Global warming affects the speed of Earth’s rotation

London – Egypt today

Lead Global Warming To slow the Earth’s rotation, which causes the Earth’s day to be lengthened. The reason for this is due to the strong winds caused by it, British scientists have discovered a surprising and completely unexpected result of global climate change. This discovery was made by Professor Adam Scaife of the University of Exeter. It turns out that global warming affects not only weather, rain and drought, but also the length of the day and the speed of the Earth’s rotation.

Scientists led by Adam Scaife have devised a complex mathematical model that allows to predict changes in the Earth’s rotation speed and the length of the day associated with it over a period of more than one year, which was previously considered impossible. In addition to gravity) and climate predictions.

Because of global warming, wind speed and direction are changing, as are the paths of hurricanes and anticyclones. This is an acknowledged fact that the wind is getting stronger and the atmosphere as a whole is moving faster, thus slowing down the Earth’s rotation on its axis a little bit. As a result, Earth days are getting longer. It is not about 25 hours instead of 24, but there is a difference of fractions of a second only.

Yes, the length of the day varies slightly. But such changes are important, for example, for the global positioning system (GPS) and other purposes for which accurate measurements are necessary. The model prepared by scientists has allowed to predict important changes in the weather On the entire planet as atmospheric jet currents and weather fluctuations in the North Atlantic region.
