Analysis and discussion of the use of satellite observations and the fields of climatology where such observations have been of use.
This book presents developments of novel techniques and applies them in order to understand the interactions between thermally driven mesoscale flows (sea and mountain breezes) and the turbulent exchange within the atmospheric boundary layer. These interactions are not accuratel…
Though we commonly make them the butt of our jokes, weather forecasters are in fact exceptionally good at managing uncertainty. They consistently do a better job calibrating their performance than stockbrokers, physicians, or other decision-making experts precisely because they …
"In Masters of Uncertainty, Phaedra Daipha offers a new framework for understanding decision-making practice after spending years immersed in a northeastern office of the National Weather Service. Arguing that forecasters have made a virtue of the unpredictability of the weather…
The AMIP simulation from 1979 to 1988 by the UIUC 7-layer tropospheric general circulation model (GCM), using observed sea surface temperatures, did not reproduce the well-organized, intraseasonal oscillations that are observed in the tropics. Because the simulations of the osci…
How do meteorologists design forecasts for the next day's, the next week's, or the next month's weather' Are some forecasts more likely to be accurate than others, and why' Making Sense of Weather and Climate takes readers through key topics in atmospheric physics and presents a…
