Bates, John F. Fuller "I endorse it enthusiastically not only to those interested in an unusual aspect of science, but also to military commanders at all levels who wish to use weather as an ally, rather than to face it as a foe"—Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Moorman, USAF (Ret). "It brought back to memory so many intense 'battles,' some WON, some Lost, with person- alities and events not thought of for years "—Commander Francis W. Reichelderfer, USN (Deceased). Here for the first time is the story of Americas weathermen and -women who have played a crucial role in the success or failure of military operations, such as the Normandy invasion and the aborted Iranian hostage rescue mission. Based on interviews, reports, letters, and the authors' first-hand experience, this book describes the human interplay and personalized leadership that were so important in the development of the U.S. mili- tary weather services. 438 pp. 101 illus. maps. $29.95 Discount Coupon AMS members, 10% discount.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Yiqi Luo, for his taking me in and giving me a chance to accomplish my goal. I have benefited from his excellent advice and guidance on my research in the past four years. Without his financial support, encouragement, and critical comments, this work would not have been finished. I would like to extend my gratitude to Drs. Aondover A. Tarhule, Michael H. Engel, Lawrence J. Weider, and Jizhong Zhou, and for their advice, support, and willingness to serve on my advisory committee. Their classes, training, and advice have always been insightful and invaluable for my graduate study. Special thanks to Dr. Rebecca A. Sherry for her stay on my advisory committee in the first two years and her help with English and making sure the experimental sites are running and functional. Many thanks to the present and former members of Dr. Luo’s Ecolab for their help and providing an enjoyable working atmosphere.

INTRODUCTION The needs for more accurate, timely, and meaningful weather information grow as production, transportation, and ccmmunication processes become more intricate and more weather-sensitive. Aviators, agriculturists, builders, shippers, and insurers are among those who increasingly depend on information concerning the present dnd forecast occur­ rences of storm hazards. Development of the national weather system to meet national needs efficiently depends on the appl ication of findings of basJc and applied meteorological research. Mopern technology has produced numerous research tools whose coordinated-use should contribute importantly to improved understanding of the meteorological processes associ­ ated with severe storm development, to more accurate weather analysis and forecasting, and to eventual beneficial modification or control of weather including severe storms:. The Nat-ional Severe Sto-rms Laborat9ry aims to extend our understanding of severe convective phenomena such as tornadoes, hailstorms, and heavy rains. For the study of thesephenome~a, modern weather radar is an indispensable tool, and considerable specialization in techniques of radar data display and processing, including synthesis of radar data with other kinds of information, is required.

  • Getting to Know the WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION (WMO)
    -------~~-~~ \--~-----.------, Qetiuu; /,o Kl«JW tits WoRLD MnEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION -• by MILES HARRIS illustrated by VIC DOWD i',. ~__) .( , ~ l V L ) HAQ. G- About the Book In this book we discover that the science of meteorology, as practiced on a world­ wide scale under the auspices of the United Nations, is far more than a matter of weather prediction - it is a matter of life and death. Following WMO weathermen to the craters of live volcanoes, to locust-plagued Africa and the Middle East, to the war-~orn Congo, we learn two important things about their work. First, the meteorologist is not only a scientist, he is also a kind of missionary, for his job often is to save men from disasters - both the disasters of nature and those which they bring upon themselves. He shows men how to use natural resources to help them live healthier, happier lives. Second, we find that the weatherman may use many sciences in his effort to help and protect us. He might be an expert on radar, earthquakes, or even the habits of insects. Finally, we join these WMO pioneers in their hope to establish a World Weather Watch, which will permit them to bring to all countries the benefits of the scientific understanding which WMO is in a unique position to develop and distribute. About the Illustrator VICTOR DOWD, who shares with his four children the hobby of model-railroading, is an advertising artist as well as an illustrator. He received his art training at Pratt Institute and now lives in Westport, Connecticut.

    PATH TO NEXRAD Doppler Radar Development at the National Severe Storms Laboratory BY RODGER A. BROWN AND JOHN M. LEWIS Evolution of events at the National Severe Storms Laboratory during the 1960s and 1970s played an important role in the U.S. government's decision to build the current national network of NEXRAD, or WSR-88D radars. n 1959, 31 people lost their lives in an airplane in developing important new guidelines for the safety accident over Maryland.
