      Hasler, A. F.; Pierce, H.; Morris, K. R.; Dodge, J. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      Perspective display techniques can be applied to meteorological data sets to aid in their interpretation. Examples of a perspective display procedure applied to satellite and aircraft visible and infrared image pairs and ...

    • NCAR and the Universities 

      Hess, Wilmot N. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has a responsibility for enhancing and assisting the national university-based atmospheric research effort. This responsibility is met partly by programs of research at ...

    • Great Historical Events That Were Significantly Affected by the Weather: 7, “Protestant Wind”—“Popish Wind”: The Revolusion of 1688 in England 

      Lindgrén, S.; Neumann, J. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      James II, King of England from 1685 to 1688, increasingly antagonized his people by his forced attempts to restore the Catholic faith to a position of eminence in England; many of his actions were contrary to acts passed ...

    • Looking at Western Nepal's Climate 

      Thyer, Norman (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      Working in western Nepal as a climatologist, one encounters conditions and problems very different from those in technologically advanced countries. This article discusses the working environment, the present state of ...

    • 1979 3D-Nephanalysis Global Total Cloud Amount Climatology 

      Henderson-Sellers, A.; Hughes, N. A. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      A one-year global total cloud amount climatology has been compiled from the U.S. Air Force's 3D-nephanalysis cloud archive. The derived cloud distributions are shown to be reliable and in good agreement with major features ...

    • An Updated Climate Feedback Diagram 

      Robock, Alan (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      An update of the Kellogg and Schneider climate feedback diagram that incorporates thermal inertia, meltwater, and vegetation feed-backs, and more clearly distinguishes external forcing and heat fluxes, is presented. This ...
