Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., la Agencia Espacial SANA, nos informa sobre un informe de los conductores de: NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), y The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) 2015, sobre el Cambio Climático en New York.
NASA, nos dice : "El Panel de la ciudad de Nueva York sobre el Cambio Climático (PNCC) 2015, co-presidido por un investigador de la NASA, publicó su último informe que detalla significativos futuros aumentos de la temperatura, las precipitaciones y el nivel del mar en el área metropolitana de Nueva York.
El informe tiene como objetivo aumentar la resistencia actual y futuro de las comunidades, los sistemas de toda la ciudad y la infraestructura en la región metropolitana de Nueva York a una serie de riesgos climáticos. Cynthia Rosenzweig, del Instituto Goddard de la NASA para Estudios Espaciales (GISS), Nueva York, co-presidentes del panel de la ciudad de Nueva York...."

NASA, agrega : " El PNCC fue fundada en 2008 para estudiar los efectos del cambio climático en la ciudad de Nueva York cinco condados y la región circundante. Como algunos de los principales científicos de la Tierra en el área metropolitana de Nueva York, los investigadores GISS han participado en los trabajos del grupo desde sus inicios. El modelo climático del GISS se utilizó en las proyecciones climáticas, y los científicos de GISS dirigió el equipo técnico, que analizó los datos científicos y desarrolló las proyecciones...."

The
New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) 2015, co-chaired by a NASA
researcher, published its latest report which details significant future
increases in temperature, precipitation and sea level in the New York
metropolitan area.
The report aims to increase current and future resiliency of the communities,
citywide systems and infrastructure in the New York metropolitan region to a
range of climate risks. Cynthia Rosenzweig of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies (GISS), New York, co-chairs the New York City panel.
The NPCC was founded in 2008 to study the effects of climate change on New
York City’s five boroughs and surrounding region. As some of the leading Earth
scientists in the metropolitan New York area, GISS researchers have been
involved in the panel’s work since its beginning. The GISS climate model was
used in climate projections, and scientists at GISS led the technical team,
which analyzed the scientific data and developed the projections.
“The NPCC is a prototype for how federal government scientists and municipal
policymakers can work together,” said Rosenzweig, who also is affiliated with
the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University’s Earth
Institute, New York. "This collaboration will help ensure that climate science
developed for the New York metropolitan region informs and draws from the best
available information, positioning residents and planners to confront expected
future changes in the most effective way possible."
Increasing temperature and heavier precipitation events, along with sea level
rise, are projected by the report to accelerate in the coming decades,
increasing risks for the people, economy and infrastructure of New York
City.
Specific report findings about local New York observations and projections
include:
- Mean annual temperature has increased a total of 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit (F)
from 1900 to 2013. Future mean annual temperatures are projected to increase 4.1
to 5.7 degrees F by the 2050s and 5.3 to 8.8 degrees F by the 2080s, relative to
the 1980s base period. The frequency of heat waves is projected to increase from
2 per year in the 1980s to roughly 6 per year by the 2080s.
- Mean annual precipitation has increased by a total of 8 inches from 1900 to
2013. Future mean annual precipitation is projected to increase 4 to 11 percent
by the 2050s and 5 to 13 percent by the 2080s, relative to the 1980s base
period.
- Sea levels have risen in New York City 1.1 feet since 1900. That is almost
twice the observed global rate of 0.5 to 0.7 inches per decade over a similar
time period. Projections for sea level rise in New York City increase from 11
inches to 21 inches by the 2050s, 18 inches to 39 inches by the 2080s, and, 22
inches to 50 inches, with the worst case of up to six feet, by 2100. Sea level
rise projections are relative to the 2000 to 2004 base period.
“Climate change research isn’t just something for the future,” said
Rosenzweig. “It’s affecting how key policy decisions are being made now. NASA is
proud to work with New York City and other intergovernmental entities to provide
world-class science.”
The report also uses NASA Landsat 7 data to map the surface temperature of
mid-town Manhattan and show the cooling effect of Central Park. The Climate
Impacts Group at GISS, led by Rosenzweig, provided technical support for the
report.
NASA has a Climate Adaptation Science Investigator (CASI) program that is
geared toward evaluating the risks facing NASA facilities due to climate
change. The GISS Climate Impacts Group is using processes and lessons learned
during its work with the NPCC to support the CASI program. And CASI research
focusing on the advance of key NASA products related to climate adaptation could
also have future applications benefiting New York City. In addition, the
proposed "Climate Change Resilience Indicators and Monitoring System" will
utilize NASA data observations and measurements to help the city manage climate
risk.
GISS is a laboratory in the Earth Sciences Division of NASA’s Goddard Space
Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland and is affiliated with the Earth Institute
and School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University.
NASA monitors Earth's vital signs from land, air and space with a fleet of
satellites and ambitious airborne and ground-based observation campaigns. NASA
develops new ways to observe and study Earth's interconnected natural systems
with long-term data records and computer analysis tools to better see how our
planet is changing. The agency shares this unique knowledge with the global
community and works with institutions in the United States and around the world
that contribute to understanding and protecting our home planet.
