    A Digital Eye on Today: for a smarter, safer and more secure tomorrow Northern Europe Case Studies Book 1 2 A Digital Eye on Today: for a smarter, safer and more secure tomorrow Northern Europe Case Studies Book 3 4 I joined Axis Communication UK in 1997 when we had a single network camera and the concept of IP-based, digital surveillance was still in its infancy. “Nursery Cam” and “Pet Cam” were two initial use cases that caught the imagination and remote monitoring over a phone line while painfully slow, was still a business driver for adoption. Fast forward 16 years and Axis have the broadest range of IP video products on the market, an installation base that spans every industry segment and customers can now enjoy a far better remote monitoring experience from a mobile phone. During those 16 years, I have been privileged to work for a company that has pioneered innovation in surveillance cameras, challenged conventional thinking on how we access video surveillance and the applications it’s used for, while all along maintaining a steadfast commitment to education and raising market awareness of the benefits of IP video. As a result, Axis now hold the position as market leader in surveillance cameras, which is quite some feat as we compete with manufacturers who sell both IP and analogue cameras. Our network of passionate and proficient partners have installed Axis IP A big thank to you to all the true experts – our integrator, cameras and video encoders in every market segment imaginable across distribution, hardware and software partners – who made these Northern Europe.

  • Northern Hemisphere Tropospheric Mid-Latitude Circulation After Violent Volcanic Eruptions
    Beitr. Phys. Atmosph., February 1994, p. 3-13 Article 0005-8173/94/01 0003-11 $ 3.00/0 Vol.67,No.1 3 Northern Hemisphere Tropospheric Mid-Latitude Circulation after Violent Volcanic Eruptions by H.-F. GRAF, J. PERLWITZ and I. KIRCHNER Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie, Bundesstraße 55, 20146 Hamburg, Germany (Manuscript received September 3, 1993; accepted January 26, 1994) Abstract The strengths of the polar stratospheric vortex and geopotential height anomalies of the 500 hPa layer are studied that are observed after recent violent volcanic eruptions. After all tropical eruptions the polar stratospheric vortex was intensified. The tropospheric anomaly patterns after tropical eruptions are very similar to those of winter months with a very strong stratospheric vortex, irrespective whether volcanically forced or not. Hence, if they have any effect on the wintertime tropospheric circulation, tropical eruptions seem to force a natural mode of the stratospheric winter circulation which is associated with a specific response of the tropospheric circulation with maximum amplitude over the North Atlantic and adjacent continental regions. Therefore, it remains difficult to give statistical evidence of volcanic impact on climate on the basis of the few observations after these rare events. A combination of observational studies and model experiments may help to overcome these difficulties in the future. Zusammenfassung Die troposphärische Zirkulation in mittleren Breiten der Nordhemisphäre nach starken Vulkanausbrüchen Die nach den jüngsten starken Vulkaneruptionen beobachteten Stärken des polaren Strat- osphärenwirbels und der Anomalien der geopotentiellen Höhe der $00 Pa Fläche werden untersucht. Nach allen tropischen Eruptionen war der polare stratosphärische Wirbel verstärkt. Die troposphärischen Anomalieverteilungen nach tropischen Eruptionen sind sehr ähnlich zu jenen in Wintermonaten mit einem sehr starken stratosphärischen Wirbel, unabhängig ob dieser vulkanisch angetrieben ist oder nicht.
