Abstract: Large metropolitan areas in North America, home to 65% of the nation's population, have created major changes in their climates over the past 150 years. The rate and amount of the urban climate change approximate those ...

Abstract: Lake Michigan reached record-high levels during 1985 and 1986 just 10 years after attaining its previous record highs of this century. The climate of the basin has become cloudier and cooler over the past 40 years, loading ...

Abstract: Two large, dense recording rain gauge networks of identical size and gauge density, the Central Illinois Network (CIN) and the Southern Illinois Network (SIN), operating over the same 10-yr period, offered unique data to ...

Abstract: Operation in Illinois of eight dense rain gauge networks of varying sizes, with each operating for 5?22 yr, provided data used to assess the temporal frequency of very heavy rain events on small- to moderate-sized areas. ...

Abstract: The State of Illinois has just established a climate center addressing a wide variety of climate-related activities. This center has evolved after 25 years of services, research, and data management addressing the climatology ...

Abstract: A new national effort dealing with planned and inadvertent weather modification has been recommended. The contention is that this readiness stems from finally learning important facts about how to properly design and conduct ...

Abstract: Historical (1901?85) summer (June?August) rainfall data in central Illinois were used to construct three typical rain conditions: one representing the typical dry summer (based on the driest 20% of the summers of the past ...

Abstract: A paradox has developed involving on one hand sizeable reductions during the last two years in federal support of weather modification, as opposed to major scientific-technical advances in the field plus strong recommendations ...

Abstract: Weather modification activities in 1972 are reviewed to identify the major new projects, the major new findings, the major problems, and what these all mean for this exciting, often controversial science. The major new ...
