Welcome to Kelowna – A Natural Choice! On behalf of the Kelowna City Council, I am happy to write this letter welcoming all the delegates attending the Annual Congress of the Canadian Meterological and Oceanographic Society from May 25 to 30, 2008 at the Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and Conference Centre. We are honoured and privileged that your society has chosen to hold your annual congress in our city. Your congress theme of “Water, Weather and Climate: Science Informing Decisions” will attract many interested society members and will also appeal to members of the public. The presentations offered by leading researchers and scientists cover many fascinating and topical subjects that will undoubtedly provide a valuable exchange of information and education for everyone involved. We trust that this important gathering of your society will provide an opportunity to share information, meet new people, and enjoy your visit to Kelowna. Kelowna is a dynamic and vibrant city renowned for our hospitality and friendliness. If time permits, we hope you will enjoy exploring our parks and waterfront esplanade, and experience the many unique restaurants, shops, golf courses and wineries in our area. Kelowna’s Cultural District, located in the downtown area near the Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort, is evolving into a vibrant artistic and recreational centre. While you are here I know you will receive the traditional warm Kelowna welcome from our citizens, a welcome that I hope will encourage you to return. Yours very truly, Sharon Shepherd MAYOR 42nd CMOS Congress / 42e congrès SCMO 5 2008 Welcome from the President of CMOS On behalf of the CMOS Council and Executive, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 42nd Congress of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society in Kelowna, British Columbia. With a theme of Water, Weather, Climate: Science Informing Decisions, ou r society and its members can continue to show the importance of meteorology and oceanography to all Canadians and the country as a whole. Several years of hard work by many people behind the scenes have led to this congress, which should be an extremely successful event. This congress would never have been possible without the ha rd work of people in the m ain CMOS office in Ottawa, as well as the many dedicated volunteers from Kelowna and beyond. Despite Kelowna being a smaller centre, we are looking at a program for this congress that is second to none. We have many people to thank for this, but for now I’d like to acknowledge those leading the way: Kent Johnson, Chair of the CMOS 2008 Local Arrangements Committee, and Peter Jackson and Diane Masson, Co-Chairs of the CMOS 2008 Scientific Program Committee. Additionally, the Congress is not just a scie ntific and social event but also an occasi on for the Council and the CMOS committees to meet and carry out som e essential business for th e society.

  • Knowledge Control and Social Contestation in China's
    Science in Movements This book analyzes and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate. The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different con- troversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists’ strategies have jointly triggered, nur- tured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China’ssocialtransformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China’s science controversies and social movements.

THE ASCENT OF MOUNT FAIRWEATHER by ALLEN CARPE We were returning from the expedition to Mount Logan in 1925. Homeward bound, our ship throbbed lazily across the Gulf of Alaska toward Cape Spencer. Between reefs of low fog we saw the frozen monolith of St. Elias, rising as it were sheer out of the water, its foothills and the plain of the Malaspina Glacier hidden behind the visible sphere of the sea. Clouds shrouded the heights of the Fairweather Range as we entered Icy Strait and touched at Port Althorp for a cargo of salmon; but I felt then the challenge of this peak which was now perhaps the outstanding un­ climbed mOUlitain in America, lower but steeper than St. Elias, and standing closer to tidewater than any other summit of comparable height in the world. Dr. William Sargent Ladd proved a kindred spirit, and in the early summer of 1926 We two, with Andrew Taylor, made an attempt on the mountain. Favored by exceptional weather, we reached a height of 9,000 feet but turned back Photo by Bradford Washburn when a great cleft intervened between the but­ tresses we had climbed and the northwest ridge Mount Fairweather from the Coast Range at 2000 feet of the peak. Our base was Lituya Bay, a beau­ (Arrows mark 5000 and 9000-foot camps) tiful harbor twenty miles below Cape Fair- s camp at the base of the south face of Mount Fair­ weather; we were able to land near the foot of the r weather, at 5,000 feet.

FIRST ASCENT OF THE EAST PEAK OF MOUNT LOGAN by GILBERT ROBERTS Mount Logon. North America's second highest peak at 19,850 feet, is also one of the world's largest mountain masses. Located in the wildest part of the St. Elias Range, it has seen little mountaineering activity. In 1925, the first ascent was accomplished by a route from the Ogilvie Glacier which gained the long ridge leading to the summit from King Col. This ascent had gone down as one of the great efforts in mountaineering history. McCarthy, Foster, Lambert, Carpe, Read, and Taylor ulti- mately reached the central summit after months of effort including the relaying of loads by dog sled in the long Yukon winter--a far cry from the age of the air drop.

We recorded the burial times of temperature sensors mounted on a specially constructed tower to determine snow accumulation during individual storms in the summit caldera of Mount Wrangell, Alaska, USA, (628 N, 1448 W; 4100 m a.s.l.) during the accumulation year June 2005 to June 2006. The experiment showed most of the accumulation occurred in episodic large storms, and half of the total accumulation was delivered in late summer. The timing of individual events correlated well with storms recorded upwind, at Cordova, the closest Pacific coastal weather station (200 km south- southeast), although the magnitude of events showed only poor correlation.

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1 U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona 1 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP OF 97-426 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MOUNT LOGAN QUADRANGLE, NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA By George H. Billingsley INTRODUCTION This report of the Mount Logan quadrangle of the Colorado Plateau is part of a cooperative U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service project to provide geologic information of areas in or near the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Most of the Grand Canyon and parts of the adjacent plateaus are geologically mapped at the 1:500,000 scale. This map contributes detailed geologic information to a previously inadequately mapped area. The geologic information presented here will assist in future geological studies related to land use management, range management, and flood control programs by federal and state agencies and private enterprises. The nearest settlement to this map area is Colorado City, Arizona, about 96 km (60 mi) north in a remote region of the Arizona Strip, northwestern Arizona (fig. 1). Elevations in the map area range from about 1,195 m (3,920 ft) in Whitmore Canyon (southwest corner of map) to 2,398 m (7,866 ft) at Mount Logan (northwest corner of the map).
