    NASA -What's theDifference BetweenWeather and Climate?

    Latest three month average temperature and precipitation anomaliesfor the United States.Credits: NOAA

    The difference between weather and climate

    is a measure of time. Weather is what condi-

    tions of the atmosphere are over a short period

    of time, and climate is how the atmosphere

    "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

    When we talk about climate change, we talk

    about changes in long-term averages of daily

    weather. Today, children always hear stories

    from their parents and grandparents about

    how snow was always piled up to their waists

    as they trudged off to school. Children today

    in most areas of the country haven't experi-

    enced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed

    winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in

    January 2005. The change in recent winter

    snows indicate that the climate has changed

    since their parents were young.

    If summers seem hotter lately, then the recent

    climate may have changed. In various parts of

    the world, some people have even noticed that

    springtime comes earlier now than it did 30

    years ago. An earlier springtime is indicative of

    a possible change in the climate.

    In addition to long-term climate change, there

    are shorter term climate variations. This so-

    called climate variability can be represented byperiodic or intermittent changes related to El

    Nio, La Nia, volcanic eruptions, or other

    changes in the Earth system.

    What Weather Means

    Weather is basically the way the atmosphere

    is behaving, mainly with respect to its effects

    upon life and human activities. The difference

    between weather and climate is that weatherconsists of the short-term (minutes to months)

    changes in the atmosphere. Most people think

    of weather in terms of temperature, humidity,

    precipitation, cloudiness, brightness, visibility,

    wind, and atmospheric pressure, as in high and

    low pressure.

    In most places, weather can change from

    minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day,

    and season-to

    -season. Climate, however, is

    the average of weather over time and space.

    An easy way to remember the difference is

    that climate is what you expect, like a very hot

    summer, and weather is what you get, like a

    hot day with pop-up thunderstorms.

    Things That Make Up Our Weather

    There are really a lot of components to weath-

    er. Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloudcover, winds, hail, snow, sleet, freezing rain,

    flooding, blizzards, ice storms, thunderstorms,

    steady rains from a cold front or warm front,

    excessive heat, heat waves and more.

    In order to help people be prepared to face all

    of these, the National Oceanic and Atmospher-

    ic NWS also issues a lot of notices

    Who is the National Weather Service?

    According to

    their mission

    statement,

    "The National

    Weather

    Service pro-

    vides weather,

    hydrologic,

    and climate

    forecasts and

    warnings for

    the United

    States, its

    territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas,for the protection of life and property and the

    enhancement of the national economy. NWS

    data and products form a national information

    database and infrastructure which can be

    used by other governmental agencies, the

    private sector, the public, and the global

    community."

    To do their job, the NWS uses radar on theground and images from orbiting satellites

    with a continual eye on Earth. They use

    reports from a large national network of

    weather reporting stations, and they launch

    balloons in the air to measure air temperature,

    air pressure, wind, and humidity. They put all

    this data into various computer models to give

    them weather forecasts. NWS also broadcasts

    all of their weather reports on special NOAA

    weather radio, and posts them immediately on

    their Interactive Weather Information Network

    website at:http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/

    What Climate Means

    In short, climate is the description of the long-

    term pattern of weather in a particular area.

    Some scientists define climate as the average

    weather for a particular region and time

    period, usually

    taken over 30-

    years. It's really

    an average

    pattern of weath-

    er for a particular

    region.

    When scientists

    talk about

    climate, they're

    looking at aver-

    ages of precipita-

    tion, temperature, humidity, sunshine, windvelocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and

    hail storms, and other measures of the weath-

    er that occur over a long period in a particular

    place. For example, after looking at rain

    gauge data, lake and reservoir levels, and

    satellite data, scientists can tell if during a

    summer, an area was drier than average. If it

    continues to be drier than normal over the

    course of many summers, than it would likelyindicate a change in the climate.

    Administration's (NOAA) National Weather

    Service (NWS), the lead forecasting outlet for

    the nation's weather, has over 25 different

    types of warnings, statements or watches that

    they issue. Some of the reports NWS issues

    Why Study Climate?

    The reason studying climate and a changing

    climate is important, is that will affect people

    around the world. Rising global temperatures

    are expected to raise sea levels, and change

    precipitation and other local climate conditions.

    Changing regional climate could alter forests,crop yields, and water supplies. It could also

    affect human health, animals, and many types

    of ecosystems. Deserts may expand into exist-

    ing rangelands, and features of some of our

    National Parks and National Forests may be

    permanently altered.

    The National Academy of Sciences, a lead

    scientific body in the U.S., determined that the

    Earth's surface temperature has risen by about

    1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, with

    accelerated warming during the past two dec-

    ades. There is new and stronger evidence that

    most of the warming over the last 50 years is

    attributable to human activities. Yet, there is

    still some debate about the role of natural cy-

    cles and processes.

    Human activities have altered the chemical

    composition of the atmosphere through the

    buildup of greenhouse gases primarily

    carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

    The heat-trapping property of these gases is

    undisputed although uncertanties exist about

    exactly how Earth's climate responds to them.According to the U.S. Climate Change Science

    Program (http://www.climatescience.gov),

    factors such as aerosols, land use change and

    others may play important roles in climate

    change, but their influence is highly uncertain

    at the present time.

    Who Studies Climate Change?

    Modern climate prediction started back in thelate 1700s with Thomas Jefferson and contin-

    ues to be studied around the world today.

    At the national level, the U.S. Global Change

    Research Program coordinates the world's

    most extensive research effort on climate

    change. In addition, NASA, NOAA, the U.S.

    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and

    other federal agencies are actively engaging

    the private sector, states, and localities in

    partnerships based on a win-win philosophy

    and aimed at addressing the challenge of glob-

    al warming while, at the same time, strengthen-

    ing the economy. Many university and private

    scientists also study climate change.

    Mark your calendars; October 20, 2020 will be aday of celebration you should not miss.Theres a chance you missed this event last fall.Thanks to Dr. Wolfers for reporting on theannouncement in the International New YorkTimes on October 20, 2015.

    Numbers Take a Star Turn on World

    Statistics Day

    OCT. 20, 2015

    Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfersThat special tingly feeling youre enjoying rightnow? Its because today is World Statistics Day.

    And what better way to celebrate this specialday than by running the numbers?

    This is only the second World Statistics Day.

    The first was held five years ago, on Oct. 20,2010, a date with far greater resonance incountries where calendar convention puts theday ahead of the month: 20/10/2010.

    The United Nations General Assembly was suffi-ciently pleased by the fact that 130 membernations celebrated that inaugural data day thatthey followed up with General Assembly resolu-tion 69/282, which decided that henceforth everyOct. 20 occurring in a year divisible by fivewould be a World Statistics Day.

    The resolution establishing World Statistics Daywas initially sponsored by 72 member stateslater an additional 25 sponsors joined in. Thus,50.2 percent of the U.N.s 193 member nationssponsored the resolution, which was eventuallyadopted without a vote. While American statisti-cians including our own Census Bureau are enthusiastically celebrating World StatisticsDay, it is worth noting that the United States isthe only country with a major economy that didnot sponsor the resolution.

    Despite our inaction, World Statistics Day hasjoined the exclusive list of 126 U.N.- designatedInternational Days celebrated this year, suggest-ing that today is more important than at leastthree-fifths of all other days.

    The United Nations does not formally rank therelative importance of these days, but astutestatisticians would note that their quinquennialcelebration is one--fifth as frequent as the

    annual World Migratory Bird Day, and theirday only takes one day, while the birds some-how stretch their celebration over two days. Bythis measure, you might infer that migratorybirds are 10 times more important than statis-tics.

    That said, World Migratory Bird Day has to

    share attention with U.N. Global Road SafetyWeek, while World Statistics Day has no suchweekly competitor, falling as it does betweenWorld Space Week and Disarmament Week.

    And while statisticians might be feeling excitedabout their big day, theyre getting less than0.3 percent of the recognition bestowed uponcamels, llamas and alpacas, whose achieve-ments will be celebrated all next year in theInternational Year of Camelids.

    But we statisticians take our recognition wherewe can get it. And the Secretary General of theUnited Nations, Ban Ki-moon, has issued amessage celebrating World Statistics Day, inwhich he lauds the importance of statistics foreconomic development. In making thatargument, he cited zero statistics.

    Service Above Self is the motto of the Rota-ry club and it could well be the motto of AllieHanna, a Stayton High School student who

    has been involved in five service groups andjust added one more to her list. Allie partici-pated in the RDI designed and delivered FordInstitute Leadership Program in 2014, andshe took the skills she learned in the trainingand applied them to the process of bringingan Interact group, a youth service club affiliat-ed with Rotary, to her school.

    Allie was a part of the second cohort of theStayton/Sublimity Ford Institute Leadership

    Program, and she found the program to be avery beneficial learning experience. Theaspects of the training that stuck with her themost were learning about personality typesthrough the Myers-Briggs assessment, inter-personal communications (including activelistening), and types of leaders. These topicshelped Allie understand how to work with peo-ple who are different than she is and how tomodify her leadership approach to accommo-date differences across personality types andgroup needs. Leaders sometimes need to be

    more authoritative (such as in an emergency),but leaders often can use other styles depend-ing on the situation. The course curriculumhelps participants determine the right leader-ship style to use in different situations.

    Allie wanted to find an opportunity for herselfand other students to have a hands-on way tohelp those in the community, so this fall, withthe help of her advisor, she brought theInteract Club to Stayton High School. Twenty-five students are already members of the

    group, with more students expressing interestin joining. Interact is open to students ages1218 and offers both an opportunity to workin partnership with Rotary and the chance tomake a difference while having fun.

    Every Interact club carries out two serviceprojects a year. According to Allie, Both thelocal and international project will benefit ourcommunity in different ways. The local onewill be more direct whereas the international

    one builds understanding and appreciation forother cultures. We are currently in the pro-cess of planning our local project, and are

    also currently carrying out our internationalproject. The groups project ideas includecreating care packages for the homeless anda project to benefit the residents of a sen-ior living facility in Sublimity. Interact mem-bers recently got together to make holidaycards to give to elderly veterans in the area.

    Allie is still involved with her leadership co-hort, which is in the process of constructing apavilion in Staytons Pioneer Park as a com-

    munity gathering place for events and celebra-tions. She is a part of the cohorts Public Rela-tions team, and she is looking forward to see-ing what her leadership cohort, and the StaytonHigh School Interact Club, will accomplish inthe future.

    RDIs programs serve community members ofall ages. Since our formation in 1991, RDI hasbeen building the capacity of rural leaders tomake the changes they wish to see in theircommunities. We partner with the Ford Institute

    for Community Building to design the curricu-lum and deliver theFord Institute LeadershipProgramgeared toward helping communitiesdevelop diverse, resourceful, and motivatedleaders.

    6 Things Great Leaders DoDifferently

    From : Forbes/Leadership JAN 13, 2016

    Travis Bradberry,CONTRIBUTOR

    Great leadership can be a difficult thing to pindown and understand. You know a great leaderwhen youre working for one, but even they canhave a hard time articulating what it is thatmakes their leadership so effective.

    It was recently rumored that Starbucks CEOHoward Schultz would run for president, butSchultz shut the idea down almost immediately.

    He wrote in an article:Despite the encouragement of others, I have nointention of entering the presidential fray. Im notdone serving at Starbucks.

    Schultz commitment to his company over thetemptation of the limelight is interesting.

    Whats admirable is his desire to be a leaderwho serves.

    Service isnt just something Schulz gives lipservice to in the press his mission is to create acompany where people are treated with respectand dignity, and he backs this rhetoric up withhis money and time. Starbucks will spend $250million over the next 10 years to put benefit-eligible employees through college, and Schultzwakes up every day at 4:00 a.m. to send motiva-tional e-mails to his employees (the email hewrote recently asking employees to showempathy for customers who have been affectedby the plummeting stock market is an interestingexample of this).

    Its through a leaders actionswhat he or shedoes and says on a daily basisthat theessence of great leadership becomes apparent.

    Dream more than others think practical. Expectmore than others think possible. Care more thanothers think wise. Howard Schultz

    Why Every Science

    Textbook Is Now Out of

    Date

    Arjun Kharpal

    News Assistant, CNBC EU News Digital Team

    Every single science textbook in the world isnow out of date after four new elements were

    added to the periodic table, finally completing

    the seventh row.

    Elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 were added

    at the very end of 2015, marking the first time

    new atoms have been added to the table since

    2011.

    The International Union of

    Pure and Applied Chemistry

    (IUPAC) deemed that there

    was sufficient evidence

    provided by the researchers

    to claim the discovery of the

    four new elements. It ap-

    proved the new elements on Dec. 30.

    Element 113, which has a temporary workingname of ununtrium and a symbol Uut, was dis-

    covered by a Japanese team at the Riken Insti-

    tute.

    Elements 115, 117, and 118, which have the

    temporary working names of ununpentium,

    ununseptium and ununoctium respectively, were

    discovered by Russian and American research-

    ers.

    The new elements, which are all man-made, fill

    out the seventh row of the periodic table, where

    elements are ranked according to their atomic

    number--

    the number of protons in their nucle-us.

    "The chemistry community is eager to see its

    most cherished table finally being completed

    down to the seventh row," Professor Jan Reed-

    ijk, president of the Inorganic Chemistry Division

    of IUPAC, said in a press release.

    "IUPAC has now initiated the process of formal-izing names and symbols for these elements

    temporarily named as ununtrium, (Uut or

    element 113), ununpentium (Uup, element 115),

    ununseptium (Uus, element 117), and ununocti-

    um (Uuo, element 118)" said Professor Jan

    Reedijk, president of the Inorganic Chemistry

    Division of IUPAC.

    New elements can be named

    after a mythological concept, a

    mineral, a place or country, a

    property or a scientist.

    The proposed names and two-

    letter symbols will be presented

    for public review for five months

    after which the IUPAC will make a final decision.

    Education giantPearsonsaid that it would make

    any changes to its textbooks.

    I remember thinking when I was in high schoolthat some education was going to prove to bea waste of time because new discoveries andinventions were going to change everything wethought was so. Here is my proof!Oh, well, Ill read history, because you cantchange history as long as it was told correctlyin the first place. Publisher

    arnings Potential Ranking

    ists Oregon Tech Top Public

    University in Oregon

    Dec 14, 2015Oregons only polytechnic university plac-

    es in the top third on all lists, and in thetop 16 percent of all U.S. schools based onmedian earnings

    A new ranking that evaluates the earningpotential of more than 1,400 four-year collegesand universities in the U.S. placed Oregon In-stitute of Technology (Oregon Tech) alumniamong the top of the list as the highest earninggraduates of any Oregon public university.

    Analyzed by the

    Georgetown Universi-ty Center on Educa-tion and the Work-force, the results arebased on the U.S. De-partment of Educa-tionsCollege Score-carddata.

    The rankings use alumni data to determinewhich schools yield the highest salaries, and

    provides three different lists to evaluate. Thefirst focuses purely on alumni earnings tenyears after beginning their studies the secondadjusts for choice of major or program (whichdiffer substantially for STEM and childhoodeducation majors at midcareer) and the finalranking accounts for earnings, choice of major,students academic preparation and likelihoodof graduate degree attainment.

    So, how did Oregon Tech do on all threelists?Oregons only polytechnic universityplaced in the top third on all lists, and inthe top 16 percent of all U.S. schoolsbased on median earnings.Oregon Techtops public Oregon universities on each list,and is the third highest median salaryofallOregon colleges and universities.

    Rank based on median earnings: 232

    Rank based on major-adjusted earnings: 470

    Rank based on earnings adjusted for academic

    preparation and graduate degree attainment:

    443

    Median earning of $50,100Oregon Tech President, Chris Maples is proudof the new ranking: The average debt a stu-dent incurs continues to rise across Oregonand the U.S., which makes the big picture of

    earning potential very important to the studentswho we currently serve, and future genera-tions. We pride ourselves on hands-on educa-tion, internships, and externships, which pro-vide our students with a greater chance of ex-celling quicker within their professions upongraduating.

    This ranking comes on the foot tails of the SocialMobility Index (SMI) fromCollegeNET. The So-

    cial Mobility Index

    measures the extent towhich a college or uni-versity educates moreeconomically disadvan-taged students (withfamily incomes belowthe national median) atlower tuition, so they

    can graduate and obtain good paying jobs, ac-cording to its website. The SMI lists OregonTech at #37 out of 931 schools with data collect-ed through sources such asPayscaleand theIntegrated Postsecondary Education Data Sys-tem.

    Other top rankings this year include,U.S. Newsand World Report#1 Top Public West RegionalCollege, #5 Best West Regional Col-legePayScale#18 Annual Return on Invest-ment andForbes#98 Top Colleges in the West,#527 Top Colleges in the Nation.

    Founded in Klamath Falls in 1947, Oregon Institute of

    Technology is the only public 4-year institute of technology

    in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon Tech provides degree

    programs in engineering and health technologies, man-

    agement, communication, and applied sciences that pre-

    pare students to be effective participants in their profes-

    sional, public, and international communities through

    hands-on learning. Oregon Tech has a full-service, resi-

    Klamath County

    Klamath County305 Main St, Ste 224Klamath Falls, OR 97601(541) 883-5100www.klamathcounty.org

    Population:66,910 (2014)

    Square Miles: 6,135

    Year Established: 1882

    The 1890 census cited a population of 2,444.

    Since then the county has experienced steadygrowth. The 2011 population of 66,580 repre-sented a 0.3% increase from 2010.

    Historically, Klamath County's economy hasbeen based on timber and agriculture. Three-fourths of the county is forested however, overhalf of it is publicly owned. The large stands oftimber resulted in the development of woodproducts industries in the county. In spite of thehigh altitude, short growing season, low rain-

    fall, and cold winters, agricultural has played

    an important role in the local economy. Excel-lent soil, a network of irrigation, extensive sun-shine, and the introduction of cash crops suchas potatoes and feed barley have contributedto the agricultural industry. However, in recentyears water rights issues have clouded the sit-uation, with agricultural uses being challengedby tribal and environmental concerns. Themany lakes and mountains, including CraterLake National Park, attract tourists and recrea-tional visitors to the county.
