Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleet Numerical Weather Central (FNWC) wave period and height analyses for a selected grid point were verified by comparison with wave conditions recorded by a coastal wave sensor at San Clemente Island, California. Forty-six per cent of the FNWC wave heights were within plus or minus 1 foot of the recorded heights, 75% were within plus or minus 2 feet, and 91% were within plus or minus 4 feet. The FNWC heights were found to be over-six per cent of the FNWC periods were within plus or minus 1 second of the recorded periods, 45% were within plus or minus 2 seconds, 66% were within plus or minus 4 seconds, and 90% were within plus or minus 6 seconds. There was no tendency for FNWC to over or underpredict swell periods, but wind-wave periods were under predicted on the average by five seconds. (Author).

Book excerpt: (Black/White/Greyscale Edition) "If you don't like the weather in Ohio, just wait ten minutes." Weather is the one thing we all have in common. We all have to contend with that stuff churning around in the atmosphere. But what causes that weather? What forces are at work? Why does it happen when, where, and how it does? And can we actually predict what's going to happen in Central Ohio? Meteorologist Marshall McPeek takes us on a Central Ohio weather adventure to show us how the weather works and how we can prepare for what comes our way. The weather influences what we wear, how we behave, even what we talk about at chatty dinner parties. It's usually just part of the background in our busy, daily routines, but every now and then, Mother Nature makes a big fuss to make sure we're respectful. The weather is fascinating! Once we understand how difficult it is to create a single raindrop, we're blown away by the incredible power of our atmosphere!

Book excerpt: Global Weirdness summarizes everything we know about the science of climate change, explains what is likely to happen to the climate in the future, and lays out, in practical terms, what we can do to avoid further shifts. In sixty easy-to-read entries, Climate Central tackles basic questions such as: -Is climate ever “normal”? -Why and how do fossil-fuel burning and other human practices produce greenhouse gases? -What natural forces have caused climate change in the past? -What risks does climate change pose for human health? -What accounts for the diminishment of mountain glaciers and small ice caps around the world since 1850? -What are the economic costs and benefits of reducing carbon emissions? Illustrated throughout with clarifying graphics, Global Weirdness enlarges our understanding of how climate change affects our daily lives, and arms us with the incontrovertible facts we need to make informed decisions about the future of the planet, and of humankind.
Download or read book Red Weather written by Janet McAdams and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This trip wasn’t about her, her need to escape. She had been too young when it happened. Too young to understand what could be worth risking everything for. Even now they seemed naïve, foolish in their belief that anything could change. They had tried to save a generation. If she couldn’t save them, she might find a way to finish their story. Neva Greene is seeking answers. The daughter of American Indian activists, Neva hasn’t seen or heard from her parents since they vanished a decade earlier, after planning an act of resistance that went terribly wrong. Discovering a long-overlooked clue to their disappearance, Neva follows their trail to Central America, leaving behind an uncaring husband, an estranged brother, and a life of lukewarm commitments. Determined to solve the mystery of her parents’ disappearance, Neva finds work teaching English in the capital city of tiny Coatepeque, a country torn by its government’s escalating war on its Indigenous population. As the violence and political unrest grow around her, Neva meets a man whose tenderness toward her seems to contradict his shadowy political connections. Against the backdrop of Central American politics, this suspenseful first novel from award-winning poet Janet McAdams explores an important chapter in American Indian history. Through finely drawn, compelling characters and lucidly beautiful prose, Red Weather explores the journey from loss to possibility, from the secrets of the past to the longings of the present.

Download or read book From Research to Operations in Weather Satellites and Numerical Weather Prediction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-07 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop report examines the capability of the forecast system to efficiently transfer weather and climate research findings into improved operational forecast capabilities. It looks in particular at the Environmental Modeling Center of the National Weather Service and environmental observational satellite programs. Using these examples, the report identifies several shortcomings in the capability to transition from research to operations. Successful transitions from R&D to operational implementation requires (1) understanding of the importance (and risks) of the transition, (2) development and maintenance of appropriate transition plans, (3) adequate resource provision, and (4) continuous feedback (in both directions) between the R&D and operational activities.

Weather Bureau. Central Region and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The past winter was an extraordinary one, weatherwise, for most residents of the Upper Midwest. There were numerous heavy snowstorms in various sections of the area during the winter and more especially within the 75-day period beginning in mid-December and running through February. Some of these heavy snowstorms were widespread. A number of them were accompanied by strong winds and much drifting and blowing of snow resulting in blizzard or near blizzard conditions. Several were interspersed with ice storms in some localities. One of the cumulative effects of the numerous heavy snowstorms, accompanied by persistently below normal temperatures, has been the development of an unusually deep mantle of snow with a very high water content over much of the area. This has resulted in the imminence of severe flooding on many streams in the area of the Upper and Central Midwest as the spring snowmelt period begins to come to the area. The following sections and the accompanying figures and table point up the nature of the past winter's weather in the Upper Midwest and the seriousness of the flood situation that exists and is even now rapidly unfolding from the snowmelt"--Introduction
