Smitha∗, Michael T. Montgomeryb and Scott Braunc a Meteorological Institute, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, Munich, Germany b Dept. of Meteorology, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA c Laboratory for Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, MD, USA ∗Correspondence to: Prof. Roger K. Smith, Meteorological Institute, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Theresienstr. 37, 80333 Munich, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] Analyses of dropsonde data collected in Hurricane Edouard (2014) just after its mature stage are presented. These data, have unprecedentedly high spatial resolution, based on 87 dropsondes released by the unmanned NASA Global Hawk from an altitude of 18 km during the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) field campaign. Attempts are made to relate the analyses of the data to theories of tropical cyclone structure and behaviour. The tangential wind and thermal fields show the classical structure of a warm core vortex, in this case with a secondary eyewall feature. The equivalent potential temperature (θe) field shows also the expected structure with a mid-tropospheric minimum at outer radii and contours of θe flaring upwards and outwards at inner radii and, with some imagination, roughly congruent to the surfaces of absolute angular momentum. However, details of the analysed radial velocity field are somewhat sensitive to the way in which the sonde data are partitioned to produce an azimuthal average. This sensitivity is compounded by an apparent limitation of the assumed steadiness of the storm over the period of data collection.

  • An Analysis of Hurricane Cleo (1958) Based on Data from Research Reconnaissance Aircraft

LA SEUR Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla. and H. F. HAWKINS U.S.Weather Bureau, Miami, Fla. [Manuscript received July 5, 1963 revised September 6, 19631 ABSTRACT The structure of hurricane Cleo (1958) is presented, based 011 observations of wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, clouds, and precipitation obtained from three research reconnaissance aircraft of the Kational Hurricane Research Project. Insofar as possible, the data are analyzed in terms of departures from the mean tropical atmos- phere; and the physical processes which produce these departures are discussed. The central eye region of the hurri- cane emerges as the seat of the most important contributions to the structure of the entire storm, a result anticipated by Wexler from what may be termed the first research reconnaissance of a hurricane in 1944. 1.

Have students follow along as you lecture on background to Vietnam War: • French colonialism in Vietnam: 1800s-1941. • Japan took over Vietnam during WWII, but when Japan was defeated in 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence. • But French came back in and tried to take over again; U.S. supported French. The French lost in 1954. • 1954: Geneva Convention split the country into North and South, with the idea that there would be free elections in the near future. • (U.S. DID NOT sign Geneva Accords, for fear that Communists would win the general elections). • U.S. supported South Vietnam leader, Diem. But Diem turned out to be oppressive and unpopular. He canceled elections, repressed Buddhists; caused major discontent in South Vietnam. • U.S. feared that Diem’s unpopularity will push more South Vietnamese to support Communists. So they supported a coup and Diem was overthrown and assassinated—Nov. 1, 1963. • JFK assassinated only weeks later. LBJ inherited the problem in Vietnam. • Under new weak South Vietnam government, support for Communism grew; North Vietnam smuggled weapons into South Vietnam to support Communist insurgents through a network of trails through Laos and Cambodia (Ho Chi Minh trails). • Aug.

  • Chapter 3 Principles, Materials and Methods Used When Reconstructing
    ‘Under the shade I flourish’: An environmental history of northern Belize over the last three thousand five hundred years Elizabeth Anne Cecilia Rushton BMus BSc MSc Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 ABSTRACT Environmental histories are multi-dimensional accounts of human interaction with the environment over time. They observe how and when the environment changes (material environmental histories), and the effects of human activities upon the environment (political environmental histories). Environmental histories also consider the thoughts and feelings that humans have had towards the environment (cultural/ intellectual environmental histories). Using the methodological framework of environmental history this research, located in sub-tropical northern Belize, brings together palaeoecological records (pollen and charcoal) with archival documentary sources. This has created an interdisciplinary account which considers how the vegetation of northern Belize has changed over the last 3,500 years and, in particular, how forest resources have been used during the British Colonial period (c. AD 1800 – 1950). The palaeoecological records are derived from lake sediment cores extracted from the New River Lagoon, adjacent to the archaeological site of Lamanai. For over 3,000 years Lamanai was a Maya settlement, and then, more recently, the site of two 16th century Spanish churches and a 19th century British sugar mill. The British archival records emanate from a wide variety of sources including: 19th century import and export records, 19th century missionary letters and 19th and 20th century meteorological records and newspaper articles. The integration of these two types of record has established a temporal range of 1500 BC to the present.
