Download or read book The Weather Machine written by Andrew Blum and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather, the people behind it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet, behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of both science and global cooperation. But what is the weather machine, and who created it? In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through the people, places, and tools of forecasting, exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict. As he travels across the planet, he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere, while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecasters. In the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change, correctly understanding the weather is vital. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our changing relationships with technology, the planet, and our global community.

Download or read book Satellite Observations of the Earth s Environment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses the transition of research satellites, instruments, and calculations into operational service for accurately observing and predicting the Earth's environment. These transitions, which take place in large part between NASA and NOAA, are important for maintaining the health, safety, and prosperity of the nation, and for achieving the vision of an Earth Information System in which quantitative information about the complete Earth system is readily available to myriad users. Many transitions have been ad hoc, sometimes taking several years or even decades to occur, and others have encountered roadblocksâ€"lack of long-range planning, resources, institutional or cultural differences, for instanceâ€"and never reached fruition. Satellite Observations of Earth's Environment recommends new structures and methods that will allow seamless transitions from research to practice.

Download or read book Agrometeorology at glance written by Dr. Deban Kumar choudhary and published by Perfect Writer Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather and climate are common terms to know about the ambient conditions of the environment of any region. Weather is fast changing everywhere in this world. Anthropogenic i.e., human activities especially use of fossil fuel namely coal, petroleum products and modern artificial chemical viz. CFC, CH4, SO3; N2O etc. fueled this climatic change in 21st century. The elements of weather such as solar radiation, air temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind movement, relative humidity, precipitation and clouds are bases to understand the weather and climate of any part of this planet earth. In fact, weather affect equally both to living as well as non-living component of earth. Change in the nature of the physical and living component of earth that is due to land degradation, deforestation, emission of greenhouse gas, industrialization and urbanization etc. has marked influence on earth’s ecology and environment. As climate affect our each and every aspect of growth and development and hence understanding environment is of paramount importance for scientific and balanced development of modern human society. Therefore, keeping all these in mind, it is our sincere efforts to mention almost all relevant topics and provide easy and simple material in grasping form for all concerned to understand the complex nature of earth’s environment.
