New Sea Level Scenario Generator Software Considers Climate Change
A new software package has just been released on the World Wide Web that enables coastal zone managers, coastal zone property owners and any other people or organisations interested in coastal zone issues to create scenarios of future sea-level change at global, regional and local scales. The SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator software, found at http://www.climsystems.com/site/home/, provides an easy-to-navigate windows platform for creating a wide range of sea-level change scenarios using the latest scientific knowledge. The software is unique as it is the first of its type to provide users with the capacity to create scenarios of future sea-level anywhere in the world that take into account global, regional and local components of change. The SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator was designed by Drs. Richard Warrick and Wei Ye of the International Global Change Institute http://www.waikato.ac.nz/igci/ of the University of Waikato http://www.waikato.ac.nz/ Hamilton, New Zealand in collaboration with Dr.
Xianfu Lu of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
The SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator is part of an ongoing effort to design tools to aid decision making in a climate changed world. The software includes options for exploring global projections of sea-level change based on the latest available Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) greenhouse-gas emission scenarios marked by fundamentally different assumptions about fossil fuel consumption, demographic change and economic structures. A total of six emission scenarios (SRES) are included in the package and they can be queried for their associated changes in temperature, sea-level rise (total), sea-level rise (thermal expansion only) and CO2 concentration as produced by the MAGICC model for IPCC. For each SRES the program produces a graph of projections from 1990 to 2100 with low, medium and high estimates.The regional and local generation of sea-level scenarios occurs in a separate part of the program which includes a global spatial interface.
The method of scenario generation is ?pattern scaling' which combines the global-mean projections with regional patterns of change as produced by General Circulation models (GCMs). Users can move a cursor around a map of the world's oceans and quickly generate scenarios of sea level change. A tabular interface also allows users to choose the latitude and longitude of a local area of interest. Again, different greenhouse-gas emission scenarios can be queried and seven different GCM patterns can be selected from. Both tabular and graphical results can be displayed and can be copied, printed or saved as csv text files.The results generated by the SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator can be fine tuned by the incorporation of local sea-level trends (as from land moving up or down over the long term).
Many local authorities have access to these trends, as derived from tide-gauge records, and they are entered into the software. No other external data is required to run the software therefore scenarios of change can be quickly and easily generated with little external support. A comprehensive step-by-step user's guide is included with the software as is an overview of the methods used to derive the outputs.The SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator is the first software release of CLIMsystems Ltd. Future software releases will include CoastCLIM which interfaces with the SimCLIM Sea-Level Scenario Generator to assist users in assessing and simulating shoreline changes on beach and dune systems. SimCLIM software is also being readied for release for assessing risk and vulnerability of a wide range of systems as a result of climate change.

Portable Generators
Portable generators are used in homes and in places where there is no power or the need for power is minimum. Portable generators are generally smaller and are designed to use for a few. A portable generator of 5KW has enough power to keep lights, refrigerators, computers and televisions running for 7 to 8 hours. Portable generators are normally powered by gasoline, diesel, propane or natural gas. They are the most popular of all portable generators.
Gasoline generators are relatively less expensive but require frequent maintenance and have a shorter life span. Gasoline has a short shelf life and cannot be stored for a long time unless treated with stabilizers.
Diesel generators, on the other hand, are fuel-efficient, consume less fuel per kilowatt of power produced, have longer life and require less maintenance. Diesel can be stored for longer periods of time. However, they are harder to start in cold weather and noisy. Portable generators powered by natural gas...

Surviving an Ice Storm-Induced Power Outage
Chicago, IL (ContentDesk) December 2, 2004 -- Hurricane season may be officially behind us, but the threat of wide-spread power outages still loom in the horizon."Ice storms can snap power lines just as easily as any hurricane," said Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online emergency generator superstore.Surviving an ice storm-induced power outage is a lot different from the recent hurricanes in Florida, warns Hoch.
First, even is you have a natural gas furnance, it will not operate without electricity to power the blower. Secondly, if you try coping without the heat, the decrease in temperature could freeze your water pipes, causing them burst and flood your home. And finally, the days are much shorter, and the need for artificial light is even more critical.According to Hoch, you simply need a portable generator and a power transfer system to...

NaturalOzone.com Announces Product Expansion
(ContentDesk) July 11, 2004 -- NaturalOzone.com, an online retailer and distributor of ozone generators and machines, announces the addition of new products to its product line."We've been doing some research in our market and customers, and we've found a need to improve product variety," states Joseph Lutes, owner of Natural Ozone and NaturalOzone.comThe current product line at NaturalOzone.com are ozone generators with a production level from 300 mg/hour to 12000 mg/hour.
They are targeted to home users and industrial users."Basically, we found that even though we made sales to business owners and industrial users, we have room to improve in our home user market.
The prices and products are viewed to powerful and expensive", explains Lutes.The current price range for home user generators range from $460.35 to $621.71, with the exception of the ozone plugin, which is priced just over $100 dollars."There's a gap in prices there, and we want to fix it", says Joe.
