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 excerpt: The difference between humidity & clouds; is the hydrogen bond between the water molecules. The hydrogen bond requires the surrounding space to be negatively ionized. Electricity is filling the skies with positively charged electrons, ridding the sky of negative ionization. Electricity is the cause of the drought. In the 1930's, lightning in Northern America tripled & has not increased nor decreased since. Why did it increase? Why did it plateau? What happened in the 1930's? Hint: Tesla... Where does the electron come from? This book is the science of rain & the science of healthy electromagnetics. Why does food taste better when we go camping? What does electricity have to do with this word? What's its influence beyond running our electrical devices? Where do the electrons come from; & where do they go? What is electromagnetic pollution? How does it influence the weather? All this and more is covered in The Science Of Rain.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of the classic Mars trilogy and The Years of Rice and Salt presents a riveting new trilogy of cutting-edge science, international politics, and the real-life ramifications of global warming as they are played out in our nation’s capital—and in the daily lives of those at the center of the action. Hauntingly yet humorously realistic, here is a novel of the near future that is inspired by scientific facts already making headlines. When the Arctic ice pack was first measured in the 1950s, it averaged thirty feet thick in midwinter. By the end of the century it was down to fifteen. One August the ice broke. The next year the breakup started in July. The third year it began in May. That was last year. It’s a muggy summer in Washington, D.C., as Senate environmental staffer Charlie Quibler and his scientist wife, Anna, work to call attention to the growing crisis of global warming. But as these everyday heroes fight to align the awesome forces of nature with the extraordinary march of technology, fate puts an unusual twist on their efforts—one that will place them at the heart of an unavoidable storm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather control. Juxtaposing those two words is enough to raise eyebrows in a world where even the best weather models still fail to nail every forecast, and when the effects of climate change on sea level height, seasonal averages of weather phenomena, and biological behavior are being watched with interest by all, regardless of political or scientific persuasion. But between the late nineteenth century—when the United States first funded an attempt to “shock” rain out of clouds—and the late 1940s, rainmaking (as it had been known) became weather control. And then things got out of control. In Make It Rain, Kristine C. Harper tells the long and somewhat ludicrous history of state-funded attempts to manage, manipulate, and deploy the weather in America. Harper shows that governments from the federal to the local became helplessly captivated by the idea that weather control could promote agriculture, health, industrial output, and economic growth at home, or even be used as a military weapon and diplomatic tool abroad. Clear fog for landing aircraft? There’s a project for that. Gentle rain for strawberries? Let’s do it! Enhanced snowpacks for hydroelectric utilities? Check. The heyday of these weather control programs came during the Cold War, as the atmosphere came to be seen as something to be defended, weaponized, and manipulated. Yet Harper demonstrates that today there are clear implications for our attempts to solve the problems of climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate change reckoning looms. As scientists try to discern what the Earth’s changing weather patterns mean for our future, Rachel Rothschild seeks to understand the current scientific and political debates surrounding the environment through the history of another global environmental threat: acid rain. The identification of acid rain in the 1960s changed scientific and popular understanding of fossil fuel pollution’s potential to cause regional—and even global—environmental harms. It showed scientists that the problem of fossil fuel pollution was one that crossed borders—it could travel across vast stretches of the earth’s atmosphere to impact ecosystems around the world. This unprecedented transnational reach prompted governments, for the first time, to confront the need to cooperate on pollution policies, transforming environmental science and diplomacy. Studies of acid rain and other pollutants brought about a reimagining of how to investigate the natural world as a complete entity, and the responses of policy makers, scientists, and the public set the stage for how societies have approached other prominent environmental dangers on a global scale, most notably climate change. Grounded in archival research spanning eight countries and five languages, as well as interviews with leading scientists from both government and industry, Poisonous Skies is the first book to examine the history of acid rain in an international context. By delving deep into our environmental past, Rothschild hopes to inform its future, showing us how much is at stake for the natural world as well as what we risk—and have already risked—by not acting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acid Rain Science and Politics in Japan is a pioneering work in environmental and Asian history as well as an in-depth analysis of the influence of science on domestic and international environmental politics. Kenneth Wilkening's study also illuminates the global struggle to create sustainable societies. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 ended Japan's era of isolation- created self-sufficiency and sustainability. The opening of the country to Western ideas and technology not only brought pollution problems associated with industrialization (including acid rain) but also scientific techniques for understanding and combating them. Wilkening identifies three pollution-related "sustainability crises" in modern Japanese history: copper mining in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which spurred Japan's first acid rain research and policy initiatives; horrendous post-World War II domestic industrial pollution, which resulted in a "hidden" acid rain problem; and the present-day global problem of transboundary pollution, in which Japan is a victim of imported acid rain. He traces the country's scientific and policy responses to these crises through six distinct periods related to acid rain problems and argues that Japan's leadership role in East Asian acid rain science and policy today can be explained in large part by the "historical scientific momentum" generated by efforts to confront the issue since 1868, reinforced by Japan's cultural affinity with rain (its "culture of rain"). Wilkening provides an overview of nature, culture, and the acid rain problem in Japan to complement the general set of concepts he develops to analyze the interface of science and politics in environmental policymaking. He concludes with a discussion of lessons from Japan's experience that can be applied to the creation of sustainable societies worldwide.

This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dataset used in this book consists of daily weather observations from various locations in Australia spanning a 10-year period. The target variable is "RainTomorrow," which predicts whether it will rain the following day. The dataset comprises 23 attributes, including: DATE: The date of observation.; LOCATION: The name of the weather station's location.; MINTEMP: The minimum temperature in degrees Celsius.; MAXTEMP: The maximum temperature in degrees Celsius.; RAINFALL: The amount of rainfall recorded for the day in mm.; EVAPORATION: Class A pan evaporation in mm for the 24 hours until 9 am.; SUNSHINE: The number of hours of bright sunshine in a day.; WINDGUSTDIR: The direction of the strongest wind gust in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDGUSTSPEED: The speed of the strongest wind gust in km/h in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDDIR9AM: The direction of the wind at 9 am. The project utilizes several machine learning models, including K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Adaboost, LGBM classifier, Gradient Boosting, and XGB classifier. Three feature scaling techniques, namely raw scaling, MinMax scaling, and standard scaling, are employed. These machine learning models are utilized to analyze the weather attributes and make predictions about the occurrence of rainfall. Each model has its strengths and may perform differently based on the characteristics of the dataset. Additionally, a GUI is developed using PyQt5 to visualize cross-validation scores, predicted values versus true values, confusion matrix, learning curves, decision boundaries, model performance, scalability, training loss, and training accuracy. These visualizations within the GUI provide a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance, learning behavior, decision-making boundaries, and the quality of its predictions. Users can leverage these insights to fine-tune the model and improve its accuracy and generalization capabilities. In addition, the GUI developed using PyQt5 also includes the capability to visualize features on a year-wise and month-wise basis. This functionality allows users to explore the variations and trends in different weather attributes across different years and months. With the year-wise and month-wise visualizations, users can gain insights into the temporal patterns and trends present in the weather data. It enables them to observe how specific attributes change over time and across different seasons, providing a deeper understanding of the weather patterns and their potential influence on rainfall occurrences.
