Book Synopsis Wisconsin's Weather and Climate by : Joseph M. Moran
Download or read book Wisconsin's Weather and Climate written by Joseph M. Moran and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land that is now called Wisconsin has a place in weather history. Its climate has ranged from tropical to polar over hundreds of millions of years--and even today, that's the seeming difference between July and January here. And Wisconsinites have played key roles in advancing the science of meterology and climatology: Increase Lapham helped found the National Weather Service in the nineteenth century; Eric Miller was the first to broadcast regular weather reports on the radio in the 1920s; Verner Suomi pioneered tracking weather by satellite; and Reid Bryson has been a leader in studying global climate change. Wisconsin's Weather and Climate is written for weather buffs, teachers, students, outdoor enthusiasts, and those working in fields, lakes, and forests for whom the weather is a daily force to be reckoned with. It examines the physical features of Wisconsin that shape the state's climate--topography, mid-latitude location, and proximity to Lakes Superior and Michigan--and meteorological phenomena that affect climate, such as atmospheric circulation and air mass frequency. Authors Joseph M. Moran and Edward J. Hopkins trace the evolution of methods of weather observation and forecasting that are so important for agriculture and Great Lakes commerce, and they explain how Wisconsin scientists use weather balloons, radar, and satellites to improve forecasting and track climate changes. They take readers through the seasonal changes in weather in Wisconsin and give an overview of what past climate changes might tell us about the future. Appendices provide climatic data for Wisconsin, including extremes of temperature, snowfall, and precipitation at selected stations in the state. The authors also list sources for further information. Vignettes throughout the book provide fascinating weather lore: o Why there are cacti in Wisconsin o The famous Green Bay Packers-Dallas Cowboys "Ice Bowl" game of 1967 o The Army Signal Corps' ban on the word tornado o Advances in snow-making technology o The decline of the Great Lakes ice industry
Book Synopsis Lewis & Clark's Northwest Journey by : George R. Miller
Download or read book Lewis & Clark's Northwest Journey written by George R. Miller and published by Frank Amato Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lewis & Clark crossed the Rocky Mountains on their epic journey to the Pacific Ocean, they found a climate that was in some respects similar to what they were used to on the East Coast of the United States. But in other respects, it was very different. Their clothes were rotting from the constant rain. Massive waves kept them from crossing the mighty Columbia River. Were the rain and wind a constant for the entire voyage? Lewis & Clark's Northwest Journey: Weather Disagreeable!, by George R. Miller (author of Pacific Northwest Weather: But My Barometer Says Fair) examines the journals of Lewis and Clark and other members of the Corps of Discovery for key references to the weather the party experienced. It equates those weather entries to the weather patterns we know exist today. As a meteorologist, Miller has spent over 40 years wrestling with Pacific Northwest weather. He has also researched past weather events that have occurred in this part of the country over the last 200 years. His vast knowledge of the Northwest's weather gives great insight into the incredible difficulties the Corps of Discovery faced on their voyage west! Book jacket.
