Looks at the attempt of an ageing propeller-driven plane to fly into the eye of the hurricane Gilbert on 6 September 1988. By accurately predicting Gilbert’s path, lives and property could be saved. This...
Looks at the causes and implications of global warming and climate change. Fox example, a minute rise in temperature within the Pacific basin can result in drought in Africa and flooding in Pakistan....
Francis Wilson of SKY News Weather discusses how the earth was created, the link between climate and life on earth, predicting the weather, jetstreams and how they affect the earth’s climate, the Gulf...
Concentrates more on aviation than meteorology discussing the hazardous low-level wind shears associated with downdraughts from severe convective storms (downbursts). Describes flying techniques which enable...
The carbon dioxide content of the earth’s atmosphere acts like the glass in a greenhouse. Burned at the present rate, the resulting emission of carbon dioxide will have warmed the earth’s atmosphere by...
The sea-breeze circulation over Florida is described using observed winds and inferences from the convergence lines which are related to the topography of the coastlines and Lake Okeechobee. The main part of...
Suggests that investment in space technology is perhaps a ‘flight from reality’ with so many problems on earth requiring urgent attention. Discusses the benefits that have and will be experienced,...
Explains formation and propagation of the wind-gust lines of thunderstorms (arc-clouds) using animation and time-lapse shots from geostationary weather satellites. Interpretation of characteristic...
Convection during thunderstorms caused by heat leads to an ascension of the clouds with the formation of a cirrus shield, an overshooting top; anvil forms result from wind shearing. Explanations using...
Computer-calculated wind vector fields show different particle formations and their changes under the influence of large-range sea breezes from different directions over Florida.
