	Heat wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by excessive humidity.
		A severe heat wave in 2003 killed tens of thousands in Europe; much of the heat was concentrated in France, where nearly 20,000 people died.
		Heat waves are the most lethal type of weather phenomenon, overall.

	ScienceWeek
		Such waves travel faster along the axis of Earth's rotation (north-south) than in the equatorial plane (east-west), and this difference (called "seismic anisotropy") appears to increase with depth within the inner core and is patchy on a variety of length scales.
		Creager (Univ. Washington Seattle, US) reports a model that uses observations of particular seismic wave propagations and proposes that the inner core of the Earth is rotating 0.2 degrees to 0.3 degrees per year faster than the mantle.
		The US is the exception: in much of the US, teaching evolution as scientists see it -- particularly biological evolution -- to K-12 (age 5 to 18) students still evokes bitter controversy.

		But it is during the summer that we most feel impact of the urban heat island as it makes "walking on the sidewalks, hotter than a match head," and for that reason, I limit this discussion to the summer impacts of the urban heat island.
		The city heat was replacing solar heat as the initiation mechanism for cumulus growth and storm development, and its greatest contrast with surrounding regional conditions occurred in the early morning hours.
		Power problems might also strike other parts of the US if a prolonged heat wave were to settle over the eastern half of the nation, because approximately 1/6 of the United States electricity consumption is used to cool buildings.

		In the U.S., a heat burst near Cherokee, Okla., on July 11, 1909, is said to have raised the temperature to 136°F, instantly dessicating the crops at the center of the burst.
		Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are in place again for parts of the southern Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley.
		As a native of Pennsylvania, I'm not used to the combination of heat and humidity that is common in Mississippi in July and August.

	USITASE: US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition
		US ITASE also offers an important interactive venue for research (currently ten integrated science projects) similar to that afforded by oceanographic research vessels and large polar field camps, without the cost of the former or the lack of mobility of the latter.
		During the 2000-2001 US ITASE field traverse, six snow pits were sampled for stable isotopes and density to a depth of 2 meters and one pit at the proposed inland WAIS site was sampled to a depth of 3 meters.
		Major goals for the US ITASE traverse are to establish a picture of spatial variability in West Antarctica of peroxide and formaldehyde concentrations in the boundary layer and upper snowpack layers.

	Thousands die in European heat wave
		The heat wave has reignited debate over whether the high temperatures represent a normal fluctuation in the climate or are a symptom of global warming, with the overwhelming body of current evidence indicating the latter is the case.
		In the summer of 2001 a broad stretch of Mediterranean Europe was hit by the worst fires for decades and in 1997 large areas of Poland and Eastern Germany was hit by severe flooding.
		Despite some measures undertaken by the European Union since the fires of 2001, including increased satellite tracking of weather patterns, there was no adequate warning (not to speak of preventative measures) of the heat wave and its consequences.

	Eastern US Heat Wave of 2001 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After a rather cool summer along the East Coast of the United States, a ridge of high pressure centered off the coast of South Carolina brought high temperatures and high humidity.
		It began in early August for areas of the Midwest and western Great Lakes before spreading and intensifying.
		The high humidity and high temperatures led to major heat wave that overtook the major BosWash megacity of the Northeast.

	EPOC-2001 Abstracts
		Higher wave energy increases the capacity for critically stratified gravity flows to transport sediment to the mid-shelf and results in greater gradients in flux and hence deposition.
		Observations on many shelves, including those on the US west coast, indicate that the onset and duration of sediment transport events is usually determined by surface wave conditions, while the rate and direction of transport depend on the prevailing currents.
		The Upwelling pattern consists of a prevailing equatorward flow at the surface and at 45 m depth, except in the area immediately adjacent to the mainland coast in the SBC where the cyclonic circulation is strong enough to reverse the equatorward tendency, and the flow is towards the west.

	IRmep - Essay Part 1 "Who is Pushing for a US Invasion of Saudi Arabia?"
		There is a growing assumption on the part of members of the US Congress, US-Saudi diplomats, and the American public that the Bush administration is making a “turnaround” in US policy towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia because of neo-conservative and domestic interest group pressure.
		Up until 2001 and since the mid-nineties the US dealt directly with the Taliban for oil pipeline rights, agreeing to pay the Taliban tax on every one of the million cubic feet of fuel that would have passed through Afghanistan daily.
		Whatever inconsistencies exist between US public relations and the "war on terror", the efforts to tie the Saudi government or "Saudis" in general to terrorism is taking effect.
