Ocean acoustic thermometers and climatic change: Global monitoring systems.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
Critical to understanding the climate system is a technique by which the large-scale thermal field can be observed in the ocean. Acoustic measurements at basin scales do provide a sensitive means to recognize and map changes in temperature at large scales [J. L. Spiesberger and K. Metzger, J. Geophys. Res. 96, 4869–4889 (1991)]. These types of acoustic

Fighting Fire with a Thermometer? Environmental Efforts of the United Nations

Ethics and International Affairs, 2020
Environmental problems were not among the core issues for the United Nations at its creation in 1945. In the 1970s, however, they created a crescendo of public concern as the threats posed by toxic chemicals, large-scale destruction of natural ecosystems,

When the thermometer rises, the scales tip: Extreme temperature exposure and obesity.

Economics and Human Biology
Obesity is a global public health issue, with over 1.9 billion adults reported to be either overweight or obese. Despite the high financial and health costs associated with obesity, the global prevalence of obesity across all age groups has been on the ...

An observational record of global gridded near-surface air temperature change over land and ocean from 1781

Earth System Science Data
. We present a new gridded data set of air temperature change across global land and ocean extending back to the 1780s. This data set, called the GloSAT reference analysis, has two novel features: it uses marine air temperature observations rather than ...
