Abstract

Much attention has been paid to the ways that people’s home energy use, travel, food choices and other routine activities affect their emissions of carbon dioxide and, ultimately, their contributions to global warming. However, the reproductive choices of an individual are rarely incorporated into calculations of his personal impact on the environment. Here we estimate the extra emissions of fossil carbon dioxide that an average individual causes when he or she chooses to have children. The summed emissions of a person’s descendants, weighted by their relatedness to him, may far exceed the lifetime emissions produced by the original parent. Under current conditions in the United States, for example, each child adds about 9441 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the carbon legacy of an average female, which is 5.7 times her lifetime emissions. A person’s reproductive choices must be considered along with his day-to-day activities when assessing his ultimate impact on the global environment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

15. Geographical Variability of the First Baroclinic Rossby Radius of Deformation

Author

Chelton, Dudley B., deSzoeke, Roland A., Schlax, Michael G., El Naggar, Karim, and Siwertz, Nicolas

Abstract

Global 1° × 1° climatologies of the first baroclinic gravity-wave phase speed c1and the Rossby radius of deformation λ1are computed from climatological average temperature and salinity profiles. These new atlases are compared with previously published 5° × 5° coarse resolution maps of λ1for the Northern Hemisphere and the South Atlantic and with a 1° × 1° fine-resolution map of c1for the tropical Pacific. It is concluded that the methods used in these earlier estimates yield values that are biased systematically low by 5%–15% owing to seemingly minor computational errors. Geographical variations in the new high-resolution maps of c1and λ1are discussed in terms of a WKB approximation that elucidates the effects of earth rotation, stratification, and water depth on these quantities. It is shown that the effects of temporal variations of the stratification can be neglected in the estimation of c1and λ1at any particular location in the World Ocean. This is rationalized from consideration of the WKB approximation.
