Maine agriculture is impacted by the changing climate that includes more hot days, droughts, increased flooding, and longer growing season. Some crops and farms could benefit from a longer growing season and more carbon dioxide in the air that increases plant growth. The rising temperatures are affecting the maple sugar season. [1]
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and most of interior western Massachusetts have a humid continental climate (Dfb under the Köppen climate classification). In this region, the winters are long, cold, and heavy snow is common, courtesy of both coastal and continental low pressure systems. Most locations in this region receive between 60 and 120 ...
Much of the Great Lakes has little ice cover, leaving the exposed water to warm the Arctic air somewhat. However, persistent cold air will cause the ice cover to increase substantially. As the ice ...
Where the cold is now: The surge of colder air has spread into the Plains, Midwest, Northeast and South behind Winter Storm Blair which departed the East Coast Monday night. You can see that in ...
A backdoor cold front captured by satellite (top-right) A backdoor cold front, or backdoor front, is a cold front moving south or southwest along the northeast of the Atlantic seaboard in North America, particularly in the New England region of United States and the Great Lakes. Typically occurring in spring, the front drives cool Atlantic air ...
The cold will be pervasive – more than 70% of the country’s population will experience freezing temperatures over the next week – and stick around well into the month, increasing chances for ...
In dry air, the adiabatic lapse rate (i.e., decrease in temperature of a parcel of air that rises in the atmosphere without exchanging energy with surrounding air) is 9.8 °C/km (5.4 °F per 1,000 ft). The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR), or moist adiabatic lapse rate (MALR), is the decrease in temperature of a parcel of water-saturated ...
A deadly storm that deluged much of the the Northeast has given way to frigid temperatures as tens of thousands of people grapple with no electricity in the cold.. More than 140,000 Maine power ...
