Wind Chill Temperature Index - National Weather Service

how cold air feels on human skin. The former index used by the United States and Canada was based on 1945 research of Antarctic explorers Siple ... As a result, the previous wind chill index underestimated the time to freezing and overestimated the chilling effect of the wind. The current index is based on heat loss from exposed skin and was ...

Heat and Cold Stress - Ohio State University

Heat Index – The Heat Index is a single numeric value that uses both temperature and humidity to inform the public on how the weather outdoors “feels”. The higher the Heat Index, the hotter the weather feels. OSHA has used the Heat Index to assign protective measures for workers as the Heat Index increases.

Phase diagram of water - Columbia University

Water has a high specific heat index. It takes much more heat to raise the temperature of a volume of water than the same volume of air. This is why water is used as a coolant. This property of water is a major determinant of global climates and rates of global climate change - changes in temperatures are gradual - “lake” effects

States of Matter - NASA

Most of Earth's water (97%) is in the ocean. Seawater has unique properties: it is saline, its freezing point is slightly lower than fresh water, its density is slightly higher, its electrical conductivity is much higher, and it is slightly basic. Circulation in the ocean depends in part on differences in density of the water. Water with more

Maximizing the Nutritional Value of Fruits and Vegetables

days if transported by air freight to several weeks if sent by refrigerated ship. At the retail store, fruits and vegetables may spend 1–3 days on display prior to being purchased by the consumer, who may store them for up to 7 days prior to consumption. This means that fresh fruits and vegetables may not be consumed for a significant
