Development and Implementation of an Isentropic Potential Vorticity Algorithm for use at Air Force Global Weather Center
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423567323 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A881323. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis presents and validates methods for calculating isentropic potential vorticity (IPV) and applies these methods in software programs planned for implementation at the Air Force Global Weather Center (AFGWC). The IPV programs will provide Air Force Weather forecasters additional tools to diagnose atmospheric kinematics and understand atmospheric dynamics. A FORTRAN program is recommended using mandatory-level isobaric data projected to be available on AFGWC computer systems, specifically, from the Navy Operational Global Atmosphere Prediction System and Medium Range Forecast models. Program development and analysis consists of three main steps: (1) data retrieval; (2) IPV calculations; and, (3) interpolation to an isentropic vertical coordinate system. This thesis recommends performing IPV calculations at constant pressure for comparison with other mandatory-level isobaric parameters, or in routine cross-sectional analysis. Additionally, a recommendation is made to calculate IPV at constant potential temperature from interpolated isentropic state variables instead of interpolating isobaric IPV fields. Applications of the developed programs include visualization of synoptic-scale motions an alternative method of locating the tropopause in cross-sectional analysis. This thesis is a significant effort to move toward operational use of isentropic analysis and the incorporation of IPV analysis into forecasting techniques at AFGWC.

Performance of the NSSL Hail Detection Algorithm for Multicell Storms Over the Coastal Southern Plains
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423543785 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A914663. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: A study of the National Severe Storm Laboratory's (NSSL's) Hail Detection Algorithm (HDA) has been performed for over 20 different multicell storm systems that occurred over the coastal region of the southern Great Plains. Since the HDA was developed using a data set mostly from the Central Plains where many of the thunderstorms are supercellular, this study addresses the regional and storm morphological influences on the algorithm performance. To enable use of ground validation from spotter networks, only the severe hail category was studied. While the NSSL HDA performed quite well in most instances, there was a tendency for the algorithm to over-warn for severe hail. Certain adjustable parameters within the HDA were tested for accuracy and optimized for the League City National Weather Service Office in Houston, Texas. These parameters include the Warning Threshold Selection Model (WTSM), the optimum population density threshold, and the Probability of Severe Hail (POSH) function.

Densities of Alcohols (Landolt-Bornstein)
M. Frenkel , X. Hong , and R.C. Wilhoit Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540662332 |
Book Description
Data on the densities of organic compounds are essential for both scientific and industrial applications. Knowledge of densities is important in many areas, including custody transfer of materials, product specification, development of various predictive methods, and for characterizing compounds and estimating their purity. The densities of alcohols were collected from the original literature published from 1870, to early 1998 and critically evaluated. The tables contain the original literature data along with their estimated uncertainties, and the evaluated data, in both numerical form and as coefficients to equations with selected statistical information. The volume also contains the CASR Number Index and a Chemical Name Index. The included CD-ROM allows fast full text index search.

Halcyon Daze
Palmer Owyoung Manufacturer: Colby College Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0972848703 |
Book Description
Halcyon Daze is an offbeat, and original comedy detailing the journey of a group of late twenty-somethings, living in San Francisco, trying to find themselves, and make sense of the world that surrounds them.It begins with Kalani Smith, a half-Chinese half-Caucasian woman from Hiawatha, Kansas who is having a quarter-life crisis. She has just dumped her fiance at the altar, is about to turn thirty, has a dead end job, is bored with life and still hasn't had her first orgasm. So she leaves Hiawatha on a quixotic adventure in search of herself, her burgeoning sexuality, and to understand the meaning of the question that plagues her; what is a perfect life?
Juxtaposed against vignettes of her tumultuous past we follow Kalani as she drives across the country on her way to San Francisco and toward her dream of becoming a writer. Along the way she meets a motley cast of characters including an elderly Native American Medicine Woman, a cross-dressing ER doctor, and a stripper/ psychologist.
Their search eventually leads them to Burning Man, this generation's answer to Woodstock. Where they embark on a surreal adventure in the Nevada desert, and find an experiment in temporary community full of art, drugs, and a new perspective on life.

offbeat, witty story, told with vivid imagery as he artfully
lets readers wander through the visions in his character's
minds. This book has the freedom and flair reminiscent of the
flower children in the sixties. It is an interesting read.
