Controlled-environment agriculture(CEA) is the practice of growing plants indoors using engineering, plant science, and computer-managed greenhouse control technologies to optimize plant growth, quality, and production efficiency. By controlling temperature, light, carbon dioxide, and the root-zone growing medium, CEA can result in healthy and year-round production of edible, ornamental, and high value plants. 2, record 1, English, - controlled%20environment%20agriculture

Climate models use data on greenhouse gas concentrations observed in the past and estimated over the coming decades to see how these concentrations influence the climate. This creates a virtual modeled conditions of the temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, etc., at different points in space and time.

humidity mixing ratio. The mass of vapor as a fraction of the mass of dry air with which it is mixed in a moist air parcel. Numerically indistinguishable from specific humidity in all but the most humid air. 3, record 11, English, - humidity%20ratio
Record number: 11, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Humidity ratio is not affected by a temperature change unless it drops below the saturation temperature. Humidity ratio is useful in calculating the amount of moisture involved in a process, such as the amount removed by ventilating a stable or the amount added by an evaporative cooler used in a greenhouse. Humidity ratio is expressed as lb of water vapor per lb of dry air. Older references used grains of vapor per pound of dry air(7000 grains equal 1 lb.). 4, record 11, English, - humidity%20ratio

The mean surface temperature for the entire world, 14°C is almost 40°C higher than the mean temperature required for radiative equilibrium of a black body at the earth's mean distance from the sun.

Solar distillation. The solar distillation process makes use of the fact that water will evaporate from a free surface at a temperature below its boiling point. A simple solar still [acts as a greenhouse]. The sun's rays pass through a sloping glass cover... The solar energy is absorbed by a black basin in the bottom of the still,... the heated water evaporates..., rises to the top... and condenses. The condensate-fresh water-trickles down... to a collecting trough. 2, record 13, English, - solar%20distillation

La nouvelle Bourse, qui s'appellera le Marché climatique de Montréal, se concentrera d'abord sur les produits dérivés liés aux permis d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Plus tard, elle pourra lancer d'autres produits environnementaux dérivés.
