yarkovsky effect on a spherical body in a circular orbit with 90° obliquity, semi-major axis changes could differ by as much as a factor of two between cases with uniform albedo and cases with a strong north/south albedo asymmetry. ...
- The effect was first measured in 1991-2003 on the asteroid 6489 Golevka. ...

6. Theory: Photoelectric Effect
- www2.slac.stanford.edu
- The Photoelectric Effect.
- The photoelectric effect is a process whereby light falling on a surface knocks electrons out of the surface. ...
- Einstein's paper explaining this effect was one of the earliest applications of quantum theory and a major step in its establishment. To explain this effect one has to consider that light behaves like a stream of particles called photons. ...
7. Matthew effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Matthew effect.
- (Redirected from The Matthew Effect) .
- The Matthew effect alludes to a line spoken by "the Master" in Jesus's parable of the talents in the Christian Bible:.
- In education Matthew effect is a term coined by Keith Stanovich, a psychologist who has done extensive research on reading and language disabilities. ... Hence the term the Matthew Effect: the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
- In sociology, Matthew effect was a term coined by Robert Merton to describe how, among other things, eminent scientists will often get more credit than a comparatively unknown researcher even if their work is similar; it also means that credit will usually be given to researchers that are already famous: for example, a prize will almost always be awarded to the most senior researcher involved in a project, even if all the work was done by a graduate student.

8. Veterans Day Lake Effect Snowstorm: November 9-14, 1996 in the Great Lakes
- ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu
- The Veteran's Day storm of November 9-14, 1996 may be the most severe early season lake effect snow (LES) storm the Great Lakes has witnessed in the past fifty years. ...
- If cold enough, this precipitation will fall as snow flurries, snow showers, or snow "squalls" (squalls indicates lake-effect snow which is more organized or intense). The squalls may persist for hours in favored locations to the lee of the lakes, resulting in the famous lake effect snowstorms we hear so much about. ...
9. Neuroscience for Kids - The Musical Brain
- faculty.washington.edu
- Several years ago, an experiment was done which seemed to show that listening to classical music could improve memory! This effect has come to be known as "The Mozart Effect" because the musical selection that seemed to improve memory was a song by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ...
- Listening to Mozart before this test had NO EFFECT on the students. Apparently the Mozart Effect depends on what kind of test is used. Other researchers have said that the original work on the Mozart Effect was flawed because: .
- In another attempt to demonstrate the Mozart Effect, researchers at Appalachian State University went to great lengths to follow the exact procedures of previous studies. ... Kenneth Steele and coworkers reported that they were unable to show that listening to the music of Mozart had any effect on spatial-reasoning performance. ... there is little evidence to support basing intellectual intervention on the existence of the Mozart effect. ...
- The researchers who were successful at finding the Mozart Effect have also looked at the effects of music lessons on spatial reasoning. ...
- Some researchers have even tried to see if the Mozart Effect exists in monkeys! In these studies, monkeys listened to Mozart piano music for 15 minutes before they had to do a memory test. ...

11. Review: Butterfly Effect, The
- movie-reviews.colossus.net
- Butterfly Effect, The.
- It is likely that a number of reviews are going to describe The Butterfly Effect as a "science fiction" movie. Nothing could be further from the truth - little that occurs during the course of this film relates to science or technology, and to force The Butterfly Effect into the genre is a lazy and unwarranted approach. Although there is a "Twilight Zone" feel to the proceedings, it's worth noting that many episodes of Rod Serling's classic TV series gyrated along the line between fantasy and horror, and that's exactly where The Butterfly Effect belongs. ...
- The Butterfly Effect takes its name from a premise of chaos theory: a butterfly flapping its wings in North Africa can cause a typhoon half-a-world away (see Jurassic Park for a similar explanation). ... By following the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principal, The Butterfly Effect manages to move forward without confusing or losing its audience. ...
- And, when he does, he learns that he might have been better off not meddling with the complex formula of cause-and-effect. ...
- ) There's a little Sliding Doors in this film, although, unlike the earlier movie, The Butterfly Effect is not a romantic comedy, nor does it show us the parallel evolution of different universes. ...
- In many ways, The Butterfly Effect is about regrets, and the closing sequences emphasize this. The film is engrossing enough to minimize such misgivings, however; few who enjoy unconventional pictures and see The Butterfly Effect will regret the experience. ...
12. NOVA Online/Cracking the Ice Age/Greenhouse - Green Planet
- www.pbs.org
- In part, we owe our existence to a process called the greenhouse effect. ... This same effect happens every day on the Earth. ...
- On a clear day, water vapor can comprise 60 to 70 percent of the greenhouse effect. ...
- For example, as the Ice Age progressed, scientists believe the amount of natural carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dropped over thousands of years, reducing the greenhouse effect, and making the Earth cooler. ... Many climatologists argue that we are artificially increasing the greenhouse effect, warming the Earth faster than would occur naturally, which could cause problems for the Earth in the future. ...
- But even as scientist debate the impact of changes to the greenhouse gases, there is still one fact with which they all can agree - without the greenhouse effect, life on this planet would not be the same. ...
