Bermuda is about as far north of the equator as North Carolina, but, unlike North Carolina, it has a subtropical climate year-round. Why is this so?
Explain why large bodies of water such as Lake Michigan can be quite chilly in early July despite the outdoor air temperatures being near or above 90°F (32°C).
The summit of a mountain is 3240 m higher than a point in the foothills. Assume that the atmospheric lapse rate in this area is the same as the global average of -6.5°C/km. What is the temperature of the summit when eager hikers depart from the foothill location at a temperature of 28°C?

- The temperature of the ocean off the coast of New Jersey ranges from about 3 °C in late winter to about 24 °C in late summer. If we assume that the ocean temperature is representative of a layer that is 25 m deep and the only exchange of energy is at the ocean surface, what is the average energy flux at ocean surface that would be required to account for this temperature change?arrow_forwardNortheastern Canada and much of Europe receive about the same amount of sunlight per unit area. Why, then, is Europe generally warmer in the winter?arrow_forwardIceland, so named to discourage conquest by expanding empires, is not at all ice covered like Greenland and parts of Siberia, even though it is not far from the Arctic Circle. The average winter temperature of Iceland is considerably higher than it is in regions at the same latitude in eastern Greenland and central Siberia. Why is this so?arrow_forward
- It is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C.

Calculate the two temperatures of the wall surfaces.arrow_forwardIn Miami, Florida, which has a very humid climate and numerous bodies of water nearby, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 38°C (100°F). In the desert climate of Phoenix, Arizona, however, temperatures rise above that almost every day in July and August. Explain how the evaporation of water helps limit high temperatures in humid climates.arrow_forward
