Download or read book Precipitation written by Ian Strangeways and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-23 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precipitation plays a significant role in the climate system, and this book is the first to provide a comprehensive examination of the processes involved in the generation of clouds, rain, snow and hail; how precipitation is measured; how its distribution has changed over time; and how we still need to make improvements to the way precipitation is measured. It traces our attempts to understand what clouds are, from ancient Greeks to the present day. It also discusses developments in the measurement of precipitation, from rain gauges to satellite techniques, and how these measurements have enabled researchers to estimate global trends, totals, variability and extremes of precipitation. This will be a valuable and fascinating reference for academic researchers in the fields of environmental science and climatology. It will also be of great interest to professionals in water resource and flood management.
Download or read book Rainfall written by Firat Y. Testik and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 191. Rainfall: State of the Science offers the most up-to-date knowledge on the fundamental and practical aspects of rainfall. Each chapter, self-contained and written by prominent scientists in their respective fields, provides three forms of information: fundamental principles, detailed overview of current knowledge and description of existing methods, and emerging techniques and future research directions. The book discusses Rainfall microphysics: raindrop morphodynamics, interactions, size distribution, and evolution Rainfall measurement and estimation: ground-based direct measurement (disdrometer and rain gauge), weather radar rainfall estimation, polarimetric radar rainfall estimation, and satellite rainfall estimation Statistical analyses: intensity-duration-frequency curves, frequency analysis of extreme events, spatial analyses, simulation and disaggregation, ensemble approach for radar rainfall uncertainty, and uncertainty analysis of satellite rainfall products The book is tailored to be an indispensable reference for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students who study any aspect of rainfall or utilize rainfall information in various science and engineering disciplines.
Book Synopsis Rainfall of the United States by : Alfred J. Henry
Download or read book Rainfall of the United States written by Alfred J. Henry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rainfall of the United States: With Annual, Seasonal, and Other Charts It is quite probable that rain falls in the United States at one point or another every day of the year. On very rare occasions the observers of the Weather Bureau report no precipitation at a given hour, but it should be remembered that their range of vision can cover at the utmost less than one-hundredth part of the whole area. The theories of rainfall given in the books of twenty or thirty years ago are not now wholly accepted. There is one very simple principle, however, upon which no disagreement exists, viz, that in order to produce abundant rain the temperature of air must he suddenly cooled below the dew-point. When the air is thus cooled, a portion of the water vapor which is always present within it is changed to the liquid state, and that which formerly existed as a gas or vapor now becomes visible in the form of minute particles of fog or mist. The particles thus formed may float away with the wind or they may increase in size, coalesce, and fall to the ground of their own weight. Whether the condensation of vapor thus outlined results simply in cloud, or whether rain falls, depends on the magnitude of the temperature changes that take place in the air Inass whose vapor is being condensed. A rise in temperature is inimical to further condensation; a fall is favorable to precipitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rain written by Cynthia Barnett and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rain is elemental, mysterious, precious, destructive. It is the subject of countless poems and paintings; the top of the weather report; the source of the world's water. Yet this is the first book to tell the story of rain. Cynthia Barnett's Rain begins four billion years ago with the torrents that filled the oceans, and builds to the storms of climate change. It weaves together science—the true shape of a raindrop, the mysteries of frog and fish rains—with the human story of our ambition to control rain, from ancient rain dances to the 2,203 miles of levees that attempt to straitjacket the Mississippi River. It offers a glimpse of our "founding forecaster," Thomas Jefferson, who measured every drizzle long before modern meteorology. Two centuries later, rainy skies would help inspire Morrissey’s mopes and Kurt Cobain’s grunge. Rain is also a travelogue, taking readers to Scotland to tell the surprising story of the mackintosh raincoat, and to India, where villagers extract the scent of rain from the monsoon-drenched earth and turn it into perfume. Now, after thousands of years spent praying for rain or worshiping it; burning witches at the stake to stop rain or sacrificing small children to bring it; mocking rain with irrigated agriculture and cities built in floodplains; even trying to blast rain out of the sky with mortars meant for war, humanity has finally managed to change the rain. Only not in ways we intended. As climate change upends rainfall patterns and unleashes increasingly severe storms and drought, Barnett shows rain to be a unifying force in a fractured world. Too much and not nearly enough, rain is a conversation we share, and this is a book for everyone who has ever experienced it.

Book Synopsis Reading the Skies by : Vladimir Jankovic
Download or read book Reading the Skies written by Vladimir Jankovic and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of Aristotle until the late eighteenth century, meteorology meant the study of "meteors"—spectacular objects in the skies beneath the moon, which included everything from shooting stars to hailstorms. In Reading the Skies, Vladimir Jankovic traces the history of this meteorological tradition in Enlightenment Britain, examining its scientific and cultural significance. Jankovic interweaves classical traditions, folk/popular beliefs and practices, and the increasingly quantitative approaches of urban university men to understanding the wonders of the skies. He places special emphasis on the role that detailed meteorological observations played in natural history and chorography, or local geography; in religious and political debates; and in agriculture. Drawing on a number of archival sources, including correspondence and weather diaries, as well as contemporary pamphlets, tracts, and other printed sources reporting prodigious phenomena in the skies, this book will interest historians of science, Britain, and the environment.
Book Synopsis Historical Essays on Meteorology, 1919–1995 by : James Fleming
Download or read book Historical Essays on Meteorology, 1919–1995 written by James Fleming and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the occasion of its 75th anniversary, the American Meteorological Society engaged a number of eminent pioneers and leading practitioners to write about the fields they helped develop. They were joined by several professional historians of science and technology. The resulting essays constitute a substantial sampling of what has been learned since 1919 in the atmospheric sciences and services—in research, in education, and in the private sector. This volume will be of interest to weather professionals and enthusiasts, historians of science, and to students of science and history. It will help us calibrate where we are, where we have been, and where we might be going as a discipline. Hopefully it will inspire others to value the past and to dig into it more deeply. Such attention to history is a necessary step in the maturation of a scientific discipline.
