Strontium (Sr) is a divalent metal, with face centered cubic structure, density 2.60 gcm-3 and molar mass 87.6?

Strontium (Sr) is a divalent metal, with face centered cubic structure, density 2.60 gcm-3 and molar mass 87.6 g. a Calculate the atomic density, the number of atoms per unit volume for Sr b Determine the lateral dimensions of the conventional fcc unitary cell. c Using the free electron model at T=0, calculate the Fermi [...]

How can this paper not have an effect on the current climate debate.?

People are saying that this paper is irrelevant in the current climate debate because in its conclusion it states that solar forcing is not responsible for the late 20th century warming. http://icecap.us/images/uploads/ScienceSunspotsandclimate.pdf In its thesis statement they state: "Two mechanisms, the top-down stratospheric response of ozone to fluctuations of shortwave solar forcing and the bottom-up [...]

how can I select the best global climate model (GCMs)?

I want to study on glimate change and I want to select one GCM to start.

Who is responsible for QA(Quality Assurance), i.e. testing, the GCM's (Global Climate Models), who SHOULD be?

"The results of my direct correspondence about these matters with several of the US agencies and personnel involved in GCM development and applications, and analyses of CO2 and Climate Science, with a strict focus on software Verification and SQA, have shown that Verification and SQA are not considered necessary aspects of any analyses of these [...]

Why don't any GCM's assume rising temperature is cause for increasing CO2?

It seems to me that every GCM(Global Climate Models) assumes that CO2 is a driving factor. Why has nobody tried making a model that assumes the opposite. Although this would not provide conclusive proof of a causal relationship at least then the modelers would be covering both bases. As the saying goes assume makes an [...]

What is causing polar areas to warm faster than other areas of the Earth, if CO2 levels are rising uniformly ?

I have a few vague ideas about why this may be happening – but I have yet to find a straightforward explanation for it in the literature. The GCM models have predicted that warming should be more dramatic around the poles, but again, what would cause this?

Aren't climate model predictions the foundation for CO2 reduction policies?

The GCM (climate models) have taken a beating in the past but have somehow always bounced back as the foundation for future climate projections (and thus CO2 reduction policies). Will this latest beating change anything? http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sceptic-rubbishes-computer-modelling-on-climate-change/story-e6frg6xf-1225827285274

What factors do Global Climate Models (GCM) take into account?

I’m doing a Global Warming speech and need to find out what factors (i.e. The sun, atmosphere, cycles, la nina, el nino, what not) the model takes into account. More specifically, what factors does the climate model the IPCC uses account for? The source of your info is extremely required, ’cause I need to cite [...]

Which diagnostic code reader do I need for a '96 Ford?

I purchased a Equus 3145 code reader for my ’96 Taurus. I didn’t realize OBDII codes were only for pre-96 cars. What protocol is used for ’96 and later Fords?
