The Electrical Infrastructure of Critical Facilities - ASCO Power Technologies
Critical facilities such as hospitals, police and fire stations, and even telecom sites and data centers, play vital roles in disaster response and recovery. This sector provides protection, communication, and emergency services essential to public safety and welfare. To meet the changing needs of society, this industry is evolving and so is its electrical infrastructure. I sat down with ...

Top 16 Weather Sensors in the Weather Station
Background: The weather sensors are the sensing end of the weather station and collect various weather-related data. The weather station can obtain the main parameters and information of the climate, all relying on the measurement of the sensor. These seemingly small parts are the basis for the normal operation of the weather station. They are like the front soldiers and stormtroopers of climate ...

Spotters in Lake Winnipesaukee with NERACOOS to improve the National Weather Service forecasts
The motivation for just about everything the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) does is quite simple: if the people who rely on ocean observing data have a problem, NERACOOS and their network of partners will try to fix it. Last month, NERACOOS got a chance to help the National Weather Service (NWS), one of the biggest users of ocean observing data, ...

Protecting your Shipping Cargo During Hurricane Season
Hurricane season is well underway, and with an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season predicted, shipping companies will need every resource to keep operating on schedule these next few months. Hurricanes can do significant damage to supply chains. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 caused the loss of more than 15,000 containers and flooded 16,000 new vehicles. And, as climate change contributes to more ...

What is Marine Weather and how can we Monitor it?
Expert marine modellers are engineering increasingly efficient tools and technologies to ensure smooth sailing on the high seas and innovate oceanographic research around the world. Drifting and moored buoys developed for durability and longevity are widely favored for their easy deployments. Marine weather forecasts that assimilate data from networks of low-cost in-situ sensors are uniquely ...

Port of Lyttelton - Sofar Ocean Spotter as primary offshore wave buoy
The safe navigation of vessels using the dredged channel requires the swell to be measured. This and other inputs allows dynamic under-keel clearance statistics to be calculated. An offshore buoy also allows the sea and wind state close to the pilot on/off boarding zone to be assessed. Decisions that influence the safety of these transfers are made using this information. We purchased a Sofar ...

How to Plan Ahead for Rougher and More Dangerous Coastal Storm Surges
Coastal storm surges caused by hurricanes and tropical storms are perhaps the most damaging part of these natural disasters. Hurricane Katrina led to an estimated $75 billion in damage in the New Orleans area alone, with at least 1500 deaths directly or indirectly resulting from the storm surge. Storm surges are likely to become more common — and more dangerous — as hurricanes and ...

How Data Can Reduce the Impact of Hurricanes
Tropical storm Henri made landfall this week, the second tropical storm to hit the Northeast following Elsa. These storms align with NOAA’s prediction of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season that is fueled by climate change and other factors. “ENSO-neutral and La Nina support the conditions associated with the ongoing high-activity era,” Matthew Rosencrans, the lead ...

5 Alternative Fuels to Effectively Lower Shipping Emissions
Progress toward decarbonization in the shipping industry will take a multi-pronged approach. The UN International Maritime Organization has set an ambitious goal to cut the maritime shipping industry’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least half by 2050; most experts agree that no single solution will help the industry reach that target. It will require a combination of technological ...

What is a Storm Surge and what Causes it?
are caused by the storm surge. Storm surges are dangerous not only for the abnormally powerful high tides that they produce but also for the lack of public awareness about how they work. Take, for instance, Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. When the tropical storm hit the Philippines, it brought a 7.5 meter storm surge to shore, causing the deaths of more than 7,000 people. Sadly, there were plenty of ...

How is Ocean Heat Content Measured?
A new report from the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that 2021 was the hottest year on record for our oceans. This is the sixth year in a row that a new high mark has been set, with 2021 data showing that the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean absorbed 14 more Zettajoules of heat energy than in 2020; for context, the total energy use for all humans globally in a single year is about 0.5 ...

Making Your Energy Work for You
Alexander Graham Bell (the telephone) and Thomas Edison (electricity) were two of the greatest groundbreaking pioneers in history. Imagine if the two were alive today to witness the evolution of their thinking. While the chances are pretty good that Bell would have no idea what a smartphone was, Edison’s electrical transmission lines are, conversely, still a mainstay today. Acknowledging ...

Sustainable Electricity: One Step Closer to a Green Future
The continuous rise in carbon dioxide emissions for the last 30 years has led to increased atmospheric temperatures today. And the environment is getting more and more polluted due to the rapid industrialization and usage of fossil fuels for energy production. That is why there is a growing global demand for sustainable electricity, ensuring access to clean and affordable energy in order to stop ...

Landfill Mining: the next step of resource recovery and utilization
Most of the landfill waste comes from the solid waste generated in the daily life of the city or the activities providing services for the daily life of the city. However, the number and scale of existing landfills are far from enough to meet the growing demand for urban waste, especially at a time when every city is trying to build a "green" livable city. Therefore, recycling landfill waste is ...

Guide to Vertical Farming
Vertical farming, also known as indoor farming, has gained a lot of recognition in recent years as a solid method of sustainability. Vertical farming has been conceived out of the challenges affecting the present, more specifically issues such as overpopulation, resource depletion, and food shortage.Vertical farming is the process of production of food that takes the form of vertically inclined ...

The Importance of Having a Cleanroom
Any industry where small particles interfere with manufacturing processes needs cleanroom panels within their systems. They control the contamination level as well as humidity, pressure and temperature in various factories. Most cleanrooms differ in size and complexity in that setting, such as those of a biotech or pharmaceutical industries have more controlled environments than others. Remember ...

Trends in the Energy Sector Digitalisation
As the intensifying debate around climate change amplifies, the energy sector is continuing its trend toward phasing out fossil fuels and moving towards reliance on renewable energy. The American Energy Information Administration (EIA) has reported that it expects about 65 GW of coal power to be retired between now and 2030 and that nearly 90 GW has already been phased out since 2011. The latest ...

A Change in Attitude is Key to Delivering a Sustainable Data Center Future
Digitization is viewed as a crucial pathway to a sustainable future, but it comes with its challenges. The burgeoning volume of data accumulated in the industrial sector, allied with the rapid growth of streaming content for consumers, is driving high demand for data center capacity. Recent forecasts suggest that by 2024 data centers will exceed 32 GW of electrical power, on par with that of a ...
