This book describes the fundamental scientific principles underlying high quality instrumentation used for environmental measurements. It discusses a wide range of in situ sensors employed in practical environmental monitoring and, in particular, those used in surface based measurement systems. It also considers the use of weather balloons to provide a wealth of upper atmosphere data. To illustrate the technologies in use it includes many examples of real atmospheric measurements in typical and unusual circumstances, with a discussion of the electronic signal conditioning, data acquisition considerations and data processing principles necessary for reliable measurements. This also allows the long history of atmospheric measurements to be placed in the context of the requirements of modern climate science, by building the physical science appreciation of the instrumental record and looking forward to new and emerging sensor and recording technologies.
The compelling and adventurous stories of seven pioneering scientists who were at the forefront of what we now call climate science. From the glaciers of the Alps to the towering cumulonimbus clouds of the Caribbean and the unexpectedly chaotic flows of the North Atlantic, Waters of the World is a tour through 150 years of the history of a significant but underappreciated idea: that the Earth has a global climate system made up of interconnected parts, constantly changing on all scales of both time and space. A prerequisite for the discovery of global warming and climate change, this idea was forged by scientists studying water in its myriad forms. This is their story. Linking the history of...
This book examines our understanding of electrostatic phenomena on the different planetary surfaces in the solar system using knowledge gathered from instrumentation on space exploration missions.
We're a society that knows how to apply for a job. The challenge for employment seekers today is to become proficient at finding work. That's a much more complicated process than applying for a job. This book guides employment seekers through that complicated process and gives them the tools and strategies they need. The payoff will be that they will be miles ahead of the average employment seeker. And they will be on a solid foundation to succeed regardless of the upcoming challenges in the workplace. "This enlightening work is a must for the shelves of every guidance and employment counselor." –Canadian Counseling Association COGNICA Newsletter "There is much in here that is very useful . . . recommended for any HE careers library." –AGCAS Phoenix Magazine "In my mind it's something that we, as career service professionals, should most definitely read." –Campus career counselor "An insightful approach to how one can successfully find work . . . [plus] innovative marketing ideas and sample marketing tools specifically designed for the 21st century." –The ContactPoint Bulletin
Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to review the role of electrification in the atmospheres of other planets and their moons. This book reviews the theory, and, where available, measurements, of planetary atmospheric electricity, taken to include ion production and ion-aerosol interactions. The conditions necessary for a global atmosph...
The Radcliffe Observatory possesses the longest continuous series of single-site weather records in the British Isles, and one of the longest in the world. The book comprises weather commentaries by month and season, a chronology of notable weather events in Oxford since the 17th Century, an analysis of climate change in Oxford over two centuries.
An accessible and engaging account of the history of climate science and exploration on Earth and other planetary bodies.
A uniquely prismatic representation of total solar eclipses, this volume invites us to imagine a liberated mode of discovery, perception, creativity, and knowledge-production across the traditional academic divisions.
