Environmental Satellites Weather and Environmental Information Systems


Free Download Vincent L. Webber, "Environmental Satellites: Weather and Environmental Information Systems "
English | ISBN: 1606929844 | 2009 | 112 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book provides information on the planned National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) program which is expected to be a state-of-the-art, environment-monitoring satellite system which will replace two existing polar-orbiting environmental satellite systems. The NPOESS program is considered critical to the United States’ ability to maintain the continuity of data required for weather forecasting (including severe weather events such as hurricanes) and global climate monitoring through the year 2026. Furthermore, this book evaluates the NPOESS program office’s progress in restructuring the acquisition, evaluates their progress in establishing an effective management structure, and assesses the reliability of the life cycle cost estimate and proposed schedule. This book also identifies the status and key risks facing the program’s major segments and evaluates the adequacy of the program’s efforts to mitigate these risks.

Polar Lows Mesoscale Weather Systems in the Polar Regions


Free Download Erik A. Rasmussen, John Turner, "Polar Lows: Mesoscale Weather Systems in the Polar Regions"
English | 2003 | pages: 624 | ISBN: 0511524978, 052118391X | PDF | 41,5 mb
Providing a comprehensive review of our understanding of the small, high latitude weather systems known as polar lows, Erik Rasmussen and John Turner describe the climatological distribution of these depressions. They cover observational investigations into their structure, the operational forecasting of polar lows and the theoretical research into why they develop. They also discuss the experiments that reveal that some polar lows can be predicted. This book is of value to researchers and professional weather forecasters concerned with polar regions.

The Weatherwomen Militant Feminists of the Weather Underground


Free Download Mona Rocha, "The Weatherwomen: Militant Feminists of the Weather Underground"
English | ISBN: 1476676658 | 2020 | 235 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Assertive, tough, and idealistic, the Weatherwomen-members of the Weather Underground Organization (WUO) from the late 1960s-were determined to stamp out sexism and social injustice. They asserted that militancy was necessary in the pursuit of a socialist revolution that would produce gender, racial, and class equality. This book excavates their long buried history and reclaims the voices of the Weatherwomen.

Weather Science How Meteorology Has Gone from Folklore to High-Tech [Audiobook]

Free Download Brian Clegg, Keith Wickham (Narrator), "Weather Science: How Meteorology Has Gone from Folklore to High-Tech"

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it’s to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth’s weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes.
For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate – think of Michael Fish’s denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK’s great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers.
