The #snail #Arianta #arbustorum (#Helicidae, #Gastropoda) is a land snail (#Stylommatophora) that is quite common in #Berlin, especially in urban #forest areas. However, the snail is flexible in terms of its #ecological requirements and can also be found in open areas. It is widespread in Central Europe and northwestern Europe and primarily requires #moisture. It also appears in #mountainous areas of up to 2700 m. #biodiversity #Mollusca

[broadly, a 'seismic' listening technique could help researchers map water movement, moisture levels in soil, with these researchers at Caltech have figured out a way to use vibrations from passing cars to see how much water sits directly beneath the ground’s surface…]

DENSE FOG LIKELY:

A #Dense #Fog Advisory will be in effect for most of northwest #Wisconsin through mid-morning Wednesday.

Fog is already being reported due to the lingering #moisture from today's #showers and #thunderstorms. That along with #calm #winds will lead to reduced #visibility in spots.

I learned some days ago how #moisture gets trapped inside #sealed enclosures used for #electronics when exposed to daily cycles of heat and cold. 

The cold creates lower pressure inside. If that overpowers the seals, then outside air gets sucked in, carrying moisture. This extra moisture can condense inside and accumulate at the bottom. 

In the next warm part of the cycle, if some air is expelled because of the higher pressure, that moisture is not carried out because it is in a liquid state.

This is a common problem for people on chemo and many other medications, and also sometimes just a medical issue on its own.

You should be able to purchase nasal lubricant sprays or gels off the shelf at your local pharmacy. Oral ones are avail too.

BUT … at least in my part of the world, these are often just not avail. Unsure if always sold out now or supply-chain issues.

The Escalating Impact of #GlobalWarming on Atmospheric Rivers https://eos.org/research-spotlights/the-escalating-impact-of-global-warming-on-atmospheric-rivers paper: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023JD039359

"Ribbons of water vapor called #AtmosphericRivers wind through the troposphere, moving the planet’s #moisture from near the #equator toward the poles... Rising surface temperatures will continue to increase moisture content in the air, leading to a rise in atmospheric rivers overall"

Exciting news from Decentlab! Introducing our new product, the DL-SDD for LoRaWAN!

It measures soil moisture, temperature, and salinity at 6 depths / 60 cm or, on request, up to 12 depths / 120 cm.
Perfect not only for agriculture but also ideal for environmental monitoring and beyond.
