Free Download ROBERT ELLIS, "PREDICTING STORMS: The Adventure Begins Ed 3"
English | ISBN: 0648107280 | 2024 | 154 pages | PDF | 19 MB
PREDICTING STORMS – The Adventure Begins Third Edition 2024. BY ROBERT ELLIS The full colour book shows ordinary people how to predict a storm long before it is even visible to radar or satellite. Many lives can be saved by using the simple rules explained in the book. As many as 500,000 people worldwide may die in large storms each year. Traditional weather forecasts can currently only give around 13 minutes’ lead time for tornadoes spawned by supercell thunderstorms. The Tornado Early Warning Rule published in this book gives at least 5 hours early warning of a deadly tornado from its rigid straight-line signature on a barograph. Your barometer will give you at least 24 hours early warning of an approaching hurricane making landfall. Third Edition features a breakthrough in storm early warning: Severe Thunderstorm Early Warning Rule, page 27.

The Westerbork Observatory, Continuing Adventure in Radio Astronomy


Free Download The Westerbork Observatory, Continuing Adventure in Radio Astronomy By Ernst Raimond, René Genee (auth.), Ernst Raimond, René Genee (eds.)
1996 | 266 Pages | ISBN: 9401072760 | PDF | 14 MB
A small country builds a world-class telescope in its backyard and lives happily ever after (or at least for a quarter century). That in a nutshell is the story told in this collection of essays. The country of course is the Netherlands, and the telescope is the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Tele scope (WSRT), brainchild of Jan Oort. Living happily in this context is a continuing record of discovery and as such also a continuing basis for se curing observing time on facilities in other countries and operating at other frequencies. As our community celebrates the Silver Anniversary of the radio tele scope at Westerbork, it is fitting that we pause to take account of the scientific discoveries and insights it made possible. Initially the instrument represented the very significant step away from university-run, specialist facilities to a well-supported, common-user radio imager also having spec tral and polarization capabilities. It pioneered the mode of operation now common for satellite observatories, in which data is taken and calibrated by technicians and provided to researchers ready for analysis. It has been a major source of discovery in, among other areas, research on neutral hy drogen and studies of dark matter in galaxies.
