Product Description
'Meteorology' is Aristotle's treatise on meteorological sciences. Despite being written in classical antiquity, Aristotle makes some interesting early observations on weather phenomenon, water evaporation, and earthquakes. Anyone engaged in the study of the atmospheric and meteorological sciences, or those just interested in weather in general, will find that the historical perspective of this volume is of much interest. ...

Product Description
Staying out of thunderstorms takes resolve and savvy. This book explains why, when, and where these weather hazards are likely to develop and gives practical advice on flying clear of them. Storms defy precise definition, so it is up to individual pilots to use what they know to make good decisions that lead to a safe flight. The dynamics of thunderstorms, wind shear, and other related phenomena are described. There is also a guide for a systematic pre-takeoff weather briefing in which all available weather data are correlated to forecast storm location and severity. ... Read more

Product Description
These four bodies are fire, air, water, earth. Fire occupies the highest place among them all, earth the lowest, and two elements correspond to these in their relation to one another, air being nearest to fire, water to earth. The whole world surrounding the earth, then, the affections of which are our subject, is made up of these bodies. ... Read more

Product Description
From the single question, "What is the physical origin of the biennial oscillation (the biennial change in wind direction from westerly to easterly) in the tropical stratosphere?" grew this study, the most extensive ever undertaken of the tropical atmosphere on a general circulation scale. It is based mainly on a worldwide sample of free air balloon data collected for the period 1957-1964, as well as classical surface observations. As Professor Newell explains in the preface, "We aimed for a relatively long period of record to ensure sampling several cycles of the biennial oscillation, and we tried to include all available data for the region 40° N to 40° S. It soon became clear, as we processed the data, that other items of interest could be investigated as well as the biennial oscillation. The semiannual oscillation in both troposphere and stratosphere, changes thought to be due to the Bali volcanic eruption of March 1963, the basic climatology of the tropics in terms of vertical motion and rainfall and their year-to-year changes, the genesis of hurricanes, the detailed time evolution of the Hadley cell circulation,...and many other items all proved of interest."

The first part of this study, which will shortly include a second volume, contains chapters on the sources, processing, and analysis of the data; mean temperature and wind fields; the angular momentum budget and the maintenance of the zonal wind; and seasonal variation of humidity parameters.

Volume 2 will continue with chapters on radiative heating; the heat budget; atmospheric energy balance; cloudiness, precipitation, and vertical motion; annual, semiannual, and biennial oscillations and long-term changes including those brought about by volcanic effects; and large-scale wave disturbances in the tropical stratosphere. Throughout both volumes a set of over 250 climatological maps forms the basic presentation. ... Read more

Product Description
Weather forecasting and climatology have traditionally been using the world's fastest supercomputers. The recent emergence of massively parallel supercomputers as likely successors to current vector supercomputers has created an acute need to convert weather and climate models to suit parallel supercomputers with thousands of processors. Several major efforts are underway worldwide to accomplish this. ECMWF has established itself as the central venue for gathering together operational weather forecasters, climate researchers and parallel computer manufacturers to share their experience on these efforts every second year. The recent dramatic changes in supercomputer manufacturing have made the 1992 meeting timelier than ever before. ... Read more
