Using a Business Process Model as a Central Organizing Construct for an Undergraduate Weather Forecasting Course
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)ast five years, the author has employed a business process model as a central organizing construct for the senior-level Forecasting Techniques course at Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University's Daytona Beach, Florida, campus. ... -
Antarctic Automatic Weather Station Program: 30 Years of Polar Observation
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)a boasts one of the world's harshest environments. Since the earliest expeditions, a major challenge has been to characterize the surface meteorology around the continent. In 1980, the University of Wisconsin?Madison ... -
Revisiting the Statewide Climate Extremes for the United States: Evaluating Existing Extremes, Archived Data, and New Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)ime extreme climate records have been set in several states over the past few years. These records highlighted a need to review the existing statewide climate extremes tables maintained by the NOAA National Climatic Data ... -
Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
