    PRECIPITATION What does a 60 percent chance of precipitation mean? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-weather-forecast-no-50-per-cent-forecast-1.4206067 The probability of (PoP) does not mean • the percent of time precipitation will be observed over the area; or • the percentage of meteorologists who believe precipitation will fall! The most common definition among meteorologists is the probability that at least one one-hundredth inch of liquid-equivalent precipitation will fall in a single spot. Here’s a good way to grasp a PoP of 60 percent: If we had ten tomorrows with identical weather conditions, any given point would receive rain on six (60 percent) of those days. And rain would not fall on four of those days — on any given point. Remember: this PoP is a forecast for 10 potential tomorrows, not a forecast for the next 10 days! Although this may be confusing, weather forecasters have no problem thinking of tomorrow’s weather as a group of potential tomorrows. One thing you can take to the bank: as the PoP increases, precipitation grows more likely. In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. So many types… Rain Sleet Drizzle Hail Snow Graupel Thundersnow Fog and mist are technically SUSPENSIONS and not precipitation SYMBOLS RAINSHOWERS are identified on weather maps as a dot over a triangle Heavier rain as a series of dots, more when rain is heavier Rain - and other forms of precipitation - occur when Basically… warm moist air cools and condensation occurs.

  • Spatial Variations in Snow Stability on Uniform Slopes
    SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN SNOW STABILITY ON UNIFORM SLOPES: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXTRAPOLATION TO SURROUNDING TERRAIN by Christopher Cameron Landry A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Bozeman, Montana April 2002 COPYRIGHT by Christopher Cameron Landry 2002 All Rights Reserved ERRATA The author, Christopher C. Landry, wishes to inform readers of the Master of Science thesis titled "Spatial variations in snow stability on uniform slopes: implications for extrapolation to surrounding terrain", published April 2002, of an error in the statistical analyses of project results. T-statistic tests were mistakenly performed at p < 0.10 rather than at p < 0.05. Nonetheless, re-performing the T-statistic analyses at p < 0.05 altered the results only marginally, and the conclusions of the research remain unchanged. Subsequent to the publication of the thesis, and the discovery of this error, a peer- reviewed article was submitted, using an alternative statistical approach, and published in Cold Regions Science and Technology. Readers of the original these are referred to the following article: Landry, C., K. Birkeland, K. Hansen, J. Borkowski, R. Brown and R. Aspinall. 2004. Variations in snow strength and stability on uniform slopes. Cold Regions Science & Technology, Vol. 39, p. 205-218. APPROVAL of a thesis submitted by Christopher Cameron Landry This thesis has been read by each member of the thesis committee and has been found to be satisfactory regarding content, English usage, format, citations, bibliographic style, and consistency, and is ready for submission to the College of Graduate Studies.

  • The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J.A
    THE RELIGION OF THE ANCIENT CELTS BY J.A. MACCULLOCH HON. D.D.(ST. ANDREWS); HON. CANON OF CUMBRAE CATHEDRAL AUTHOR OF "COMPARATIVE THEOLOGY" "RELIGION: ITS ORIGIN AND FORMS" "THE MISTY ISLE OF SKYE" "THE CHILDHOOD OF FICTION: A STUDY OF FOLK-TALES AND PRIMITIVE THOUGHT" Edinburgh: T. & T. CLARK, 38 George Street 1911 Printed by MORRISON & GIBB LIMITED, FOR T. & T. CLARK, EDINBURGH. LONDON: SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, HAMILTON, KENT, AND CO. LIMITED. NEW YORK: CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS. TO ANDREW LANG PREFACE The scientific study of ancient Celtic religion is a thing of recent growth. As a result of the paucity of materials for such a study, earlier writers indulged in the wildest speculative flights and connected the religion with the distant East, or saw in it the remains of a monotheistic faith or a series of esoteric doctrines veiled under polytheistic cults. With the works of MM. Gaidoz, Bertrand, and D'Arbois de Jubainville in France, as well as by the publication of Irish texts by such scholars as Drs. Windisch and Stokes, a new era may be said to have dawned, and a flood of light was poured upon the scanty remains of Celtic religion. In this country the place of honour among students of that religion belongs to Sir John Rh[^y]s, whose Hibbert Lectures On the Origin and Growth of Religion as illustrated by Celtic Heathendom (1886) was an epoch-making work. Every student of the subject since that time feels the immense debt which he owes to the indefatigable researches and the brilliant suggestions of Sir John Rh[^y]s, and I would be ungrateful if I did not record my indebtedness to him.

  • Forbidden History of Europe Page Stamp.Qxd
    The Forbidden History of Europe - The Chronicles and Testament of the Aryan 301 Perun would see to that! In the Christian era Svarog was equated with the Lord Sabaoth, or in other words God the Father. Svarozhich Worshiped daily Svarozhich was also called Svarogich (the Son of Svarog,1254 or Son of the Sun), Belobog (the White God), Dobrobog (the Good God), or Radigast (Poles). Svarozhich was fire incarnate on earth, Svarog’s son, from whom all divine flame originated in the hearths and holy temple fires. He might therefore be favourably equated with fire, the son of Ahura Mazda. Radigast (the Polish version of Svarozhich) was said to carry a massive two-handed, twin-bladed war axe, and wore a bovine skull for a breastplate, and a helm of a swan. He had rather fierce features including curly red hair. FIRE, THE SON OF GOD Another interpretation fielded is that the Son of Svarog was Sva-Rozhich’, an Indo-Iranian perception of a horned dog.1255 As explained thus far Iranians believed one of the Supreme god’s sons was the lord of all Devils, a horned winged goat or dog. Therefore Svarozhich might also have represented Chernobog (see p. 308). The convolutedness of these possible interpretations may also reflect Zurvanite cosmology, and accordingly Svarozhich could also be happily applied to both fire (the Son of the Sun) and the Horned dog (the destroyer). The name Radigast, who had his own elaborately furnished temple in Poland, could have been derived from Radigasius, the famed Gothic king who held the reigns of power in that region, and who was among those Gothic leaders who led the attack to take Rome.
