A Re-radiation Model for the Earth’s Energy Budget and the Albedo Advantage in Global Warming Mitigation

Authors: Alec Feinberg
Comments: 17 Pages.

A solar geoengineering re-radiation model is developed for the global mean Earth’s energy budget (GMEEB) and results provide new insights. The GMEEB is depicted in terms of re-radiation events. We apply the model to 1950 and 2019 to illustrate its capability. To obtain the GMEEB, modeling only requires solar energy input, the re-radiation factor, and the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing. The model then predicts the GMEEB with and without forcing. A 61.8% optimum re-radiation factor is found in modeling in the absence of forcing. Above or below this value, iterative transition states occur. We demonstrate the possible transitional states and how they may converge to a new GMEEB with its re-radiation GHG change. Results suggest that albedo controls have many advantages in reducing global warming. We find about 38% less reverse forcing would be needed for global albedo increases compared to GHG reductions to mitigate climate change.

Vortex Cotes’s Spiral in an Extratropical Cyclone in the Southern Coast of Brazil

Comments: 5 Pages.

Ae extratropical cyclone” is an at- mospheric phenomenon that occurs when there is a very rapid drop in central atmospheric pressure. This phenomenon, with its characteristic of rapidly lowering the pressure in its interior, generates very intense winds and for this reason it is called explosive cyclone, “cyclone bomb” CB. It was determined the mathematical equation of the shape of the extratropical cyclone, being in the shape of a spiral called "Cotes’s Spiral." In the case of CB, which formed in the south of the Atlantic Ocean, and passed through the south coast of Brazil in July 2020, causing great damages in several cities in the State of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. With gusts recorded of 116 km/h, atmospheric phenomenon – CB hit southern Brazil on June 30, the beginning of winter 2020, causing destruction in its influence over. In five hours the CB traveled a distance of 257.48 km (159.99 miles), at an average speed of 51.496 km/h (31.998 miles/h) 27.81 knots, moved towards ENE, with a low pressure center of 986 mbar, 07:20 UTC, approximate location 35◦S 45◦W, and 5 hours after 12:20 UTC had already grown and had a low pressure center of 972 mbar, approximate location 34◦S 42◦30’W. The temperatures of the clouds and the surface near the low pressure center of the CB. The temperature in the center of the CB is approximately 45◦C at 07:20 UTC, July 1, 2020. Five hours later, at 12:20 UTC, in the low pressure center of the CB, the temperature varies from 45◦C to -30◦C, indicating that the CB increases in size and further tapers its core, sucking a great amount of steam to high altitudes of water where it condenses quickly.

Solar Power Distillation Pipeline

Authors: Kenneth Ramsey
Comments: 3 Pages.

A system, using only renewable energy, is described. A pipeline filters and heats the seawater, using solar energy. The water travels along the pipeline and condenses to deliver fresh water.
