  • Henry Melson Stommel<Br> 27 September, 1920ÂŒ17 January
    Journal of Marine Research, 50, i-viii, 1992 Henry Melson Stommel 27 September, 1920-17 January, 1992 Henry Stommel's heart stopped beating shortly after midnight on Friday, January 17, 1992, four days after he had undergone surgery for liver cancer at Deaconness Hospital in Brookline, Mass. His death brought to an end the career of a man who, for 45 years, was the most significant scientific contributor to the development of oceanography and who brought a rare degree of harmony and collegiality to the field. When Hank arrived at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1944 there was little reason to suppose that anything momentous had taken place. As an undergraduate at Yale he had been advised by a counselor that, since he evidently had no talent for science, he should take up law. In 1944 he was a second-year graduate student in Astronomy at Yale and was a conscientious objector to war. The job at Woods Hole was a way of serving his country without going to the battlefield. The Yale Astronomy Department from which he had come was strongly focused on celestial mechanics, and Hank had developed an interest in the marine environ- ment through his study of celestial navigation, one of the courses that he taught. He had read a lot about the ocean and decided to prepare a synthesis that he dedicated to the students in the navy program in which he had been teaching. It was a trait that was to stay with him thoughout his life; he would be heard. Over a three-week period he wrote a 208-page book, Science of the Seven Seas, which was published by Cornell Maritime Press in 1945.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Exam 2: Cloud Physics April 16, 2008 Physical Meteorology 3440
    Name ____________________________ Exam 2: Cloud Physics April 16, 2008 Physical Meteorology 3440 Questions 1-10 are worth 5 points each. Questions 11-15 are worth 10 points each. 1. Rank the concentrations of the following from lowest (1) to highest (3): cloud condensation nuclei (3) cloud droplets (2) raindrops (1) 2. Match the following particles with their typical size cloud condensation nuclei 10 μm cloud droplets 0.1 μm raindrops 1000 μm 3. Why do ice crystals grow at the expense of supercooled water droplets? The saturation vapor pressure over liquid is higher than the saturation vapor pressure over ice. Therefore, the environment will be more supersaturated with respect to ice than with respect to liquid, and the ice crystals will grow more quickly. At some point, the ice crystals may bring S (with respect to ice) down to 1, in which case Sl (with respect to liquid) is less than 1, causing the liquid drops to evaporate. 4. Match the following particles with their most likely means of growth 5 μm cloud drop accretion 5 μm ice crystal aggregation 100 μm dendritic ice crystals in ice cloud depositional growth 500 μm ice crystal in mixed-phase cloud condensational growth 100 μm cloud drop collision-coalescence 5. Fill in the blanks: Not all clouds with temperatures below the freezing point of water contain ice, because of the scarcity of ice nuclei in the atmosphere, and the temperature at which they nucleate ice. As the cloud temperature decreases, the probability of ice increases to the 1 temperature of -40 °C, at which point homogeneous freezing occurs.

Inductive ion capture: In a preexisting electrical field, there will be a separation of charge across a hydrometeor. As the hydrometeor falls, gaseous ions will either be attracted or repelled from the underside of the hydrometeor, depending on their sign. Thus, the hydrometeor will gain an increasing charge of whatever sign it has on its topside. In Fig. 1 the positive ions are repelled as the hydrometeor falls, but the negative ions are attracted. Thus, the hydrometeor gains a net negative charge as it falls. Figure 1: Inductive ion capture. 1 Ion capture may play a role in weakly electrified storms, but cannot be used to explain the amount of charge separation seen in a thunderstorm without the presence of other mechanisms. Inductive particle rebound: Two hydrometeors in a preexisting electric field, falling at different speeds, will exchange charge during collision as shown in Fig.

  • Thunderstorm Anatomy and Dynamics
    THUNDERSTORM ANATOMY AND DYNAMICS An Overview Prepared by LCDR Bill Nisley MR 3421 • Cloud Physics Naval Postgraduate School • Monterey, California [email protected] Photo credits: Thunderstorm Cell and Mammatus Clouds by: Michael Bath; Tornado by Daphne Zaras / NSSL; Supercell Thunderstorm by: AMOS; Wall Cloud by: Greg Michels 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to present a broad overview of the various cloud structures displayed during the life cycle of a thunderstorm and the atmospheric dynamics associated with each. Knowledge of atmospheric dynamics provides for a keener understanding of the physical processes related to the “why and how” certain cloud features form. Accordingly, observation of cloud features presents visual queuing of changes in the atmosphere. 2. Thunderstorm Formation and Stages of Development Thunderstorm development is dependent on three basic components: moisture, instability, and some form of lifting mechanism. 2.1 Moisture – As air near the surface is lifted higher in the atmosphere and cooled, available water vapor condenses into small water droplets which form clouds. As condensation of water vapor occurs, latent heat is released making the rising air warmer and less dense than its surroundings (figure 1). The added heat allows the air (parcel) to continue to rise and form an updraft within the developing cloud structure. 2.1.1 In general1, low level moisture increases instability simply by making more latent heat available to the lower atmosphere. Increasing mid level moisture can decrease instability in the atmosphere because moist air is less dense than dry air and therefor is unable to evaporate • Figure 1 – Positive buoyancy / instability as a result of precipitation and cloud droplets as condensation and release of latent heat.
