The thermal parameters for comfort should be relatively uniform both spatially and temporally. Variations in heat flow from the body make the physiological temperature regulation more difficult. Nonuniform thermal conditions can lead to nonuniform skin temperatures. The active elements of the regulatory system may need to make more adjustments and work harder in order to keep thermal skin and body temperatures stable. To avoid discomfort from environmental nonuniformities, the temperature difference between feet and head should be less than about 3 °C (Fig. 5.9) and the mean surface temperature or radiant difference from one side of the body to the other should not he greater then about 10 °C. [Pg.187]

A two-point two-time PDF would be required to describe such spatial and temporal variations. [Pg.82]

Winds play a central role in inducing ocean currents and turbulent mixing. Winds themselves are a type of convection current generated by spatial and temporal variations in atmospheric heating. In the atmosphere, these air currents form the major wind... [Pg.67]

At sea level, Pj is approximately 1 atm, but exhibits some temporal and spatial variability. For example, the annual mean pressure in the northern hemisphere is 0.969 atm and in the southern hemisphere is 0.974 atm, with monthly averages varying by as much as 0.0001 atm, i.e., about 1 mbar (1 atm = 1013.25 mbar). These fluctuations are caused by spatial and temporal variations in atmospheric temperature and water vapor content associated with weather, and seasonal and longer-term climate shifts. Pj is also affected by diurnal atmospheric tides, and it decreases with increasing altitude above sea level. Some gases, such CO2 and O2, exhibit seasonal variability that is caused in part by seasonal variability in plant and animal activity (see Figures 25.4 and 6.7). [Pg.150]

Atmospheric methane has a mean 5 C-value of around —47%c (Stevens 1988). Quay et al. (1999) presented global time series records between 1988 and 1995 on the carbon and hydrogen isotope composition of atmospheric methane. They measured spatial and temporal variation in and D with a slight emichment observed for the southern hemisphere (—47.2%c) relative to the northern hemisphere (—47.4%o). The mean 5D was —86 3%c with a 10%o depletion in the northern relative to the southern hemisphere. [Pg.173]

The units of analysis should be determined by the needs of the assessment, not by the data that happen to be available. Careful consideration is required to identify which biological, spatial, and temporal units are appropriate for each assessment. This will depend on the nature and degree of spatial and temporal variation in the many factors that affect exposure and effects, including the following ... [Pg.17]

It has been argued that exposure of birds should usually be evaluated and effects predicted initially for individuals, and then used to evaluate consequences at larger scales (US SAP 1999), because it is individuals that experience mortality or fail to reproduce. Also, spatial and temporal variation in pesticide residues combined with... [Pg.17]

Spatial and temporal variation are major drivers of variability in risk. Research is required to develop the databases, models, and methods required to quantify their influence in risk assessment. [Pg.174]

In practical combustion systems, such as CO boilers, the flue gas experiences spatial and temporal variations. Constituent concentration, streamline residence time, and temperature are critical to determining an efficient process design. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and chemical kinetic modeling are used to achieve accurate design assessments and NO, reduction predictions based on these parameters. The critical parameters affecting SNCR and eSNCR design are listed in Table 17.4. [Pg.324]
