    • Climate Fluctuations and Impacts: The Illinois Case 

      Changnon, Stanley A. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      Climate fluctuations and their impacts exist on all scales, from the local to the global, but often both are most easily measured and understood on the state scale. Illinois, located in a humid continental climate and with ...

    • Mesoscale Observations of Lightning from Space Shuttle 

      Yonnegut, B.; Vaughan, O. H.; Brook, M.; Krehbiel, P. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      Motion pictures have been taken at night by astronauts on the space shuttle showing lightning discharges that spread horizontally at speeds of 105 m s?1 for distances over 60 km. Tape recordings have been made of the ...

    • Combined Atmospheric Sounding/Cloud Imagery—A New Forecasting Tool 

      Smith, William L.; Wade, Gary S.; Woolf, Harold M. (American Meteorological Society, 1985)
      A method for displaying sounding and cloud information in a composite image is described. Examples are shown to illustrate how a forecaster may use a time sequence of these images to monitor changes in atmospheric moisture ...
