Some Animals of the Northern Hemisphere.^*—(X.)

Journal of Education, 1897
Since the elk's antlers may fairly be considered typical, a fine pair are shown in the accompanying figure, to illustrate the different terms used in books on the chase. The browtine is the lowest branch, springing from the beam, or main stem of the antler, just above the burr, and curving gently downward toward the face.

Northern Hemisphere Sea Ice Extent

Science, 2000
Vinnikov et al . ([1][1]) strongly suggested that the observed downward trend in Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent from 1953 to 1998 relates to anthropogenic global warming. Their conclusion was based on the supposed low probability ( P < 0.1%) that a trend of the observed magnitude results ...

Cyclones and Northern Hemispheric temperature

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1994
The relationships between cyclone characteristics and Northern Hemispheric (NH) temperature during the period 1958–1987 are examined by an empirical procedure. The results tend to indicate an increase in the frequency of cyclogenesis in the NW Pacific region but a decrease over the East Asia continent during the period of NH warming.

Changing Northern Hemisphere Snow Seasons

Journal of Climate, 2010
Abstract Spatial and temporal patterns in the onset, offset, and length of the snow season across Northern Hemisphere continents are examined for the period from 1967 to 2008. Full snow seasons (FSS) and core snow seasons (CSS) are defined based on the consistency of snow cover within a location over the course of the cold season ...

THE INITIATION OF NORTHERN HEMISPHERE GLACIATION

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1994
For well over a century, scientists have speculated that variations in the atmospheric concentration of radiatively important trace gases, such as carbon dioxide, could control the Earth’s climate (e.g. Arrhenius 1896). Recent observations of significant glacial-interglacial variation in atmospheric CO2 in ice cores put this idea on a firm ...

Northern Hemispheric Air Circulation

2004
New theoretical basis is developed and is applied to diagnosis of the climatically prevailing atmospheric transports using the time mean climate data. Balance equations are decomposed into the continual mixture of interacting circulation patterns in the ranges of the synoptic eddy (SE) variability and climate background flow (BG) including the upscale ...

Pleistocene Glaciations of the Northern Hemisphere

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1929
Early Investigators As this has been announced to be a centenary year for glacial geology, a few words of explanation may be needed. The relevancy of 1928 as a centenary of glacial geology is based on the fact that two important investigations of glaciers date from the year 1828. That year marks the beginning of glacial studies by Jean de Charpentier,

Increasing Northern Hemisphere water deficit

Climatic Change, 2015
A monthly water-balance model is used with CRUTS3.1 gridded monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to examine changes in global water deficit (PET minus actual evapotranspiration) for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) for the years 1905 through 2009.

Transfer of Northern Hemisphere Fall-out to the Southern Hemisphere

Nature, 1966
THE detonation of a low-yield nuclear device in Western China at 1900 h, October 16, 1964 (New Zealand time), was reported, and tests for barium-140 were included in our routine investigations of fall-out at Gracefield, Wellington (41° 14′ S., 174° 55′ E.), to identify debris from this test.

Northern Hemisphere forcing of Southern Hemisphere climate during the last deglaciation

Nature, 2013
According to the Milankovitch theory, changes in summer insolation in the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere caused glacial cycles through their impact on ice-sheet mass balance. Statistical analyses of long climate records supported this theory, but they also posed a substantial challenge by showing that changes in Southern Hemisphere climate were in ...
