Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashok is a Nepalese father and husband who one day decides to leave his small hamlet to seek a better life in the outside world. He travels with the hope of finding a secure financial form of survival, and his wife and children are always on his mind. However, from Lhasa to Antananarivo to Johannesburg, Ashok finds nothing but difficulty. Happiness and peace are elusive, but Ashok continues his travels as a migrant worker. He moves along the valleys by the mountains of Tibet, far beyond his birthplace. He finds a strange sort of love with a woman half his age. He sees death, but he also finds life as his explorations take him further than he could have imagined. Yet, Ashok remains unfulfilled, no matter how hard he searches for peace. It will take a path laden with many trials to teach him that escaping the past does not always mean a bright future. Will he continue to wander, hopelessly alone, or will Ashok eventually return to his tiny hamlet and find the vocationand adorationthat can make his dreams come true?

Download or read book Rain Formation in Warm Clouds written by A. M. Selvam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to promote the understanding of some of the basic mathematical and scientific issues in the subjects relating to climate dynamics, chaos and quantum mechanics. It is based on substantial research work in atmospheric science carried out over twenty years. Atmospheric flows exhibit self similar fractal fluctuations, a signature of long-range correlations on all space-time scales. Realistic simulation and prediction of atmospheric flows requires the incorporation of the physics of observed fractal fluctuation characteristics in traditional meteorological theory. A general systems theory model for fractal space-time fluctuations in turbulent atmospheric flows is presented and applied to the formation of rain in warm clouds. This model gives scale-free universal governing equations for cloud growth processes. The model predicted cloud parameters are in agreement with reported observations, in particular, the cloud drop-size distribution. Rain formation can occur in warm clouds within 30 minutes as observed in practice under favourable conditions of moisture supply in the environment. Traditional cloud physical concepts for rain development requires over an hour for a full-sized raindrop to form. The book provides background reading for postgraduate students of Meteorology, Atmospheric Sciences/Physics, Environmental Sciences, and scientists working in the field of the topic of the book as well as the multidisciplinary field of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos.

Download or read book The Global Monsoon System written by Chih-Pei Chang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a current review of the science of monsoon research and forecasting. The contents are based on the invited reviews presented at the World Meteorological Organization''s Fourth International Workshop on Monsoons in late 2008, with subsequent manuscripts revised from 2009 to early 2010. The book builds on the concept that the monsoons in various parts of the globe can be viewed as components of an integrated global monsoon system, while emphasizing that significant region-specific characteristics are present in individual monsoon regions. The topics covered include all major monsoon regions and time scales (mesoscale, synoptic, intraseasonal, interannual, decadal, and climate change). It is intended to provide an updated comprehensive review of the current status of knowledge, modeling capability, and future directions in the research of monsoon systems around the world.
