Climate and oceanography Sample Clauses

Climate and oceanography. The atmospheric processes that influence climatic conditions in the region of the proposed TBCA are driven by processes that originate across the Indian Ocean (both north and south of the equator) as well as by processes that originate in the Pacific Ocean and that are transmitted into the Indian Ocean through so-called teleconnections (e.g. the Indonesian Through-flow (ITF) and El Niño/La Niña (Xxxxxxxx and Samoilys, 2015). The main features of the climate in the area of interest are the Monsoons. During the austral winter (~May-October) the south-easterly Trade Winds (SE Monsoon) are dominant as a result of the (boreal summer) heating of the large landmasses of the Indian Subcontinent and Asia. During the austral summer (~November-April) however, the SE Trades are weaker and the monsoon reverses due to significant (boreal winter) cooling of the Indian Subcontinent and Asia, leading to the dominance of north-easterly Trade Winds (NE Monsoon) (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 2015). The rainfall in the region is seasonal. Rainfall is lowest during the SE Monsoon months of May/June through September/October. The major rains fall during the NE Monsoon, with the so-called ‘short rains’ over the months of October through November, and the main wet season (long rains) being from February/March to May, as the NE Monsoon subsides (Figure 3). Mean annual rainfall ranges between 1000mm and 1 600mm.

  • Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.

The Auditor will have sufficient knowledge and experience in website accessibility for people with disabilities to carry out all related tasks, including developing a Proposed Corrective Action Plan. The Audit will use the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set out above, unless the Recipient receives prior permission from OCR to use a different standard as a benchmark.
