It's actually not that cloudy here - we just have lots of nice, white, puffy clouds on most days, but sometimes our camera capture image technology can make them seem more pronounced than they really are. Top

We do fly in cloudy conditions, depending on the height of the clouds. It adds to the beauty of the scenery, and often reduces the glare sometimes associated with bright unobstructed sunlight. top

YES! 70% to 80% of UV radiation can pass through thin clouds. On cloudy days your skin might feel cooler and because of this it is less likely you will notice you are getting burned, which can become quite a problem. It is true that the body needs a small amount of sunlight in order to produce vitamin D, however much less than it takes to get a tan.

There can be nearly an infinite number of reasons for water problems. Assuming the water has been ok up till now, some of the more common possibilities are, residual soap in swimwear, makeup or other personal hygiene products. Consider what has happened, or who has used the spa most recently. If the foam goes away shortly after turning off the jets, the cause is probably a saturation of total dissolved solids.

There could be many reasons for cloudy water. The Water Quality Assurance Lab will want to talk with you. They can answer your question. The number is 645-7691.

First, we'll assume that you're referring to the globe of your Lava Lamp. If that is in fact correct, the only reason the globe will become cloudy is if the motion lamp has been shaken, stirred, moved, dropped, or caught in an earthquake while the Lava Lamp blobs are warm. We're sorry to inform you that this is probably a permanent problem.

Usually this is because of poor filtration. The remedy for this is to increase the filtration running time and clean the filter. Occasionally the sand in the filter may need to be changed. The other main cause for cloudy water is a calcium build up from the use of granular chlorine. To handle this you will need to reduce the level of the water in your pool and top it back up with fresh water. You will also need to switch to using liquid chlorine.

Cloudy lamination is usually the result of insufficient heat. If the machine has a control to adjust the heat, try increasing the temperature. Also, if using a thermal pouch laminator, you may be using a laminating pouch that is too thick for the machine (some machines have pre-set temperatures designed to work with standard pouch films - usually 3 and 5mil).

It could be many things such as bacterial bloom if you have a new tank or the filter has been compromised, or a white precipitate in hard water where phosphate based pH adjuster has been used. Try asking one of the newsgroups, but remember to detail your specific circumstances so the cause can be pinned down for your situation.

Not necessarily. The effect of clouds on UV radiation is as varied as the clouds themselves. Fully overcast skies lead to reductions in surface UV irradiance. On average, scattered or broken clouds also cause reductions, but short-term or localised UV levels can be larger than for cloud-free skies if direct sunlight is also present.

Your local weather office is a good bet. You can track down your local weather office on the web starting from the World Meteorological Organization . Alternatively a local PV Organization may be of use to you.

The scientific reason for the cloudiness of tea is the precipitation of the tannins in the tea that occurs when the tea is cooled. Cloudiness does not affect the flavor of the tea. Add a small amount (1/4 cup) of boiling water into the brewed tea to help reduce the amount of cloudiness. With some iced tea makers, you may experience difficulties with starting a brewing cycle when you first begin using your Iced Tea Maker because the start button may be tight.

Air bubbles that have been formed during the manufacturing process can cause a cloudy appearance. These air bubbles are not harmful and will be easily eliminated with use as the water pushes the air out.

Cloudy water in a new tank is often a sign that you did not wash your gravel adequately. If you did, you may have a bacterial bloom. This bloom can be treated with products such as Acural F. For crystal clear water, an ultraviolet sterilizer is the best permanent cure.

Point-cloud image consists of abundant small points which are created by the special point-cloud converting software from a common two dimension or three dimension image. These points shall be engraved by laser machine according to the array order one by one. Each point will be burnt inside the transparent material, all the burnt points form the engraved image inside the crystal.

The heating of water by the solar system will obviously be affected. If it is so cloudy that energy received from the sun is almost zero, the output of solar collectors also will be nil. On partially cloudy days some output can be expected. But, the system can be designed with a suitable electrical back up heater to take care of hot water demand on cloudy days.

Water can be come cloudy for several reasons, but mainly overfeeding and overcrowding. Give me more details about your set-up (what size container, how many and how big are the creatures-guppies, platy, snail, etc).

Both active and passive solar water heating systems come with a 100% lifetime guarantee against freeze damage. The active and the passive solar water heating systems are both approved by the Florida Solar Energy Center for use in North Florida. Active solar systems have a conventional electric heating element to heat water on the few days that it might be needed.
